White Soldiers

This post is completely unrelated to kitchens - mine or anyone else's. Having just returned with Twin 1 from the hospital  (he's had an operation and overnight stay), I was reminded of this:

I have always told my kids the 'story' of the white soldiers. They live in there blood and kill all the baddies in their bodies, travelling around them destroying germs and making poorlys better. They work even harder when we are asleep, therefore a good nights sleep works wonders. Recently the twins and I read a book which described this process in similar terms to the ones I have used. 

 'Oh is it true then', piped up twin 1. 

 'Yes of course,' I replied. 'What do you think I've been telling you all this time.' 

 'Well we thought it was just a story to get us to go to sleep.'

As if I would!

Is Your Air Conditioning System Ready for Summer?

Your A/C system should be serviced every spring. Annual servicing includes cleaning the system, checking for any problems or potential problems and adjusting the A/C system for peak performance. Go ahead and take a look at your A/C system to see if it may need a little cleaning.

Benefits include:

• Increased dependability
• Repair potential problems quickly and inexpensively
• lowers your energy cost
• Prolongs life span of the A/C system
• Helps protect the environment
• Drastically reduces the chance of a breakdown
• Insures the A/C system is safe and offers healthy operation

Following are a few tips on reducing your cooling needs:

• Close all windows and doors during daytime hours. Keep the blinds and curtains closed (especially the west and east windows)
• Only use the A/C system when you are in the house
• Don't set your thermostat too low. Usually 78 degrees is found to be comfortable

STAY COOL MY FRIENDS!

Spinach Broccoli Cream Soup | Soup Recipes

I am trying to include Spinach to my diet atleast twice or thrice a week. But I get bored with the regular Spinach with dhal curry. So I am trying many ways to include spinach which is interesting too. Spinach chapathi, Spinach basil pesto, Spinach chutney are few of the many ways I try them. The recent addition to the list is this Spinach Broccoli cream soup.
