Ginger Snack



    Ginger needs no introduction to Asians, it can be condsidered as one of 'The Ancient Chinese Secret' for it's Medicinal Properties.  To those who do not cook or use as much Ginger and would like to know more about it, this is worth reading The Epicentre - Ginger

    I grew up with these type of dried, cured snacks and ginger is still my favorite.   

    In my younger years, these snacks will be sold only at the corner stall but now, there is a whole shop selling all sorts of which the choice is endless,  some of them are not even recognizable as to what fruit or vegetable they are made from but they all tasted so good.  I don't know why we as kids could not come up with nicer names for these snacks but always associated them with something unpleasant.  I am sure many will know - Yeong mare see or Ngau see thoi which is in cantonese and for those who don't understand cantonese, you won't want to know.
    Ginger snacks come in different tastes, there is a sweet or a salty type and both of these types will be colored red,  They will be in bits or chunks and slices are normally soaked in vinegared syrup, like the ones served with Sushi.  This Ginger snack which i made is from very thin slices and it is easy, so give this recipe a try.

     
     

    Ingredients:
     
    Fresh ginger preferably younger ones - they are less spicy
    1 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
    More sugar for coating
     
    Method:
     
    Scrape the skin off the ginger knobs and slice thinly using the mandoline.
     
    Cook sugar and water until sugar dissolves.
     
    Add in the ginger slices and cook for a minute or two.  The longer you cook the ginger slices, the less spicy they will be.
     
    Remove ginger slices from the syrup and drain. The syrup can be diluted with iced/warm water to make a delicious drink or added to your cup of tea.
     
    Coat the ginger slices in sugar and lay them in single layer on a cake rack and put to dry in the sun.
     
    When dried, ginger slices are ready to be enjoyed.
     
    Store in air-tight container.

Engagement story

    We got engaged in New York. He was there on business and I'd joined him there for the weekend. Whilst he was in meetings, I was busy popping into all the expensive jewellery stores on Fifth Avenue, looking for the ring (I wasn't going to let him choose!). That was so much fun.


    I knew it was going to be Tiffany's, though. Walking into their flagship store was an experience in itself and upstairs where all the engagement rings are (or were, at least), I even saw (a) Holly Golightly! Seriously.


    I chose two rings and 'reserved' them. The sales assistant was polite but not super friendly or anything. He did ask for my boyfriend / fiancé's name before I left.

    And the next day, we walked in. He recognised me, then looked at my fiancé. He suddenly became the most charming person ever. With a big smile, he walked over to meet us and addressed my fiancé by name. Maybe I should have been offended by this transformation but I was too amazed and impressed!


    Another funny thing I remember is that every time we wanted to look at a ring by the big window (different lighting), the sales assistant had to 'inform' the bodyguard. Yes, there was a bodyguard standing by the window! Did they think we were going to jump out of the window with the ring?! 

    Now tell me your story! Did you know he was going to propose? Did you choose the ring with him? 
    Or how do you want it to be?

Friendship Day sms,Quotes,Gift,

    Celebrate Friendship Day 2010 on August 1, Sunday

    Friendship Day
    celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The tradition of dedicating a day in honor of friends began in US in 1935. Gradually the festival gained popularity and today Friendship Day is celebrated in large number of countries including India. On this day people spend time with their friends and express love for them. Exchange of Friendship Day Gifts like flowers, cards and wrist bands is a popular tradition of this occasion.

    Actually International Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August Or August 3rd of every year.

    Sometimes, I forget to say hi,
    Sometimes, I even miss to reply,
    Sometimes, my msg doesn’t reach u,
    But, it doesn’t mean that I forget u,
    I’m just giving u time to miss me!

    Feel good when somebody Miss u. Feel better when somebody Loves u. But feel best when somebody never 4gets us.

    Stars have 5ends, squares have4 ends, triangles have3 ends, lines have2 ends, life has1 end, but i hope r friendship has no end.

