Beating The Heat!

Today is mom's birthday. We decided to celebrate it at the water park 15 minutes away from home. But the celebrant preferred to eat, and never swam, lol! We enjoyed the water as there was no crowd yet. The coolness and serenity of the pool calmed me and cooled me down due to the heat!
We enjoyed a picnic beside the pool as well...it wasn't easy having a swim without a food...didn't know swimming can drain your energy and makes you hungry from time to time..ugh!

The DO's & DONT's For Grilling

You can be a pro when it comes to BBQing without going to a formal school! :) It's just a matter of getting aware of the do's and dont's that you should follow when you're on the grill.

The DO's:

As you start placing your meat on the grill at a diagonal angle on the grill grates, time your turns. Wait for 2 minutes before you turn the meat in a quarter-turn clockwise manner. Wait another 2 minutes then flip and repeat on the other side.

During the last 10% of your cooking time, apply on liquid glazes on your meat. If you put it too early, they will turn your food into a charred mess!

Have enough reserve of ready-to-go briquettes as a ready replenishment for your charcoal fire to enable you to keep grilling at a desired temperature longer.

Segregate your skewers like for instance when you make kebabs, place one type of food on each skewer, such as onions on one, meat on another and so on..this is to cook the food in perfection. This will also make the meat achieve a more roasty flavor.

When your fish breaks into clean flakes, it means it's done.

Give the meat time, at least 3 minutes for smaller ones, and 10-15 minutes for bigger cuts after removing them from the grill to allow the juice to redistribute evenly. If you slice it right away, all of its flavors will run unto the cutting board.

The DONT's:

Don't forget to marinate your food. It's good to marinate them in a mixture that contains yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar/wine that helps tenderize the meat and fat like vegetable or olive oil which can help them moist during the grilling.
Place fish, shelllfish and small pieces of chicken meat in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes; chicken breasts-1-2 hours; thick steak-4 hours; and overnight for big cuts like pork shoulder, prime rib, brisket, etc...

Avoid overcrowding. Give spaces for food evenly on the grill - at least 2-3 fingers width in between.

Avoid flattening the food using a spatula which can cause the tasty juices to come out.

Don't overdo the ribs to the extent of almost falling off the bone. They are best if there's a bit to chew left to them. They are ready when they can be torn apart with your fingers.

Avoid burning the skewers by resting the exposed ends on a piece of foil folded 3 times and placed on the grill.

A Tub of Distinction!

Have you ever thought or imagined having a bath tub at home that you consider distinctive? Many still prefer having one at home that has exciting design making it more unique and attractive. 

 I saw many designs of them in various hotels I and my husband would go to when we are on travel. Each hotel reflects their own uniqueness by their choice of bath tubs I guess, because I see different designs and sizes from the classical ones to modern ones. 

 I still find claw footed tub cute! They have various styles that reflects their classical designs from the old era to more modern styles, and they can still be durable with their high quality designs. I think I would recommend them if friends would be looking for one.

Give Your Skin A TLC It Deserves!

Skin can be very reactive as the temperature and season changes. Our skin needs a little extra care especially during the cooler months. As we approach the cold season, less humidity in the air becomes more common and thus our skin would feel drier.

If you want to know if your skin really needs a moisturizer, wait 30 minutes after washing your face. And if it doesn't feel tight, skip the moisturizer. Watch out for flakes during the cooler season. Eczema or seborrheic dermatitis are often misdiagnosed at cosmetic counters, then they give you a dry skin product which can cause a more harmful reaction. Instead, call your dermatologist.

For skin caused by bug bites, they can leave your skin with annoying hyperpigmentation marks that would take longer before they fade. Here are some tips to care for skin caused by bug bites:

Put an antibiotic ointment and keep it covered with bandage for at least 2 weeks. Apply some ice to decrease inflammation.
Apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream to the affected area to avoid scratching.

Chairs For Worship

It always help to have a comfortable worship seating while in church, don't you think? A sanctuary should be a good place to relax while meditating and praying as well as convenient to be at while focusing on our worship activities and fellowship with others.

A good church should also be a place for durability and comfort when it comes to chairs. Just imagine a case scenario where there are no chairs around! And if you think about chairs, don't settle for ones that don't last long. Better yet get ones that are worth the money.
