Build Strong Sibling Attachment Through Unique Baby Gifts

Posted On 2010-12-08 09:19:17 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Do you remember how you struggled with your first child birth? Back then, your concerns were how painful the delivery might be, how you would be able to cope financially and how you would actually foster a healthy parent and child relationship. Now that you are having your second baby, you are worried less about these factors. You are now bothered by a new kind of concern. How do you welcome a new baby without making your first-born feel left-out?

Show your first-born that love does not run out.

You must be able to make your first-born understand that you will never run out of love to give, not even when there is a new baby around. Show him that a new addition to the family means more love and more joy in your home. And do show your child that unlike candy or ice cream, sharing love with the new baby does not mean he'll have less left.

And do pay attention to your first-born even with the baby around. Keep in mind that no amount of TV, books or unique baby gifts can truly divert the attention of a child. If you spend a lot less time with him, he will notice. So do communicate with your child and always reassure your love for him.

Better yet, get your first-born involved in your daily rituals of taking care with the new baby. Not only do you get to spend time with your first born, you also foster healthy siblings' relationship. And to this effect, you should also encourage your first born to play with his new sibling. Put those unique baby gifts into good use!

Build strong siblings' attachment right from the start.

Get your first-born involved in the experience as much as possible. Talk to him about the coming of the baby. Take him with you when visiting health practitioners and when taking an ultrasound. Get him just as excited as you are by the new arrival. Make the new arrival a family's baby and not just Mom's and Dad's.

Keep your first-born involved.

You can also get your first-born involved in your decision-making (only those that he can handle of course). Ask for his opinion when out shopping for unique baby gifts. You can also ask him where the baby's car seat should be. Make him feel like he's playing the important role of a caring and protective big brother.

You can also ask 'big brother' to produce his own unique baby gifts. Give him materials for his own personalized gifts. You can give him plain baby tees or onesies and a set of fabric paints. Ask him to paint a picture that would show his love for the baby.

Make him experience the magic, too.

Having a new baby can be a magical experience for the parents. Make your first-born feel the magic too. Watch movies about siblings with him. Make him excited about the unique baby gifts for the new arrival. Read books that are about having a sibling. Make the whole experience fairytale-like. And give your first-born the role of a hero out to protect and love the new baby.

cooking holiday

Posted On 2010-11-02 15:42:42 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

I had always had a secret dream of being a chef. Unfortunately, the realities of the workplace made it not worth the effort. You see, if you have ever worked in a kitchen, you truly know what it is to be underpaid and overworked. Every day is an ordeal, and although you are trained to make some of the best, most delicious food in the world, you spend most of your time cooking well done steaks for near minimum wage. Instead, I decided to become a good cook for my family and a successful professional for myself. Nonetheless, as the years have gone by I have regretted not having more opportunities to fully explore my culinary interests. That is how I first discovered cooking holidays.

One day, I happened to be reading a culinary magazine, thinking about new recipes I could try out on my family. Easter was coming up, and I was looking for new Easter holiday recipes. That is when I saw it: an ad for cooking Tours in Italy. I had never heard of a cooking tour before, and I immediately wrote the company to request more information. What I found out surprised and delighted me. Cooking vacations are the perfect getaway for people like me.

A cooking holiday combines aspects of a workshop with some beautiful sightseeing. There are different kinds of cooking holidays , but essentially they all involve a beautiful, scenic destination known for its cuisine. Once there, you get to combine sightseeing with cooking classes from some of the world's most renowned chefs – people who specialize in the cuisine of that particular area. In between cooking classes, you get to go the local food markets and explore the native produce, as well as explore one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. I had never been to Italy before, and I was anxious to try it out.

The cooking holidays were pretty expensive, but I had put away a little bit of money for a rainy day and I was convinced that it would be worth the trip. Although my family was sad to see me go, they knew that I needed a vacation to myself. They were also happy in some ways that I was leaving. You see, they knew that when I came back from cooking holidays, I would have all-new recipes to cook for them. That was worth not seeing me for a few weeks!

Reasons to Embark in Vegan Cooking

Posted On 2010-11-02 12:12:49 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Reasons to Embark in Vegan Cooking

With so many people around the world looking to embark on a greener lifestyle it is no wonder that the Vegan lifestyle is receiving a large amount of attention lately as well.  From people who are looking to embark in just some minor changes to those who are looking to completely revamp their entire lifestyle.  Regardless of whether you are looking to make a massive change or just a few small differences Vegan cooking can offer a large number of benefits, which helps to ensure that many people start picking up the habits.

