5th Percentile? Ouch.
After nails I head over to the memory center. This is a secure area. The residents have memory issues, and if they were to get out of their residential area, they wouldn't know how to get back home. You wouldn't know it working with them though. They are the happiest, most jovial group. I join in the circle group of sitter-cise. It's exercises from a sitting position. We throw balls back and fourth, and play with a parachute. It's a lot of fun. They loved my purple ruffled ballet flats, and gave me a round of applause when I finally on the third go-around, remembered all of their names. Wow. A round of applause!?! I haven't had that happen in I don't even know how long. What an ego boost!
I had to warn Danny that there's a gentleman, Marv, in the memory care that's going to give Danny a run for his money. He's absolutely adorable, and even though he remembered my name, I kept forgetting his. He just smiled and said, "It's okay honey, it's a hard name." But the thing is, it's not a hard name! I've been visualizing all of their faces and one by one memorizing their names. I'm determined to call them by their first names next week. It'll be interesting to see if they remember me. This is such great practice! Seriously.
The other day my mom asked me to get the full file from UW so that we can read everything they've documented about my case. I just finished reviewing a report from my speech therapist, and I'm not going to lie, it hurt to read. I think I'm done looking into my file for a bit. According to my speech therapist's notes, "Reading - Assessed reading speed on Nelson-Denny Reading test for both reading aloud and to herself, her scale score was 175 and reading aloud 171 (both at the 5th percentile for her education level)." Ouch!
Before my brain surgeries, I was a smart girl. I was an A/B student. Especially in English courses in high school and college, I was at the top tier of the class. How ironic that I now have difficulties in the exact areas where I used to excel. The 5th percentile? The speech therapist never said that to me, which is probably good. That would have broken my heart. Now, it's just sad. I'm improving little by little, which is great and I'm so grateful, but my deficits still shock me. I'll bet it shocks those around me as well. I can type pretty well on the blog. I'm good at articulating how I feel, or what's going on around me. At least I have that. I can and do read, but the comprehension is pretty poor. I still enjoy reading though. I don't think you have to retain stuff to enjoy it in the moment :)

Statistics and percentiles are just that, scientific measurements. You are SO far above that diagnosis as a talented writer,determined achiever, and special lady!!! Your Mom is right- you are smart in the way smart really counts! And I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your time at the retirement center. You are a blessing to all of us Jess!!!ReplyDelete

I have been reading your blog for a while now. I heard about you from a friend who lives in Friday Harbor. You are an inspiration ! The talent you have in describing your life in words is so incredible. Doctors don't know everything. In 1997 (long long story) we found out that my husband had a tumor on his brain stem, given pretty much "no hope" He is a miracle & well today :-) You & your family are in our prayers.

Maybe they meant you were at the top 5%! Truly, you are amazing person, and an inspiration to all of us. Your smile lights up the world. Big hug! DebbieReplyDelete
Jessica - I actually cried as I read your post. You are such a GIFT! As someone whose mother was in a "memory center" as you called it (I always knew it as the dementia ward and I like your name much better) - I can't TELL you what a treat it was for everyone there to have interaction with people like you! Your spirit, energy, bright smile, and engaging wit DEEPLY impact everyone there...including family members like me! I can't even explain to you how happy it made me to see my Mom's nails painted when we would visit each Saturday morning and to think about her getting pampered at that point in her life...well...it is meaningful beyond measure.ReplyDelete
You are one special person.

I have a friend who is really, really smart; straight A student. But she has no, or very little, common sense. How can a straight A student be so dumb as to not have "common" sense. And the choices the person has made in relationships--like taking the person to the cleaners, well it makes no sense to me. You are articulate and smart. If you were not you wouldn't have started nor keep this interesting EDUCATIONAL blog going. That 5% thing is like a wasp landing on your shoulder: flick it off and keep on doing all the good things you do for you, Danny, the rest of your family and friends and readers.ReplyDelete

Well Jess, you still write better than I do so what's my excuse huh? Try not to worry about statistics and concentrate on those french tips...wow, good luck with that. ;)ReplyDelete

THE non-THINKing TANK
Saturday, May 01, 2010
Well, guys, this isn't good news at all. However, I thought I would share 'cause it's important. I have gained almost 20 pounds in about 5 months. In January, I quit the Weight Watcher-ing, and I started writing stuff down again a few weeks ago after taking a couple months off completely. I don't really know what to say about it. I don't wanna go back to WW. I guess that can be my motivation. Or maybe I should start training for next year's Fun Run. I dunno, but I gotta go get ready for the trail ride. Surely do hope the rain holds off!

But, above all, they existed – I relish that elegiac note. Perhaps Wood's profoundest contribution to literary theory is his idea that "To notice is to rescue, to redeem; to save life from itself" ("Serious Noticing," included in The Nearest Thing to Life). As Wood makes clear, Levi is one of literature's great rescuers.
Postscript: This week's issue contains three terrific Talk stories: Andrew Marantz's "Paint Job" ("He uses Rust-Oleum paint, mostly five colors – black, white, red, blue, green – that are available at Bruno's Hardware Center, on Court Street"); Emma Allen's "Big Silky" ("She stepped outside to call Bruce Cost, of artisanal-ginger-ale fame, for black-chicken advice"); Jonathan Blitzer's "Drive-By" ["He taught Chris Penn how to drive stick in 'The Funeral' ('37 LaSalle), and he drove Chloë Sevigny around in 'The Last Days of Disco' ('75 Checker Cab)"].

'No thanks, aunty. I'm on a diet,' said a sixteen-year-old family friend of mine, who seemed to be perfectly fit and healthy. 'How do I calculate my body-mass index and at the age of fourteen, how much should I be ideally eating?' a girl asks a dietician. Honestly, I have nothing against kids, teenagers wanting to know about their bodies but this obsession with dieting (crash dieting) and, frankly, being skinny, that's gets to me. So today, it's time for an honest – once-a-teen (that's me) and a teenager (you) – chat.

Fit or Fat

Being overweight is not ideal. That's the simple straight truth. But why? Appearances aside, you miss out on the pleasures of being fit. If your body is fit, there is so much you can do. Running up a flight of stairs won't tire you, walking your dog will be a treat and not a punishment and most of all, your mind will be fit too –alert and attentive. The golden rule: eat what you want as long as you exercise. Be healthy, be fit for your own benefit, not for how you will look (though that is a strong and imperative incentive).

You Are Beautiful

One of my favourite songs is 'The Sunscreen'. It has a line which goes like this: 'Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.'

You know, you don't have to be a size zero just because that's what they show you on TV and because everyone says you should be and all the girls in your class seem to be. Don't fall for this trap. These days, every girl seems to look the same, wears the same kind of clothes, carries the same cell phone and it goes on and on. Be yourself, be beautiful.

Food Is Good

It's so good! I know someone who has been on a diet for so long, that she is perpetually irritable and not very pleasant to be around. For god's sake, eat if you want to. If you think you don't need to eat something, don't, but be wise about it. Crash diets don't work … hello, they're called 'crash' diets. You can't be hostile towards food, instead, be friendly with exercising.

