Why do muffins stick to case?

0 #

Now when going through the usual keyphrases looked for on my blog, digging through hundreds of searches how to purge to get skinny and sayings of Imams, I came across one funny search.

“Why do muffins stick to case?”, is asking unknown person.

Well, that’s an interesting observation.
They might stick to case because they are made from sticky material, as the dough for muffin contains a lot of soft butter and sugar, often tipped by some other stuff around, sugar, chocolate, marmelade, and when not kept in very dry and cold environment, they tend to become very sticky… hence to befriend the case they are carried in too much and leave some pieces behind, when being picked up.

Ps.: Who wants to bake some, as I know in CZ it is not so easy to get good already done and ready to be bought, here are some recipes.

Poslední…

…dny v Čechách, to je dnes a část zítřka. Zítra večer odlétáme zpět domů, do Newcastlu, kde nás čeká měsíc neopečovávaný byt s odmraženou ledničkou, kterou manžel zaponměl otevřít předtím, než ji vytrhnul ze zásuvky… (= bude veselo).
Aboody odlétá už dnes večer z Kuwait City a v Newcastlu přistane zítra po poledni; já jsem jen ráda, že let dcerky a mně bude o mnoho kratší. Ačkoliv, létat v noci, to bude legrace sama o sobě, s unavenou ratolestí, která se v posledním měsíci divokým chováním přiblížila dětičkám z Dr. Phila… potřebuje tu příslovečnou mužskou ruku už, nejsem dobrý tatínek. :)
Z ČR odlétáme jako vždy, s rozpolcenými pocity, stesk po rodině, ale úleva, že zas budeme ve svém, po svém, bez bitek o jídelníček a šatník.
Já podnikla poslední nálet na obchod, koupila si běhací soupravu a botasky (ještě je tu mise přesvědčování, že věci jsou natolik plandavé, aby mi ostatní chlpai nekoukali na zadek, když kolem nich náhodou proběhnu), sukni, nějaká trika, prostě po dvou letech trošku vybavila šatník, když už se mi všechno rozpadá. Já totiž nakupování normálně ráda opravdu nemám a obzvlášť zkoušení se snažím vyhýbat, co to dá.
Jen doufám, že se mi to všechno vejde do kiláže, neb taška už teď poněkud praská ve švech. Nerada bych připlácela 25 liber za každé kilo přes…
Až děda sebere dítko a vyrazí s ní na kolo, doběhnu jen do místní knihovny vytisknout si letenku a dotisknout si podruhé smlouvu o mlčenlivosti, snad to už teď dojde….

The Feminized Western Men

0 #

Not so long ago, few days back actually, I was at a hairdresser, making her go nuts over my husbands idea have me blond again, because although I’m ash blond naturally, he previously desired a brunette and I made him happy. It is, though, much easier to turn a blond into a brunette than a brunette back into a blond.
As I had few hours to spare while she was trying not to burn my hair away, I had enough time to go through all those magazines for women with zero informations and a lot of gossip, which I normally don’t even think of looking in, but, oh well, I was really bored and falling asleep with had full of aluminium wasn’t my imagination of a proper visit.
Although those magazines always contain a lot of stuff nobody needs to know, it caught my eye on one – really obvious, but I’m always late in those – problems; and that is the water pollution.
Not the regular environmental stuff to make you buy ‘bio’ food and ‘bio’ made stuff, but the pollution which comes from humans only – the medical pollution.
The amount of remedies and medicines we, especially in western world, eat daily is unbelievable and everyone knows that for sure.
What we often forget is the fact that by eating them it doesn’t really end; our organism takes what we need and the rest goes away, in our urine mostly. This goes through the sewage to the water plants; but water plants can’t really get rid of hormones and particles as such.
Many of the cities than take the drinking water back from the lower streams of rivers and de facto pump us with all those medicaments back; one problem is already very visible; and that is rapidly growing level of female hormone oestrogen in out waters, mainly caused by the amount of contraception pill taken by the females, so happy to have the ‘freedom of choice’, to literally fuck around without any consequences such as the feared-by-many unwanted pregnancy. But the second consequence, the less visible one, which is the very unwanted level of hormones left in our drinking waters, is not taken into account. Keep on reading »