Aside from the reality that a Vegan lifestyle is much more green friendly than eating tons of meat it also has a huge benefit of being a much cheaper lifestyle.  Because the majority of the foods that are eaten in a Vegan lifestyle can be grown at home it provides a substantial savings that you would not otherwise be able to realize if you were relying on purchasing the majority of your foods from a grocery store.  By omitting meats from your diet you are not only doing your part to help the environment but with savings in the thousands of dollars possible each year it can be a huge benefit to look towards a Vegan lifestyle.

Other concerns that are important is the ability to avoid chemical treated foods.  Many Vegans opt to grow their own produce, which provides the huge benefit of allowing you to use your own home grown organic foods.  This makes them much cheaper for you, which again can significantly decrease your average grocery bill.  It is still very important to realize that you might need to buy some food items from the store, however you will not need to worry about the items that you do need to purchase as much since the costs will be significantly lower and there are generally less likely to be subject to harmful chemicals.

Many people opt to turn to a Vegan lifestyle due to the health benefits.  It is a proven reality that people who consume large amounts of meat tend to weigh more.  This is a reality that cannot be avoided especially due to the increasingly large number of people around the world who are becoming obese.  By changing to a Vegan lifestyle, it is much easier to lose weight and find a much healthier lifestyle that will benefit your entire family.  In order to really see the benefits of this it is necessary that you take some time to really devote to the Vegan lifestyle to see a real benefit.

There are some studies lately that speculate that Vegan cooking has been linked to also help reduce the occurrence of diabetes as well.  In order to really know if this is true for you it is important to talk to your doctor.  Many people experience huge changes to their blood sugar levels by switching to a Vegan lifestyle, however many others also find that it is increasingly difficult to find a good method of changing their blood sugar levels to reduce the need for additional medication.  If you are looking to reduce your blood sugar levels then it is important to talk to your doctor before making the adjustment.

With any change you might be considering you should always take plenty of time to review your options.  Most people find that the Vegan lifestyle is perfect for their needs without spending months of research however; you should still take at least a bit of time to ensure that this is the right lifestyle for you.  If you are not interested in making a permanent change then you should consider making some small changes and working to tweak each of these changes to your exact lifestyle preference.  You might need to make several changes, but you should be able to settle into a comfortable pattern and lifestyle quite quickly if you devote a bit of time and effort to the process.

Best External Hard Drives

Posted On 2010-10-11 20:56:41 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Although, some people may use externals simply as additional storage space for files they don't want bogging down their PC drives, or transferring files from one computer to another. The best external hard drives range from about $80 to $500, based on storage space and performance.

For those of you that live by the motto, "go big or go home," there are a couple options for you. The CMS Products V2 Desktop Backup System 1TB holds 1 terabyte of storage space, that's 1000 GBs! The CMS external is no featherweight; it weighs in at almost 5 pounds, but PC World gave the storage unit a 100 on performance and it's large storage capacity makes it worth its near $200 price. Its lack of mobility is really the only con.

Western Digital also offers their version of a 1 TB external called My Book, that comes in black or silver; it's less expensive then the CMS drive and lighter. My Book ranges from $120-$160, has MAC and PC versions, and has garnered rave reviews from customers. Most casual PC users will never need 1000 GBs of storage space, so there are other more mobile, and even less expensive options for you.

The Seagate FreeAgent Go external hard drive provides 320 GB of storage, plenty for the average computer user. The FreeAgent Go for PCs is about 2 inches thick, weighs just 9.6 ounces, and ranges from just $70-$90. Seagate also offers a version of the FreeAgent Go for those of us Apple folks. The MAC version is about an inch thicker and costs aroundt $120, but it's touted as being highly energy efficient and it includes a desktop dock for easy set up. The FreeAgent Go for MACs won the MacLife's Editors' Choice Award in December 2008.

The larger external hard drives like the CMS Products V2 Destop and the Western Digital My Book are great buys for those that store a lot of big files, like a lot of professional photography, graphic designs, flash files, web-design, or video. But for the average consumer something smaller that stores 250-400 GB is all you'll really need.

Most of us just use our computers to listen to music, share a few personal photos, and store some of our favorite movies. The best external hard drives for those of us are those offered by Western Digital or the Seagate FreeAgent Go series that hold 250-400 GB. Both companies' provide more than adequate solutions to backing up files or storing stuff that you don't access that often anymore. Although you may not think you need an external hard drive it's a very affordable way to ensure that you'll never lose your most important files and documents.

