Cook and Brew.

It’s already 7:30 PM and while I await the husband, I hope he remember to pass by the mall and buy the vga cable I asked him to look for for the desktop.  And while he’s there, hope he drops by Delifrance and grab me any of their Christmas treats.  I’ve received this in my email and oh boy, I’m drooling over these yummo treats especially the Seafood Tomato Cream Linguine and Santa’s Clubhouse!  I feel like I’d be able to devour them with just one bite or perhaps I’m just that hungry now that’s why I feel like I could eat a horse at this moment.

Are you a frustrated baker or a newbie cook and would love to learn new cooking techniques just in time for Christmas?  I’m sure you’d want to discover new dishes and desserts that you can prepare for your Noche Buena this year.  Check out this cooking demo that Yummy Magazine will be holding with the help of well renowned Chef Katherine Jao.  Do not bother bringing your headphones along as this will be one exciting and informative cooking demo.

We can’t avoid aging and have those wrinkles as we grow older.  But the good news despite it being inevitable is that, we can slow down the process and even reduce the aging signs.  Thanks to the continuous efforts of scientists and skin experts, products and treatments such as juvederm and other anti-wrinkle creams are made available to help diminish laugh lines and wrinkle lines.  However, just make sure to approach only licensed and well trained cosmetology doctors since there are so many hoax products that also abound now.

As an avid follower of online broadsheets and journals in America, one of the most interesting write-ups I have been intrigued about is when Wall Street Journal wrote about investing in Gold. “To buy gold is to invest in a currency with much simpler appeal if negative” Wall Street says. Gold as reiterated is a currency that is not at all controlled by nation’s stature, a nation’s political situation. A good that can neither be debauched or devalued at any given circumstances. However, investing in gold is not the same at mutual funds. Individuals usually bet on gold by purchasing bullions or as shares in bullion funds as GLDs. This again is whole different way of investing on gold.
