Stir <br />well. Let sit for about 15 minutes; till bubbly. Gradually stir in enough remaining <br />flour to make soft dough. Knead the dough, on a lightly floured surface, until <br />smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let the dough rest on your floured <br />surface, under the mixing bowl, for at least 10 minutes. </p> <p>Divide dough in half. Roll each half into about a 12 X 8 inch rectangle. Be sure to <br />roll out from the center of the dough to remove all the air bubbles. Spray each <br />rectangle generously with butter flavored spray. Roll up rectangles tightly, starting <br />with narrow edge. Seal the ends of each loaf by pressing down on each to make a <br />thin strip. Fold the strips under the loaf and pinch seam. Place each loaf, seam side <br />down, in a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan sprayed with butter flavored spray. Spray tops of <br />each loaf and cover loosely. Let rise in warm, draft-free place until double in size, <br />about 1 hour. </p> <p>Bake at 375. for 30 to 35 minutes, covering each loaf with foil during the last 15 <br />minutes of baking to prevent over browning. Remove from pans when done and <br />cool on a wire rack. Spray once more lightly with the butter flavored spray. </p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-44575278917019108232010-05-15T05:25:00.000+07:002010-05-15T05:25:00.375+07:00Bran Muffins<p> <img src="http://destinyskitchen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2787102447_23cc0095e6.jpg" width="278" height="371" /></p> <p>• 3 c All-bran cereal <br />• 1 c Boiling water <br />• 1 c Sugar <br />• 3/4 c Applesauce <br />• 1/2 c Egg substitute <br />• 2 1/2 c Whole wheat pastry flour <br />• 2 1/2 t.

For $25 to $80 a night, you might find a bed shaped like a gondola, a spaceship, or a pineapple, and it will likely vibrate or rotate--or both. </p> <p>You also might find a vending machine for sex toys or a small pool with two slides, so you and your lover can whoosh down into each other's arms. <br />Strolling the beaches of COLOMBIA at sunset, you'd see couples making love on the sand: "We're not self-conscious about sex here," says Juanita, 28, a writer. <br />In ROMANIA, couples often live with their parents because of a housing shortage. So, when they want privacy, they sometimes resort to a parked car. "Once, my husband and I were caught by a policeman," reports Irina, 22. "He tried to take me down to the station for booking; he assumed I was a prostitute."</p> <p> </p> <p>Publication: Marie Claire</p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-77869141873713948992009-08-21T23:50:00.001+07:002009-08-21T23:50:33.679+07:00Maple-Glazed Apple with Gingered Quark<h5> </h5> <p><strong>Ingredients</strong><strong>: </strong> <br />4 Golden Delicious Apples, unpeeled <br />1/2 cup Vermont Quark <br />1 tablespoon ginger preserves <br />1/4 apple juice or water <br />1/2 cup pure maple syrup <br /><strong>Directions</strong><strong>: </strong> <br />Preheat the oven to 350°F . <br />Cut top off each apple, but leave stem intact; set aside.

You don't always have to be the most beautiful girl in the crowd, but if you carry yourself well and dress to suit your body type, chances are you'll be the one that everyone notices.</p> <p><b>Clothing</b> and <b>posture</b> are two more ways in which you can make the most of what you have. Take a good look at the actresses in the entertainment pages of your magazines. Not all of them are classically beautiful, but they all have a presence about them, a quality that comes from the way they dress and the way they hold themselves tall, upright and elegant.</p> <p><ins><ins></ins></ins></p> <h4>Dress for your Body Type</h4> <p>Here's a list of typical body complaints, together with the clothing tips that can hide them from view. Sometimes you should make the most of your assets, sometimes you should hide them away, but you should always have the confidence to step outside and feel beautiful!</p> <p><b>Larger Bodies</b></p> <p><img height="306" src="http://www.binet.lv/go.pl?IMG=23429851O1820" width="211" /></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p> <br />Always bet on black. Darker clothing reduces the appearance of folds and bumps in the fabric, and has a wonderfully slimming effect on your body. Those of you with larger physiques should avoid tight clothing and definitely steer clear of loud prints.</p> <p>Try to always wear properly fitted clothing. Loose, baggy tops and pants just draw attention to your worst angles. Wear fitted shirts with vertical stripes to show off your curves the right way!