What Makes Ecommerce Software Bad These 5 Things

Posted On 2010-10-03 21:08:33 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Unquestionably, ecommerce software can really boost your business and your website. However, it can also be a cause for lack of sales and significant loss for you. The software may not really be the one directly responsible, but it could be the bugs in it or the difficulty in using it.

You have to keep in mind that you must always look at the quality of shopping cart application that you are planning to purchase. Listed below are characteristics of shopping cart software of low quality.

1. Difficulty in use. There are carts that are really ineffective because of their not-so-good user interface. It would be difficult for buyers to use it because the controls are not set up properly and it would take time to figure out how to use it. This could cause frustration among your customers and they might go find some other websites.

2. Inconsistency. Good shopping cart software must be consistent in doing its assigned tasks. Also, if there are variations in the way to use it, people might turn away from your website because they would be obligated to learn something again. Your shopping cart website must follow a single theme all throughout your website. This way, buyers would get used to it and if they buy in bulk, then it will become a habit for them.

3. Sensitivity. Some shopping carts cannot withstand doing multiple tasks. You may observe sometimes that your cart is not functioning well in the way you want it to be. This could have been caused by bugs, errors, or viruses. First of all, having any types of bug in your software will not only be detrimental to your website but also your whole computer. Second, since bugs can slow down the process of your cart, you will be giving the impression to your customers that your website is not secure. Any doubt in them can cost you sales. There are software programs that come with their own software cleaners so you might want to check on them.

4. Crashes. You and your customers do not want regular crashes to occur in your shopping cart. You do not want your customer to lose what he/she has been shopping in your website when it will just suddenly shut down. In this instance, you would have lost any potential sale. The experience will also leave the customer dissatisfied and may never go back to your website again.

5. Slow. Some shopping cart applications can take up big space in your memory. Others have useless buttons in them. Others just simply take too long to process. This can waste your customer’s time and you know how frustrating it is. When you buy shopping cart software, test run it first. If you are downloading it from the internet, then you might want to take the trial version first.

Your shopping cart should help your customers and not annoy them. Dissatisfied customers are not a good source of income.

Cancer Prevention and Green Tea Intake

Posted On 2010-10-01 11:45:56 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Cancer Prevention and Green Tea Intake

Green tea drinkers are said to be less susceptible to cancer than non-drinkers. This has already been proven by some clinical studies. You see, green tea is quite popular for many years now. The ancient Chinese are known to drink green tea because of its many health benefits and now, more and more people all over the world are drinking the amazing tea. Cancer rates in countries that consume a large amount of green tea are much lower and that is according to statistics. The polyphenol content of green tea is said to effectively fight cancer cells from developing.  

Animal tests have proven that green tea can help in reducing the formation of certain tumors in the skin, bladder, esophagus, ovary, pancreas, and prostate. The results were due to the antioxidant properties of green tea. EGCG or epigallocatechin is the primary polyphenol which has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Other polyphenols also have the same properties which can prevent skin cancer and even skin tumors.

The growth of cancer cells in the esophagus is also typical but drinking green tea can suppress the growth of such cancer cells. Studies regarding esophageal cancer produced different results. Women tested to drink green tea were protected from esophageal cancer but the other group was susceptible to it. The study concluded and recommended that futher studies should be conducted with regards to esophageal cancer.

The human bladder is another vital organ in the body. Again, researchers are trying to prove if there is a connection between the consumption of tea and bladder cancer. Clinical studies among women proved that bladder cancer was prevented vy drinking gree tea and another clinical study among men with existing bladder cancer had higher chances of survival when green tea was introduced into their diet.

The pancreas can also benefit from the anti-cancer properties of green tea. Both men and women who drank green tea were less prone to pancreatic cancer; however, further studies should be conducted by researchers before they can recommend it for prevention of pancreatic cancer. Then there's the ever increasing number of ovarian cancer patients. Conclusive studies in China among ovarian cancer patients proved quite effective. With one cup green tea everyday, the patients lived longer.

Test tube lab studies also proved that green tea can prevent prostate cancer among men. So far, the studies in different types of cancer gave positive effects when green tea was introduced. by simply increasing the quantity, frequency, as well as the duration of taking the tea, the development of cancer can be prevented.

