Carrot

Friday afternoon tea-time is something to look forward to at work; an excuse for cakes. My turn to buy today. I purchased slices of carrot cake from the bakery down the road and returned to the office. A panic ensued. It seems that the other 3 girls are involved in some kind of healthy eating plan and that I’ve been imperceptive in my failure to notice their efforts. Gulp.Luckily, I wasn't too h

Every time I come back from India I kind of go under emotional roller coaster ride. There you are, surrounded by your loved ones at any odd time of the day or night sipping a cup of filter Kaapi and talking about everything under this sky and it feels like time just flies without you knowing. And here you are, with only your partner to talk to (that to when he is not busy giving bubble bath to

This is the perfect pick-me-up to start your day with! Ginger is very healthy (it purifies the blood), so if you like its taste you can increase the amount used. If you don't like ginger, you can skip it (and maybe try adding an apple to the juice).Weight Watchers Carrot and Celery Juice recipeMakes 1 servingIngredients5 medium carrots1 stalk celery1 inch peeled fresh ginger (or to taste)Preparation1.

First off, I would like to apologize for the poor quality of the photo. The last couple of cakes, I have photographed in other people’s homes and …well, my mini fake studio was not available. This particular cake was for my friend Lucy’s birthday.She had requested a carrot cake, a four-layer carrot cake, to be exact. Last week she came over, went through all my baking books, and finally settled on …Melissa Murphy’s Carrot Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting.I also made her a batch of carrot cupcakes (halved the recipe) for any children that were present at the party. The batter seemed a little dense as I made it and I was worried it would turn out a dry cake. When the cakes came out of the oven, they were tall and fluffy. (Whew!) The cream cheese frosting was marvelous. The

My online shreddermate from Down Under, Mike, posted a fun picture of himself holding a big ol' cane. We've been joking around that if I don't keep up a steady stream of 100% accountability days, he's going to come over and beat me with a stick. And if you've seen a picture of Mike, you know this no laughing matter. He's big and strong! A stern look is enough to get me back on course. Luckily, I

Ok I think this will be my last post on dosas. Not that I have had enough of them. Believe me, in my dictionary there is no such word like No for Dosas. But I have to consider my family too right. Every other day, they are subjected to different versions and each one is highly treated with great expectations of the end result. Let me tell you one thing, all the different varieties that I have tried have all turned out to be simply delicious! I come to the conclusion that anything and everything on or in the dosa, will taste great!For the record, I have posted 28 dosas till date and about 13 after the mela announcement. I feel bad that I couldn't make more. But then of course, I now have so many varieties to try and make it 101 varieties! Coming to these varieties, I finally did what I was

My friend Lily is moving away so I had to send her off with a treat. I love mini cupcakes and I love giving mini cupcakes. So, I decided on an apple/carrot spice flavor but you can't taste the apple so I'm calling them Carrot Spice Cupcakes. I am so impressed with this recipe, as a first try. I would only change one thing, remove the nuts. The texture of the cupcakes is so light and tender that the crunch of nuts seems not to fit in. I will definitely be making these again (sans nuts).Mini Carrot Spice Cupcakes~makes about 40 mini cupcakes2 eggs, lightly beaten1 cups white sugar1/3 cup packed light brown sugar1/2 cup vegetable oil1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 cups shredded carrots1/2 cup packed shredded apple1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1 1/2 teasp

Ten years after Brown v Board of Education II the south was still deeply committed to incrementalism - an intentional and illegal foot-dragging - that was announced in 1955 when 101 of 128 southern legislators signed the Southern Manifesto and declared they would not follow the Supreme court ruling.Not unlike George W. Bush - Lyndon B. Johnson, another of America's Texas presidents, used the political capital he possessed following the assassination of John F Kennedy to drive the political agenda as far to the left as he could. After 911, W headed right.Part of Johnson's effort was to put some meaning into the Supreme Court's words - "all deliberate speed." To accomplish desegregation in the muleish south, Johnson thought it was necessary to use a two-pronged attack; a "carrot and stick."

