SEARCHING FOR RECIPE EXCHANGE

I SEARCHING FOR PEOPLES WHICH LIKE ALSO TO EXCHANGE RECIPE FOR MENUES..

EVERYONE HAS HIS FAVORITES MEALS, KNOW SOME SECRETS FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER, MOTHER, FRIENDS WHICH ARE COOCKING...

IN SWITZERLAND IS BETTY BOSSY, HER SIMPLE AND GREATH DISHES ARE VERY POPULAR AND EASY TO PREPARE...

WHY WE TRY NOT ALSO TO HAVE HER A STAGE FOR EXCHANGE SPECIAL DISHES, WHICH ARE THE FAVORITES IN THE FAMILY, WHICH ARE NOT EXPENSIVE AND WHICH YOU CAN GET THE INGREDIENT EVRYWHERE AND WHICH ARE EASY TO PREPARE...

BRAKE OFF EAT TRADITION

HAVE YOU ASK ONCE YOURSELF, HOW IT IS WITH OUR EATING TRADITIONS???

BACK IN SWITZERLAND, MY PA WANT ALLWAYS POTATOS AND HIS FAVORITE WAS POTATOSALAD...!

HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES THE PEOPLES CAN'T BE WITHOUT RICE 3 TIMES A DAY...!

ITALIENS CAN'T BE WITHOUT SPAGHETTI OR PASTA...

FRENCH AND GERMANS WITHOUT POTATOS...

W H Y ? ? ?

WHEN I MADE MY FIRST TRIP OVERLAND FROM EUROPE TO INDIA THERE WAS PEOPLE ON THE ROAD, THEY BRING ALL CANGOODS WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY WAS AFRAID TO GET SICK FROM THE FOOD IN OTHER COUNTRY'S...

WHILE MY FRIEND AND I WE WANT TRY NOW THE DIFFERENT FOOD IN THE DIFFERENT COUNTRY'S TO GET NEW TASTE AND EXPERIENCES....

I NEVER EVER WANT MISS THAT

IT WAS A PLEASURE AND FANTASTIC WHAT I LEARNED AND TESTED IN FOODS...

BACK HOME I ALSO TRY TO COOK...INDIAN CHICKEN CURRY, SAMOSAS, SWEET & SOUR PORK & FISH, LUMPIA SHANGHAI ETC. AND I INVITED MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS....

OH, THEY WAS ALL EXCITED AND WANT HAVE THE RECIPE FOR IT...

WHEN I COOK SOMETIMES HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR FRIENDS SOME EUROPENE DISHES....MANY ARE CRITICAL AND FOUND THE MENUE NOT COMPLETE, IF THER IS NO RICE...

AND A PLENTY FILIPINOS THINK THAT WE IN EUROPE OR US JUST EAT BREAD AND POTATO..HAHA

SO THEY ARE VERY SURPRISED, WHEN I TOLD THEM, THAT WE ALSO HAVE RICE BUT NOT NECESSARY EVRY DAY...

I TOLD THEM THAT I LIKE THIS EXCHANGE OF DIFFERENT FOOD...

TODAY RICE, TOMORROW POTATO, NEXT DAY PASTA, THAN ALSO MAIS...ETC...

IT SEMS TO ME AS HAVE THE PEOPLE HERE NO FANTASY AND THEY DONT' KNOW WHAT THEY MISS IN THERE LIFE...

I JUST HOPE AND WANT WITH THIS STATEMENT TO MAKE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT TO TEST AND TRY ALSO NEW RECIPE AND SO FIND OUT HOW GREATH ARE ALSO THE WORLD IN CULINARYC ASPECTS....HEHE

LIGHT & SHADOW

THE BEAUTY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW AROUND US

THE BEAUTY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW IS AROUND US EVERY TIME; WE JUST MOSTLY DON'T SEE IT BECAUSE OUR MIND IS ABSENT, HE FOCUS MORE ON PROBLEMES IN WORK AND LIFE..AND SO WE LET PASS WHAT THE NATURE SHOW US, AND GET BORED AND FRUSTRATED, AND SPEND MORE ATTENTION TO THE MATERIAL THINGS INSTEAD TO GET HAPPY WITH THE SMALL VIEW BUT TRUE THINGS IN LIFE!

ZODIAC or ZOOM-ME-UP

YOU BELIVE IN ZODIAC SIGN?

HOW ABOUT ASTROLOGY?
AND WHAT WITH HOROSCOPE?


ALL ARE SOMEHOW FASCINATED ABOUT IT BUT ALSO CRITICAL OR EVEN THINK IT'S JUST A JOKE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION OR YOUR MONEY...
WE TEST SOMETIMES THE LUCKY NUMBERS WHEN WE PLAY LOTTO AND ARE SAD WHEN WE LOOSE...
WE THINK ABLOUT FENGSHUI WHEN WE LOOK ON OUR INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS...