Cancer has always been a health problem in different age groups. For many years, doctors and researchers have fought against cancer and finally, they came up with an excellent remedy that is not very expensive. So while you're still young and healthy, make sure you drink green tea everyday. Make it a part of your diet, whether you're trying to lose weight or not. There are a lot of  benefits of taking green tea and if you want to achieve a much healthier body, start taking it now. Commercial green tea are widely available, as well as the supplement forms. If you want to take the supplemets, you can ask prescription from your doctor.

Although this may mean additional cost on your part, the money you'll be spending is much lesser than having to go through a cancer medication program. Help fight cancer; drink your green tea everyday. Just in case you want to be extra sure, ask your doctor about the health benefits you can derive from tea and you'll be surprised if your doctor agrees with you in taking green tea.

Greatness on a Cup of Green Tea

For starters, all tea came from the same botanical source and that is camellia sinesis, but the difference is on the processing of the tea leaves, giving each and every type of tea its distinctive aroma, taste and even color, and also its properties. Green tea is steamed and dried thus maintaining its color, chemical properties and natural taste while other types of tea are fermented. Studies proved that green tea had a lighter flavor and aroma compared to that of black tea, which makes all the beneficial chemicals intact, putting greatness to your enjoyable cup of green tea.

How to make a cup of green tea

• Brewing green tea is similar with other tea. Whether it is bagged or loose green tea. It is important to remember not to use boiling water. Brewing with water that's just about to reach its boiling point is the right temperature; this is for the reason that green tea is more delicate than other tea.

• The best tasting green tea is brewed under one minute and let it steep for a short period of time, it is recommended not to prepare it with boiling water and longer time of steeping because it will make the tea bitter to the taste.

• However increased level of polyphenols in green tea is directly proportional with water temperature and time of steeping. It means that the longer time it was brewed under boiling water and the longer it is steeped means a greater concentration of polyphenols on every cup of green tea making it more potent than that of shorter time to brew and steeped. Polyphenols are the anti oxidants found in green tea which contributes to the green teas' medicinal properties.

Suggestions on how to boost antioxidant concentration of your green tea:

• Temperature- studies proved that with the use of boiling water more of the polyphenols, the anti oxidants on green tea is extracted from the tea leaves. The higher the temperature used for brewing tea leaves the greater is the concentration of polyphenols to be found, thus making a more effective tea against diseases and illness.

• Steeping time- in order to attain more of the goodness in a cup of tea, longer steeping time is advised. Longer steeping time allows more polyphenol presence. Tea should be steeped 2 to 5 minutes to allow more polyphenol to emerge. Shorter steeping time means less or the polyphenol and greater caffeine content in your tea.

• Size of tea leaves- the smaller the leaf is, the better, even in size, green tea has proven the power of small things to create wonder. Studies have shown that small loose green tea leaves infuses quickly compared to that of tightly curled and large tea leaf which requires more or longer infusion time.

• Loose leaf versus Tea bags- it is more preferable to use leaves compared to tea bags. By simply allowing the green tea leaves to float on the water more of the polyphenol are being extracted while in order for tea bags to produce this anti oxidant, the tea bags must be continuously dunked in the tea pot.

To this day, green tea has already proved to help cure and protect people against a lot of health problems. In order to attain optimum protection against illness proper nutrition, healthy lifestyle plus a cup of your favorite green tea will do the job.    
Green Tea: Cancer Fighting Miracle Brew?

For thousands of years, the Chinese and the Japanese have long been drinking green tea. It has been attributed for helping fight off different kinds of illnesses as well as help in weight loss, and this brew has also been linked to fighting cancer.

Only recently, green tea has been introduced in the west. And, people love them. Most people say that they never felt healthier in their entire lives, and health buffs even said that this tea is a miracle drink. Ever since then, the entire world is now drinking green tea on a daily basis.

So, is green tea really that wonderful? Does it really fight off cancer?

For starters, green tea has a lot of benefits. The main benefit of this brew is that it has antioxidants which are known to fight off cancer cells. So, to answer the question on whether green tea can prevent cancer, the answer is yes. It gets rid of free radicals from your body which leaves it free from toxins that can contribute to cancer.

This brew is full of the antioxidant called epigallocatechin-3 gallat or what is more known as EGCG. Unlike black tea, green tea is not fermented, which preserves EGCG. Because of this fact, this brew is much more beneficial than black tea and has a more positive effect in fighting diseases, which includes cancer.