LOVE FOOD + LOVE EXERCISE = FIT BODY and ALERT MIND

You Are Not Your Body

Our self-image is so closely linked to our bodies. This is true in our teenage more than any other time of our lives. 'You look great today,' someone says to us and we are happy the rest of the day. And the day you over eat – god, how terrible you feel about yourself. It's natural to feel these things but so very important to know that you are so much more than what you see in the mirror. Or what others see when they see you.

Your Body is Your Best Instrument

Ah, another great line from my favourite song: 'Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.'<o:p></o:p>

There is a reason why you are in this body of yours. Use it well. Give it a purpose, a direction. Your body is your instrument to help you realize your true potential, your greatness (and this is why you should be fit). You have a dream of, say, starting your own line of clothes and accessories. If you are unfit, you really can't work beyond a few hours a day because your body gets tired and so does your mind. With an unhealthy body comes a lethargic mind. <o:p></o:p>

Let me leave you with a promise that you must make to yourself:<o:p></o:p>

I will be healthy, happy and wise.<o:p></o:p>

I will not let anyone or anything make me believe I am ugly.<o:p></o:p>

I will be the best version of myself.<o:p></o:p>

I will use my body well, but not confuse myself with my body.<o:p></o:p>

On that note, let's eat!<o:p></o:p>

Try this fantastic recipe for a scrumptious pineapple upside-down cake that's eggless. Yes, EGGLESS! I've tried it and it turned out fab. My mom's been asking me to bake this ever since. The delish caramel topping really lifts the cake and takes it to a whole knew level. I added some pineapple essence to give it more of an edge even though the recipe doesn't say so. Even added chunks of pineapple in the batter. I never thought I'd like a pineapple cake but ... Doesn't it look great?

:( With my head hanging in shame, I mournfully type this post. After nine days of success, yesterday I failed.

The story of my failure, I shall narrate in detail as promised.

The day had started off well, as I slept soundly till late, blissfully unaware of how despite of having built up a strangely comforting amount of will power over the last few days, life would play a cruel joke on me.

Location: Fiance's house
Occasion: Lunch

Need I say more? Yes, maybe one last detail is required. We are Punjabis.

Hona kya tha, doston. I had foreseen that this day would be a test, and I was up for it. I had prepared myself mentally, researched the best ways to decline offers -- polite, yet firm no's. I had even baked brownies and not tasted any, even though I kind of knew I was entering dangerous territory by carrying along dessert. I knew the dangers well beforehand -- 'chalo, jo brownies khud laye ho, woh toh khao!' -- and how suspicious it would seem if I didn't eat what I have baked and forced them to!

But the truth iiiis, I held my ground with those brownies too ... they were not what failed me. It went something like this:

We had finished lunch -- yum dal makhani, shahi paneer and naan -- and I knew the moment of truth was close. At first was unveiled a box of mithai or sweetmeat (yes, I want to believe I am catering to an international audience, hence the translation). It was offered. I revealed my first play: 'Nai, Mummy, abhi nai. Bohot khaa liya. Thodi der mein.' (No, Mom, not yet. Have eaten too much. Maybe in a while.) Luckily, my in-laws aren't too persistant, and so I was saved.

I thought I had dodged the bullet till a while later when little Mehar (my 3 year old niece), wanted to cut the brownies her new chachi had got and get everyone to taste. Luckily, once they were cut, Mehar enjoyed her piece too much to share it with me. God bless that little greedy child :) Just when I thought I got away, Bhabhi was upon me, 'it's really nice, have some!' Play number two: 'No, no, this is for you! I am glad you liked it...I am still too full.' Phew.

Friends, I thought I was in the clear by now. And I am sure you are wondering how could I have possibly cheated. But this is a Punjabi household. There's mithai, there's cake and there's ice cream always in the fridge. After another hour of chatting up. Mom-in-law entered with ouce cream and now I had no excuse. It had been an hour since lunch and I could not have said, 'too full'. And a third time is hard to decline, no? In-laws or no in laws? :P

But I still had hope. My beautiful fiance had not taken his bowl of ice cream and the plan was to sneakily hand over my bowl to him -- something we do often whenever I go to his house (prone to being overfed, what can I say). But that sneaky little munchkin of mine bailed on me! Can you believe it! Looked straight into my eyes and gave me a devious smile! Oh he knew what he was doing!

So that's it guys. Two tablespoons of ice cream were in. Just when I was evaluating reasons as to why I was marrying the betrayer, he took the rest from me and all was 'sweet' again.

The End

P.S.: yes, yes. Date's been extended. Now no meetha till 23 July. Bleh.

Hello, y'all!
I've been really feeding my sweet tooth big time the past few days... (alright, maybe a week...or two) and I have been forced to make a decision by this nagging, annoying voice in my head (and maybe one in my house :P) to take charge. And what better way to do anything but by making it into a game!

So here's the deal: I attempt the IMPOSSIBLE.
THIRTY DAYS WITHOUT DESSERT. (I am having trouble even typing that straight. *gulp gulp*)

I have been having ice-cream cravings this summer, but we've got to beat it and find another way to beat the heat. Here are the rules to begin with:

1. Thirty days starting tomorrow morning (that's right, load up on all the munchies now :P) Hence the duration of the challenge is June 22nd to July 22nd.

2. No dessert means no sweet dish. However, sugar in beverages is allowed.

3. Fruit does not qualify as dessert, hence is allowed.

4. Each passing day will be blogged to record the effects of dessertless-ness.

5. Punishment for any deviation requires a full-scale confession on blog and encourages scolding-via-comment from readers.

6. Punishment also: for every deviation an additional 2 days will be added to the challenge.

7. To test the level will power and just generally for some fun, I will be required to bake a dessert once every week WITHOUT TASTING. I am allowed to have a taster though. (This ones going to be really tough).

So these are the rules for now. I hope you can join me in my quest, encourage me and suggest better punishments in case I deviate. The ones I have seem kinda boring! Need some entertainment, babay!

See you, playas!

Yo Yo Honey Singhs! What be ups, my homies?

All right, that's enough gangsta for a decade. You may think I have long forgotten you and my oven but you couldn't be further away from the truth, my sweet toothed fraands. I have been at it, day and night, bringing cake to those who need it most.

The past few weeks have got me thinking about life and all the little things that go into the making of one. There is the essential person who is alive that is required to make life, the flour to the cake, we can call him. And then there are all the other ingredients…some are essential, like sugar in the cake and some are the silent catalysts, imperative but too much would make life just bitter. I am talking about baking powder, guys. And in life, baking powder are the toughies that make life difficult. Only a pinch is enough to bring out the best in you. So next time something bad happens, think of it like baking powder, a little is essential for your cake of life to be beautiful and fluffy – too much can make you hard and bitter, I agree. Makes you think, what kind of cake are you?

My family is the butter of my life's cake. They spoil me, indulge me, in way only family can. My cake (err…life) would be low cal and boring without them…kind of like a blob of dry baked flour.

And who's the flour? Aah…don't flatter yourselves, fellow readers, none of you are the core ingredient of my life cake. The flour is I (wow, there's a sentence I never thought I'd say).

I are the flour to my cake, it is MY life after all, isn't it? The right amount of me in my life can make it delish or lumpy and dry. It's my job to hold all these ingredients together, because without them, I am just plain old flour. Meaningless and white.

