Rings
It is the love month and it is that time of the month when lovers, friends, families and married couples celebrate love all month long or on that special day dedicated on the 14th of this month. All these things just remind me at the same time to check on our wedding rings. It is still here in my precious wallet waiting to be worn fittingly in our wedding ring fingers once again.
Looking at these beautiful partnership rings shown by another friend, just reminds me that I need to think about getting our rings adjusted. It should be put on my priority to-do list and I have to remind hubby that he should be able to fix a schedule when he is free from work and we can go to the jeweler to have our rings adjusted. This is one thing we have long postponed. High time to do this long postponed thing we should have simply done a long time ago.
Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate
This is the Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate that my mom sent to us from the Christmas package that my dear elder sister sent to us from UK. This is really sweet. At first I thought I could just drink it as it is even a little and I did not know that it was juice concentrate so you could imagine how sweet this tasted when I drank it straight without adding any water. Only a little of this for a glass of water will do for me but I was late to know that.
It is delicious and it is the first time that hubby and I have tasted anything like this with squash. I could not actually point out the taste of squash int his juice concentrate. It is more of strong sweet apple taste. the label says no added sugar from this concentrated apple juice drink with sweeteners. Yes it is kind of too sweet for me but I think my sister liked this that is why she sent this to us for us to enjoy drinking it as well.
This should have been our “wine” during New Year. There is still a few left of this since I don’t drink this anymore than hubby does once in awhile.
Brown Rice
Brown rice (or “hulled rice”) is unmilled or partly milled rice, a kind of whole, natural grain.
With thoughts of a mom wanting to go for healthy options, I have been thinking of trying to use brown rice (also called unpolished rice) instead for our own consumption. It is actually more expensive than the rice that we usually buy from the supermarket but more nutritious than white rice. Hubby and I have tried this before a couple of years ago or so at one of the small restaurants in the city called Grub that serves brown rice with their meals served. We liked it though at first being not used to eating it, I was quite hesitant but went on to enjoy eating it as I remember. (more…)