TWO things that you can find a lot of in Portland, Ore., are vegans and strip clubs. Johnny Diablo decided to open a business to combine both. At his Casa Diablo Gentlemen’s Club, soy protein replaces beef in the tacos and chimichangas; the dancers wear pleather, not leather. Many are vegans or vegetarians themselves.But Portland is also home to a lot of young feminists, and some are not happy with Mr. Diablo’s venture. Since he opened the strip club last month, their complaints have been “all over the Internet,” he said. “One of them came in here once. I could tell she had an attitude right when she came in. She was all hostile.”Mr. Diablo isn’t concerned with the “feminazis,” as he calls them. As a vegan himself, he says he hasn’t worn or eaten animal products in

Happy Easter! In honor of bunnies, lets talk about carrots. We were watching Alton Brown the other night and he mentioned that carrots and cumin were cousins. Wow, never would've thought, but I looked it up, and apparently carrots are in the Umbelliferae family along with dill, caraway, parsnips, parsley, anise, and cumin. Parsnips do look like white carrots, and I guess the tops of carrots do look like parsley, but the rest is quite surprising.Carrots and cumin go really well together so here's a easy carrot salad that's meant to be served as an accompaniment to grilled meats. The sour quality is especially good with spicy meat.Carrot Ribbons1 tablespoon red wine vinegar1/2 teaspoon cumin1 teaspoon honey2 teaspoons olive oil2 cups carrot ribbons (make ribbons with a peeler)1/4 cup thinly

Diplomacy is all about perceptions. In the last two years the US have been cajoling, admonishing and even sometimes threatening Syria to change its behavior in regards to Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq. Until now all that has failed... I think the US failed on that front because the Syrian are convinced that the US can only do the talking but not the acting, especially in few of the Iraqi quagmire the US is struggling with in Iraq –although the surge seems to be working-. Therefore sending a couple of warships to sail close by the Lebanese-Syrian shores is a step in the right direction. But, and I stress, it is only one step! If the US is serious with behavior change in Syria they need to up the pressure and show a “bigger stick”. Searching ships bound to Syria in International w

I sort of made this recipe up myself. Knowing that carrot and coriander go well together, but not having an exact recipe I just made it up as I went along. The result was not bad at all if I do say so myself. I added in a splash of orange juice with this soup, just to take a little bit of the sweetness of the carrots away. I always use the stalks of the coriander as well as the leaves, as there is a lot of flavour in these too.Ingredients1 tablespoon olive oil8 large carrots1 small potato1/2 onion1 clove garlic1 tsp dried coriander500 mL vegetable stock1 tsp cumin1 tsp hot curry powder1 handful fresh coriander - stalks and leaves included.1 dash orange juiceChop the onion and garlic and fry in the oil until soft.

This is another one of those recipes that I've wanted to make for a long time, but have somehow never got around to it. A few times, I've gone to the shop with the express reason of getting the ingredients, only to find there wasn't any nice looking Fresh Coriander, and so have ended up buying a couple of Leeks and Potatoes and making that soup instead.I don't ever remember having this soup as a child, so couldn't just steal my mum's recipe on this one. In fact, I think the first time I ever tried this soup was when a friend had a carton of the Covent Garden Soup Company version in the fridge. Searching for a recipe on Google revealed lots of different variations on ingredients and preparation methods. A lot of the more 'British' sounding recipes seemed to keep things relatively simple

Lol have you guys seen this gem?From Eureka, courtesy of the sugar Bureau:Carrot cake study on sugar in type 2 diabetesNew study adds to new thinking on sugar in the diabetes dietPatients with type 2 diabetes are often advised to cut out sucrose (table sugar) all together. However, in recent years this traditional advice has been questioned by some researchers who suggest that moderate amounts of sugar can be safely consumed as part of the diet of patients with diabetes. Now a new study has been published that is consistent with this revised approach. It showed that patients who increased their daily sugar intake (in the form of carrot cake) but maintained a stable body weight, showed no adverse changes in their blood glucose.The study was conducted by the Department of Nutrition and Diete

Turkey's Carrot & Stick Approach to the PKK - December 2007 After months of warnings, reconnaissance flights, cross-border artillery barrages, and forays by smaller numbers of ground troops, Turkey's air forces carried out a bombing attack on the headquarters of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) early on December 16th. The raid represents the "stick" side of the two-pronged Turkish policy effort mounted in recent weeks, an effort that holds the promise of success after several years of enduring PKK...(read more)

BY STEVE ROGERS Arkansas Democrat Gazette Roger Penske's NASCAR teams were at the brink of a Nextel Cup title again this season. But when you drive for Penske, anything short of a championship is considered failure. "There was considerable improvement this season with both of our Cup teams," Penske said. "But the carrot is out there for all of the teams, not just ours. And that's the championship" Penske, who will speak at 11 a.m. today during the annual meeting of the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Statehouse Convention Center, owns two Cup teams, including the No. 12 driven by Ryan Newman and carries primary sponsorship by Little Rock-based Alltel. Penske's racing teams are a part of the Penske Corporation, a transportation services company whose segments include retail automotive, truck leasing, transportation logistics and transportation component manufacturing. First entering the NASCAR ranks in 1972, Penske has fielded full-time Cup teams since

