Chili Chili Chili

The humble Chili Pepper.
Related to the Capsicum. The smaller the Chili, the hotter. The larger,the milder, These ones were so hot, that the spray from when they were cut up, got in the eyes and they were running for ages. The Chili is great in Chinese Stir-fry, Spaghetti, Soups, Stews, Casseroles, Sauce, Dipping Sauce, Salads, Rice dishes, Pies and just about anything. Chili is good taken when one has a cold (Cleans out the sinus). I know people who eat them straight raw and love them. Chili can be dried, and used later on. Chili can be grown in the backyard vege garden but is suseptable to frost. So protect those little chili plants. CHILIES......I LOVE 'em.

puddy's paw

For years we made cat jokes by the bucket load...dim sim, puddy stew etc and enjoyed the show when puddy got chased out of the yard by a dog, or when puddy ran across the road and just missed being skittled. We thought it was hilarious. But now the tables are turned, and we own our own little puddy. She is the closest thing to man's best friend. She loves one regardless of ones looks or who one is etc, she is trustworthy with food in the kitchen and doesnt wreck the furniture. She is loyal and can even tell the time (time for breakfast, time for a walk, time for tea, and yes even time for bed) So now that we own a puddy all the cat jokes are gone, and we are really glad we have her.

Blood Glorious Blood

Well I saw on another blog (wonder who's it was)!!! that someone else gave blood as well. Well it didn't hurt at all and the staff were really nice. It took only about 20 mins, to do, that was coz the donor didn't drink the required amount of fluid prior to donating, otherwise it would have been shorter. Apparantly around 30% of donated blood goes to cancer patients, and there is not enough blood to go around. So if one has a spare half hour and is elegible to donate, I can highly recommend this practice. And a cup of coffee, drink of juice and bickies are the reward for our efforts.