So that's my gyaan for this post, folks! Count your blessings. Everyone plays a role in the cake that is your life. Think about who is that pinch of cinnamon or that cupful of cocoa in your cake and remember time and again that all are required to bring out the yumminess that is your true nature. And yeah, believe in your flour self! FLOUR POWER, AHA!

Meanwhile, here's an update in pics of what I've been upto!

Natashahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916242894335262284.post-84739292605703053992012-02-28T02:54:00.001-08:002012-02-28T02:59:23.209-08:00Baking From Happiness
So I am sick. Like really unwell. High fever, rash and all. Ugh. It's the worst feeling. I mean I've been sick plenty and really enjoyed it mostly, what with all the pampering and sympathy, the best part being that I skipped many a final exam in school but this is totally different. To start off, I fell sick on my birthday (that too has happened before...twice). I snapped at all my friends after inviting them to dine with me at a fancy place. I wore my favourite top but was too cold to take the jacket off even once. I hardly ate anything. I somehow made it home and worst of all, I left for a wedding in Jaipur the next day only to return day after, half dead with an ugly, ugly rash all over my body. And all this over a weekend.

Today I decided enough was enough. I had no fever all day yesterday and enough energy in me to do something...and no office. This meant it was a perfect time to bake. That's when I saw the silver lining. It's one thing to bake for happiness, but quite another to bake from happiness. The fruit of the latter's always sweeter and yummier.

It was easy to decide what to bake. It had to be mom's favourite. Her favourite dessert of all time: chocolate eclair. Moms are the best. When you're unwell and disoriented and weak and helpless and you just call out your mom's name, for no purpose as such, I've seen it really gives some sort of a boost, some invisible strength accompanied with a comforting, world's best hug. So, this one's for my momma. Nay, for all our mommas.

You can find the recipe for this here. And thank my Maamu for giving it to me and it reaching you thus.

Isn't it the best feeling when you discover something pleasant? And yummy? I love it when such accidents happen on weekdays. It just lifts up your day and gives you strength to carry on (very filmy, but true). So I came home from work to find my mum missing and decided that for a change I'll give her an evening snack when she returns. (My mum cutely has a snack prepared everyday when I come back from work...what can I say, she thinks I do a lot of work involving manual labour).

So I washed my face and hands (look how clean I am), tied my hair in a ponytail (hair strands in one's food can possibly ruin a surprise...unless you can sell it to your customer or 'surprisee' as flavouring or something), and preheat the oven. I started making the dough for my quiche when I had an epiphany. And Pizza Pockets were born.

Like cute little samosa bags, I filled the dough up with some yummy tomato pasta sauce (store bought, tasted great) lotsa veggies (whatever I could find: mushrooms, broccoli, carrots), sprinkled some italian seasoning and garlic powder, pulled the dough together and covered the gaps on top with the help of little dough flaps and put them in the oven. Oh, and instead of a pie tin, I used, wait for it, cupcake moulds!

Oh, and I mixed some rosemary and sage into the dough while rolling it out...added to the great flavour.

I patted myself and put these babies into the oven and set it for 15 mins. However, two minutes later I took them out to add cut up olives on top, because anyone who knows me knows I love olives. Back in the oven, I waited with bated breath.

The wait was worth it and the result was delicious. In fact they looked so pretty and smelled so good, mum and I couldn't wait to dive in. Result: Burnt tongue.

I think they make for great snacks and mini-meals for kids. I deliberately didn't use cream coz I wanted to keep it low fat. It had maida and some cheese so not that low-fat after all... But I bet it'll taste even better with more cheese and some mayonnaise. I shall experiment on friends who can afford to put on a couple of kgs :) How I hate you and love you at the same time, you jackasses.

It's heart season. Time to bleed red (duh) and wear your heart on your sleeve. Order some dil-shaped stuff to bring a smile to your special someone's (in some cases someonessss) pretty, round face. I'll shut up and let the pictures tell this tale of lowe.

I woke up this morning with an urge to bake, nay, a determination to bake. It's been almost three weeks since I've had some alone time with my oven! The horror! So this pleasant Saturday morning, it's me and my baby.

The million dollar question was what to bake. I've been really watching my diet and doing intense workouts these days (oh, my legs, arms, toes and palm - what excruciating pain!) so I must admit, I was a little scared of getting right back to baking...what with the temptations! Anyhoo, nothing could keep me away and I quickly googled for the healthiest desserts possible also because I am dying to eat some yum yum stuff. And Voila! I present to you my ABC cake. A for Apple, B for Banana and C for Carrots. To feel more valentine-y I decided to inaugurate my heart-shaped mould.

I basically replaced sugar with splenda and honey and maida with atta (yet to see how that goes). And for the first time ever, I am sharing a recipe! This one's adapted from Cupcake project, a gold mine of cupcake ideas and recipes.

Aaaah! The sweet smell of cinnamon wafts into the living room as I type in a trance. I am tempted to try a cinnamon cream cheese frosting but then I remember this is supposed to be low-cal. Damn. Why are all good things bad for you?

Nevermind. This healthy mix of fruits still looks gorgeous, I just sneaked in a look. Oh, just thought of a related song!

Dil toh carrot hai

Dil banana hai

Dil toh apple hai

Dil banana haiiiiiii

Waah waah waah waah. Click here for the original, and sing along my lyrics :D

Natashahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916242894335262284.post-21140133010905170422012-01-06T04:04:00.001-08:002012-01-07T00:19:58.132-08:00The Mother of All Sister's Cake
Don't expect any modesty in this post. I baked and created something so amazing that I am not ashamed to say it. This is my Taj Mahal, my (non) Leaning Tower of Pisa, my Eiffel Tower, my greatest creation ever...it's so many things that I don't quite have the perfect name for it. Some call it the Chocolate Tower, some Banana Chocolate Mountain, or some simply dumb-it-down by naming it the Chocolate Truffle Cake. But for me this is the Dancing Queen cake made for my lovely sister.

You see, many years ago, my parents had a chubby baby girl called Neha who ate raw tomatoes and looked like her mother (and that has nothing to do with tomatoes). Five years later I was born because my parents felt she needed someone to play with, someone who'd dote over her even when they weren't around. And I take my job terribly seriously. So this year, for my sister's birthday, I baked her this mammoth cake.

This was my big challenge. I confess that I had pictured something quite different in my head but I am truly happy with what was finally presented on the table. Admittedly, lots of practice required in some areas but I have to say that the taste was bang on. Waise bhi, with so much chocolate, you can't go wrong.

Seriously, baking a cake like this is tough. Fancy cake bakers ko shatt shatt pranam. (Better photos coming up soon!)

I would like to take a minute to thank the organizers of the surprise party (Devika, Kshitij Chandiok), for giving me this opportunity; the attenders of the party (Saloni, Kanav) for driving me their and entertaining me along the way respectively; Zee for eating most of the cake; Mom for making it all possible; and of course my darling sister for being born. I love you guys. *sob weep breakdown in tears*

And here's a little something I baked for my best friend's younger sister. An improvement in piping, I see! Hope she enjoyed it :)

Came across this fantastic presentation on Facebook. Even though I didn't understand some of it, I think it is just brilliant how it's done. Thirty minutes a day for me, starting today! So this (below) is why we desperately need to shake ourselves out of lethargy. Please watch and share:

Happy New Year! Goodbye, 2011 and hellooo 2012! I can't say where this year went. I have the memory of a goldfish that way...And that's why I have to write everything down.