You have to remember that when free radicals enter our body, it will have an effect to our cells. If this happens, it will make abnormal cells, which can result in cancerous cells that can reproduce all over your body creating tumors.

Free radicals can enter the body in different ways. It can be because of exposure to cigarette smoke, pollution, and it can even be because of exposure to excessive sunlight.

Whatever it is, it is important that we should get rid of free radicals from our body in order to keep it healthy and cancer free. Although some of the food we eat contains antioxidant, you have to remember that it is not really enough to fight off the amount of free radicals that enter our body. The best way to counter free radicals is by taking in more antioxidants in your body. This is where green tea comes in.

Because green tea has a high concentration of antioxidants, it will be able to fight off free radicals more effectively. With just three to four cups a day, you can be sure that you will be able to keep your body healthy and cancer free.

In fact, green tea is so effective that even the National Cancer Institute conducted studies on this so-called miracle brew and found that it does help in preventing cancer. Today, scientists are now looking at green tea as a key part of creating a cure for cancer. In time, thanks to this century-old brew, we will now see a cancer cure for the very first time.

One study even found that the antioxidants found in green tea was able to shrink tumors and prevented it from reproducing more cancerous cells and growing.

As you can see, green tea does help in preventing cancer. With the scientific studies being done with green tea today, it is only a matter of time that we will be able to see a cure for cancer.

BAKING-POWDER BISCUITS

Posted On 2010-09-30 01:20:15 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

BAKING-POWDER BISCUITS

(Sufficient to Serve Six)

 

2 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

4 tsp. baking powder

2 Tb. fat

3/4 c. milk

 

Mix and sift the flour, salt, and baking powder. Chop the fat into the

dry ingredients until it is in pieces about the size of small peas. Pour

the milk into the dry ingredients, and mix them just enough to take up

the liquid. Make the mixture as moist as possible, and still have it in

good condition to handle. Then sprinkle flour on a molding board, and

lift the dough from the mixing bowl to the board.

 

HOT BREADS

 

Sprinkle flour thinly over the top and pat out the dough until it is

about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter, and place the

biscuits thus cut out on baking sheets or in shallow pans. If a crusty

surface is desired, place the biscuits in the pan so that they are about

an inch apart; but if thick, soft biscuits are preferred, place them so

that the edges touch. Bake 18 to 20 minutes in a hot oven.

 

 

60. EMERGENCY BISCUITS.--As shown in Fig. 12, emergency biscuits

resemble very closely baking-powder biscuits, and so they should,

because the recipe given for baking-powder biscuits may be used for

emergency biscuits by merely adding more milk--just enough to make the

dough a trifle too moist to handle with the hands. When the dough is of

this consistency, drop it by spoonfuls in shallow pans, as in Fig. 13,

or on baking sheets. Then bake the biscuits in a hot oven for 18 to

20 minutes.

 

61. PINWHEEL BISCUITS.--To create variety, a baking-powder biscuit

mixture may be made into pinwheel biscuits, a kind of hot bread that is

always pleasing to children. Such biscuits,  differ from cinnamon rolls only in the leavening agent used, cinnamon rolls being made with yeast and pinwheel biscuits with baking powder.

 

PINWHEEL BISCUITS

(Sufficient to Serve Six)

 

2 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

4 tsp. baking powder

2 Tb. fat f

3/4 c. milk

2 Tb. butter

1/3 c. sugar

1 Tb. cinnamon

3/4 c. chopped raisins

 

To make the dough, combine the ingredients in the same way as for

baking-powder biscuits. Roll it on a well-floured board until it is

about 1/4 inch thick and twice as long as it is wide. Spread the surface

with the 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and

sprinkle them evenly over the buttered surface, and on top of this

sprinkle the chopped raisins. Start with one of the long edges and roll

the dough carefully toward the opposite long edge, as shown in Fig. 15.

Then cut the roll into slices 1 inch thick. Place these slices in a

shallow pan with the cut edges down and the sides touching. Bake in a

hot oven for about 20 minutes.

 

 

62. BEATEN BISCUITS.--A form of hot bread known as beaten biscuits. Such biscuits are used very extensively in the South; in fact, they are usually considered typical of the South. Formerly, all the lightness of beaten biscuits was produced by beating, but as the mixture is made today it may be run through a food chopper a few times before it is beaten. If this is done, the labor of beating is lessened considerably, beating for 15 to 20 minutes being sufficient. When the beating is finished, the texture of the dough should be fine and close and the surface should be smooth and flat.

