Fast Food, Healthy?

When exactly did it happened? Conversation start when DS and DD told their grandparents that they are not hungry, let's just go home instead. DH was very proud because they mostly eat at McDonald (my children that is). MIL said, "hamburger is hamburger where ever you buy it." Of course DH and I had been, DH answered, "no." A hamburger that came from a grass feed and free range cow taste VERY different than the one that came from a cow factory. Then she (MIL) proceeded that they also have salads that are healthy. I chimed in and said, "do you eat anything there?" She said, "I only drink their coffee." Me answering, "if their salad is healthy how come you never eat them?" And I drop it after that, because she started talking to DH on how tasty the burger somewhere they used to live. Plus, like I said before, FIL is a very nice man and I don't want to trouble him about what his wife is saying. If MIL is hungry enough she will...

You Decide

Yes, it is your decision to drink wine or not. Like I said before, I heard and read that there are many benefits from red and purple grapes. The healthy antioxidant they offer are good for human consumption. Read about it and you decide. Knowledge is power my readers. Arm yourself with knowledge.

Yes, I am ready to share the recipe I like the most. I apologize but I cannot remember where exactly I got it from. Whoever made this recipe, thank you so much. Ingredients; 1 1/2 c. flour 4 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 eggs, separated 1 3/4 c. milk 1/2 c. melted butter (1 stick) Mix all the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to mix. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Add the milk and egg yolks to dry ingredients, mix. Then, mix in the melted butter. Next, fold he stiff egg whites. I can make 15 waffles from this batch. I have not perfected the cooking time, like you can see they have different shades. Anyway, the most important part is, my children like them. Yes, I made 15, my children ate 5 before I can take a picture. These came out of the freezer already. I was going to put it in a Ziploc bag for tomorrows breakfast.

Eye Trouble

Yes, I think it came with age, or too many online games. Whatever is the source it isn't good for me. I had been seeing black spots after being outside a lot. No, I do not see them while outside, but when I finally decided to inside the house. I am not an optometrist, but I think it is because I wear sunglasses a lot without prescription. You know the kind, the cheapest one I can find in the store. I will have to get an appointment very soon and get my eyes checked. I can hear my husband now making fun of me for wearing them. I already know what shape lens to get. Did you have a hard time choosing the right glasses for your face ? As for me, I pick the shape that is the opposite of my face. My husband in another hand needed another eye exam every year. H e's been using prescription glasses as long as I knew him. He wears them more than not these days. Which before he was doing the opposite. This is the outcome of mother's not ...

Summer Fruits & Vegetables + Strange Bees

I can't wait going to my local farmers' market's and buying fresh vegetables and fruits. Nothing can be compare to them. I just wish that my seeds are growing. I will be a much happier camper. Our friends of ours was waiting for some bees and queen for the new stock this spring. However, it was sold out before they can add the quantities into their websites. In my opinion, it might have something to do with back orders. Anyway, within a few days, his father pointed out to him a swarm of bees on one of their backyard tree. I think those bees ran away from the website where he want to buy some from...lol. I know, wow! He does not even have to wait for them, and the best part, he does not need to pay for them. They came in on their own, because the bees knew he needed some.

Polvoron/Short Bread

Here they are. I made these a few times now. And until now, I can still fine the molder here in the US. Amazon actually suggested to use the mini-muffin pan but how do you actually remove it after being mold? Drop really hard upside down? Then the mold will go back to powder. I have to ask my parents to pick one up for me back home. DH still complain that I still make it very dry. He likes it with a lot of butter, way more than the recipe was calling for. Oh yea, I wrapped them in different color tissue wrapper. They are the same flavor.