I baked something special for my mom on the last day of the year. Thought I'd pamper her a little so she'd forget all the mean things I've said to her all through the year. I made her a vegetable quiche and called it Memoirs of Quiche(a).

I started the year with some piping practice. I made yummy orange cupcakes and iced them with orange-coloured vanilla frosting! Lovely looking yummy stuff!

Well, you've just baked (or have brought home, or been gifted) a batch of mini Oreo Cheesecakes and you're trying to loose weight. It's wedding season after all. You think it'd be easy but with these babies, the attraction is like you're two ends of the magnet. You're in love and you belong together. And your mind won't rest till you are one.

Having gone through the same strife, and failing (thrice), I will give you handy tips to stay in a house with the cupcakes without eating them. These are my very expert tips:

1. Feed them to a loved one. This is my favourite ploy for it kills two birds with one stone. Lovingly serve your loved one and earn brownie points with them. At present they will love you for it, perhaps shower you with gifts this new year and for not resisting, they will only have themselves to blame (make sure of that).

2. Do not watch them eat. RUN. HIDE. JUST GET OUT OF THE ROOM.

3. Invite a friend over for coffee. Make some tea or coffee and serve these. Make sure this friend is high maintenance and appreciative (a rare combination) foodies (the most important!). Friends who are demanding will have you running around while they munch because they basically can't resist good food. An extra tip: customize your invitation list by finding out which of your friends just 'loooove' cheesecakes or oreos. You'll be such a hit.

4. Make it pretty. If you've baked 'em then make sure they look gorgeous. If you haven't baked 'em, order them from me cuz I make them look gorgeous. The reason for the prettiness is that you wouldn't (normally) want to destroy a thing of beauty and you would want to show it off. So show it off. And pass on the calories to people who can afford to have them :D

5. Reward yourself. If you're one with will power then set a high goal for yourself. An impossible one, preferably. And only if you achieve this can you have a mini cheesecake. Make sure you can't achieve it.

So that's my five. Time to go have a cupcake (this was my big achievement) hahaha!

Happy Christmas, everyone! It's time to drink, eat and be merry! Seriously, if Christmas isn't cake season, I don't know what is. It's virtually God giving us a license to hog! I mean the brand ambassador of the season is chubby ol' Santa.

I don't know about you, but we Punjabis have a deep connection with Santa Claus. He stars in all our Santa-Banta jokes, doesn't he? Hee hee. Okay, so that's Santa Singh, but what fun it would be if the three of them hung out together: Santa Claus, Santa Singh and Banta. Ho ho ho-es all over the place! On that note got to click on this hilarious number: Punjabi jingle bells hahaha!! A must watch: Jingle bells will never be the same again!

So, I've been baking a lot these past few days. And I do mean a lot. I don't know which one of the two (Editing and baking) is my part-time job! That line is fast blurring. I also finally designed a logo for moversnbakers and I don't know what you think, but I think it is cute. Green's for eggless and pretty pink's non vegetarian.

I've been kept busy in the kitchen thanks to some friends and colleagues who keep me on my toes by placing orders for cakes and challenge me to learn new things, like the orange chiffon cake which looked beautiful, light and fluffy!

I did spread some Christmas cheer by gifting my best friend and her family this (wonderful) choco chip cake...you can't see the chips cuz it snowed on the cake! And take a peek at the chocolate butterfly before it flies away!

The final and favourite experiment on Christmas day were these wonderfully festive banana cupcakes. I can't get myself to eat them because they're so pretty! A riot of colours like this lovely time of year. May it never pass!

I have been getting quite a few requests by 'eggless people' (I can't believe I said that to someone) for eggless cake recipes. Most people think you can't make a light and spongey cake without the anda, but yesterday I discovered that tha, my friends, is a myth. 'Haan, haan, ye jhooth hai!'

It was a proud day in the kitchen for me. The produce included the gorgeous Lemon Cupcakes (better than last time, thank you very much!) and the baap of all cakes, the Don himself, the Choco Chip Chocolate cake! *collective ooooh aaaaaaaah*

Mind you, these are both eggless and look how high the cake's risen and how soft the insides of the lemon cupcakes look!

Time for some Don music! All hail, SRK -- mere dil ka don! :D

What's a weekend without baking, what's a Christmas (season) without cookies! Aaah! I finally achieved a batch of -- remarkable, buttery, soft and crunchy -- Choco chip cookies! Now I can die in peace. But I don't need to because heaven is right here, on Saturday morning with a cup of hot chocolate and a plate full of warm choco chip cookies right out of the oven. B-UH-LISS. Sigh Sigh

I know they're just cookies to you but this mountain of misshaped beauties you see is my Everest. This was my third attempt at baking cookies and alas, I finally got it right. This calls for some serious shaking! Bring on the Johnny Bravo move! Sassy!

Who doesn't love midnight snacks? And when the snack is a creamy, chocolaty cake...then you look forward to midnight more than anything. Cutting a cake at midnight on birthdays is a tradition in most houses, and why should it not be? It is the most exciting way to start a special day, celebrating the birthday of the most special person in your life.

Even though this is something we do in my family for everyone's birthday, it is also a tradition in my family to be surprised when someone walks in with a cake at midnight, loudly singing the birthday song with candles, flowers and all. It doesn't do if you aren't surprised! Inevitably on every birthday eve, my dad would pretend to sleep precisely at 11 45 pm (which gave us time to make the preparations). And then when we entered the room, he would 'wake up' all shocked asking us, 'aaj kiska birthday hai?', whose birthday is it? Haha!

Today is my friend Shreya's mom's birthday and guess who baked a cake for her? Me, me, and me.

What a way to go to bed! Satisfied and happy that your mom's glad for you and the cake! Sweet dreams, indeed :)

Listen, eat and enjoy: Dream a Little Dream of Me by Louis Armstrong (What a beautiful version!)

So I was just texting a friend of mine who had recently ordered a Choco-Banana cake and fed it to his office colleagues. He's new in town and I realized that taking cake to office would be a great way for him to become more popular with his colleagues. Heck, he may even get a promotion. Better yet, he might get a date.

That's when I realized the relevance of good food in a relationship. Someone once told me women think more about food than sex. And as a girl, I can totally vouch for that fact. I don't need to see any statistics to prove this. In fact, the old saying about the way to a man's heart being through his stomach is wrong wrong wrong (believe me, I know 'a man' :P). It's actually the true path to a woman's heart. So here's what you're actually saying to a woman when you offer her delicious (home-made, preferably by a bubbly girl in her twenties who likes shaking and baking) varieties of bakes:

1. 'You are not fat': When you give a girl cake, you are telling her that she can afford to eat cake. Her figure's perfect and that there is nothing she has to avoid to 'get into shape'. Girls always love boys who love them just the way they are.

2. A lot can happen over cake: She will have to talk to you now that you are standing there offering her cake...

3. 'I got bake and brawn, baby': Tell her you baked it (I won't mind, I'll even tell you the basic recipe to show off -- but tread carefully, you don't want to enter the 'gay best friend zone' -- so don't indulge in too much recipe talk.) A guy who can bake and be macho is every 21st century woman's dream.

