Kate Middleton's Charity Bracelet

Kate has been supporting the East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) since January and she is doing a lot to raise money for the organisation. For the charity work, she wore a colourful bracelet that everybody now wants to have. Kate Middleton has made this simple accessory from Imogen a Fashion-Must -Have. The bracelet can be worn  both by adults and children and I'm loving the Smarties-Look!!!
The money collected from this bracelet will go to the EACH-Organization. This is so cool - 'Doing charity work and looking stylish at the same time'.
If you want to know more about the organization or buy  this colourful Smarties-Bracelet, you can check it out here.

What do you think about the bracelets and Kate's support?

Family Meal: Traditional Irish Dinner


To many Irish-Americans, corned beef and cabbage conjures up nostalgic images of a rural Irish past. It is a traditional meal to eat on St. Patrick's Day and our recipe is easy to prepare. We've also included a recipe for clove-spiced sweet mustard that is is just divine!

If you prefer Irish Lamb Stew, we've got the perfect family recipe too. Our recipe call for ground lamb which is easier on the pocketbook; cooks in less time than using stew meat; and has a texture that appeals to small children too. Whether you choose to make Corned Beef or Irish lamb Stew, both are fantastic paired with our Roasted Cabbage and Potatoes.

Irish Dinner Menu
Corned Beef with Clove-spice mustard sauce
Or
Irish lamb stew
Roasted Cabbage and Potatoes
Fresh pineapple


Corned Beef with Clove-Spiced Sweet Mustard

Ingredients:
  • 1 4-pound Corned beef
  • 1/3 cup Yellow mustard
  • 1/3 cup Brown sugar
  • Dash of Ground cloves
Directions:
Remove corned beef from the package and rinse it in cold water. Place the corned beef in a large pot and fill with water until the meat is covered. If the corned beef came with a spice packet, open it and pour the contents into the water. Bring the pot to a boil and reduce heat to low and simmer 50 minutes per pound (a 4-pound corned beef will simmer for 3 hours and 35 minutes).

Introduction to Irish Food


  Introducing a World of Flavor

A visit to rural Ireland is filled with spectacular views of lush, green hillsides and fields. Ireland's green countryside is perfect for raising cattle and sheep and dairy farming.   The country's mild climate provides a long growing season for a variety of vegetables and fruits. Irish cooks take advantage of the local harvest by choosing to cook with high quality, local and fresh ingredients.

Irish cooks keep it simple in the kitchen. Dishes are prepared using basic ingredients and easy to follow recipes.

The common staples in an Irish kitchen include:

  • Potatoes (you may have guessed this!)
  • Root vegetables (parsnips, carrots, etc...)
  • Cabbage
  • Whole grains
  • Beef, mutton (lamb/sheep) and fish
  • Dairy products - cheese, milk, butter and buttermilk

Herbs and Spices in Irish Cooking

Herbs grow well in Ireland and are used in many soups, stews and main dishes. Commonly used herbs include parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. Irish bakers like to use nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla to create delicious breads and cakes.

Mama Is Always The Best !!!

The love of a mother knows no bound and that's also true for the animals. They show  unconditional love to their offspring and are always there to protect them. They always raise their young ones and then, free them. Just like human beings, some of them are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most of them kiss and scold together.

Here are some cute pictures







What kind of a mother are you? Kissing mother or Scolding mother, or a mixture of both?  Let us know?

Tips for Driving Next to Semi Trucks

Have you ever noticed those fun stickers on semi trucks? One thing I always look out for when driving past a semi truck is for those stickers with quotes on them. I don't know where the drivers get them from but what I know is that there must be a bunch of humorous truck drivers around. Any time you are looking for a semi truck for sale, make sure you ask them where you can get one.
