MY KITCHEN TODAY: ORANGE JUICE

  Food does not exist only in solids but also in liquids,so we will be dealing with the orange juice; the making and the benefits. The Orange juice is a liquid extract from the orange tree fruit. The nutritional value  of a whole orange and it's juice is similar, they are excellent sources of vitamin C  which supports the immune system , they are also good sources of folate which helps reduce the risk of certain birth defects in pregnancy and the good thing is orange fruit juice can be properly done at home and preserved.

INGREDIENTS FOR TWO PERSONS:
*16 to 20 oranges (Big Size)
*1/4 tsp of  pink salt or kosher salt
*2 inch  of ginger piece
*16 to 20 mint leaves or holy basil leaves(optional)
*2 tbsp of organic honey (optional)
EQUIPMENTS:
* Blender alternativelyJuicer or Mixer
* Sieve

PROCEDURES
*  Wash the oranges very well
*Cut each orange into 2 halves horizontally.
*Remove and discard the seeds with a fork, the white membrane and the peels.

* Peel rinse and diced  the  ginger into small bits and add to the blended orange paste and blend simultaneously
* If you are using the mint leaves, you will slice it smoothly and add it to the blended fruit ,blend until it slightly changes color

"Strain the orange juice using the sieve.
 *The pink salt can be added into  the sieved drink.

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