</p> <p><b>Small Bust</b></p> <p><img height="263" alt="xxpurple-FCdress.jpg" src="http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/tess-daly/css/xxpurple-FCdress.jpg" width="200" /></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p> <br />A padded bra is not the only way to give yourself a fuller bust. Try wearing fitted shirts with features like pockets or other details at the bustline. Make sure the neckline is not too low though. Another good tip? Layer up. By wearing a tanktop under your shirt you will make your bust appear much fuller.</p> <p><b>Large Bust</b></p> <p><img src="http://theblackapple.typepad.com/somegirlswander/images/2008/11/29/il_430xn45909904.jpg" /></p> <p> <br />Again, your bra is very important. By wearing one that is too small, you bring attention to your large breasts, rather than making them appear smaller. As for clothing, steer clear of tight-fitting tops and shirts with loud prints. Longer sleeves and a high neckline will take attention away from your chest and on to your arms and face.</p> <p><b>Large Hips</b> <br />If you're a little wide around the middle then don't worry, there are plenty of things you can do too. Wearing tight fitting trousers will only accentuate the difference in width between your hips and your legs, so use a bootcut leg that drops straight down from your hips.</p> <p>Buy pants without pockets or details around the hipline. Pleats are your absolute worst enemy. As for colors, make sure never to buy patterns - instead stick to dark, solid colors on the bottom, with perhaps some lighter colors or small patterns on your shirt.</p> <p><ins><ins></ins></ins></p> <p> </p> <p><b>Short Bodies</b> </p> <p><img src="http://www.ladyzona.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/offshoulder-dress.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p> <br />A short shirt can make your legs appear longer, while wearing similar colors across your outfit will eliminate the color boundaries that can make you appear shorter. Avoid overly detailed patterns and be sure to buy well fitted clothes. If you're drowning in your outfit it just makes you look smaller.</p> <p><b>Tall Bodies</b> </p> <p><img height="379" alt="" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.styledash.com/media/2008/08/_5678868.jpg" width="247" vspace="4" border="1" /></p> <p> </p> <p> <br />Exactly opposite to shorter women! If you're tall then you should use horizontal stripes, plus sharp color boundaries between your top and bottom to make you appear more petite. Long shirts and knee-high boots will shrink your legs too.</p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-7856364236775280032009-08-02T12:36:00.001+07:002009-08-02T12:36:46.468+07:00Inspired Apron<p>This lovely, ladylike apron is really beautiful. This apron is lingerie inspired, so there is a wonderful lace trim with black satin ribbon along the top edge of the bodice. The little black bow finishes off the look nicely. The lace was hand cut by me, and it really gives the piece a little something extra. </p> <p> <br />This apron is perfect for a special dinner for two, so it makes a wonderful wedding gift. This also works wonderfully for an anniversary gift or for a special occasion. Why not cook a romantic meal with a romantic apron on? I love it</p> <p><img height="186" alt="Lingerie Inspired Apron" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.81228957.jpg" width="183" /><img height="185" alt="Lingerie Inspired Apron" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.81229093.jpg" width="164" /><img height="177" alt="Imagine Apron" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_430xN.82496843.jpg" width="181" /><img height="177" alt="Imagine Apron" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.82496956.jpg" width="168" /></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=28182772">Lingerie Inspired Aporn $28.56 USD</a>,<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28151918">Imagine Apron</a></p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-34804503839742266202009-08-02T01:40:00.001+07:002009-08-08T14:24:25.296+07:00Cleobella Sandy Clutch<h4><small></small></h4> <p><strong>Cleobella Sandy Clutch</strong>. </p> <p><a href="http://www.purseblog.com/link.php?id=646"><img title="Cleobella Sandy Clutch " height="198" alt="Cleobella Sandy Clutch " src="http://savvy.purseblog.com/images/Cleobella-Sandy-Clutch.jpg" width="341" /></a></p> <p>This clutch is different, but in all the right ways. When it comes to clutches, I feel like the over all shape doesn’t really change that much – no matter which designer put it together. However, there are oh so slight modifications on this clutch that are fabulous. The clutch is hand-woven and features pleating and cutout handles. The leather overlay and whipstitching found at the top of the clutch come together to produce a very pleasant twist. While the colors might seem a bit subtle, I for one, really like them. Whether you are looking to tap into your inner bohemian, hippie or simply looking for a bit of a change in your clutch repertoire, this could be a great option</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://AgAccess.com">AgAccess.com</a><!