IS THAT NOW SUPERSTITION OR JUST THE WISH IN US TO HAVE LUCK, TO GET RICH AND SUCESSFUL?
IN THE CHINESE SOCIETY AND ALSO BACK IN THE EASTERN AND WESTERN HISTORY YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND SIGN OF MYSTICAL , ORACLE AND PREDICTIONS!
WHY MOVIES & BOOKS WITH THIS THEMATIC ARE SO POPULAR?
JUST THINK OF LORD OF THE RINGS, OR HARRY POTTER, OR BROTHER GRIMM ETC...
SOME PEOPLE USE THIS SITUATION AND ABUSE US IN OUR BELIVE ON THIS.
I JUST CAN SAY, BE SCEPTICAL AND CHECK FIRST WHO OR WHERE GIVE YOU INFORMATIONS ABOUT...
THE DAILY HOROSCOP IN THE NEWSPAPER, THE FORTUN TELLER IN THE MARKET PLACE, SOME RELIGIOUS SECT, CELLPHONE TEXTINGS WITH MIRACLE CHARACTER ALL THIS ARE MOSTLY VERY SUSPICIOUS...
BACK IN MY WORK AS SOCIAL WORKER, WE HAD ONCE TRY TO FIND OUT WITH ASTROLOGY, WHY SOME FAMILY BROCKEN ?...
WE LET MAKE A HOROSKOP FROM THE DIVORCE COUPLES TRUE AN ASTROLOGICAL EXPERT AND WANTED TO FIND OUT, IF WE COULD GET AN ANSWER WHY THIS HAPPEND WITH THEM.
AND SO WE FIND OUT, THAT BY THE BROCKEN FAMILYS THE COUPLES HAD OPOSITE ZODIACS WHICH NOT COMPARED WITH EACHOTHER AND SO QUARELINGS WAS THE CONSEQUENCE ON IT!
I HAVE AFTER THAT NOW ALSO SELF TRY TO CHECK MY FRIENDS, WHY I HAVE WITH SOME A BETTER FEELING THAN WITH SOME OTHERS AND ALSO HERE IT HAS SHOW ME THAT IT MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR CHARACTERISTIC WHICH THEY GOT WITH THE ZODIAC SIGN...
BEVOR I MARRIED I ASK MY SELECTED GIRL, WHAT HER ZODIAC, EVEN SHE WAS CONFUSED...
AFTER I CHECK IT I WAS RELIEVED AND HAVE MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT...
FOR THE CIVIL REGISTRY SHE HAS NEED A BIRTHCERTIFICATE AND SO WE LET IT MAKE...
NOW COMES OUT THAT HER BIRTHDATE WAS COMPLETE DIFFERENT AS WHAT SHE TOLD ME AND WHAT SHE CELEBRATED BEFORE...
THE DIFFERENT WAS NOT ONLY FEW DAYS..IT WAS INSTAED SEPTEMBER JUNE...
I HAVE TRY 23 YEARS TO FIND A WAY AND SOLUTION IN OUR QUARELS, BUT IT WAS ALSO ENDED UP IN A DIVORCE AND I FEEL NOW HAPPY AND FREE! RELETIONS

WHEN I CHECK MY FRIENSTER AND TAGGET ACCOUNTS, I SEE SO MANY HURTED HEARTS ALREADY BY THE YOUNG GENERATION HERE!
SO I CAN GIVE THE YOUNG GENERATION ONLY AN ADVICE, THAT THEY SCOULD CHECK FOR THEIR RELATIONSHIP ALSO THE ZODIAC SIGN AND LOOK HOW IT IS COMPARED WITH HIS OWN SIGN SO THAT THEY HAVE ONE PROBLEME LESSER IN THE FUTURE AND MAY LESSER QURELS WHICH CAN END UP IN DISASTER.

JAMMING WITH BOB MARLEY

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

I'm very excited, my friend Anka helps me to get in that side...!!!
It's not so easy anymore for a 62 years old fellow how to enter in a own WEBSITE...hehe
I have already frienster, Tagget, Hi5, and other accounts..
have YAHOO and HOTMAIL...
have a YM...
and still on learning on all shortens what's lol, asap, asl etc..hahaha
I'm so thankful, that the young peoples here in the Philippines don't discriminate as oldies...
I appreciate, that i still learn a lot from them and in revenge i teach them my experiences...
How powerful could be our planet, when we would more accept each other, when we not would be so egoistic, nationalistic, more open minded for the real problem in this world...
when we would speak in respect to each other and try to find a way together for the solution how can this beautiful planet exist and survive in the next 1million years...No, there are egoist, selfish and crazy people which just think of them self and don't care if the world will be destroyed as long they have a profit out of it...
Thanks to all my young friends, for your trust, your energy, your acceptance and your will to make more out of this world, i believe in you and your ideas and wish and hope they will come true !!!
