One of my BIL don’t believe in using credit card. Maybe, he is scare that he could not control himself and overspend. One must have discipline and self-control to hold a few Credit Cards. I have a few of them, never overspend before. I make sure I have sufficient cash in my bank account to pay for my expenses when the bill comes. My main purpose of using credit card is to collect the reward points and get cash back rewards when spending. Rather than pay cash and you get nothing in return right? If you need to find out what kinda credit card that suits you spending style, check out CreditCardSearchEngine.com, one of the Internet’s longest running sites for online credit card comparison.

I seldom cook so I can’t remember the ingredients to all my recipe, especially those that I got from my mom. I jot them down in a small notebook. Since it is small, it went missing a few times but God is good, I managed to find it every time it went missing. Yesterday, I panic again. I wanted to blog about those recipes but I couldn’t find the recipe book. Oh No! Not again! Search high and low for it. Finally I found it in a pencil holder. Someone must have found it and put it there. I am going to post ALL the recipe in this blog. Backing it up here.
If my mom is no longer in this world, I won’t ever get to taste her dishes without the recipe book. Eh…my youngest sis can cook as good as her. Maybe I’ll bug her to cook for me.
I have never thought of buying any dishwasher but when the family returns for a holiday, a dishwasher will really helps to wash all those plates, pots, pans and spoons. At least 5 families with kids will be in this house. Just imagine the amount of washing that needs to be done. With this amount of washing to be done, I doubt the maid can wash them clean. If you too are considering to purchase a dishwasher, here’s a list of Maytag Dishwashers that I got from Krillion.com. Krillion delivers local search results that combine very specific product information with very specific locality information. It means that when consumers have completed their Internet research, they can grab their keys, hop into the car, drive to the store and buy the product.

I am really a rice eater. I can survive without rice. I bake my own bread too. I love making and eating sandwishes. With just a few bites, my hunger is satisfied. Here’s my favorite recipe:
3/4 pound cooked Peppered Pork Roast, thinly sliced
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Sliced of Bread
A daughter of a former church member of mine recently was introduced to Cari Makan by me. She was so happy to know that she can get extra income thru blogging. She wanted to be a globe trotter. I am sure she will be glad to know about educational student travel organizes by Hemisphere Travel. Not only they are affordable, their tour and travel specialists are former educators and are highly qualified to organize the best student tours imaginable. As she loves music very much, I am sure she will be extra excited to know that they also have Chicago Musical Tour.
