People went nuts with the news about the imported milk containing melamine. I really can't blame them, I do too am careful in picking the food products I bought at the supermarket. It would be of great help to read the label first to know where it came from and the expiry date. In my case, I also read the calories I get from that product, I am a calorie freak hahaha!!!!
Without that foreign country exporting their products, our local milk producers will have more opportunities though I must admit, some of the well know products' prices are way expensive compared with other imported brands!
Okay I am kinda sleepy now, I'll hit the sack!
Everyone stay healthy and don't forget to drink your malamine free milk from a good label :)

A cool game!
As a kid, there were a lots of memories to rekindle. There were times were the siblings and I just have fun and play all day. One of our favorite things we do was playing bingo in our backyard. It was a sure fun game and it was our simple way of bonding because our parents and other relatives join too.
One day, I really don’t know what hits me; I just decided to googled bingo and found out that Disney has recently release ScreenLife Game Disney Bingo DVD game. This Disney Bingo DVD Game offers an edgy twist on our old favorite Bingo games. Disney DVD Bingo allows kids be familiarized with numbers, colors, and matching skills with their favorite Disney characters and movie clips. Match the numbers on the board to the ones given by the on-screen caller.
This game seems to be fun. You can play with your kids too. It’s a nice and cool way of bonding with relatives and friends as well.
I have a five year old nephew and he loves playing games when I showed this to him online, he hurriedly asked her mom to get this game which can be bought from Amazon.com and Drugstore.com
Do check it out I am sure it will be selling like pancakes!
So what are you waiting for?

I learn how to prepare simple dishes that wins the heart of my parent and siblings. Up to now, cooking is still a great part of my life. This is my simple way of making my husband happy. You see, he loves to eat and his favorite is seafoods especially shrimp. He loves it when I grilled them and drizzle some olive oil. Simple as that!
We all knew seafoods are healthy to eat specially when they are fresh. It’s a good source of protein and low in saturated fat. It’s also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids thus reducing the cause of heart disease. That is why, seafoods are always present on our dining table during weekends.
Just as of earlier, I stumbled into this Great American Seafood cook off website where chefs from all over the US showcase their creativity in preparing unique and great tasting seafood recipe. I was asked to vote for a recipe in that site.
