Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Winter Melon Plant

 I planted this winter melon plant a few weeks ago and it seems to be growing well and healthy.  The leaves are extremely big with a diameter of almost 1ft. and am waiting patiently for the fruits to appear.  This picture was taken 2 weeks ago and it has since occupied more space on the ground.  I do not use fertilizers but ashes from the Aghnihotra fire.  To learn more about Aghnihotra Therapy, go to www.agnihotraworld.webs.com


Clay Pot Chicken Rice

Feeling too lazy to cook, I decided to make this easy clay pot chicken rice for dinner. Just marinate chicken pieces with oyster sauce, a teaspoon of sugar, dark soya sauce, soya sauce, Shao Shing wine, sesame oil and most important a tablespoon of ginger juice. Add in chinese mushrooms and chinese sausages if desired. Stir fry the marinated chicken until half cooked.  Boil the rice (add in salt)  in an electric rice cooker and when the rice is almost done, pour the chicken on top of the rice to finish the cooking.  Dinner is ready!
