"Look who's back       Back again.." -eminem- Yes, I'm back! Back tapping the letters :) Since last Ramadhan I've been consuming honey regularly every morning and Alhamdulillah (praise to Allah) my asthma is very well in control. I'm no longer depending on Symbicort ( a drug recommended by Brother 1) and Ventolin is just on standy. But since honey is my breakfast, the inhaler is just as part of my handbag fillers, perhaps its beyond the expiry date ( I should check on that).  #1: Why did I choose honey?        -Because it was part of the sunnahs.        - The last time I had really bad attacks (everyday!!!) honey was the most effective reliever.  #2: Why did I start consuming it again?       - Because its part of sunnah :)          (am I repeating my answer??)               - Since I heard the book by a reverter on "...

Since Ma & Abah left for Umrah, I had to take over the kitchen. Preparing meals was never bored to me. I enjoyed playing in the kitchen, mixing up spices which I have no idea what the taste would turn out...and serve them to my brothers =) So,  I've been the chef in these few days and I could see lotsa leftover food to be taken care of- especially rice. Hmm..they don't eat as much rice as they did nowadays, everyone is trying hard to cut down the calories. As for that, I've been Googling and asking around some friends and relatives on ideas to reuse the cooked rice. We don't want to waste food, do we? When the other end of the world is starving, waiting for people to send them some healthy food. Note: Before cooking, it is important to assure that the leftover rice is still safe to eat. How? By the colour, smell and taste. Below are 3 simple recipes that we can try out to save from wasting our precious rice. Recipe #1 : Rice Porridge Google for recipe ...
