How to Make Sure That You’re Child Eats Properly before an Exam
August 30th, 2010When your child prepares for an exam you have to make sure that he or she doesn’t get mentally as well as physically exhausted. This is just as important as knowing their learning materials. You have to make sure that they eat properly before their exams. This way they will be able to focus properly during the exams and they will be able to answer all of the questions properly. You have to make sure that your child does not have fatigue or even hunger pains.
• Make sure that your child has a meal which is well balanced before they give the actual exam. If you see that the exam is in the morning they have to eat breakfast no matter what. Make sure that you include a protein along with a fruit so that it gives you the energy that they need.
• Make sure that they get their daily dose of good protein rich foods like nuts or eggs or yogurt or even cottage cheese. This should be given to them during lunch as well as breakfast too, the day they go to give the test. These will help them the entire day.
• You can also keep giving them light meals throughout when they study. This is a lot better than giving them meals which are heavy. The heavy dishes usually cause them to be very drowsy and then they won’t be able to study. If your child isn’t hungry then don’t force him or her to eat. You don’t want your child to fall asleep just before a test.
• Don’t give your child caffeine. You need to stop it during the exams but then stopping caffeine completely might give you headaches. But then if you have excess amounts of caffeine you will find that you are getting very jittery so try and substitute it with green tea.
• A good idea would be to give your child a multi vitamin everyday. Vitamin B along with Omega 3 will help to increase the functionality of your brain. But then you will also need a range of other vitamins as well so that your body stays healthy.
• You can give your children protein shakes or smoothies or any sort of health drink. This is a really good idea if your see that your child is scared to eat. These drinks will help to give your child energy.

Method:
You need to put the entire flour in a mixing bowl and then you have to make a well in the middle of it. Then you add all the eggs and you have to add water to it also. But then it has to be enough so that you can make a pastry which is stiff. Then you have to roll the dough out and then cut it out into square pieces which are flat. Then you need a hotplate where you have to dry them out. If you don’t have a hot plate you can use a warm stove burner or a hot ungreased skillet or even the oven on a baking tile or a even on a pizza stone. You need to make sure that they are brown on both the sides. Then tear this into pieces. You don’t have to worry about how uniform you make it. After this put it in an oven proof dish.
Then boil water so that you can soak the mlinci in it and soak it in the water for 10 minutes. Then you rain it and then you can use it any recipe of your choice or with any other dripping. You either serve this with a salad or you serve it with a meat dish.

Disney Princess Gets Hitched
August 28th, 2010Looks like Miss Hillary Duff is single no more. This diva from Disney finally got married on Sunday with her pro hockey player hubby Mike Comrie. Unlike other huge celebrity wedding this Disney princess tied the knot in a very intimate ceremony which took place in a ranch called the San Ysidro Ranchi which is situated in Montecito in Calif. Now the newlyweds had worked really hard so that they could keep all the details about this picture perfect ceremony under raps.
The 22 year old diva wanted to have a wedding which was a quite affair away from all the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood. Looks like, they managed to get their wish to some extent since all we know about the guest list of A-Listers is her sister Haylie Duff. Haylie was also the maid of honor for the ceremony. Now, we expected this wedding to be completely hush – hush after what had happened earlier this year about the news of their engagement. The couple had gotten engaged earlier this year in February while they were on vacation in Hawaii but the private “moment of their engagement” was splashed all across the web and the experience was apparently awful for Hillary.
But then we could tell that she was gearing up for her wedding considering her pre wedding workout the other day. Her trained had commented on her saying that she look fantastic from her head to toe and that she was working on her arms and they were a lot leaner. Her trainer, Harley Pasternak also said that exercising helped to calm down the pre wedding jitters and it also helped to release stress.
But the couple didn’t manage to keep everything about their wedding under raps. We do know a few details which start with the brides wedding ring. The Edmonton Oiler cost Comrie a good million dollars. The bride was also seen walking out of Vera Wang with two garment bags. So we can make a little assumption about whose dress she wore down the aisle on her special day. Apart from this no further information is available about their wedding. Looks like the couple did manage to keep most of the details of the wedding quite after all. But we will soon know about all the details. Till then we wish the happy couple a good life for the future ahead.
