How To Meditate (via The Change Revolution)

I found this video to be really good. You can watch it by clicking “read more”:

Have you always wanted to meditate but did not know how or where to begin and as a result never tried. I have been meditating on and off for the last two years and I must say it’s made a big difference in me. One doesn’t need to be all philosophical and detached from the world to practice meditation. Personally, for my meditation has helped my day-to-day life. It has helped me focus better, become more efficient, etc…most of all, it has helped … Read More

Cheesecake recipe

  • 200g raspberries
  • 1 tub or 250g mascarpone cheese
  • 200g white chocolate
  • 200g digestive biscuits
  • 100g butter

 

  1. Get a bowl, and crush the digestive biscuits to small crumbs.
  2. Get a pan and put about 1 inch of water in it. Put the pan on a hob, turn up the heat a bit and put a glass bowl on top of the pan.
  3. Break up all the white chocolate into small pieces and put them into the glass bowl. Stir using a wooden spoon until melted, and turn the heat down if steam rises.
  4. When the melting of the white chocolate is almost complete, get a smaller pan and put it on a different hob. Put all the butter in it, and stir the butter until it is melted. Don’t let the butter fry – keep on turning the heat down.
  5. When the white chocolate has completed melting, put on a pair of oven gloves and move the glass bowl onto a table. Empty the pan of water.
  6. When the butter has melted (it shouldn’t take long) move the butter pan onto a table.
  7. Empty the crushed digestive biscuits into the container you want your cheesecake to be in. Add the butter, and stir and flatten out with a wooden spoon. Then put the container in the fridge.
  8. Empty the mascarpone cheese into the bowl with the white chocolate in, and mix until smooth.
  9. Get the container out of the fridge and put some raspberries on the top of the biscuit bottom (roughly half of the raspberries should be used).

10. Pour the white chocolate mixture on top of the biscuit mixture, and make sure it is spread equally (use a wooden spoon).

11. Put the other half of the raspberries on top of the mixture.

12. Put the cheesecake in the fridge for a while before serving.

How Online Shopping Has Spoiled Me (via The Change Revolution)

Online shopping. What a revolution. Not long ago, shopping would require actually going to a shop and buying something. Nowadays, you just need to visit a website like Amazon and click the mouse a few times. You can also read reviews from other users in a few clicks, to see whether the product is as wonderful as the company say or is just plain rubbish. Online shopping has changed the world forever.

Below is a post about online shopping, from the wonderful blog The Change Revolution.

Have a great day!

Today, I had to go to the mall to exchange some stuff I bought. While I was at the store, looking for some article of equal value to exchange, I realized how online shopping has spoiled me. a.) I have lost the patience to make back-n-forth trips to the fitting room, b.) trying on different clothes, and c.) dealing with crowded stores. I do not fancy “window shopping” anymore. As convenient as online shopping is, it has done wonders for me. For in … Read More

The Fish Fight

Have you heard about “Hugo’s Fish Fight”? I hadn’t, until today. And, when I found out about it, I was shocked. Very. And that’s underestimating it.

Basically, according to EU law, fishermen have to throw fish that they don’t need back into the sea. For example, that might be fish that are too big/small, or the wrong type of fish. This is extremely bad for the enviroment, as you’d expect. These fish could be sold on land, and it’s argued that it’s a waste of good food.

A lot of fishermen hate doing this, but it is the EU law. They have to. But Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, the chef that brought this all to our attention, is campaigning. Big time.

You can like their Facebook page, visit their website, or, even better, sign up to the campaign (see the website). I have, and I hope you will, too.

Now, here is the official video:

A lot of my posts end with something quite random (like The Secret’s Out), and this one is no exception. So here is a music video:

For The Love Of Pistachios (via The Change Revolution)

Pistachios

Pistachio nuts

Nuts are wonderful. Especially certain types, in certain ways.

Recently (well, I say recently but you’ll be reading this in several months time, so it isn’t recent. It is for me – I’m writing this on Sunday 27th February 2011 at 13:25, months ago for you) there was a post on the wonderful blog The Change Revolution about pistachios. With a mouth-watering picture, as well. You know, I have a sudden urge to eat pistachios…

I’m back. I couldn’t find any. Ah, well.

On the post is a wonderful list of things to do with them, including using them with pancakes and salads (click “read more” below for the full list). Also there is a list of ‘fun facts’, like that they are high in fibre.

Basically, pistachios are tasty and good for you. I say that and you could eat salted ones. NOT healthy. It is amazing how tasty and healthy food can be unhealthy very soon….

Anyway, read the post below, and let me know what you think!

For The Love Of Pistachios I love pistachio nuts! They’re one of my favorite snacks. Dry, roasted and un-salted are the best kind. Here’s some fun facts on pistachios: High in fiber Excellent source of protein (26g in ~50 kernels) Rich in antioxidants Stress reducer Rich in plant sterols Cholesterol reducer Good source of healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) Here’s a website th … Read More

Aaah Astronomy (via The Change Revolution)

Planet Earth from space

An amazing planet...

One of my favourite subjects is Science. It really interests me about how the body works, the universe etc. One of the things I haven’t really done much is astronomy, and I thought I’d re-blog a post (from the lovely blog The Change Revolution) with some really interesting astronomy facts.

Whether you are an astronomer, or you had no idea what astronomy is before reading this post, then these facts are still interesting, and they make you think.

The facts are below (just click “read more”), and I hope you enjoy reading them. If you have any thoughts, you can either post them at the bottom of this post, or you can post them at The Change Revolution blog – don’t worry, the author doesn’t bite… :D

As early on as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by our solar system and beyond. I still have vivid memories from when I was 5 years old of me staring at the moon, looking for the rabbit and an old woman. I would love to sit out on the porch in the evenings and look at the night sky and identify different stars. Skipping forward to the present, I still am very much fascinated by the space, extra-terrestrial objects and the advancement … Read More