With the advent of new technology, we have gadgets taking over most of our tedious work, and pretty soon we might see robots made to think like humans and take decisions like us, probably start having feelings like us too!! That would mean a scary world to me, and I'll keep praying they can't give the sense of taste and smell to these machines; at least that will keep chefs like us into business, right??!! But seriously, just try to imagine cooking something in the kitchen without a mixer, grinder or a food processor or our favorite microwave, especially in countries like USA. Seems weird, right! And yet, when you come to think of it, there are so many people who cook great food without using any of these fancy appliances; So, when easycrafts announced a "Powerless Cooking" event, it gave me a chance to reflect upon how less we used such kitchen gadgets back in India! It's not only an energy-saving concept, but also induces the chef in you to challenge yourself once in a while to co

Well last night i didn’t dream of my ex… I dreamed of my ex boyfriend from back in the mid 1990s. Wow. I still talk to him once in a while, which is really nice. He’s a good person. It was really odd… I was at this sort of conference meeting type thing, not for work, personal. And there were a bunch of people and we were all hooking up for maybe a relationship or maybe sex. There was a thing where a group of people would stand up and then find someone they wanted to get to know better. I kinda knew one woman there, blond, cute, and we decided to pair up. We didn’t end up having sex though, I think she was straight, though I told the people I was Bi (which I am). Anyway moving away from that there was a water scene too. There were tubs of water and my ex boyfriend was in one of them, and he kept turning into a carrot snake. More of a carrot than a snake, but he was long and orange and could move around like a snake. He kept hiding from the world and

Cake is a troublesome thing. On one hand it is powerfully nostalgic: we remember a grandmother's cake, we mark each birthday with...cake. Yet recently I had decided that cake rarely satisfied relative to all of its fat and calories. For me, it wasn't a wise indulgence. I believe that desserts are perfectly compatible with a healthy lifestyle, but that means I seek desserts that have a huge taste

By: Adam In this article the aim is to tell you about the benefits of carrot juice in your diet, and how this somewhat bland vegetable can be one of the many that can help you loose weight and at the same time fight off illness and disease.Some times in life the benefits of some foods are not apparent as we do our weekly shop, and it’s so easy to spend money on vitamin supplements, and foods especially prepared for diets when a far superior alternative is staring us in the face.The subject of diets can be confusing to say the least, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re counting points, calories, or just generally just cutting back on your food intake. Each person has their own view which is best, and what I’m talking about here with the benefits of carrot juice in your diet will probably not suit everyone’s taste.My theory behind the use of carrot juice comes from medical research. They have proved that it’s the food we eat that causes many of today’s many diseases. As th

Carrots are the best food to help purify your blood. And though they are wonderful to be eaten raw, there's nothing more fulfilling than cooking them with milk and dry fruits in the form of a dessert! Yes, Carrot Halwa, or "Gaajar ka halwa" is a very popular dessert and I'm sure anyone who's ever been to an Indian restaurant would have left with sweet memories about it!! And what's more encouraging is the fact that it is indeed very simple and quick to cook; you can even make it in a microwave!! So try this healthy recipe for a quick satiation of your sweet tooth.Ingredients4 cups carrots - shredded2 cups sugar2 1/2 cups whole milk or khoya1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)1-2 tsp cardamom powder1/2 cup dry fruits - pistachio,almonds,cashews-chopped or sliveredMethodTake a heavy saucepan and add the ghee to it.

I promise you that I’ve not become obsessed. I know I just recently wrote about a health warning for carrots grown in Mexico that were making people sick because they’d been watered with sewage. Here I am, writing about le Caca again. It’s not my fault. Honest. “Police have recovered the black, 9-mm Smith & Wesson pistol stolen from the Elvis After Dark exhibit at Graceland, Presley’s Memphis estate, amid last week’s anniversary celebrations. The theft was brought to the attention of authorities on Friday, after a fan noticed that a glass panel was unfastened. Surveillance cameras showed a man removing the pistol from the display case around midnight on Aug. 14. After seeing news reports of the theft, custodial worker Travis Brookins turned the gun over to police. Brookins told officers that he was cleaning portable toilets behind the exhibit hall last Thursday when he found the gun in the muck. Unaware where the gun had come from, he took it hom

Don't look so excited to be here. Frankly, I'm not sure what you're doing back here or where we're going to put you. Yes, you've done a nice job at AAA (.331/.407/.977), but, in my opinion, Felix Pie has done a much better job (.371/.414/1.007), and we actually have a position for him. Never has my goodwill towards a player tanked as quickly as it did with you. And it's all your fault. I'm willing to give you another chance, but if I see balls bouncing over your head out there or any weak-ass ground balls from you, we're through. Apparently you brought Rocky with you. He can stay, as he has a cool name and Scott Eyre sucks and he gets cool injuries like "strained lats." No word yet on who the Cubs will send down.* (*I just had a happy thought. What if Cedeno goes down? Oooooohhhhh. I'm all tingley just thinking about it.)