 

BEATEN BISCUITS

(Sufficient to Serve Twelve)

 

1 qt. pastry flour

1 tsp. salt

1/3 c. fat

1 c. milk or water

 

Sift the flour and salt and chop in the fat. Moisten with the milk or

water and form into a mass. Toss this on a floured board, and beat it

with a rolling pin for 30 minutes, folding the dough over every few

seconds. Roll the dough 1/3 inch in thickness, form the biscuits by

cutting them out with a small round cutter, and prick each one several

times with a fork. Place the biscuits on baking sheets or in shallow

pans, and bake them in a moderate oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

 

 

MISCELLANEOUS HOT-BREAD RECIPES

 

63. SOFT GINGERBREAD.--As a hot bread for breakfast, soft gingerbread

is very satisfactory, and with or without icing it may be served as cake with fruit for luncheon. Sweet milk and baking powder are generally used in gingerbread, but sour milk may be substituted for sweet milk and soda in the proper proportion may be used in place of baking powder. If not too much spice is used in a bread of this kind, it is better for children than rich cake, and, as a rule, they are very fond of it.

 

SOFT GINGERBREAD

(Sufficient for One Medium-Sized Loaf)

 

2 c. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. soda

1/4 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 egg

1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. molasses

1/4 c. butter or other fat

 

Mix the flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt, and spices. Beat the

egg, add the milk and molasses to it, and stir these into the first

mixture. Melt the fat and stir it into the batter. Pour the batter into

a well-greased loaf pan, and bake in a moderate oven for about 35

minutes. If preferred, the mixture may be poured into individual muffin

pans and baked in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes.

 

64. BOSTON BROWN BREAD.--A hot bread that finds favor with most persons

is Boston brown bread.

 

 

HOT BREADS

 

Such bread, instead of being baked in the oven, is steamed for 3-1/2

hours. It may be made plain, according to the accompanying recipe, or,

to give it variety, raisins or currants may be added to it. Boston brown

bread may be steamed in an ordinary coffee can, such as is shown in Fig.

18, in a large baking-powder can, or in a can that is made especially

for this purpose. A regular steaming can for Boston brown bread is, of

course, very convenient, but the other cans mentioned are very

satisfactory. A point to remember in the making of brown bread is that

the time for steaming should never be decreased. Oversteaming will do no

harm, but understeaming is liable to leave an unbaked place through the

center of the loaf.

 

BOSTON BROWN BREAD

(Sufficient for One Medium-Sized Loaf)

 

1 c. white flour

1 c. graham flour

1 c. corn meal

3/4 tsp. soda

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3/4 c. molasses

1-3/4 c. sweet milk

 

Mix and sift the flour, corn meal, soda, baking powder, and salt. Add

the molasses and milk and mix all thoroughly. Grease a can and a cover

that fits the can tightly. Fill the can two-thirds full of the mixture

and cover it. Place it in a steamer and steam for 3-1/2 hours. Dry in a

moderate oven for a few minutes before serving.

 

65. NUT LOAF.--The use of nuts in a hot bread increases the food value

and imparts a very delicious flavor. It is therefore very attractive to

most persons, but it is not a cheap food on account of the usual high

price of nuts. Thin slices of nut bread spread with butter make very

fine sandwiches, which are especially delicious when served with tea.

MINCED LAMB ON TOAST

Posted On 2010-09-24 18:13:07 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

MINCED LAMB ON TOAST.--Any lamb that remains after a meal may be

minced by chopping it fine or putting it through the food chopper. If it

is then heated, moistened well with water or stock, and thickened

slightly, it makes an excellent preparation to serve on toast.

 

After mincing lean pieces of left-over lamb until they are very fine,

put them in a buttered frying pan. Dredge the meat well with flour and

allow it to brown slightly. Add enough water or stock to moisten well.

Season with salt and pepper, cook until the flour has thickened, and

then serve on toast.

 

42. SCALLOPED LAMB OR MUTTON.--As a scalloped dish is usually pleasing

to most persons, the accompanying recipe for scalloped lamb or mutton

will undoubtedly find favor. Both macaroni and tomatoes are combined

with the meat in this dish, but rice could be substituted for the

macaroni, if desired.

