Her boss called her to his office and discussed the contents of the letter. She pleaded not guilty. She felt so devastated. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing her job because of false accusation. She was helpless.

Hearty Lentil Soup
Published on June 27th, 2009.
I have this recipe for lentil soup that’s so good for the cold season. It’s a good source of protien since lentil is part of the legume family. The ingredients are: 3 strips bacon, 1 large onion, 2 diced carrots, 3 cloves garlic, 1.5 cups lentils, 2 cans chicken broth, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, salt and fresh pepper. You just have to cook the bacon until crisp, then use the oil from the bacon to saute the onion, garlic and carrots. Add the lentils and chicken broth and bring to a boil until the lentils are tender. Lastly, stir-in the vinegar, salt and pepper. Serve while it’s hot and enjoy!

Logic of Legumes

Since I was a kid, dishes with legumes are my favorite. Pork and beans are one of them. But more than being delicious, legumes have a long list of health benefits, according to many experts and studies. Example, legumes are good source of protien, fiber, potassium and anti-oxidants; a cup of beans a day can help lower chances of heart disease and cholesterol by 20%. I would never-ever trade legumes to any other protein source. Now, i’m training my kids to eat and love legumes.

Making Money out of Nothing
Published on June 19th, 2009.
The global meltdown has seen unemployment rate soar to it’s higest level, consumer spending slowdown woefully, credit dry up, markets shrink and business opportunity take up residence in distant galaxy. However, even when there’s every reason that’s it’s no time to be an enterpreneur, I believe that nothing can keep a good enterpreneur down. Business which do not need capital had sprung all over the internet. They call it online swapping. Now, the age-old barter system has come to life all over again!