-- Adsense End --></p> <p align="left"><a href="http://best-in.gr/">Best In Greece</a></p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-32872567849227316712009-08-02T01:18:00.001+07:002009-08-02T01:18:49.722+07:00Kate Spade Bow Group Esti Handheld Tote<p><img alt="kate-spade-bow-group-esti-handheld-tote.jpg" src="http://www.pursepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kate-spade-bow-group-esti-handheld-tote.jpg" /></p> <p>Every now and then I come across a bag that is really cute but that I’m also very sure I would never be able to carry. This is a great example. The <strong>Bow Group Esti Handheld Tote</strong> by <strong>Kate Spade</strong> is sweet and functional, with a two-toned ribbon wrapped around the top and a great pocket-laden interior. Despite its usefulness, though, as well as the bow’s initial charm, it loses that appeal after awhile. Imagine carrying this around all the time - or even just some of the time. It will lose its luster quickly unless you <em>really</em> love bows, and will then just be one of many in the “why did I buy that?” pile.</p> <p>thanks to purseblog.com</p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118602198602939492.post-65697780662426503912009-07-29T22:10:00.001+07:002009-07-29T22:10:59.444+07:00Jimmy Choo Tube Clutch<h4> </h4> <p><img title="Jimmy Choo Tube Clutch" height="216" alt="Jimmy Choo Tube Clutch" src="http://www.purseblog.com/images/2009/07/jimmy-choo-tube-clutch.jpg" width="460" /></p> <p>Wow, pink  Leopard print .

(3)<h4>SIT DOWN FOR A HEALTHY MEAL </h4> <p> <br />Keturah is starving her body during the day and missing out on important nutrients, like protein, says Slayton. That's why she gets headaches at work and binges on starchy sweets at night: Her blood sugar is too low. Keturah has a great figure now, but eventually, her metabolism will slow down and her late-night snacking could catch up with her. I wouldn't be surprised if she starts to put on weight in the next few years. <br />Keturah has to set aside at least 10 minutes every day at around noon to eat lunch, says Slayton. A peanut-butter or turkey sandwich and a banana will give her the protein and fiber she needs to keep her energy levels up. She could also try bringing healthy snacks to work--such as soy nuts or protein bars--to nibble on throughout the day. And she definitely needs to plan her dinners better. If her husband likes only meat and potatoes, she could ask him to help out so she doesn't have to cook two different meals. Keturah could also cook on the weekends, stocking her fridge with easy-to-reheat foods, like veggie chili. Prewashed salads are easy to toss with canned tuna or grilled chicken. If she still can't control her snacking at night, she could buy snacks in individual packs--this way, when she wants a cookie, she'll be less likely to eat the entire box. <br /></p> <h4>* THE SOCIAL EATER </h4> <p> <br />You look at food as a chance to bond with others, so your eating habits vary depending on where you are and who you're with. <br />* MEREDITH SAYS: My food choices really fluctuate. If I'm alone, I sometimes go for hours without eating. When I'm on a date, I often eat beforehand to avoid pigging out in front of the guy; when I'm out with coworkers, I order last and get what everyone else is having to feel like part of the team. When I'm out with my friends, I order hot dogs and beer. if we're at a baseball game, or a plate of nachos at a bar. But, with my doctor friend, I order steamed vegetables even if I really want eggs benedict; then I go home and down a pint of ice cream once she's not around. <br />* EXPERT'S ADVICE: <br /></p> <h4>LISTEN TO YOUR OWN HUNGER CUES </h4> <p> <br />Meredith likes to mirror other people's eating habits, which is why she doesn't eat much when she's alone, says Bauer. Because she doesn't take care of her nutrient needs, she is more likely to feel tired or run-down. Meredith needs to start eating at more regular intervals--breakfast no later than 9 am.; a mid-morning snack; lunch by 1; a mid-day snack; and dinner by 7:30. <br />She also needs to become more confident in her food choices, says Bauer. She can project the image she wants and still order foods she actually likes and wants to eat. For instance, on a date, she can order a light dinner of sushi or soup and a mixed-green salad. With her fun-loving friends, she can order a slice of vegetable pizza or a low-fat finger food, like grilled-chicken skewers. And with her healthy doctor friend, she can have the eggs benedict she loves--with the hollandaise sauce on the side. </p> <p>credit by marie claire</p> Kanjana-tarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11040388696081035905noreply@blogger.com0
