Happy Tuesday!

To all my visitors for today, hope you have a nice sunny and warm Tuesday! Let's rejoice for it's such a beautiful day out there. Mr. Sun is up and I am glad. I definitely would do something fun out there today like walking around the village and perhaps kite flying!

Depressing Weather

It has been raining since yesterday. I thought it was going to be sunny today but it got worse this day. So dark, kind of cool, windy and still raining. So depressing when we have a weather like this. I don't feel like doing anything inside the house too.

I got a basket full of dirty clothes waiting on me, floor to sweep and kitchen to clean. I haven't started any of these chores because I feeeel so lazy right now. All I wanna do is snuggle in bed all day, eat, computer and watch t.v. Does anyone out there wanna help me with my chores? Raise your right foot!

Red Bloom

The only color ( aside from green leaves and trees ) that can be seen in our backyard so far is this flowering tree that I don't know its name. Despite of the heavy snow couple of weeks ago that didn't stop this tree from blooming.

When I go out there, all I could notice first are these red flowers with plenty of bees lingering around. Jadyn loves getting near this tree too and I am scared she might get stung by bees if I let her play alone near it.

Nutritional Benefits of Cauliflower

My parents did a good job in training me to eat vegetables. I grew up loving the vegetables. I can eat almost all kinds of veggies. One of my faves is the cauliflower, although I have never tried eating this while in the Philippines for it is too expensive for us but I love it! Aside from the pretty appearance of the vegetable it also taste kind of sweet. Not only that, it nutritional benefits that help fight diseases like prostate cancer and helps prevent anemia. Good thing I do home cooking a lot and once in a while I can just include cauliflower in our dish.

Below are some information that we can get by eating cauliflower. Read on and be informed.

Cauliflower is a vegetable that is many times overlooked. It is a member of the cruciferous family
, a family which is known for containing nutrients that fight against several diseases.

There are two main ingredients in cauliflower, and all of the cruciferous family, that are the main disease
fighters. These are indole-3-carbinol, or 13C, and the photonutrient sulforaphane. In research done at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, sulforaphane lowered the occurance of breast tumors in lab animals by almost 40%. Toxins that would normally damage the cells and turn cancerous, are swept out of the system by sulforaphane, preventing tumors before they begin. 13C works in concert with the sulforaphane by acting as an anti-estrogen. Estrogen in high levels is known to foster tumor growth, especially in the breasts and the prostate glands. 13c helps to lower the estrogen count, thus lowering the chances of tumor growth.

Cauliflower also contains vitamin C and folate. Folate helps the blood work more efficiently and is often recommended for preventing anemia. Folate is also essential for proper tissue growth and not getting enough can make you succeptible to many diseases down the road such as cancer and heart disease.

Tuna Kinilaw

Photo above is my kinilaw, the time I took this photo was when I was still throwing some of the ingredients in the bowl...

I've been craving for kinilaw (fish in vinegar with spices) these days, any kind of kinilaw as long as I can get to taste and smell the spices that is mixed with the fish. Since there is no fresh fish that I can make into kinilaw, I chose to use tuna to satisfy my craving. Good enough I went to my friend's house last Sunday and she drove me to the store where Tuna steaks are available. So nice of her!

Tuna steaks aren't cheap. It costs almost 8 dollars or more per steak yet I still bought 3 because I know it's gonna be a while before I can eat frozen tuna again. I just thaw it and make tuna kinilaw then I'm good to go!

The 6-Year Old Gift

The gift on the picture is six years old already waiting for its owner to be opened. This is a birthday gift for Paloma from my husband which was sent last '04 and it was returned to sender. I hope that someday when the young girl decides to meet her daddy she will know that her dad tried to communicate with her as well as her little sister. Proof are the gifts complete with package and label in which they were addressed to. Give us three years and by that time, Paloma will be 18, old enough to decide herself, old enough to realize that their daddy never forgotten them.

The Bachelor Finale

So the famous bachelor Jake Pavelka chose THE SPICY VIENNA over Sweet Tenley? I didn't like Vienna for him personally but who am I to dictate him who he wants to be with? I am just a silly show viewer who happened to dislike Vienna since the beginning. I really don't care about them now that the show is over. It's their life and they are none of my business. But my point of blogging this is that I just want to rant how blind the guy is. Idol ko pa naman siya.

I bet they will just be another unsuccessful couple who couldn't make it to the happy ending just like Matt and Shayne, Deanna and Jesse for they have different intentions as to why they joined the show. Jake, you could have chosen the WRONG GIRL!! I feel pity for you and I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow you'll tell the tabloid that you're no longer together eh!! It will be too late for you to know what you got is a FAKER!!!
