Rice is one of the most compatible and versatile foods. These grains which are a good source of protein from a rice grass which originated from semi-aquatic grass in Asia is now the staple of about 70% of the world’s population. America now provides about 12% of world rice trade. And I glad that we can buy rice here from some supermarkets and especially in all Asian stores. Nuts, seeds, beans or meat are good sources of protein but it is best if combined with rice. I love American food but I can’t eat in one day without rice. That is when I feel full.

I was watching a series last night about traditional food and cooking. I was reminded of the special characteristic of foods that we prepare, the effects to those who eat them.

One ingredient has many elements.
If mixed with a certain thing it may bring out the best effect, but sometimes it may cause harm and cannot be mixed with certain ingredients. That is the special characteristic of food.

Just like for example, in order to remove the odor of the pork, clover flower bud is added, but if it is added to turmeric herbal soup, if will cause diarrhoea and vomiting.

Wherever I go I would look upon different digital signage that are installed in public spaces because they are are entertaining with the beautiful different displays and animations, and especially, they are informative. I can see what’s new in products and services that I might not have seen elsewhere, and the extent to which the information are provided influence much on my shopping. In public places as in the plaza, trade show floor or campuses, or in conferences, the better they are, the more better the prospective customer experience and more effective is the marketing, because who would not be convinced by pretty visuals and audio? I found a website that has all the high-tech digital signage that are also designed…

A lesson from the world’s oldest man.
The world’s oldest living male recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007 is celebrating his birthday this day, adding another year to his full 112 years. He is now 113 years old. We know that the Japanese are among the world’s longest living people, but what are they’re ‘secrets’ to long life? It is not a secret at all. Tomoji Tanabe believes that the key to longevity is eating naturally healthy foods, a lot of vegetables and sea food. It reminds me the old age verse about vegetables. He ruled out alcohol drinking. He drinks milk everyday. His discipline made him so healthy that at 113 years of age, he has…

I remember that long time ago one of my uncles was stung by some kind of a bee. His whole face was swollen. Before we get to that size, here is what we should do to sidestep it:

As soon as you feel the bite, pull out the stinger using your thumb and forefinger, because the longer it stays on your skin, more inflammation and more pain will occur. If it has fully penetrated, beneath the skin, you can just leave it alone because it will eventually work its way out. Apply an ice pack to reduce the sweeling, and take an over-the-counter histamine, like Benadryl, and don’t forget, toothpastes dries out the venom concentrated under the sting area.

Recreation and relaxation, we deserve that from time to time, that is why it is good to have vacations for families and ourselves. We have not been yet there so I am just curious to see for myself why the city is famous around the world and take Vegas vacations for few days and few nights. The Vegas vacation store has the tickets, hotels and specials that we need. It is not all expensive there. We just find the right store.

It is in fact great to have good and fresh views in our desktops when we open it. I found some nice gardening wallpapers online at fine gardening, a collection of plants and herbs even lovely photos of flowers for the eyes to feast upon. I am using one now, it is a magnolia flower.

Do you know why the lovely carpels of Magnolia flowers are tough? It is their defense mechanism, to avoid damage by eating and crawling beetles. This flowering tree genus is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol. Magnolias are used as Chinese medicine for 5,000 years to fight cancer, heart disease and dementia? The bark, which is aromatic, contains magnolol and honokiol, two polyphenolic compounds that have…

It is so nice to make our own garden, flowers, vegetables and herbs. Herbs are ideal to be grown in small containers and near the kitchen for ease of access. We can even put the containers on the window sill for decorative purposes also. We have been planning about nicer garden, and efficient one making maximum use of space. Hydroponics and square foot gardening when the greenhouse will be built.

And it pays in the with free plants, veggies and flowers in our reach. Here is a very nice video I found today about…
