Why am I bringing this up? Well, because if you even mention someone's weight, especially if they're carrying a bit extra, suddenly you're labeled as a body shamer. It's like walking on eggshells.

Mutton Marvels: Flavorful Recipes to Try
Cooking
Mutton Ahead
Did
you know you can prepare mutton a day or even two days in advance and store it
in the fridge? This technique allows the flavors to fully penetrate the meat,
enhancing its taste. For instance, mutton curry benefits greatly from this
process, becoming even more delicious over time.

Savouring Mutton: Spices and All Things Nice
Now, about cooking mutton. The ones I buy tend to be tough, making them hard to chew and eat after cooking, which hurts our gums and teeth. If you also buy tough mutton, you should start any mutton dish by pressure cooking it. If the mutton you buy is tender, you might not need to pressure cook it.

Japanese Vegetarian Cuisine: Delights from the Land of the Rising Sun
Whenever I travel, I love exploring different flavors, whether at fancy restaurants or street vendors. In Malaysia, there's no shortage of Japanese restaurants (HOKKAIDO WANTERLUST) , and you can even find Japanese food at food courts. My favorite is the raw fresh cuts, known as "Sashimi," which is best at authentic Japanese restaurants. It's pricey, but worth it - delicious slices of seafood picked up with chopsticks, dipped in Japanese soy sauce and wasabi. What a mouth-melting delight! I usually go for the seafood varieties, and they're always a treat. Are you a fan of sashimi? If you are, I bet you know exactly what I'm talking about and how delicious it is (OSAKA SUNSETS & KYOTO ZENFUL SIGHTS).
Perth, Australia: Where Culture, Wildlife, and Sky-high Views Collide
Speaking of Curtin University, it holds a special place in my heart. That's where I honed my skills through their degree twinning program, collaborating with Metropolitan College, where I had lectured for a good 15 years. It's incredible how time flies, yet memories of lecturing Small Business 200 and Entrepreneurship 300 to eager students remain vivid, even though almost a decade has passed. Notably, I also underwent a week-long training at Curtin University Australia, acquiring essential lecturing skills and earning certification.

Ha Long Bay Escapade: Nature's Splendor and Culinary Delights
As we journeyed towards Ha Long Bay, heavy rain slowed us down, prolonging our travel time. Finally, we arrived at our hotel around 9:00 pm, had dinner, and retreated to our rooms for some well-deserved rest. Amidst it all, some curious fellow travelers couldn't help but wonder why I was traveling alone and where my husband was, with a few even attempting to uncover my marital status. But honestly, I paid little attention to their inquiries - after all, Malaysians have a reputation for being quite inquisitive.

Nasi Kerabu Kelantan: Culinary Marvel
Besides the flavorful rice, the condiments served with this Malaysian dish are truly exceptional, all thanks to Ms. Nava's creativity. If you're expecting the same old Nasi Kerabu Kelantan you've had before, you might be disappointed. But if you appreciate culinary innovation (Bunga Kantan Raw Salad), you'll be applauding Ms. Nava's version.

Bunga Kantan/Ginger Torch Bud Pineapple Cucumber Salad
Don’t
you agree that cooking is all about inventing your own recipes rather than
desperately trying to replicate others'? This is my cooking philosophy. Why,
you ask? I believe in using up the ingredients I have instead of letting them
go to waste. Whether it's fresh produce I've grown or items from the fridge,
it's crucial to use them wisely. By doing so, you not only reduce waste but
also let your creativity shine as you craft your own unique dishes.
How about a raw salad? It's convenient and saves time - just prepare the ingredients, then toss and stir. However, remember that raw salads should be eaten immediately. Otherwise, they lose their crunchiness and freshness, and won't look as appealing.
Siem Reap, Cambodia: Exploring Heritage and Human Stories
Our first stop today was Artisan d’Angkor, and let me tell you, it was something special. This place is all about giving back, providing support and training for underprivileged youth. Stepping into the workshop, we watched these talented individuals honing their craft with such focus and dedication. Despite our attempts in making eye contact with them, they were totally immersed in their work. Still, the experience left us in awe of their skills. After the workshop, we explored the shop, filled with handmade treasures. Sure, the prices were a bit higher than what you'd find elsewhere, but knowing that our purchases were making a difference made it all worthwhile.
