The Lime Experiment...

Lately my deodorant got finished and been the kind of spender I can be, I forgot to plan towards buying it, my money for toiletries had finished.

What was I going to do?

For the records, I'm on the big side, No chubby side (please don't call me fat...its actually an offense in the Nigerian constitution. Forgotten what section that is now...lolz). Anyways, because of my size,it meant I sweat a lot and my armpit produces bulk of that sweat.
What that invariably means is it smells most times( that a nice word to describe the odour that it produces). it made me fill a bit uncomfortable when I have to do something that involves meeting people on a sunny day.

I had to find a solution before I got my next deodorant. And I found me a solution.

LIME!!!

Yes lime! Because of the level of acidity that it has,it actually kills the bacteria that comes out from your armpit. Its actually the bacteria that produces the smell. So you still sweat, but you don't smell. Get a lime, cut it into two and rub under your armpit or better still squeeze out the juice from it and apply under your armpit. I know you would be wondering, lime ker? Yes lime. Thank God for natural solutions(I actually hailed God again when I found out this answer)
But If you're still not sure, check out this site: http://bodyunburdened.com/lime-experiment or better still just google it and thank me later.

So the next time you are in my kind of 'finished deodorant can't buy now' situation, get you some lime cut in half and rub in your armpit and trust me,it works WELL!!!

A little warning though,it might sting if you just shaved but aside that, you are good to go.

So what are you waiting for! Go try it out.

For most of us,like former me, our idea of fish is limited to the very popular ones like Tilapia, Catfish( I actually love this one to pieces especially when used to prepare spicy peppersoup in a cold day, you know what I'm saying .lol), Scubian, Shark(people actually eat it oh!) Mackerel and a couple of other.

However I would like to introduce you to a very fascinating type of fish.
Its called HORSE FISH.
Allow me show you some of its amazing qualities

1. It is the male that bears the unborn babies. Yeah you just read that! When the male and female mate, the female deposits her eggs in the pounch(acts like a womb) of the male and the male carries them and 'delivers' them when its time.

Weird right? Wait for No. 2

2. They mate for life. Only one partner for life, no girlfriend, no side chicks. Lolz. They practice monogamy to its core.

3. With their tiny little fins that is used in swimming they flutter 35times in a second. Wow!!!! And as if that is not enough here comes the shocker

4. They swim upright rather than horizontally.
And also they have independently moving eyes.
Wow!!! That's my idea of CRAZY!!! God is simply AWEsome... The way he made these creatures,its fascinating!!!

And oh so you would know, some people actually eat this fish. Yeah! They do. In fact according to ehow.com, they say humans are the largest threats to this creatures. In Asia, they use it for cooking and as an ingredient for medicine.

So now you know!!!
Next time you go to a restaurant, you might want to order you some Horse fish. #winks.

Food SenSe

I came across a food recipe from the bible when I was studying recently and I would love to share it with you. Its gotten from the book of John 10 vs 22, in case you don't know what it says let me share:
"It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of HANUKKAH, the festival of Dedication (emphasis mine) (New Living Translation)
And naturally, my curiosity got the better part of me so I decided to find out what HANUKKAH meant and VIOLA!!!! I discovered a very interesting and yet simple dish prepared during that feast.

Its called LATKES...its made with potato and since this is potato season, you may want to try it out.

You would love it. I tried it out and it turned out great, really great! My over picky 2year old boy couldn't get enough of it.

So here is what you would need and how its done.

INGRIDIENTS:
(1) 6 large potatoes
(P.S. You can start with one for trial first to see how it turns out before you proceed on the others. That's what I did)
(2) 1 small sweet onion
(3) 2 eggs, beaten
(4) 1/2 cup flour (or enough to bind the mixture)
(5) Salt and pepper to taste
(6) 1/2 cup vegetable oil (2 tbsp oil per batch of latkes in the pan)

Steps:
1
Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely. If you're using onions, chop them finely and add them to the potatoes.

2
Beat two eggs and whip in a small amount of flour. If adding salt and pepper for seasoning, add now.

3
Squeeze the potatoes to get out some of the water in them. If they're too wet, they will not fry up crisply during cooking.

4
Add the coarsely grated potatoes (and onion) to the egg-flour mixture, blending well.

5
Put 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan. Heat it to a high temperature.

6
Use the mixing spoon to gather a good-size dollop of potato mixture. Drop into the heated pan.

7
Fry until brown at the edges. Then turn over and fry the opposite side.

8
Place the cooked latkes on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot.

So try it out and let me know how it went...
All the best.

Believe in yourself and when people begin to see the result of your believing in you, they would turn around and believe in you but don't let it be the other way round.

The Sun has its own glory and so does the moon and stars. Even each stars are different from each other but they all shine. These were the words that jumped out from my bible study this morning.

Lesson: Stop comparing yourself with others, learn from them and become better, but don't become them. Discover your uniqueness and stick to it! Don't become somebody's photocopy because no matter how clean a photocopy is,there is always a difference with the original. Be the original you God created you to be
If you were made to be a star, don't wish to be a sun,you would end up been frustrated. Instead shine brightly as the star you were made to be and let men see your light and glorify the father in heaven for creating a beautiful shining star as you.

My prayer: God help me discover my uniqueness, help me find out what makes me,me and help me stick to it. Help me use my uniqueness to bring you glory.
Amen!
