Perennials , Healthy Cooking, Feng Shui

Posted by PaPaGrizz On September - 26 - 2008

I always wanted to be a perfect buddy for my wife and children so I always search for things that I can do at home to make them happy. Just recently I searched for ideas in the Internet to improve our garden, to learn new recipes and cooking tips and of course to learn some about home fortune-- feng shui.

At first, I did not know any specific url for these topics but one friend has told me that I could use search engines like google. So I did.

effective gardening tips
I first searched for topics about gardening so I typed keyword phrases like “landscaping”. Fortunately, I found useful information which can really help me to improve my performance. I retrieved information like this one below:

“What you prefer to eat and also accessible space that you have for fall gardening are the determiners for the crops you'll have to plant; it is actually not unusual from spring planting. Embellishing your garden will obviously make it a lot more charming as well as the first of it's kind; it is a judicious way of giving it a unique touch, a sort of mark that distinguishes it as your own unique work. Insects often put their concentration on insalubrious plants so gardeners ought to work on developing healthy plants that can get over slight insect spoilage . Your need to find out all you can about back ache and also the several solutions can be fulfilled on the Internet where you can access several web pages that offer elaborate and also full clues about it.”

cooking guide
The next thing I did is to find topics about cooking so I inputted keywords like “cooking information”. And yes! I found topics like the following:

“Healthy cooking begins with being health conscientious. Eating healthy does not mean giving up on your favorite foods. In fact it opens up a whole new range of flavors and textures for your eating pleasure.Keep the fats in take at low level You can do this by buying lean meat cuts; choosing skinless chicken breast. To really make it sure of taking low fat, you can eat more on fish because this is high in protein. Remember this healthy cooking information- low fats and substanced with omega 3 fatty acids for a healthier body. “

feng shui color design
Lastly, I typed keyword phrases like “Feng Shui Bedroom Tips” because I wanted to know more about this eastern form of fortune acquisition. I have searched this one:

“The feng shui home is a home in balance. The chi is allowed to flow from room to room without being hendered by obstacles. Those obstacles can be furniture that people can trip over, like the ottoman that Dick Van Dyke used to trip over in the introduction to the Dick Van Dyke show, or it can be doors that stop the energy from flowing. The older homes had a habit of boxing up rooms with internal doors that stopped the energy from flowing. Since the word "feng shui" means "wind" and "water," these are the elements that help a person feng shui their home. Wind is movement and water is cooling comfort. Add these two ideas to your home and you have a comfortable home.”

Well, with these new knowledge I have learned, for sure these will help me to become a home buddy that every family desires.

Marshmallow Cream Fudge

Posted by PaPaGrizz On September - 3 - 2008

This is an easy recipe I got from my future mother in law. It is so yummy, you can't just eat one piece!!

Are you ready? Cause here we go...

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 jar (10oz) marshmallow cream - 1 1/2 cups sugar - 2/3 cups (5oz) evaporated milk - 1/4 cup butter - 1/4 tsp salt.

Now here is the extremely important part. If you do not follow this to the "T" you will either have fudge that is hard and crumbly or you will be able to eat it with a spoon (like my mom used to make...lol - luv ya Ma)!

Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly over moderate heat for 5 minutes, no more, no less. That's where a timer is very handy...

Remove from heat and then add - one 12oz package of chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Add 1 tsp vanilla and stir. Nuts are optional, but not in this house, so I add 3/4-1 cup chopped walmuts and stir 'em up.

Pour your mixture into a greased 8" square pan and smooth around. Let cool until firm. Cut into squares. Makes about 2 1/4 pounds of yummy straight to your hiney goodness!

Now, if it dosen't turn out right, eat what is in the pan and start over!!

Enjoy
