Buko Pandan In A Cup.

rakski @rakski (165050) • Philippines 9h

This is one of my favorite local dessert. Fresh and young coconut meat with pandan flavored green jelly, topped with cream and condensed milk. Yum! Some liked it with tapioca pearls. Some not. I like it without it. We usually...

Looking after the dogs

Judy Evans @JudyEv (391468) • Rockingham, Australia 19h

I saw this sign at Hannan’s North Tourist Mine in Kalgoorlie. It was one of the places that we visited while we were there. What a good idea to provide a safe place for one’s pooch while you explore the area. Some places won’t...

Anna Very good idea to provide a safe place for the dogs, if they do not let the pets go inside the tourist places.

New Diet to Manage My Sugar Level

Firefly @cttolledo (5504) • Legaspi, Philippines 19h

It took me a while to figure out what kind of diet actually fits my lifestyle, especially since I work from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM—sometimes even later—sitting at my laptop all day. I finally found a strategy that works for losing...

A big chunk of Salton Sea obsidian

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109539) • Los Angeles, California 23h

The Salton Sea is located in Southern California’s Imperial Valley. Long before the now toxic sea was created by contaminated farm water runoff, the Salmon Buttes were a hotbed of volcanic activity. There are lava domes on sea...

Cover your ears when it gets really cold!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (65057) 12 Nov

I don't have time to be sick! Years ago, when I lived in Montana, I had to shovel our sidewalk out in extremely cold weather, very windy--absolutely bitter cold. I had never had ear problems in my life, ever. I had on a winter...

Anna I am sure that in Montana you need to wear very warm clothing, protect your hands, feet and ears. I never wore a hat and often I forget to take my gloves with me, but I try to remember now. I am glad the doctor could repair your ear.

Where Are My Babies?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57924) • Canada 10 Nov

My babies, or twin granddaughters to be exact, are now 4 years old. But to me, they will always be my babies. They like it when their Nanny calls refers to them as that. Three years ago this month I bought two matching...

It feels a lot colder than the temperature actually is here.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (65057) 21h

Currently, 41 degrees, ''feels like'' 28 degrees. OK, that's livable--this is Illinois after all. According to the thermosat, which is always pretty much spot on, it's 69 degrees in here. I generally don't give in and turn on the...

Anna It's not really cold here, but after the rain I feel that it's humid so I set the furnace a bit higher to dry the apartment inside. I turn off the furnace during the night, I hate to have a too warm bedroom when I sleep.