4. Women turn to sweet stuff on a bad day. And if she's having a bad day, she needs someone to talk to...(are ya getting the drift here...?)

5. Happy hormones: Everyone knows desserts (mostly chocolates) release Endorphins or happy hormones -- A great chance to share a laugh, yes?

If you can think of any other logical explanations for this, please share it with all the single boys out there. Meanwhile, the progressing order of cakes and where to order :)

Cupcakes: I think I'm gay
Vanilla Sponge cake: You're like my sister
Miss Orange-nality: Notice me, I'm different
Chocolate cake: A Classic -- I am interested, are you?
Let's Date cake: A prophecy
Apple Crumble: I can be your friend, too
Black Forest cake: Things are getting serious

**Please don't take this post too seriously.

You're not gay if you like cupcakes. Call them muffins next time.

It all began with a thought. There were a few doubts and a couple of goof ups but it was all worth it. On Saturday night, 11 30 pm came alive my very first attempt at the Black Forest cake.

Minus the cherries, this piece of (messy) art tastes just like it should. It is soft and spongey, cuts easily and the texture is just right. I would have liked to get more height and make it neater, and I will perfect it very soon, but for now, this is my masterpiece.

If I were to listen to a song while eating this yum cake, it would be Mercy by Duffy, for obvious reasons -- this cake will bring you to your knees!

It's true, you never really forget your first love. :)

I am totally psyched about my adventures in the kitchen today. It was an absolute experiment and it turned out beautiful! I baked lemon cupcakes!

To top it off, I poured on some of them some sugary-lemony goodness which only enhanced the tang of the lemon. Not only do they taste delish, they smell beautiful too! When the oven went ting. and I saw those gorgeous cracks on top of these balls of off-white, lemony goodness, I swear I fell in love.

So invoke the sweet smell of lemongrass and listen to this wonderfully relaxing song, Lemon Tree while you take in these savoury visuals. (That's right, indulge all your senses, except your taste buds :P! Order now!)

I just love weekends. I always carry work home on Friday evenings and promise myself to finish x amount of work by Monday and I always break that promise and do nothing productive instead. And that's what I love about weekends!

Friday evenings are my favourite time to bake. Actually, it's Friday nights...aah, just knowing that I don't need to sleep on time and wake up on time and that I can bake till I drop! Incidentally, I always end up waking up early on Saturdays (never on time on Weekdays :|). Maybe it's because there is no 'pressure to perform' on Saturdays.

Sundays are special too. The mornings and afternoons are as lazy as can be. Breakfast is an important meal that day. So important in fact that I always miss it -- on account of sleeping till late! Which means it's time to brunch!

Last Sunday, I decided to call a couple of my friends over for brunch. I was in the mood to feed, and feed I did indeed. On the menu was:

1. Olive Cheese and Garlic Bruschetta
2. Cinnamon and Caramel Shake
3. Chocolate Marble Cake
4. Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Cookie Crust

Are you drooling yet?

The response was positively positive. They were licking their fingers and trying hard to stay awake.
I also found myself an official Taster! (Criteria for this post mainly consists of a high metabolic rate)

Just because the blog post has that name, doesn't mean I like that song. I don't endorse such music either. But the song title goes well with what I have on my plate today. Before we talk about the dish of the day (actually night), we gotta shake a bit so go to this youtube link and instead of oggling at the women in this video, move your bum and work up an appetite for what follows! Woohooo!

Phew! Now that we're done, I present to you the very wonderful, the very Dubai, the very Saudi Arabic, the very rich and Sheikh-y: Let's Date Cake! Tadaaa!

Is it just me, or is there a Sheikh belly dancing in the background?

So basically, to be quite honest, I don't really like dates. I mean I like to go out on dates (especially when 'he' pays the bill) but I don't like those brown, roach like chewey thingies (Don't you want to eat that cake, now!). The truth of the matter, my friends, is that everything is awesome when you bake it!

Oh! My neighbours are having a party and they just started playing Chammak Challo! Gotta SHAKE, NOW!

Catch you laters, folks! And ya, don't you want to date that cake?

(This post is so full of lame, albeit insightful, jokes.)

Ladees and the gents, in the oven at this moment is that one dish that will make your life better. Okay, I hope it will! Right at this moment, bubbling and rising like the beautiful Winter sun is a gorgeous loaf of Orange bread. I never knew such a thing existed but god bless the internet for free recipes...ting! That was me, not the oven. Oh happiness!

I wonder what it'll look like...how it will taste. It smells blissful, yes.

Why am I baking at 10 pm? I just finished watching the finale of Masterchef Australia 2011 (Kate won, by the way, doesn't matter really, everyone wins!) And I thought, time to bakety bake bake masterchef style -- boom boom, shake the room :)

Leaving you with a visual of this beauty and I hope it makes you want to reach into the screen and sneak a teeny bitey!

My quest for a 'healthy' dessert brought me to the Apple Crumble last evening. Now, please. It is NOT healthy...as such. It has quite a bit of butter, maida and sugar in it. But in its defence, it's YUM.

I am trying to avoid eating it and successfully have but mom's really been at it. She really does love her fruits and veggies (conveniently ignoring the butter and sugar). I also made Banana Walnut Cake and Walnut Cake this weekend (Nov 26-27) -- Yes, there's lots of walnut at home!

I gifted the banana walnut cake to a friend. He says it was great, so yay! Definitely better than the last (and first) attempt at banana bread (phew!). Getting good -- and fast! Yeah, baby! (Hold the phone, Modesty calling!)

Leaving you with this mouth-watering visual of the Apple Crumble. Let's hope my friend clicks a pic of the banana bread before he finishes all of it and I can post it for you guys! Cheers and lowe, lowe, lowe.

I have recently taken to feeding people instead of only being fed. I discovered about a month back that i had developed an obsession for baking. Actually,the obsession became a reality only when my mum bought me an oven for Diwali. It cam with a lot of promises: No, I will not bake great stuff and eat it myself or make you eat it. Something would be baked and tasted and quickly disposed off to friends or office colleagues. No calories, please. The other promise was to learn how to bake a whole lot of veggie dishes for mum. I think that's primarily how she got convinced, my vegetable-loving mother.

Well, once the oven arrived, I basically lost my mind. I baked everyday the first week. The first two attempts were disastrous, owing to my usual casual 'I know I'll be great at this' attitude supported by 'Oh, I don't need to follow measurements, I'm a natural' campaign. But after wasting half the ration of the house, I submitted to the internet for recipes (always the faceless internet, never an auntie -- afterall, I have quite an ego!).

It started with a few hiccups, hell, I am still hiccuping but my office colleagues would agree I am getting kind of good at this. Mom hasn't got many baked vegetable dishes yet (that was just the bait to reel her in), I like to focus on desserts! This baking obsession is also keeping me on my toes and I think I will need to join a gym soon :P But more on that, later.

For now, please enjoy my baking evolution in pics. Remember, I am not giving any FREE cooking tips. And I might be willing to take orders!

