| Tips for Working with Garlic Posted: 16 Aug 2009 02:19 AM PDT 
Garlic, scientifically known as Allium sativum L., is one of the most important food seasoning in the world. However, because of its many other uses, demand of this crop is continuously increasing. Aside from being an indispensable cooking ingredient, garlic is also used to cure athlete’s foot and hypertension. It is used in preparation of drugs, insecticide and explosives. In general, a stronger tasting clove of garlic has more sulphur content and hence more medicinal value it’s likely to have. Some people have suggested that organically grown garlic tends towards a higher sulphur level and hence greater benefit to health. Organic garlic certainly tastes better so whenever possible its better to buy whether or not it’s best for your health. In cooking, garlic adds potent flavor to a host of dishes. Diced or coarsely chopped garlic works well in sautés, soups and stews, while minced garlic is best for vinaigrettes and other light sauces. Here are tips for buying, storing and preparing garlic: - Buy firm, dry garlic with paper-like skin. Avoid bulbs that are soft, wet or contain green sprouts, all surefire signs the bulb is past its prime.
- Always store garlic away from other foods that will pick up its pungent smell. Stored in a paper bag in a cool, dry place, garlic will keep at least a month. Once cloves are broken from the bulb, they keep up to 10 days.
- Use your hands to peel the papery skin off the bulb before breaking away the individual cloves.
- To remove skin, place the flat side of a chef’s knife on top of the clove. Use pressure from the palm of your hand to rush the love, releasing the powerful flavor and scent. After the clove is crushed, it’s easy to pluck off the skin. Discard.
- To chop, place the flattened clove on a cutting board. Use a rocking motion with a chef knife to cut the clove into pieces. To dice into smaller pieces, continue rocking the knife, cutting the pieces into even small pieces.
- The easiest way to mince garlic, or turn it into a paste-like consistency, is to use a garlic press. Place several unpeeled garlic cloves into the pocket and firmly press the handles together.

| What Mortgage Type is right for you? Posted: 01 Sep 2009 11:14 PM PDT Mortgage types that are available in the market today are different. And choosing from these different types of mortgages and interest rates makes your head spinning. So, how do you know what mortgage type is right for you? There are two types of mortgages available in the market, the fixed rate mortgages and the floating rate mortgages. The fixed rate mortgages are mortgages where the monthly mortgage payment amount remains the same for the entire life of the contract while the floating rate mortgages floats or changes throughout the life of the contract. Which mortgage is better, fixed rate or floating rate? The answer still depends on the paying capacity of the borrower or it can be decided on your future plans. If your plan is for a shorter period then the floating rate is generally advisable. If your plan is for a longer period then the fixed rate would be the best option. Also, check out the "no prepayment penalty" option with your creditor. This option means that you can sell the house, pay back part of the loan early, or refinance at any time, with no “penalty” of having to pay an extra fee. Owning a home is great for it boost your personality but buying your dream home is the hard part because you have to consider many factors such as your capability, your family, the property, the location of the property, the environment and the mode of payment. Finding the best mortgage package is not that easy. So, try to shop around and compare the interest rates then choose the mortgage package that will suit best for you and the family. Talk to real estate agents or to your bank to get better ideas on different types of mortgage available in your community. |

| Sinigang na Hipon (Shrimp in Sour Soup) Recipe Posted: 07 Nov 2009 04:33 AM PST 
Sinigang is a Philippine dish famous for the variety of ingredients. Though considered a soup, it is not eaten as is, but rather combined as a viand with rice. Sinigang is typically sour. Sinigang often incorporates stewed fish, pork, chicken, shrimp, or beef. Sinigang’s characteristic taste is attributed to the ingredient that gives its sour taste, not to the meat’s flavor. Meat is stewed with tamarind (which provides the sourness), green pepper, tomato, and onion. Other vegetables cooked in sinigang may include okra, taro corms, labanos, kangkong, sitaw and egg plant. Ingredients: - 1/2 Kilo Hipon (Shrimp)
- 12 pcs Tamarind (Sampaloc)
- 1 big Onion (diced)
- 6 big tomatoes (quartered)
- 2 pcs Radish (sliced)
- 1 bundle Sitaw Stringbeans (cut into 2″ long)
