Health Benefits Of Being Vegetarian

A vegan friend asked me this morning if I ever want to be a vegan. I told her I do not know. In spite of being an omnivorous myself I acknowledge and aware of the benefits of vegetarian diet.
Research from all over the world has corroborated the health benefits of vegetarian and non re-processed diet.
These include :
1. Reduction of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol level
2. Reduction of cancer risk including colon cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer.
3. Reduction of diet-related diabetes and hypertension.
4. Reduction of health problems related to obesity.
5. Minimising the development of kidney and gall stones.
6. Minimising the development of osteoporosis through high dietary acidity and calcium loss in
urine.
7. Minimising the chances of food poisoning
8. Avoid consuming too many dairy products because they are difficult to digest abd can cause allergic symptoms such as asthma and eczema (itchiness on the skin)
Of course besides these, there are other long lists to practise for a healthier life style eg Fasting & Detoxification, Cooking Utensils & Methods, Antioxidants etc which i shall blog some other day.

Soya Bean Milk

With a soya bean maker, one just has to put the required bean in the maker and switch on the button. The soya bean milk is ready in 20 mins. As I prefer black sugar syrup, I have to make the syrup
Syrup :
150 gm palm sugar
200 soft brown sugar
200 gm granulated sugar
1 small cup of water
3 pandan leaves
1 small pc of ginger.
Bring all the ingredients to a boil and simmer till sugar has dissolved. Ready to use

Vegetarian Porridge

Today I choose vegetarian porridge for its simplicity and nutrients. There are several variants of vegetarian porridge depending on one's choice of ingredients.
Recipes : A handful of the followings:
ginger
lemon grass,
tang ho
tao miow
dry mushroom
abalone mushroom,
golden needle mushroom
carrot
black fungus
yellow capsicum
mint leaves
green chilies
red bean
rice
Cut and slice the vegetables as shown in the picture above. First you cook red bean and rice. Followed by the mushrooms, capsicum, carrot. Only when it is almost cook, only you put in the tang ho and tao miow (russel sprout). Serve with green chillies in light soya sauce.

While waiting for the porridge to cook I wipe my living hall. It took me to change 5 pails of water to really clean the living hall alone as I do not wash it frequently. Very dirty. Rest for a short while. Then just in time for the porridge to be ready for lunch. Half day is over as the clock strike one now.

My Wish

My wish for tonight is for the time to stand still. I don't want tomorrow to come because I love today too much to let it go. Today is good enough for me. Tomorrow is unknown. I hate tomorrow to come or more accurate to say tomorrow is too fill with anxiety. I hate guessing. I hate suspense. I hate challenge. My favorite time of the day is always after 6:00 pm everyday. How I wish there is way to make the time for the night longer than the time for the day. I want to cling and hold on to tonight. Who the bugger invented time??

Example of Irritation

Irritation comes in many forms and sometimes continuosly.

1. Very fed up with the Maxis/Hotlink operators who are unable to assist me to switch my plan to ExtraSave. Called 3 of them none has the knowledge. The last one told me the plan start with effect from 21/4/09. My present plan is the old expensive plan which I want to change to another cheaper plan. I have let it pass by for some time because I seldom call.
2. On my way to toilet I step on a cockcroach. Then I will have to wipe the place and also washed my feet. It is very smelly. What a "bull shit" coincident. Sometimes when I want to catch it , it ran so fast away. To nite I step on it accidentally.

Butter Cake

By request from colleagues who miss my butter cake. I bake one for them today. The reasons they like my cake is that I use pure butter and not the imitation butter Farmcow or Buttercup. There is a big difference in the flavour here. There are already lots of blogs regarding butter cake recipes therefore I will not be writing it.
