SAVE MONEY WHILE COOKING PASTA

I used to boil pasta for about 20 minutes or more for my babies until it's really soft because small kids can hardly chew noodles without molars, you see.

Then, my sister-in-law taught me an excellent trick that shaves off my cooking time AND save me money because I use less gas (electricity if you use electric burner).

First, boil some water. Once the water is boiling, just add the pasta into the boiling water and let the water bubble up. Turn off the gas and just go about doing whatever you need to do like housework or just play with the internet like what I'm doing now.

In about 20 minutes, you will have soft pasta. Really.

Then, just reboil the pasta to cook it. Drain the water, and add the sauce.

It's THAT simple.

Save the environment, save some money!

BEAUTIFUL RAW FRUIT BIRTHDAY CAKE

Who says we can't have a great tasting birthday cake made of fruits :-)

After all, there's jelly birthday cakes, there's birthday cupcakes, the sky is the limit, and it's all limited within our imagination.

I sometimes worry about cakes being served at parties.

You see, my first kid gets really hyper on sugar, and my second child is allergic to eggs, which is an important ingredient in a traditional cake.

So, when I saw a blog on a fruity birthday cake, boy, was I estatic. My kids loveeee fruits. They are fruit bats. They rather eat fruit than rice, bread or pasta!

Check out this blog http://livingfruity.blogspot.com/2009/02/party-pictures.html and see how they celebrate a birthday with clean, healthy raw food.
