Baking Tip (7)

A sprinkle of flour on your work surface is the best way to keep your dough from sticking as you roll it into shape.  But you have to be careful not to “over-sprinkle,” too much flour can make your bread pastry tough.

What you should do is place the chilled dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper.  Then just press down firmly to keep the paper from scrunching up as you roll the dough to the appropriate thickness.

Crowning Glory

My hubby’s hair is thinning. It runs in their family. He really doesn’t mind and is resigned to the fact that he will become bald soon. He jokingly tells us that men now who has hair shave their heads. But I love his beautiful hair and I’d hate to see him lose it. I bought him a shampoo for thinning hair and he’s been using it daily. So far, it has been effective as his pillow no longer has hair in it in the morning, nor does he leaves hair in the tub. At keast for now, I can still enjoy running my fingers through his hair.

My Aching Head

I’ve been having occasional bouts of migraine ever since I was a young boy. It usually hits when I don’t get enough sleep. But through the years, the headaches began to wane. I do have some medication for it but it seems that I have no more need for them. I rarely suffer from migraine now. It has been almost two years since my last attack and I hope I wouldn’t have any anymore. I guess the change in my lifestyle has been effective. My aching head doesn’t ache anymore.

Lazy Afternoons

My family enjoys lounging outside in our backyard. With the searing heat, the cool breeze is the most enjoyable thing for us. To make us even more comfortable, I bought several outdoor pillows and cots. Our terrace has become the lounge for the entire family. This where we spend our lazy afternoons when the heat inside is unbearable. I just hope my husband wouldn’t ruin our quiet retreat by putting a television outside.
