| Fresh berry season begins with strawberries, the most popular of all berries. Although strawberries can be found in supermarkets almost any time of year, during late spring and early summer locally grown berries are ripe and ready to eat and enjoy in many areas across the country. Fresh strawberries have a delicious naturally sweet taste but there's only about 50 calories in a whole cup! Strawberries are highly nutritious. Eight medium size fresh berries contains about 150% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and 20% of folate. They're also high in potassium and a good source of dietary fiber. When shopping, choose strawberries with a bright red color and fresh green caps. Since strawberries do not continue to ripen after they've been picked, don't buy berries that are partly white and unripe. The size of a strawberry is not a factor in determining the sweetness or taste. That's determined by the variety of strawberry, weather and growing conditions, and the degree of ripeness when picked. Fully ripe berries, large or small will be equally sweet and flavorful. Do not wash fresh strawberries or remove the caps until you're ready to eat them or use them in a recipe. Store strawberries in a covered container in the refrigerator and use them as soon as possible after you buy them. To wash strawberries, place them in a large strainer or colander and rinse with cool water. Remove their caps with the point of a paring knife or gently twist and pull them off.

| Was looking through today's papers and browsing the obituaries section (usual odd habit) and I happened to see a familiar face, a primary schoolmate, apparently she passed on in a car accident in Canada. Well it just shows how life can end so unexpectedly, eventhough I do not know her personally but a part of me still feels the pain. I just couldn't imagine how her family members, relatives and friends are gonna accept this devastating loss. Well, guess she's in a happier place now, without pain, suffering and sadness. Just hope her loved ones will be able to pull through this difficult ordeal. | | |
| Guys... I'll be starting my new job next week  , many thanks to all those who have been praying for me. Well, so far the new working environment seems like a nice place and the people over there appears friendly too, hopefully all is not just a facade or either I'll be coming here frequently to voice out my ever-so-lasting complains  or I'll be too busy to do so. Whatever is it, i'm glad that I've got stuff to keep myself occupied as well as being able to contribute to my family's expenditure makes me feel useful again, being jobless for too long ain't that enjoyable after all.
I finally can lay my hands on something which I've eyed for quite sometime. I'll get it as soon I get my pay cheque!Heee~

Oh yes, I tried making kimchi but failed miserably. Argh... The kimchi making class in Korea wasn't helpful at all! | | | |