But how to keep it from being swept away? Mine took a swim in 3" of rain. Unless one keeps it in some sort of cage. it'll be uprooted. Maybe that can be done - an anchored cage.
But how to keep it from being swept away? Mine took a swim in 3" of rain. Unless one keeps it in some sort of cage. it'll be uprooted. Maybe that can be done - an anchored cage.
BUT your stream is a real stream. Mine is a trickle at best. Even during high storms it's not a real stream.
Mine was an innocent looking, lazy watercourse that turned into a raging river when the remnants of a hurricane came through. Th plants in BobZ's site were established, rooted, in that environment. Anything we put in won't be established. I would strongly urge some sort of cage that won't go anywhere when a major rainstorm comes by. And you know you will have them, down there!
Try some big pots of sphagnum, weighted down with plenty of rocks at the bottom.
Okie dokie. I took these pics right after planting the large ones. I had already cut off all of the pitchers of the smaller ones, which is why you can't really see them. After this photo was taken I cut off the large pitchers. I did this so wind/rain wouldn't knock them over before they had a chance to root (small root systems). This is before I put dried LFS in all of the cracks in the rock work and added live lfs on top.
I didn't test the rocks. I just used what was in the area. The water flowing over the rocks never bothered the Sphagnum, so I hope it won't bother the plants. I know it's not quite the same thing :P In the "Flower bed" I used ten gallons of media. On one side (the top in this picture I planted six plants directly in the ground, and only added some rocks at the edge to keep the freshly disturbed media from eroding. I used a total of 15 cu. L. or so of died LFS in the cracks in the rock and on top of the media, and a few gallons of live LFS on top. It's supposed to rain 2 inches today. We'll see how that goes.
I'll post pics later of it with the moss, and again later this summer when the plants have their growth in. Assuming they'll make it that long. I chose to not use pots because I really am hoping to let them do their own thing and spread (at which point I'll remove the rocks at the top, keeping them in the "garden"). Wish me luck. No one can say I didn't try lol. In the heat of the summer I'd like to take some temperature measurements at soul surface level, at foliage level, at the root zone, and compare those temperatures to a normal sized pot sitting in water in full sun, as the plants would have ordinarily been grown.
There are about 40-45 individual plants. Many of the small ones are in clumps and could not be separated. Counting the clumps as single plants (which I don't), and excluding plants coming from stolons, I think I counted 31.
That's really cool, man. Hopefully that works out.
I'd also place rocks as close to the individual plants as possible to help keep them in place when the stream rises significantly.
Pretty sweet Clint I hope it works out for ya!

OK I need some serious help for a serious black algae problem. My parents purchased a house with a pool several months ago. The pool was pea soup green when they moved in. Thanks to TFP and a FAS test kit I have managed to get the water crystal clear and all parameters back in range. The problem is the pool is approx one third covered in black algae. We have been brushing daily or every second day and keeping the chlorine at a slightly elevated level for at least the last month but it just does not seem to be clearing up or so it seems. Is there something else we can do or do we just persevere with the brushing and keeping the chlorine slightly higher. I have enough managing my own pool let alone the parents as well.
Pool is very similar in volume and surface to my own pool but here are the exact details.
Pool volume 50,000L
Surface Pepplecrete
salt water with a salt water chlorine generator.
Water Parameters
pH: 7.4
T/A: 120 (SWG booklet recommends 90-150)
Calcium:300 (SWG booklet recommends 300-350 for this pool surface)
CYA:60 (SWG booklet recommends 40-65)
Salt:5600 (SWG booklet recommends 5000-6000)
I know chemicals for treating black algae are not recommended but is there some way to get this under control.

I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about losing trades. We all get them from time to time. How do you deal with them? If after a string of losers after some winners, do you give up? Throw the towel in and say "This doesn't work" then look for yet another trade model to find?
This was a trying month for me personally, financially and mentally. Why? The Eurusd went into a consolidation on the 15th and 16th which caused me to take the longest string of losers I have ever had the joy of experiencing. Some of you took them with me. I wanted to talk about these because most people NEVER talk about the loser's they take, only the winners. I want full disclosure, good or bad, I want you all to know what is happening, the mistake I may or may not make. Your never know when or what can be learned.
My personal view when it comes to trading is to not focus on the money associated with the lot size. If I take a losing trade, it will cost me anywhere from 36 pips to 100 pips. The dollar amount of those pips do not matter to me because I know my trade model to be profitable over time. You all hear us talk about having a positive RR ratio of 2:1 or better. This means to me that I can take 2 losing trades before I am at the original account balance.
I wrote an article about having the right ratio here: Euodootrading.com
Following the proper ratio helps me stay focused even when I have to take a losing trade. When I catch a runner or a winner, I let it work and pay me as long as it wants. We all heard the saying "Let you winners run," the real question is Do You?
Losing trades are apart of trading. If you can't take a loser, then... I don't know what to tell you. Now, I can take a loser, I can take two losers in a row, 7 in a row and I'm feeling a lil sick. I still have faith in my trade but there comes a point where I have to either step away, stop trading or look closer at what is going on. When I have to take that many loser's in a row on the Eurusd, then I know its in a tight channel, at some point it is going to break out and run like crazy. I have to be prepared to make my money back, and that is exactly what happened this month. We took some losers or quite a few losers for that matter, but was able to make them back and be in profits to end the month. THAT is the power of having a positive risk to reward ratio.
I do take losing trades, its how I manage my winning trades that more then make up for a loser. Proper management of risk, positions and reward ratio all play key factors in being profitable.
Be Profitable.

Senate Minority Leader Charles SchumerCharles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerOvernight Finance: White House planning new tax cut proposal this summer | Schumer wants Congress to block reported ZTE deal | Tech scrambles to comply with new data rules OPEC and Russia may raise oil output under pressure from Trump The Hill's 12:30 Report — Sponsored by Delta Air Lines — GOP centrists in striking distance of immigration vote MORE (D-N.Y.) on Monday blasted President Trump's coming budget plan, saying that it will benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
"This budget proposal is a reflection of exactly who this President is and what today's Republican Party believes in: helping the wealthy and special interests while putting further burdens on the middle class and those struggling to get there," Schumer said in a statement.
An Office of Management and Budget official on Monday said that Trump will be a proposing a $54 billion increase in defense spending for the next fiscal year, with an equal cut from non-defense discretionary spending.
"Most Americans didn't vote to ease up on polluters, or to give Wall Street the green light to rip them off. They certainly didn't vote to make all these cuts so that President Trump can hand out a tax break to the wealthiest Americans."
The White House is sending a topline budget proposal to federal agencies Monday afternoon, and the budget is expected to be released in the middle of March.
Trump will discuss his agenda further in a joint address to Congress Tuesday. Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are slated to give a "prebuttal" to the speech Monday afternoon at the National Press Club.

I saw a stat on CNN the other day that said the average American dines out 3.2 times a week. I'm assuming dining out does not count work lunches or breakfast, but I could be wrong.
I find this hard to believe if it truly is evening dining. Even the retired folks in my area probably dine out once a week at the most. I wasn't area people had this kind of extra money during the present state of the economy.
Perhaps my region of the country is different than the rest?