 

To make scalloped lamb or mutton, arrange a layer of buttered crumbs in

a baking dish, and on top of them place a layer of cooked macaroni, a

layer of meat, and then another layer of macaroni. Over this pour enough

stewed tomato to moisten the whole well. Season each layer with salt,

pepper, and butter. Over the top, place a layer of buttered crumbs. Bake

in a medium-hot oven until the whole is thoroughly heated.

 

43. SPANISH STEW.--Left-over pieces of mutton or lamb may also form the

foundation of a very appetizing dish known as Spanish stew. Here

tomatoes are also used, and to give the stew flavor chilli sauce

is added.

 

SPANISH STEW

(Sufficient to Serve Six)

 

2 Tb. butter.

1 onion, sliced

1 Tb. flour

2 c. lamb or mutton, diced

1-1/2 c. stewed tomatoes

1 c. stock or gravy

1 Tb. chilli sauce

1 red pepper, cut fine

2 tsp. salt

 

Put the butter in a frying pan and brown the sliced onion in it. Add the

flour and meat, and after browning them pour in the stewed tomatoes and

the stock or gravy. Season with the chilli sauce, the red pepper, and

the salt. Cover and let simmer until the whole is well thickened

and blended.

 

44. INDIVIDUAL LAMB PIES.--Individual pies are always welcome, but when

they are made of lamb or mutton they are especially attractive. The

proportions required for pies of this kind are given in the

accompanying recipe.

CHOCOLATE ICING

If chocolate icing is desired, a square of melted chocolate may be added
to the icing given in the preceding recipe after the sirup has been
added to the egg white.

BROWN-SUGAR BOILED ICING

1-1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1/3 c. water
2 egg whites
Pinch of cream of tartar

Boil the sugar and the water until it threads or forms a fairly hard
ball when tried in cold water.

Beat the egg whites until stiff, adding a pinch of cream of tartar while
beating. Pour the hot sirup over the egg whites and continue beating.
Flavor with vanilla if desired. Beat until stiff enough to spread and,
if desired, cook over boiling water as described for boiled white icing.

TIME-SAVING ICING

7/8 c. granulated sugar
3 Tb. water
1 egg white

Put the sugar, water, and egg white into the upper part of a small
double boiler. Have the water in the lower part boiling rapidly. Set
the part containing the ingredients in place and beat constantly for 7
minutes with a rotary egg beater, when a cooked frosting that will
remain in place will be ready for use. The water in the lower receptacle
must be boiling rapidly throughout the 7 minutes.


CAKE FILLINGS

93. As already explained, any icing used for the top of the cake may
also be used for the filling that is put between the layers, but often,
to obtain variety, an entirely different mixture is used for this
purpose. A number of recipes for cake fillings are here given, and from
these the housewife can select the one that seems best suited to the
cake with which it is to be used. As will be noted, many of them are
similar to custard mixtures, and these, in addition to being used for
cakes, may be used for filling cream puffs and eclairs. Others contain
fruit, or nuts, or both, while still others resemble icing, with the
exception of being softer. No difficulty will be experienced in making
any of these fillings if the directions are carefully followed. They
should be applied to the cake in the same way as icings.

FRENCH FILLING

2 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract

Heat the milk to scalding in a double boiler. Mix the sugar, flour, and
salt. Pour the hot milk over this, and stir rapidly to prevent the
formation of lumps. Return to the double boiler and cook for 15 to 20
minutes. Beat the eggs slightly and add them to the mixture. Cook for 5
minutes longer. Add the flavoring, cool, and place between layers of
cake or use for filling cream puffs or eclairs. Half of the recipe will
be sufficient for cake filling.

CHOCOLATE FILLING

If chocolate filling is desired, melt 1-1/2 squares of chocolate and add
to the French filling while it is hot.

COFFEE FILLING

A very good coffee filling may be made by scalding 2 tablespoonfuls of
coffee with the milk, straining to remove the grounds, and then adding
to French filling for flavoring.

FRUIT CREAM FILLING

2/3 c. heavy cream
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. crushed raspberries, strawberries, peaches,
         or any desirable fresh fruit

Whip the cream until stiff, add the sugar, and fold in the crushed
fruit. Place between layers of cake.

RAISIN-AND-NUT FILLING

1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. water
1/2 c. raisins
1/4 c. chopped nuts

Boil the sugar and water until they form a firm ball when tried in cold
water. Chop the raisins and nuts and add them to the sirup. Cook until
stiff enough not to run, and place between layers of cake.

