I've been using it for a long time now, and it's one of a handful of applications that I think of as "mission critical" on my system.

When losing weight, you must bear in mind that in order to get rid of it, you have to burn up more calories than you take in. Athletes take in a great deal of calories and are still in shape simply because they do a great deal of exercise throughout the whole day. Your average individual will struggle to handle this sort of diet and still remain fit. If you want to drop some weight the quickest and easiest way, it makes sense to do something like have a 1000 calorie diet, right?...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/-ZP8tQIfJ0Q/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weightlossfactguide/rLOH/~3/-ZP8tQIfJ0Q/ 2 September 2010, 10:40 am

The first stall that I encountered in the Lin Jiang (Tonghua) night market - they were selling pork dumplings and chicken, among other things. The pork dumplings had some black sesame sprinkled on them. The price for five was NT$40. Steamed shrimp - mild and deliciousThis stall had a variety of foods - meats on a stick, tofu, several bowls of broth bubbling away. I didn't know how to eat them but just bumbled along. It turns out that one way of eating them is that you have to choose your meats, ...]]> http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/08/everybody-loves-happy-ending-of-chalks.html http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/08/everybody-loves-happy-ending-of-chalks.html 1 September 2010, 1:03 pm
When the sweet-faced teenager navigating a shopping cart in the narrow aisle asked her to “excuse me, Aunty”, she turned and stared. “I’m not your aunty,” she told him severely, and as he watched the boy’s face fall, Amar turned away and smiled to himself, but not without some exasperation.Why couldn’t she let things go? Did she have to kick up a fuss all the time? And it wasn’t as if she wasn’t of Aunty-age, after all … As if she had heard him, she came up to him, wagged a ...]]> http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/08/of-chalks-and-chopsticks-round-up.html http://whenmysoupcamealive.blogspot.com/2010/08/of-chalks-and-chopsticks-round-up.html 4 August 2010, 8:59 am
1. The sabzi had become a bit watery and Nikita had acidly remarked that now she understood why there was a water shortage in Mumbai and everyone had laughed. 2. And then after few more minutes her Kaka was gone. With that, he left some wonderful memories to cherish for Vabhavi and her parents. Few years later they also moved to this big city. And since then whenever her Kaka would come to meet up with them, he never forgot to bring a big pack of samosas.3.

As inadequate as pop quizzes are, they are fun to do. Often, there are questions where none of the choice of answers apply; heck, even the question doesn't apply.Like this question, for instance:What's your usual pick-up strategy?Dress in something revealing, then go to a bar or dance club and mope at the counter with a martini until someone notices me.All I have to do is walk out my front door, it seems.

They were meeting after twenty-five years. She looked the same, though he could detect a thread of silver here and there in her still luxurious hair. Surprise, not excitement, had been his first reaction when she mailed him out of the blue, saying she needed to meet him. He couldn't bring himself to ask her why. Slowly, though, curiosity and elation took over and he began to look forward to the visit. The last time he saw her, they were around 20 years old.

One of the most significant seasons of my life was 1999 when we experienced three miscarriages. We already had one child and were desperate to have a second. That year was a roller coaster of emotions, to be sure.

Second chances and fresh starts are so rare in our goal-oriented, no-stops world, so the message of Rosh Hashanah is even more valuable to me than many Jewish holidays.  Often described as the Jewish New Year, it’s a time to celebrate, looking back on the successes of the previous twelve months, but also looking forward [...]...]]> http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/food-for-thought/ http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/food-for-thought/ 3 September 2010, 9:03 am

Bubbling away furiously in the blisteringly hot oven, it was quickly becoming clear that my supposedly simple little tart was not going to behave according to plan.

Grape Focaccia with Rosemary Adapted from Claudia Fleming’s Last Course As I mention above, I tweaked this recipe a lot.

Peach Shortbread I browned the butter when I made these bars and for once, I felt I could actually taste it in the final cookie (when so often it gets buried under other ingredients).
