Nutella Cookies

As usual, this weekend I decided to make something yummy and delicious to try. Not just any something, though, but cookies. Specifically Nutella Cookies. (I need to warn you now, the Nutella is made with nuts so if you are allergic, DO NOT MAKE)

I’m not a cookie fan. I mean, to be perfectly honest, I’m a not a sweets fan. I don’t like cookies or cakes or donuts. Hell, I didn’t even eat my own…

Honey, Apple and Carrot Dog Treats

Do you have a pet that is a super fussy eater?  We sure do!  In fact, we have TWO… Lila and Rumo are our beautiful Alaskan Malamute twins… and they can be ridiculously picky about what they will eat, especially when it comes to dog treats. One of our dogs’ favourite New Thing A Day challenges I did back in 2015 was learning how to make them some homebaked dog biscuits.  I have tried a number of…

Mental health trust pays damages over man's death in tower block fire

A mental health trust has paid out damages over the case of a man with bipolar disorder and a history of lighting fires who was trapped in a blaze at his cluttered tower block flat.

Bob Crane, 61, a well-known character in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol, had been cooking on open fires at his seventh-floor council flat for more than a year because his electricity had been cut off.

Concerns were repeatedly raised that Crane was putting himself and his neighbours at risk, but he died of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning after his cooking fire got out of control.

Crane’s son, Alex, told the Guardian his father was treated as an antisocial nuisance rather than a vulnerable man with a serious untreated mental illness, and criticised agencies involved for failing to work in a joined-up way to keep him and other residents safe.

He said: “No one was...

Girl Smarts: Is sushi healthy?

That's true-for the most part. But certain rolls (ahem: the fried and mayo-laden Kamikaze roll) are closer to French fries in nutrition, says Jessica Perez, R.D.

You've seen the Instagram quotes: You had me at sushi. Soy happy together. Keep calm and eat sushi. Corny, sure, but it's all good because sushi = fish = totally healthy.

That's true-for the most part. But certain rolls (ahem: the fried and mayo-laden Kamikaze roll) are closer to French fries in nutrition, says Jessica Perez, R.D.

Not a big deal once in a while-but if you didn't intend for your seaweed salad to come with a side of saturated fat, disturbing nonetheless.

So yeah...is sushi healthy?

Yes, Perez says...but again, it it really depends on what you order.

Aim for a serving of fatty fish like salmon at least once a week, she says. Fatty fish contains memory-boosting omega-3 fatty acids, so it gets a big thumbs up from most R.D.s.

 But there's a catch: You should be mindful of your intake of fatty fish like tuna and mackerel, which tend to be higher in mercury. Mercury, of course, is linked to birth defects and can be toxic if consumed at high levels-although some of these fears have been overblown.

Perez recommends only having one or two tuna rolls, and getting the rest of your protein from shrimp, eel, or scallops. (For reference, the FDA says women of childbearing age should eat two to three servings per week of low-mercury fish.)

The other downside of sushi: One roll can contain up to one cup of rice, according to Perez. Yeah, that's a lot.

White rice doesn't have much fiber, and it can really spike your blood sugar (leading to a crash, and TBH, probably cravings). So you really don't want to eat more than a cup and a half of rice total all day-and no more than two-thirds a cup at a time, she says. Ask for fiber-rich brown rice when eating out, or swap the white stuff for cauliflower rice or quinoa when you’re making sushi at home. (Also, damn, congrats on being able to DIY it, girl.)

Of course, if you’re immunosuppressed (undergoing chemo, coping with an autoimmune disease, or pregnant) you should steer clear of raw fish altogether. Raw foods carry a slightly higher risk of passing along a bacterial infection, according to Perez. Cooked fish is still on the table, though.

Healthy sushi options

The fewer crunchy and creamy add-ons, the better. Swap the spicy mayo for a side of pickled ginger for a similar zing. It's lower in fat, plus the health benefits of ginger are real.

Here are some great options to order:

The California Roll, which includes clean ingredients like avocado, crab, and cucumber.

The Vegetarian Roll, which can include tofu, avocado, and a variety of fresh vegetables like carrot and bell pepper.

Sashimi, which is a plain slice of raw fish, or nigiri, which comes with a base of rice (brown is better).

Perez says rolls like these should be avoided (or treated as an occasional indulgence):

The Dragon Eye, which is fried on the outside.

The Boston Roll, which contains fried shrimp.

The Kamikaze Roll, which is loaded with mayo and tempura.

The Philadelphia Roll, which contains cream cheese (you’re better off getting your calcium from less processed sources!).

Tempura or panko rolls, which are just fried filler.

“Get a salmon roll, a veggie roll, and California roll, and that’ll be plenty,” Perez says.

The bottom line: There’s room for sushi in your diet-in moderation. Consider limiting rolls that are fried or filled with other high-calorie ingredients.

It's Normal with ADHD To...

Following in the footsteps with the game's original PC version, the Pocket Edition of Minecraft now supports unlimited sized worlds on iOS and Android devices.  Thursday's latest update to the mobile version from the block-building game was reported by Kotaku on with new infinite world feature that has been newly included with Minecraft: Pocket Edition.

<!-- INFOLINKS_OFF --> <!-- INFOLINKS_ON -->The days of while using old square design with walls are long finished the newest inclusions in Backyard Monsters. It will be torn apart by the flying, healing monster: the Zafreeti. Champions will easily break through such simple designs while wreaking chaos on your defenses and resources.

Customers, people renting the server, possess the most treatments for the overall game. They are the ones who get a new server and choose who does and have access to the network. On a dedicated server, the client can start to play the game although taking on the hosting duties. Players who don't want treating the network and merely need to play the overall game can ask for permission to sign up the many networks. Joining a network run off of a dedicated or shared server delivers a much more reliability then the network becoming run using a no cost server. Totally free servers aren't identified for his or her reliability. This makes it more difficult for players to establish friends around the network.

Time management games are available for most mobile platforms, offering users the chance to embark on different tasks and exercises. For instance, you might like to play games that want one to cook things such as Cooking Dash or Diner Dash, or you might be a little more interested in something somewhat mystical like Mystic Emporium.

If your opponent uses hard hitting units, such as D.A.V.E combined with the Zafreeti, you simply must mix things up a lttle bit. To bypass the healing power of the Zafreeti, you will need several upgraded Eye-ra in your bunkers. These will destroy the D.A.V.E unit a single explosion before the Zafreeti carries a possiblity to heal. To take care from the remaining Zafreeti, you will need to utilize the upgraded D.A.V.E unit. This will provide unit a chance to hit air units. They are also effective against Teratorn. Eye-ra will not likely hit air units.
