Mr. Opposition - Marie Curie's Arch Nemesis

Like any good comic book story, a villain always pops up at the worst time in the story to cause trouble for the superhero. In Marie Curie and the Power of Persistence (now available for pre-order on IndieGoGo), the villain she must overcome is called Mr. Opposition (who changes his name to Monsieur O when she moves to France).

Cooking With Teenager: Hash Browns

When my teenager was a child, I read a lot of articles that say: inviting children to make food can train their fine motor while having fun! That's very true! Prepare the ingredients, slicing, sorting the beans, weighing the flour, those are some examples of activities that all the kids can do while cooking with the mother, which will eventually produce the delicious food they will enjoy. This kind of lesson will be fun and memorable of having fun with mom.

The Music Grows In The Yard, Is It Possible?

Music can’t be separated from everyday life. Music is part of our lives. We can get pleasure from listening to music, feeling sad, sympathetic, and fear because of the music. This awareness about the emotion that is affected by the music makes the film industry use music to influence the audience. In the family, parents can use music to direct the emotions of children to stay calm or to be happy.

Cooking With Teenager: Raisins Bread

It’s been two years we lived in this coastal remote area, there is one daily necessity we didn’t get: bread! In our home town, the bread seller came through the front of our house every morning, we only have to call them and then we've got bread for breakfast. Nowadays, there is not a single store here that regularly sells bread, some shops do sell bread they get from the town, but the bread is contains many preservatives, it is not good for our health.

Baking our own bread is the only choice. But without bread maker tools, the process will be very tiring. Bread mixer and bread maker are two tools that we can use. But I choose bread maker rather than the mixer.

Cooking With Teenager: Egg Wrapping Fried Rice

Today I will share with you how to make an omelet as a food wrapper. This cooking idea came from my teenage son, and we cooked it together. Although in some try he failed when rocking the wok to spread the egg dough, but some were successful! And he didn’t give up.

I have written the delicious fried rice recipe a few years ago, you can read here.

The challenge of making this omelet is when you rock the wok to spread the dough. Often, the failure occurs because the pan is too hot, here is the tip: use the very low fire level, so that the dough will not cook before spread on the whole surface of the pan.