Part 2 of ABC Interview says Bentley's Miracles cannot be verified
For those who have been asking, Part 2 of the ABC Nightline interview of Todd Bentley can be viewed here:
Todd Bentley on ABC's NIGHTLINE
On this clip you can watch the part that says this:
"When asked to present evidence of the healings, Bentley promised to give "Nightline" the names and medical records of three followers who would talk openly about his miracles. He never delivered. Instead, his staff gave "Nightline" a binder filled with what he says are inspiring miracles, but with scant hard evidence. It offered incomplete contact information, a few pages of incomplete medical records, and the doctors' names were crossed out.
When pressed further, Bentley provided the name of a woman in California who had a large tumor in her uterus that shrank after she saw Bentley.
Her husband, however, told "Nightline" that it could be a coincidence because she was still undergoing medical treatment. He said she was too ill to talk to the media.
The husband did provide some of his wife's medical records from a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, where she went for cancer treatment after being turned away by American hospitals. The wife, however, insisted on obscuring the clinic's name and the names of the doctors.
Not a single claim of Bentley's healing powers could be independently verified."

From: Matthew Stephen
7/09/08 – In the 7/09/08 UBBS, David addresses the July 8, 2008/San Diego numerology; later in the study he takes step three (Matthew 18:17a – "tell it unto the Church") of Matthew 18 in regards to Matthew Stephen.
This an e mail from Matthew Stephen
Matthew Stephen
Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 8:28 PM
Subject: False Accusations
Dear Saints:
It has come to my attention that David Eells and others have brought false accusations and have put forth false purported "words of wisdom" against me recently. These accusations have been broadcast on the airwaves as well as published by e-mail correspondence. These accusations are false and purely speculative.
I love the body of Christ and it saddens me deeply to see a brother in the Lord trying to divide the body of Christ in this manner. I have wept profusely over this matter before the Lord. The Lord Jesus has instructed us to love and pray for those that persecute us and that is the model that I follow; I admonish you to do the same.
This situation was handled in an unbiblical manner. Two or three witnesses are REQUIRED in order for anyone to entertain an accusation against an elder. There are no witnesses to any wrongdoing, and I have committed no wrong.
I apologize to all the radio listeners on today's broadcast on Spirit 1. It was hijacked without notice to me and used against me. I continue to walk in obedience to the Lord as I serve God, with my wife, and the ministry team that God has given to me.
Please pray for David Eells, Bob of Spirit One radio, my wife and I including the ministry team. I pray that Papa God would love on both David and Bob.
God Bless you,
Matthew and Kathy Stephen

New forms of adjustable fluid film hydrodynamic bearings have shown great potential for suppressing vibrations and maintaining accuracy of location of rotational centres. First demonstrated on a simulated grinding wheel machine tool rotor and spindle system, the principal has also been applied to the support bearings in a large marine gearbox application. In both cases the bearing adjustment feature was used to maintain or displace in a pro-active manner the centre of rotation irrespective of loads and changes of load, and to suppress instabilities and vibrations provoked by running at low and zero loads. It is felt that these characteristics could be of significant benefit in a range of applications when coupled with appropriate intelligent systems for monitoring and control.

When I say "I'm not a great cook", I simply mean that I'm not the type of cook that has the creativity to come up with their own dishes. I can't just "wing it" in the kitchen, throw together whatever's in my fridge, and come up with something tasty. I've tried, and it isn't pretty. That said, I am pretty good at finding simple and tasty recipes, keeping an organized recipe file/binder, and preparing healthy home-cooked meals for my family every night. And I know that's saying a lot!
When I say "I'm not a gardener", I mean that I know very little about gardening. I don't know the names of plants, and I don't know who needs full sun or lots of water or which plants are going to spread out or even which ones are annuals vs. perennials. I'm learning a little, though. And I'm having fun trying. I give myself a lot of credit for working with my husband to create a pretty yard full of bushes, trees, and flowers. I like my current routine of watering the tomatoes with the little boy every evening. Perhaps one day I'll know enough to call myself a gardener.
So if I say "I'm not..." something, I am not putting myself down. Actually, I'm praising my abilities to continue to learn and try new things!
*NOTE: It was unbelievably hard to find somewhat recent pictures of myself. We have 10 million of the boy, but very few of just me or K. We'll have to remind ourselves to point the camera at each other more often.

19. The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle, read by Lily Rabe - Aryn Kyle has set herself a very high bar with this book, her first novel. It is a story of a family going through some tough times, nothing too extraordinary, told by the twelve year old youngest daughter. Of course our narrator sees herself at the center of this family, that's how twelve year olds think. But the reader will see how all the lives are falling apart, coming back together, and sometimes stagnating, while staying true to a young girl's voice. The sense of place (a small horse ranch in the desert) is so strong you can just about smell the leather saddles, the characters are fully fleshed out, even those that only appear on a few pages, and the plot takes some surprising, but very believable turns. The only negative was Kyle's female chauvinism. The women of this story act while the men react. The women are the instigators, the men are manipulated. There are a few exceptions to this, but it was noticeable enough I found myself wondering how the father could be so weak and oblivious and have raised daughters who think so well for themselves.
20. Speaking With The Angel, Edited by Nick Hornby - A collection of short stories written by friends of Nick Hornby at his request to raise money for an autism education program in England (and in the US if you buy the published in America version). The only requirement Honby gave his friends was that the stories be told in first person. With that broad of a brief, you're bound to get a variety of tone, plot, and of as in any anthology, quality. Colin Firth, for one, should never quit his day job. And Dave Eggars reminded me that writing as an animal will cause an immediate disconnect with the reader that is very difficult to overcome. On the positive side, a few of the stories are just down right good short fiction: Roddy Doly writes "The Slave", a sneaky little story that examines the difference between maturity and age; Giles Smith brings us "Last Requests", about person with a very unique job - preparing the last meals for death row inmates; and Irvine Welsh writes in the voice of a homophobe who finds the afterlife exactly what he wants it to be. It wasn't a surprise to learn Walsh was the author of "Trainspotting". Of all the pieces, my favorite was "NippleJesus", by Hornby himself, a "what is art?" story that shows that the question is more important than the answer.
21. Twilight by William Gay - This is a Southern Gothic horror story with the emphasis on people and place over action. That's more than enough to make this story a page turner of the highest calibre. A young man who probably thought his childhood was the worst thing that could happen to him finds himself mixed up with some truly evil men as a result of a question about his father's internment. In an attempt to find justice, he crosses paths with a county full of those sort of characters that make Southern Gothic stand apart from any other genre. The story cuts back and forth, not always smoothly, but when you get to the part that meets up with the beginning of the book, it's all too clear - and perfectly gruesome. Gay goes all out with the dialect and social customs of the region he's writing about, and they add to the "other worldy" aspect of this dark and violent tale. I can't wait to read more of what he's written!

Did you hear about the 9-day long traffic jam in China right now? It has reached 100 km. Ugh!!!
Well, that's how I feel with blogging right now. I am in a blog-jam. But I promise I will catch up as soon as I can. I have yet to tell you about the absolutely perfect time I had at our family reunion last week.
And a few comments about beekeeping, sewing, and photo sesssions might be thrown in there...

