Diet

It will be Aidil Fitri in two days time. My sisters are here . One of my sister is making lasagna. It smells divine. I think I will not be working after Aidil Fitri. So , I will be spending time at home. I have not tried any diet. I have tried the the fennel and ginger but not always. I have taken out a 7 day diet from a local magazine. So , I will be trying the diet. For dinner it will be a lot of soups. No sweet drinks. More on fish and veggies. I weigh 78kg . I need to loose about 30 kg to reach my ideal weight. Perhaps I will find a new job. A part time job. Something simple.

Skin Tag

I had a skin tag beneath my left eye. At first I did not notice it than it became apparent. I didn't know how to remove it. My mother told me that her skin tag disappeared when she applied extra virgin coconut oil. When I was not working I looked for an easier alternative to remove skin tags. I learnt that someone just snip it off with a small scissor I don't think I could do it. Besides it is near my eyes.

I decided to try the clear nail polish solution. It looks easy. I had success removing some skin tags on some one's neck. The tie with thread works in one week.You have to tie thread very tightly . At first when I apply the nail polish it stung near my eye. I applied it for 4 days then I got discouraged. After a few days later I noticed the skin tag again. It looks shrivelled. By the way, I applied it at night. Then I applied it for a further 3 days and it dropped off one night when I tweaked it. So , it took me about 2 weeks to finally remove the skin tag. My husband said it looked ugly. Next time I have a skin tag I will use the nail polish. I found out that you can also remove skin tag using Oregano oil, tea tree oil and Apple Cider Vinegar.

My husband's friend had given him a Turkish Cook book. So far, I had tried a recipe of Pumpkin in syrup with chopped walnut. Two days ago, I tried a stuffed pepper recipe . I had never eaten stuffed pepper before . It was easy to make . I did not have any dill but it turns out well.It is very filling and tasty. I ate 2 out of the 3 peppers I made myself with the sauce my husband made. Yummy. My sister and brother said it was nice.

For the meat filling :

Brown chopped onion, add 3/4 cups of rice then add add 3/4 cups water .

Cook until the rice is absorbed.

Then add 500 gram minced meat ,chopped tomato and dill.

Add salt and pepper.

Fill the stuffing into a cleaned pepper . Place the pepper up right.

Fill a pan with 2 cups of water , margarine and salt.

Cover the pan and cook for 40 - 60 minutes or until the pepper is cooked.

I will try to make stuffed eggplant ,tomatoes . Maybe next week.

Glycerine

It has been a week of Ramadhan. I have gone back to work with my husband . He needed more hand. At first I thought he has enough staff. One lady but now he needed help so I am back to work. He had begun making Afghan dish. I do the cutting of vegetables such as onion, tomato , garlic and ginger . Very important in this kind of dish.

I have bought a bottle of vegetable glycerin in Bagus bakery shop Shah Alam last week when I went there with my mother and my sisters. Luckily it is available at the bakery shop. So far I have made a honey ,glycerin and rosewater moisturiser. A glycerin -rosewater hand lotion and a forever youthful lime ,milk and glycerin night lotion. Guaranteed to make the face , hands and feet youthful . I will be making the cucumber and milk cleanser tonight. I am happy with the cleanser .It is cool and cleanses well. To tell the truth, making cucumber and milk cleanser is not cheap. The cost of making the cleanser is about the same amount paid for an ordinary cleanser. The good thing about it is completely free of chemicals.

My brother and his family will be going off to Seychelles for work. We were locating Seychelles in the map. He will be going there in Friday for 2 years contract. I hope everything will be well for him .
