More Recipes sites

I have recently visited some recipes websites.

(a) Curry Focus - http://www.curryfocus.com/recipes.php
There are tonnes of curry recipes in this websit, including Dal Recipes, Lamp, Beef, Baldi, Massaman, etc  etc etc.  It is interesting to find so many Curry Recipes I never heard of.

Good:
- There are a "Recipe review" section, where you can see users' rating and the heat rating. 
-  They are pretty easy to follow. 
- Best of all, you can also share your own recipes on this website and get feedback from others who love curry.

Bad:
- There are no photos attached so you can't really see how it looks like.

(b) Taste - http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/collections
You will receive a lot of information by browing through this website.
My favourite are the "Recipes", "News and Features" and "How To".

- In the "Recipes" session, you can get suggesions for different occasions and simple thing for lunch box.  It is filled with photos and therefore, easy to pick a recipes that might interest you.

- The "New and Features" session is full of information such as "Top 50 recipes for 2009", cook books reviews and fantastic food locations around the globe.

- In the 'How to" sessions, I like the "Ingredients" session, where, it shares the ways of preparing them (eg: blood orange, cucmeber),  photos of how they look like, what is in the season etc etc.
It does not stop there.  There are video series, which you can click on.


Fantastic and very informative website.  Hope you like it.

Happy 2010 - Plan for the better

Happy New Year to all my friends and relatives.  May your wishes come true in the new year.

As you look back the previous year, have you been stressing about life, work, marriage, relationships etc etc etc and the list seems to go on forever?

Well, me too. 

As I went through my email today, I see an email from Kristine Carlson.  She is the wife of international phenomenon Dr. Richard Carlson (author of the “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all Small Stuff” series), and author of National Bestsellers, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff in Love” and “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff for Women”.

Visiting the website http://www.dontsweat.com/kristine.html, remind me the importance of living in the moment and enjoy the present.

Have a look at the above website, click on "Features Excerpts" on the left menu bar, there are some interesting pieces as follows:
"Avoid the "I've Had A Really Hard Day" Habit - from Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love"

"Don't Fight Over Stupid Things - from Dont' Sweat the Small Stuff in Love'

"Remember That Your Partner Can't Read Your Mind - from Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love"

"Know Your Own Value - from Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love"


Hope you enjoy it.

Food Sites - December 09

(a) Meals for you
Did you go to a restaurant, order a meal and wonder, man, how much caleries in it and what are the ingredient?
Did you like the meal and thinking "hmm....  I should have ago myself ......"

Did someone you love tell you their favourite food and you want to cook for them, but have no idea what it looks like?

If you did, I hope you enjoy http://www.mealsforyou.com/.  What you need to do is simply search recipe by name, and you will find the picture, the recipe, the ingredient etc etc etc.........

(b) Hookery Cookery

Another food site I enjoy is http://www.hookerycookery.com/.  It is simple and "tidy".  Yes, tidy.  Imagine you are interested in just suggestion for Christmas and Easter.  Instead of being flooded with all sorts of recipes, just click on "Christmas", you will find some meals special for Christmas.

Online survey

Is it true that you can make a lot of money from doing online survey? No idea.

I have found the following link.
http://www.auspaidsurveys.com/survey-panel-review-scoreboard.html
At a glance, you can see which are the well rated survey panel. If you are interested in making money from online survey, but not sure where to start, you might want to start by researching some of these companies on the above link.

I will not suggest you pay for any registration if you are not sure what you will get yourself into.

I have recently registered with:
1. http://www.rewardscentral.com.au/
 There are points earning daily with their "Web click" and "Quick Survey". There is also points earning with "Guessing Game" if you get the right numbers.   There are also offers for their members.

It will probably take times to accumulate points. However, I see it as a way to keep up to date with best deals on the market.

2. http://www.freestuff.net.au/
They will be sending you emails for free stuff. If you are interested, you can apply for receiving free samples.

Have fun.

Struggling with job hunting

Do you find yourself:

1. Applying for jobs in the past 3 - 6 months with no result?

2. Changing the format and details of resume and cover letter because you were told you need to customise it for each jobs application? However....... nothing works?

3. Running out of ideas on how to present your resume in order to earn an interview?

4. Demotivated with finding jobs?

You may want to find out more about "Guerrilla Resume", which is an unconventional ways of marketing yourself.

Have a look at these link
http://www.careerjockey.org/how-to-find-a-job-faster/
http://www.jobdig.com/articles/1041/Four_Guerrilla-Style_Resumes.html

Is it bullet-proof? Probably not, but it is a starting point for ideas to think outside the box and explore something that might work for you.

Good luck.

Great Ocean Road - Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles along Great Ocean Road is a 'must visit' tourist attraction in Melbourne.  It is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park.

The Twelve Apostles are created by constant erosion of the limestone cliffs of the mainland that began 10–20 million years ago.  Some of these photos were taken from a helicopter.  The experience is unspeakable.
