Noise Cancelling Headphones For The Dentist Office Please

Noise Cancelling Headphones For The Dentist Office Please

Is there anyone out there who enjoys going to the dentist office?  Why is it that going to the dentist drives fear from the baby to the toughest of men?

I hate going to the dentist!  I was sitting in the chair, listening to that awful noise when I thought “wouldn’t it be nice if we got noise cancelling headphones as soon as we walked through the door?   What I hate more than having to drag…

Do you want to know how I cook Meatless Red Peas Soup?  Follow along step by step as this Jamaican girl show you how she does it.

Meatless Red Peas Soup

I looooooooove soup, in fact I drink soup pretty much every week.  Red peas soup is my favorite  and since I am not really a fan of meat, then mine is meatless red peas soup.  Now I am not an expert cook, but I am very picky.  I have my own way of doing things so that I will be sure to actually eat it when it is done. So here goes

Ingredients

Red Peas/Kidney Beans

Yellow Yam

Pumpkin

Chocho

Thyme

Dry Coconut

Garlic

Salt to Taste

Skellion

Scotch Bonnet pepper (Optional)

Coco (Edoe)

#gallery-0-17 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-17 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Preparation

If I have sufficient time, I soak the peas, in a covered container, with garlic overnight.  By the next morning, it smells so good!

So next day I get my peas on the stove. I add the salt at this point (I may need to add some later) but I allow the peas to cook with salt.  Some persons wait until the end to “season” the pot but I prefer to cook with the salt from scratch. It is totally up to you, it is your soup after all.  Then I get my dry coconut, YES I grate the coconut but you can also blend if that is what floats your boat.   I do not use powdered coconut milk or any form of processed coconut milk.

#gallery-0-18 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-18 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Now I get my produce ready.  Pumpkin, Coco and Chocho all goes in and I leave everything to just cook until the peas is soft.  Then I toss in the yam, and breadfruit. You can add dumplings if you like, but I am not really a fan either.

#gallery-0-19 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-19 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-19 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-19 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The last items I add are the skellion, thyme and pepper (optional).

Guest Post: My Facebook Journey

On January 12, 2009, I was introduced to social media by being invited to join Facebook.  Immediately I became friends with quite a few people.  In no time I had more than 50 friends and the goal was to have as many friends as possible.  In the following days I was pleasantly surprised to see  requests from old school friends that I hadn’t seen in more than 30 years.  For me, Facebook has…

Librarian, Dwaymian Brisset underwent a dramatic lifestyle change that  turned his life in a different direction.  Most times we  highlight  women who have undergone serious weight-loss but today I want to highlight a fellow Librarian. Here we have a young professional male who has undergone a lifestyle change and I hope this serves to encourage someone who thought it was impossible.

Can you just share a few sentences about yourself?

Dwaymian Brissette is a Virgo from the Parish of St. James. However, for the past 12 years, he has being working and living in Kingston. He holds a MA and BA in Library and Information Studies along with a minor in Human Resource Development and Certificates in Management Studies and Supervisory Management all from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. Dwaymian has also received professional certificates in Leadership and Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, Project Management and Financial Management; and has a Certificate of Merit from Texas A&M University in Advance leadership. He is a trained Mediator and holds a Certificate in Mediation Practice and Procedure awarded by the Dispute Resolution Foundation of Jamaica. His crave for knowledge and love for the creative industry motivated him recently in completing a course in International Copyright Law from the University of Amsterdam. Dwaymian was the 2012 Thomson Reuters Leonie Asgarali, Grant awardee, a 2013 Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC fellow and a 2014 Open Society Foundation Scholar. Dwaymian volunteers his time to conduct workshops in career development, conflict resolution and social justice based on a strong commitment to community development and youth empowerment for various NGO organizations and youth clubs.

Would you say you have always had issues with your weight or is this something more recent?

I have  been overweight my entire life, even though I have always lived a fairly active lifestyle.

What made you decide to take your health more seriously?

Motivation of wanting to live a long and healthy life, and realized that yo-yo dieting and my  fitness regime was neither sustainable nor helpful in my weight loss quest.  So, I made a change.

Is this your first attempt at being healthier?

It was not not my first time ; however, it is the first in a serious and structured way.

Do you have a cheat day and what do you eat on that day?

Yes, I  eat a cheat meal mostly on Fridays. A cheat day is not sustainable and should be avoided at all cost.

What do you use to satisfy your sweet tooth?

I use sugarcane and ripe banana to satisfy my sugar rush.

How do you plan to maintain?

By striking the right balance between good nutrition and fitness training.

Any pearls of wisdom you would like to share with someone who is about to start this journey?

Remove the word “diet” from your vocabulary and replace it with the phrase, “lifestyle change” so that you can achieve your desired results and maintain them.
