“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” – Haruki Murakami
…having faith in God.
Visiting the psych ward, a man asked how doctors decide to institutionalize a patient.
“Well,” the director said,“we fill a bathtub then offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient, and ask him to empty the bathtub.”
“I get it,”the visitor said. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s the biggest.”
“No”, the director said.
“A normal person would simply pull the plug. I’ll go prepare your room.”
“Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.” – George Bernard Shaw
Nuts are high in nutrients and an excellent source of essential unsaturated fatty acids. They are a rich source of potassium and fibre.
Here are a few other reasons to go nuts – stress reduction, heart health, lung cancer, weight maintenance, cholesterol, prostate cancer, brain health and men’s reproduction health.
So, eat a small handful of raw, unsalted nuts a day and feel the benefits.
Things you don’t want to hear during surgery:
…”Everyone stand back, I think I lost my contact lens.”
…”Someone call the janitor, we’re going to need a mop and a bucket.”
…”Sterile, schmerile; at lest the operating-room floor is clean.”
…”Hey, that’s cool! Now can you make his leg twitch?”
…”Nurse, did this patient sign the organ-donor card?”
“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.” – Socrates
Quiche is simply an egg custard, seasoned with anything you desire. This is the perfect recipe for busy moms. No fuss, no base and just add whatever filling you like. It’s healthy, tasty, quick & easy to make and the best part is my two daughters love it!
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup plain yogurt (Homemade yogurt recipe)
1 cup grated cheese
4 tablespoon of self-raising flour
Salt & pepper to taste
Fillings:
1st Choice: Salmon & Fresh Parsley
Quiche with salmon & parsleyRub some salt on the salmon slice. Drizzle some olive oil on salmon and pan-fry until it’s cooked. Let it cool and break the salmon into small pieces and remove any bones. (You’ll get about 1 cup of salmon – more or less is fine). Rinse and chop fresh parsley – about 1/2 cup.
Put the salmon & parsley into a bowl, add some pepper, squeeze some lemon and mix lightly.
2nd Choice: Spinach and Ham
Quiche with spinach and hamThe stores here do not carry canned spinach so I use fresh spinach instead. I rinse and boil spinach for 1 minute, drained and chopped into small pieces. Cut ham (any type) into small pieces to make about 1 cup. Put chopped spinach and ham together and mix lightly. Add some salt & pepper.
Note: Remember to put in 1/2 tsp of baking soda in hot water when boiling spinach – this is to make sure spinach stays green otherwise it will turn yellowish.
3rd Choice: Sausages and Mushroom (canned button mushroom or fresh mushroom)
Quiche with sausage & mushroom – fresh from the oven.Slice or cut sausages and mushroom into small pieces. What I normally do is slice a small onion and pan-fry it for 2 minutes with the sausages and mushroom to add more flavour.
Note: The above are just 3 suggestions on type of filling you can put into the quiche. Feel free to try with whatever you desire and it will taste great even with any leftover meat dishes.
Method:
1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
2. Whisk together in a bowl eggs, milk, yogurt and flour.
3. Fold in cheese and fillings.
4. Pour into a standard pie dish/pan (9″ in diameter & 1-1/4″ deep). I normally use a glass dish and remember to oil the base with some olive oil or butter.
5. Bake for 40 minutes or until set.
6. Serve hot.

Three rough-looking stomp into a truck shop where a grizzled old-timer is having breakfast. One of the bikers extinguishes his cigarette in the old guy’s pancakes.
The second spits a wad of chewing tobacco into his coffee. The third biker dumps the whole plate on the floor.
Without a word of protest, the old guy pays his bill and leaves.
“Not much of a man, was he?” said one of the bikers.
“Not much of a driver either,” says the waitress. “He just backed his truck over three motorcycles.”
