IT"S ALL ABOUT..ICE CREAM.!!!

HISTORY OF ICE CREAM

Ice cream's origins are known to reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been undisputably credited with its discovery. We know that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavoured with honey and nectar. Over a thousand years later, Marco Polo returned to Italy from the Far East with a recipe that closely resembled what is now called sherbet. Historians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century. England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time, or perhaps even earlier than the Italians. "Cream Ice" as it was called, appeared regularly at the table of Charles I during the 17th century.

LET’S TRY A RECIPE?

Let’s try a simple and easy recipe. It’s very simple and the ingredients are very easly can be found.

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

1. Use an ice-cream maker.

2. In a large bowl, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla.

3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. Once the desired consistency has been reached, stir in the chocolate.

4. Serve immediately or freeze in an airtight container.

HERE ARE FEW TIPS ON STORING AND HANDLING ICE CREAMS.

1. Do not allow ice cream to repeatedly soften and re-freeze. When ice cream's small ice crystals melt and re-freeze, they can eventually turn into large, unpalatable lumps.

2. Your freezer should be set at between -5°F and 0°F. Ice cream is easy to dip between 6°F and 10°F, the ideal serving temperature range.

3. Store ice cream in the main part of the freezer. Do not store ice cream in the freezer door, where ice cream can be subject to more fluctuating temperatures since the door is repeatedly open and shut.

4. Keep the ice cream container lid tightly closed when storing in the freezer.

5. Don't store ice cream alongside uncovered foods; odors may penetrate ice cream and affect its flavour.

6. Put ice cream products in a separate section of the grocery cart or place on top of other groceries.

7. Store ice cream in the main part of the freezer, not on the door, where it is subject to more fluctuating temperatures

8. Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible. Standing at the freezer and staring inside will warm all the items you are storing.

9. When you store pungent food, the smells can move quickly. Those odors can mix with your ice cream and change the flavour. So be careful on this.

Saree – Indian Traditional Wear

Saree is an Indian traditional costume worn by females. It is a long cloth that goes from four to nine yards long and it is draped in various styles. Saree is a national dress in India. But besides that formal tag, it is a garment that accentuates the beauty of an Indian woman to the fullest. Saree is also one of the most versatile clothes. There is a type of saree for every occasion. Different types of sarees are worn on different occasions.

Sarees are made from many different types of materials and decorated with many different styles of embroidery. The different types of materials all create different textures and styles of drapes and therefore very much shapes the overall look of the saree. The embroidery must also match the material of the saree. The various types of sarees are:

1.Georgette Sarees

One of the most common materials used for modern sarees is georgette. This is a reasonably sheer lightweight fabric which is slightly heavier and less opaque then chiffon. This makes georgette sarees ideal for creating pleats and creates an elegant saree drape. Georgette is often made of silk or polyester and has a slightly springy quality which makes it move on it’s own. This is again ideal for the saree pleats when walking and the saree drape. On a georgette sari you can have both lighter and heavier types of embroidery and any type of print. A versatile sari and Indian suit material.

                                     

2. Chiffon Sarees

Chiffon is a material which gives an elegant floating appearance to any outfit and especially to the Indian sari. A chiffon sari, being so elegant is ideal for evening wear. Chiffon is a sheer lightweight fabric which creates a lightweight sari which is suited to both light and heavier embroidery. Chiffon can be made from silk, nylon or polyester.

             

                                     

3. Silk Sarees

Silk is a material famously associated with the Indian sari. Traditionally silk sarees have been considered a sign of wealth. Silk sarees these days are less common although silk sarees still create a real look of elegance and are often simple and light to manage. Silk sarees have a natural shine which is great for showcasing traditional Indian prints.

                                  

4. Crepe sarees

Crepe is an increasingly popular material used for both sarees and in Indian fashion in general. Crepe is a woven or knitted fabric and often regarded as a luxurious material. Crepe sarees have a great drape and fall, again making crepe sarees perfect for evening wear.

                                         

5. Cotton Sarees

Cotton sarees are often light-weight and easy care sarees. Cotton sarees are normally associated with a more casual sari style.

                    

6. Bandhani Sarees

The bandhani sari can be traced back to its roots in Rajasthan and Gujarat in India. The bandhani print in both Indian fashion and Indian sarees has seen a recent revival. Bandhani sarees and prints are recognisable by their distinct tie-dye print.

THE FAMOUS GOOGLE PLAY!!!

What is Google Play?

Google Play, which was originally born and referred to by Google as the Android Market, is Google's official store and portal for Android apps, games and other content for your Android-powered phone or tablet. Just as Apple has its App Store, Google has the Google Play Store. It's a huge place and it offers a lot of content to its users, but don't worry, though. Android Central is here to help.

Many applications can be targeted to specific users based on a particular hardware attribute of their device, such as a motion sensor (for motion-dependent games) or a front-facing camera (for online video calling).

      The Android Market was announced by Google on August 28, 2008, and was made available to users on October 22. Support for paid applications was introduced on 13 February 2009 for developers in the United States and the United Kingdom, with support expanded to an additional 29 countries on 30 September 2010.

Stress Mangement

Hello everyone. How are you all today? How was your day? Is it a stressful day? Did you managed your stress successfully? For those who done managing your stress say “ Woahhh I’m done with it”. For those who didn’t, no worries. You still have chances and perfect ways to overvome it. And today I’m going to share you all few methods to handle the stress.

Opsss.. before that you should identify the sources of your stress. Then only you can manage your stress effectively. But that’s not very easy to identify the sources of your stress in few minutes. Its take time as well.

Once you identified your source of stress, you may try the following methods to prevent it.  As the first one, avoid people who stress you out. If someone consistently causes stress in your life and you can’t turn the relationship around, limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship entirely. Secondly, pare down your to-do list. Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the “shoulds” and the “musts.” Drop tasks that aren’t truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely. Third, express your feelings instead of bottling them up. If something or someone is bothering you, communicate your concerns in an open and respectful way. If you don’t voice your feelings, resentment will build and the situation will likely remain the same. Fourth, manage your time better. Poor time management can cause a lot of stress. When you’re stretched too thin and running behind, it’s hard to stay calm and focused. But if you plan ahead and make sure you don’t overextend yourself, you can alter the amount of stress you’re under. And finally, focus on the positive. When stress is getting you down, take a moment to reflect on all the things you appreciate in your life, including your own positive qualities and gifts. This simple strategy can help you keep things in perspective.

Friendly advice : always learn and try to forgive. Accept that fact that we live in an imperfect world and that all people might make mistakes. Let go of anger and resentments.

FORGIVE AND FORGET !!

Thanks for reading and do not forget to follow the steps. Manage your stress in a positive way for a positive results.
