STARBUCKS PURE COFFEE AROMA

Let me take a break from writing serious articles, I just came home, have my two tall of Starbucks Frappuccino courtesy of HSBC (The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation). I never knew that there was a promo 'til June of 2010, that whenever you purchase something using the HSBC credit card for a certain amount, you get a tall Starbucks coffee of your choice. They send me SMS about the promo. Luckily I updated my contact information.

I love coffee if it's free. Even coffee is bad for my health since I have hormonal migraine (doctors does not advice coffee to people like me), I would love to take this opportunity to try the newest flavor of Starbucks (Java Chip Frappucino) and my all time favorite Strawberries and Creme Frap (which I gave to my mom since she is using my extension card).

Do you wonder why Starbucks coffee shop has a pure relaxing coffee aroma? (I love the smell, very addicting). One source told me (a friend of mine), that whenever Starbucks hired you as a crew, you are not allowed to use any type of perfume or cologne (Ridiculous though, if you want to smell good and smell fresh), but this is an excellent way of maintaining relaxing ambiance. How about the customers? We know for sure that they used perfume? Simple logic, they don't stay long in the coffee shop.

Anyway I would love to have more freebies from HSBC, I'm hoping next time they will give me free laptop, so that I can write whenever I go (especially at Starbucks since they have free WI-FI). *Wink*

Storing fruits and vegetables

Credit to pngpix.com Storing fruits and vegetables is one of the biggest problem I had . As a busy mom, I usually buy fruits and vegetables once in a week. But after a few days, these veggies and fruits are already a waste of money. When the time that I want to cook them it's already rotten. How sad... and I end up cooking nothing but meat :( So I came to research what are the best way to store fruits and veggies that could last longer. One golden rule is never store fruits and vegetable together. The acidity of the fruit makes the veggies rot faster. Apple - Store them in the coolest part of the fridge. Celery, carrots, and cabbage - pack them in plastic, some use foil but you have to consume it as soon as possible. And with carrots some cut the leafy part of it, cause that's the part that rot fast. I tried cutting the carrots in cubes and putting them in the freezer, that should work for a week. Eggplant - Usually I put them inside the fridge, but not now. You h...

Healthy food for picky toddlers

Carrot and Potato Mix Talking about healthy food for toddler? Here's a super cool idea that would let you feed them with veggies without them knowing it. Here's the recipe: Small size carrot Medium size potatoe Half of onion 3 gloves of garlic 1 egg 2 tbsp. of all purpose flour (I'm using Magnolia ) Oil for frying (I preferred corn oil) Grind black pepper (I'm using McCormick ) Pinch of salt Process: 1. Use a shredder for carrots and potato, I preferred the one with small holes since it will be more refined. Don't forget to peel before doing this. 2. Add salt, garlic, onion and pepper. For kids, use powdered pepper. I used grind pepper here since I'm feeding an adult :) Mr. Hubby. You can also shred the onion and garlic. 3. You will notice that water will appear as soon as you mixed the ingredients, don't drain them, the vitamins are there. Add the flour, then add the egg and mix all. 4. Let it settle for 5 to 10 minutes. 5....