There is this story I tell my daughter on Bunny Rabbit. I am not sure if I can get the correct mood for it while I am explaining it in English, read on if you have the patience, else scroll down to the recipe.The story goes something like this..There was once this town, within which there was a forest. In that forest lived a tiny little rabbit called bunny rabbit. Next to this bunny rabbit's house there was a carrot field. Every morning, bunny rabbit gets up and peeps out of his window to look at the carrot. The field will be full of carrot. Out it rushes to brush his teeth and jumps out of the window to eat all the carrots. Now this farmer was very angry because everyday his crop is eaten by this naughty rabbit.One day he decides to stay put on his field hoping to catch his rabbit. He has a big stick and stands near the entrance. Bunny rabbit wakes up and as routine peeps out of the window. Ohh!, he gets a shock seeing the farmer. He thinks!!..what shall I do??.

Who doesn’t remember this phrase from television a few years back: “Call me now for ya’ free readin’”, ahh good ol’ Miss Cleo. Well, our fake-Jamaican-phone-psychic-entrepreneur is back and this time, she’ll join a pretty zany cast on VH1 for The Surreal Life: Though VH1 has not made an official announcement on the air date and casting for Season 7 of the popular reality series featuring a group of “has beens”, “have beens”, “have really beens” and “still ares” (in the case of poker brat Phil Hellmuth), both Phil Hellmuth and Professional Wrestler Randy Savage have announced the casting. “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Dabney Coleman, Nikki McKibbin, Miss Cleo, Carrot Top, and Phil Hellmuth are all slated to appear. It sounds great already, what a tight cast. Perhaps Macho Man will beat up Carrot Top and we can watch repeats of that shit over, and over and over. I’m voting he yel

Although I have made carrot bread in the past, I have never used my bread machine, nor yeast to do so. It's a concept that is interesting, but yet seems strange to me since I think of carrot bread as a 'quick' bread. Surfing the internet one night a few months ago I came across this one and copied it down for future use. Time has gotten away from me and I've not managed to make it yet,

Just a quickie post. Here's a great and easy recipe for carrot cupcakes! Instead of using the all time standard cream cheese icing, I used mascarpone.

WHEN I'm out in public and see children misbehaving, I take a moment to watch how their parents react. Typically, they threaten them with a spanking or a timeout when they get home or get frustrated and yell at their children. I've never been a fan of punishing children with these tactics, though I'll defend your right to do so. Instead, I've taken the approach of taking the things they seem to care about most away (which constantly changes) and explain to them how their actions led to this decision. At home, I rarely have to resort to this tactic as my children and I seem to have a mutual respect for each other, but every now and then I have to remove their video game, bike riding or playtime privileges. I'm also a proponent of making each additional punishment longer. In public, I usually offer my children a snack or time at the playground after my errands are finished. Usually this is enough to keep them well-behaved, but every now and then they don't heed my calm warnin

After waiting for volume 3 to be released, we couldn't find it anywhere on their

So, how do you turn a Radish to a Carrot? Well, you dip it in curry! *bleh*My son loves Japanese Curry and since we haven't had that for a long time (it meant my hubby had not went away for business trip for a while too), I thought I'll just cook that. I came out with this silly riddle to ask my son. Guess what he said. "You didn't make the Radish long enough lah. Don't look like Radish cannot guess." *duh*After he took a bite, he told me, his carrot (he had dipped it in his curry) had turned into an egg. I was a little confused till he said, "See, that's egg yolk I'm eating!" Hahaha! He was referring to the meat ball I stuffed inside the 'Radish-Carrot'. Wah, that gives me another idea for his next meal! Great!In case you are wondering what the Radish was, it was meat ball, which was a combination of minced pork, fish paste and chopped Broccoli, shaped into a ball, stuffed into a rice ball and topped with blanched Broccoli. The curry was cooked from instant Japanese Curry Mix

Actually, this is not one of my favourite dishes because I am not too partial over turnips. But it is quite frequently cooked by mum and I remembered I used to have Stir-Fried Turnip with Carrot and Dried Prawns often for lunch (with plain porridge) during school days. It is, however, a very simple recipe to cook and relatively cheap as well. You probably won’t need a whole turnip unless you are cooking for a few people in one go. The dish tastes a blend of sweetish and salty with a hint of dried prawns which can be fragrant to some but offensive to those who are unaccustomed to this ingredient. You can actually use dried cuttlefish strips in replacement of or in addition to the dried prawns. (more…) Share This