Alert: The following images have no ALT attributes:
Image ALT attributes enrich website usability and return images in relevant search results due to enhanced site SEO. Image ALT attributes help search engines and visually handicapped people to determine what an image is about and how that might fit into the subject of a web page. This attribute provides alternative information for an image also in cases where there is a slow connection, an error in the SRC attribute of the page.
How To Fix:
<Images Alt=" "> Tag - Use it wisely and you can quickly turn Images into Assets. Engines can't index your image based only on what the image looks like - you need to tell them what the image is with text. The only indexable keyword aspect of images is the text of the page the image is on but most importantly the text you put in the <image alt="put text here"> tag.
Use of the alt tag also is very effective in helping your images rank well in Search Engines Image Search, so it should NOT be ignored.
Bear in mind that you shouldn't expect a big ranking boost from this tactic - in fact you may get none at all. Including image alt text is a optimization technique that even Bing suggests you use for better ranking.
Two more reasons for using the alt tag are:
1. When you make an image a link, the alt text functions as anchor text and can therefore influence the ranking for the target page similar to how text based anchor text works. Typically text links are regarded as better for this purpose, but if you have to use an image for your link, be sure to include the similar keywords optimized text in the alt text.
2. The latest HTML specs require that images have an Alt tag, failure to include this information will cause validation errors.
In essence, using the alt tag can sometimes help, and will never hurt your ranking and web design efforts. Therefore, you should use the alt tag whenever doing so holds any chance of making an image keyword-meaningful and thereby stacking the advantages in your favor.
To learn the image optimization strategies that will get your images ranking at the top - check out this article Six Steps to Quickly and Expertly Optimize Your Site's Images.
Be sure to use our Landing Page SEO report to check how well you optimized image ALTs and image titles for your targeted keywords.

I just recently noticed in my flower bed when I turned my mulch, it was moldy. I had planted some Calla Lilies in the middle of spring. One of them had bumps all under the one side. I figured the mold was the cause. I am wanting to plant some tulips and daffodils for next spring, but I was going to remove all the mulch first since I don't want those bulbs to get sick as well. My question is, can I put down potting soil after removing the mulch, and then next spring put in new mulch? I live on a military base, and it is lease agreed that the flower beds in front are to have mulch. Would my idea work, or should I just put down mulch?

Kabobs are one of those foods that are easy to make and fun to eat. As I was thinking about this recipe, my first thought went to chicken or beef for the protein, but then I asked myself, "Why do you always limit your choices between chicken or beef? What about pork?" And I realized I had never made a pork kabob before!

Gochujang and Thai-Chili Pork Stir Fry
Last year, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and was told to eliminate all carbohydrates, processed sugars, and dairy from my diet. The reality of that wasn't very exciting as you can imagine for a foodie like me, and I found it very challenging when eating out or cooking for my family.
Fast forward to a year later having learned to experiment with my limited ingredients and you get this tasty, healthy stir-fry.
Mediterranean Lentil and Chorizo Soup
November brings cold chilly days, which means its soup weather again! (YAY!) And what better way to chase the chill away than a big bowl of hearty Lentil and Chorizo Soup?
Ridiculously Easy Home Made Ricotta Cheese
No, you didn't misread my recipe title. I have honestly found the most ridiculously easy way to make fresh ricotta cheese. In fact, now having made this three ingredient, sweet, creamy delight, I can say without any hesitation that I will never buy pre-made ricotta cheese from the store ever again. EVER! The level of texture and flavor in this ricotta was, well….ridiculous!
Cajun Chicken and Andouille Fettuccini Alfredo
What do you get when you give a sixteen-year-old girl who loves pasta free reign in your kitchen? You get spicy, flavorful, creamy, luxuriant pasta bliss!
I love cooking with my daughter, and this recipe is great for a young cook. The directions are simple and easy to follow, and cooking the pasta in the liquid uses the starch from the noodles to naturally thicken the sauce. It's a one pot meal. Brilliant and delicious!
Thai Beef Sandwich
I'm on a sandwich kick lately so today isn't about what's for dinner, it's all about lunch, specifically Father's Day lunch because this is a dad sized sandwich.
This recipe is a twist on my husband's favorite Thai Beef Salad recipe I posted last July. And with all yummy sandwiches, one of the most important ingredients is the bread. I used my favorite Ciabatta bread because I knew it would be the perfect texture and thickness to hold up to the mound of tender roast beef, the layer of spicy, creamy mayonnaise, and the crunchy acidic dressed vegetables.
Baked Polenta with Sausage, Ham, and Prosciutto
This hearty dinner is perfect during the cold winter months when you want a 'stick to the ribs' meal. The salty, crispy meat is a wonderful contrast to the buttery, creamy polenta, and will warm you from the inside out!
Oriental Pork and Habanero Dumplings
Here's a spicy little appetizer to serve your Valentine this week, and they have everything you want in a dumpling. The tender, chewy wontons filled with tender pork, spicy habanero pepper, fresh ginger, green onion, and just a touch of sesame oil burst with flavor.
You think a box of chocolates is addictive? Wait until you try these.
Penne with Sausage, Fennel, and Mushrooms
I love making this pasta dish when we have company over because you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and allow the flavors to blend and deepen until you're ready to warm it back up in time for dinner. I'm also a believer in the rule that you should always cook with the wine you plan to serve with the meal. The peppery, currant, berry flavor of Syrah wine adds a deep richness to the sauce and wonderfully compliments the earthy mushrooms, spicy Italian sausage and bright licorice essence of the fennel.
Honey-Roasted Pork Loin with Pistachio and Olive Orzo Pasta
The flavor and texture of a pork loin after it's been basted with honey and roasted with onions and pears infuses the meat with a tender, smoky sweetness. Served with orzo pasta prepared using briny green and kalamata olives and nutty chopped pistachios, and you have a hearty dinner with a myriad of delicious tastes and textures.

The egr is located on the exhaust manifold. The small vac line attached to it comes from a switch-over valve under the front plastic cover if front of engine.
The ecu sends an electical sig to the sw/ov which opens the valve to engine vac. This in turn pulls the diaphram on the egr , opening it and allowing some of the exhaust gas to recirculate back to the intake manifold, cutting emissions.
The ecu will not send this sig at idle or wot, or until the engine is warm. . [ there are other paremeters for the ecu sig timing, but this is the basics]
So, if you hand pull about 12" of vac on the egr at idle with a warm engine, you are creating a very lean condition [ vac leak] and the engine will attemp to stall. [ run very rough]. This indicates that the egr is opening. Now, release the hand vac and the egr should snap shut. Engine should smooth out. But sometimes the egr sticks open, thus the diagnoses of "Running rough at idle when engine warms up".
There are 2 other test for this situation that I like to do while I am there. One possible is that the diaphram in the egr itself
may leak by and cause an internal leak. The test for this is to see if the hand vac will hold the egr open for a period.
The other [ athough remote] is that the sw/ov has a little vent on it that lets air back into the vac line when the ecu stops the sig to the valve. What this vent does is it lets the line between the egr and sw/ov lose its vac to the outside air and return the
egr to the closed posistion. [ in other words, it is possible for
the trapped vac in the line to keep lifting pressue on the egr diaphram].
A vac gauge somewhere on the intake side of the engine makes verifying these test a little easier.
So, this may/may not be your problem, but it shoud be checked
as it will cause this type of prob. and is easy enough to do....
As an added PS to this test,:
This is also a good test to do on the infamous egr intake tube
blockage at the intake side of the engine on the 104 engines.
