It was only recently that I have heard of lactation cookies. I did not know that mothers with newborn babies could actually boost their milk yield to feed the babies by eating cookies…! This is indeed a very interesting and new concept that made me curious enough not just to read up more about it, but also to give it a try myself.
Reading this book was almost like watching a movie. Every single paragraph described an action-packed scenario; almost every verb was an action verb. This book is certainly a page-turner. Thanks to the guy who recommended this book to me, reading ‘Lone Survivor‘ not only helped to kill my time at home while I was waiting out for the BIG day, it also gave me a better understanding of how life is like working as a Navy SEAL in the United States.
Bird’s nest soup is considered an expensive delicacy among the Chinese. Bird’s nest itself is a gelatinous texture made up of cave swifts’ saliva, hardened into the shape of a shallow cup that forms their nests. These bird species and nests are endemic to the caves in various parts of Malaysia, Indonesia and China and exported mainly to the Chinese communities in other parts of the world such as Hong Kong, Singapore and even the United States of America.
I’ve been seeing this recipe for a while on Pinterest recently. The name of this pastry is enough to catch my attention – ‘Pigs in a blanket‘? Where’s the pig? Why would pigs need blankets unless they sleep in air-conditioned rooms? And why plural for ‘pigs‘ and singular for ‘blankets‘? Do pigs know how to share?

Brave New World is a story which describes a fictitious utopian world that is unimaginable yet faintly possible given the technologies available to the ruling powers of that time. It is a world where human beings are created, literally, by an existing authority right from the beginning; a place where people grow up with an extremely skewed perspective of how the world should be like. Neither do these ‘products’ of society have an opportunity to learn about any other world views, nor do they ever come across any experiences deemed as negative, because their paths of life are already decided for them before birth. As such, they grow up to become happy and contented beings with what they have been prescribed for life.