Kids Camping Gear

Posted On 2010-09-13 00:53:33 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

Planning a camping trip with your family is an ideal way to build a closer family bond, and will help to establish a good relationship between parent and child. With the right equipment and extra planning a family camping trip can become a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

When selecting and shopping for camping gear, you should consider purchasing camping gear for the children. This will make it easier and more enjoyable for the children and make them feel more independent. Kids camping gear can be found at any local sporting goods store, or a department store. There are several kids camping gear that you can purchase, which include tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, clothing, and other camping gear that is suitable for children. By purchasing kids camping gear, you will make the children feel more independent because they now have their own gear.

Once you have the kids camping gear purchased and sorted out, you should then think ahead and start planning the camping trip. Whenever children are coming along on a camping trip you should always plan on camping in an area where there are several activities that the children can enjoy. Camping with children can become more enjoyable when they bring along playmates. Two or more children can entertain themselves much longer than a single child can. Bringing along games to play can also make the camping experience a lot more enjoyable.

Aside from purchasing kids camping gear and ensuring that they are entertained, you must also think of way to ensure the safety of your children. By equipping them with the proper gear and safety tips you will have a piece of mind. Teach your children to stay within eyesight, or if they are older to teach them to stay within earshot. You should also teach them to stay where they are if ever they are lost. If your child is over the age of 4, they are old enough to be given a whistle that they can wear around their neck and be taught to blow the whistle if ever they are in danger or lost. You should also provide each child with their own flashlight, as they will feel more at ease at night. Layering your children with clothing is another great idea as children get colder faster than adults, and if ever they become too hot they can always remove an item of clothing.

COFFEE JELLY.

Posted On 2010-09-12 22:31:23 in เรื่องทั่วๆ ไป

COFFEE JELLY.--If fruit juices are difficult to obtain, coffee
jelly, which will be found to be very pleasing, may be used
occasionally. However, it is necessary that whipped cream be served with
coffee jelly in order to make it a really delightful dessert.

COFFEE JELLY
(Sufficient to Serve Six)

2 c. clear, strong coffee
1/2 oz. or 2-1/4 Tb. unflavored gelatine
1/2 c. cold water
1 c. boiling water
Three-quarters c. sugar

Prepare the coffee freshly and make it stronger than that which would
ordinarily be used for the table. Be sure that it contains no grounds.
Soak the gelatine in the cold water, and dissolve in the boiling water.
Add the sugar and coffee. Pour into moistened molds and allow to cool.
Serve with sweetened whipped cream.

49. FRUIT GELATINE.--Almost any combination of fruit juices, as well as
any single fruit juice, may be used with gelatine in the making of fruit
gelatine. The accompanying recipe contains fruits that may be used, but
other fruits than those given may perhaps be found to be even more
agreeable.

FRUIT GELATINE
(Sufficient to Serve Six)

1/44 oz. or 1-1/8 Tb. unflavored gelatine
1/4 c. cold water
1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. pineapple juice
1/4 c. orange juice
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 slices pineapple
2 oranges
1 banana
6 English walnuts

Moisten the gelatine in the cold water and dissolve in the boiling
water. Add the sugar and the orange, pineapple, and lemon juice, and
allow this to cool. Dice the pineapple. Prepare the oranges by peeling
them, removing the pulp from the sections, and cutting it into small
pieces. Slice or dice the banana and break each nut into six or eight
pieces. Mix the fruits and nuts, place in a mold that has been moistened
with cold water, and pour the cold jelly over them. Allow this to
solidify, turn from the mold, and serve with whipped cream.

50. LEMON SNOW.--If a light, spongy dessert to serve with a heavy dinner
is desired, lemon snow should be tried. It may be made with other
sour-fruit juice and is particularly agreeable if the color of the fruit
juice used is a pretty one. Fruit coloring may be used in the
preparation of dishes of this sort if desired.

LEMON SNOW
(Sufficient to Serve Six)

1/2 oz. or 2-1/4 Tb. unflavored gelatine
1/2 c. cold water
1-1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. lemon juice
Whites of two eggs

Soak the gelatine in the cold water, dissolve it in the boiling water,
and add the sugar. When cold, add the strained lemon juice. When the
gelatine mixture is just beginning to solidify, add the egg whites,
beating with a rotary beater until the mixture begins to hold its shape.
If desired, a fruit of some kind may be placed in a mold that has been
moistened with cold water and the mixture poured over it, or the plain
mixture may be poured into the mold without the fruit. Whipped cream or
custard sauce improves this dessert to a large extent.
