I love eating, but will drag my feet, and hand, and every organs in my body to do any cooking. Sometimes, I do wonder how do I survived having eaten some of my so called 'home cooked' dishes. Anyway, I tried my hardest to search, well more like rummage, through my very limited knowledge of dishes and came up with this recipe.

It's a very simple recipe, and unfortunately not limited to holiday season. I chose this recipe because it's simple, and the ingredients, I hope easily available to everyone

I am new here and have been looking at all of the interesting things this site has to offer. I have found several things that will help me teach English.

So today I discovered the Word of the Day and in that area, there was the Slang Word of the Day. The Slang word for today is Dope. What was the correct answer for what a dope is? An idiot or stupid person.

But I can think of 2 more meanings for the word dope. Can anyone guess them?

Have you ever wondered why is everybody going crazy about learning English? Don’t you think things will be a whole lot easier if you will just focus on your native language? Why learn English when you can communicate in your local language at home? Why is English so important that learners are willing to spend time and money just to be fluent in it? These are the questions that some of my students asked. The answer is very simple: English is the universal language.

English is widely spoken in dif

On 14 January 2015, once again I had to travel to Sandakan to attend a meeting. Since there was only one direct flight to Sandakan, as usual, it was going to be a 2-day trip. I reached Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) with an ample time to spare since I had checked-in through my mobile. 

As you may have known, it's a monsoon season in Malaysia, so it's always raining, though lately it was not that bad. The flight was 2 and 1/2 hour, and there was no in-flight entertainment. So I spent my

All of us has their own taste in choosing a partner, a person who has all the traits that we are looking for as its our right to expect that we want to be with someone whom we dreamed of. Its not wrong to find a person whom we want to be on our side forever who will fulfill our dreams and fantasies and make it in real. So what are the common things that we like to have for a partner?

Hi everyone! I’m not much into literary stuff, but there are few literary works, which I like to read over and over, yet they don’t let me be bored rather I enjoy reading them. Sometime we find a piece of work so true so near to what we believe and think, quoting them can be just like expression of our own inner deep feelings, or sometime it gets us to some realization, encourages us or gives us hope. It may help to get over something disturbing. In my case ‘IF’ , by Rudyard Kipling, is one of t

I live on my own and I am happy like this. Only my family - I mean my husband and my kids. Some of you might opose that families should stay together but from my point of view it can sometimes create many generational conflicts. Here in my country living with elder generation isn't so common, maybe more in the villages but in the city we definately prefer own privacy.

I always try to get known local food, I mean Bangladeshi cuisine when I step out from my country. Though, sometimes, I like to taste other cuisines also.

In true sense, I am a bit scared person. I scare of many things. May be it is one of the reasons of my local food loving habit. Secondly, I always like to think in this way that if I try new items of food, it may kill my time. You know during traveling how important time is! Another point is, My stomach is used to our own cuisine. So, it may get

Are you ready for another writing challenge? I hope so. Let's try to write an argumentative essay.

Essay is a short piece of writing. Argumentative writing is different from narrative writing, descriptive writing or expository writing. Argumentative writing can be so useful, not only in taking an English test such as TOEFL, but also in sharpening your writing skills. Writing or composing an argumentative essay can be so challenging, though. 

First, you need to know what an argumentative or persuas

I read here many blogs lately about the affair in France. I think there exist two radical opinions and of course that these are influenced by the environment, religion, culture we live in. I am average European woman. I planned to visit the UK in spring and honestly after reading today's news I am not sure, if going to the west is a good decission. To be sincere, I am sort of scared and I simply don't want to find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