    If u r a chocolate ur the sweetest, if u r a Teddy Bear u r the most huggable, If u r a Star u r the Brightest, and since u r my “FRIEND” u r the “BEST”!!!!!!!!!

    Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver the other gold.

    1 tree can start a forest, one smile can start a friendship. 1 touch can show u care, one friend can make life worth living 4.

    There is a big difference between friendship and a rose… Roses last only a while … but friendship is for ever...

    Side by side or miles apart, dear friends r always close 2 the heart.

    I always thought loving someone is the greatest feeling, but I realized that loving a friend is even better. We lose people we love, but v never lose true friends.

    Time & distance are important between friends. When a friend is in ur heart, they remain there forever. I may be busy, but I assure u, u are always in my heart!

    A friend is a push when you have stopped, a chat when u r lonely, a guide when u r searching, a smile when u r sad, a song when u r glad.

Say cheese!


    I am seriously addicted to Parmesan!

    I can't seem to live without it these days. I use it in salads, soups, pasta and risotto dishes obviously, and fish for (I think) the first time last night (it was a Jamie Oliver recipe). The official website says Parmesan is perfect as a starter, main and dessert! (See their serving suggestions here.)


    Dessert? Yes, apparently you can have parmesan with fruit. Have you tried it? I'm not too sure about this.


    But what I'm even more unsure about is parmesan ice cream. What do you think?!

Ginger Milk Curd

    I have heard of this Ginger Milk Curd but did not have a chance to taste it until i managed to buy a ready mixed in the asian store here.  It was so easy to make, like making a cup of 3 in 1 coffee and i like the texture and taste very much.  In fact i love anything that has ginger.  Ginger has been my savior when digestion is concerned.  It has helped to rid of the huge bubble of gas build-up which has caused me alot of pain.  I decided to make this curd from scratch and after going through many recipes and know how from the net,  went ahead to make one bowl for myself.  At first, i doubted that it will set, how can just ginger juice and milk set? but it did.  The crucial part in this recipe is to have the milk in the correct temperature - 176f  - 165 f. This recipe is only for 1 small bowl, double or triple if you have to.

    Ingredients:

    150 ml whole milk
    1 tbsp ginger juice
    1 tsp sugar/sugar substitute


    Method:



    Grate ginger with a microplane grater and squeeze the juice through a strainer.  Measure 1 tbsp and leave in a small bowl.

    Measure 150 ml of whole milk and add in 1 tsp of sugar or sugar substitute.

    Microwave on high for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes to obtain the temperature of 176f - 186f.  Cooking time differs as microwave oven differs in wattage - know your microwave wattage.

    Stir the ginger juice, then pour the hot milk into the ginger juice and allow it to set.  Curd should set in 10 minutes.  A spoon rested on top of curd will not sink, then you know that the curd has set.

    ENJOY

Beauty sleep is not a myth

    Now I have another good reason to dislike those people from last week: not only did they damage my new car, they robbed me of my beauty sleep!

    "Beauty sleep is not a myth and sleep does lessen the severity of wrinkles in the face and neck, at least temporarily. This period of deep sleep... contributes to what people call "beauty sleep" as secretion of growth hormone helps repair and rebuild body tissues like muscle and bone. It is not just lack of sleep that negatively affects body fat percentage and the risk of chronic disease—poor sleep quality does as well.(source

    I've talked about the Sleep Cycle app on my iPhone before (here and here). I looked back at my sleeping patterns following the accident (story here) and sure enough, I've been sleeping poorly.

    To set the scene: the night before, I slept like a baby. Perfect beauty sleep.


    Then the incident. I was really upset and couldn't sleep.


    Next night: exhausted. I went to bed just after 9pm. I thought I slept ok. But I seem to have spent quite a few of those hours 'awake'.


    After that: even worse. Not much (deep) sleep at all.


    I hope you are getting enough beauty sleep!Source URL: http://itistheforkhead.blogspot.com/2010/07/
