Well I just found something really interesting and couldn't resist myself to share this with you. As this blog is a birthday blog I thought of posting this here as it will benefit you when it comes to birthday recipe. I just found the web buzzing with something -- mediterranean diet. Most of us were with a wrong notion that the lower in fat a diet is, the better it is for our health.Modern research denies it, belying the long-held belief that low-fat diets are best!

As usual I was in the net the last night when I suddenly landed on a page that says researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, carried out a study with 322 obese subjects. The outcome of the research was that the so-called Mediterranean diet (a diet characterized by heavy fats, fruits and veggies) beats out the low-fat diet when it comes to health benefits.

So guys, when it comes to choosing a birthday recipe next time there's no harm picking the high-fat Mediterranean diet. Just keep in mind that recent study that was published in the British Medical Journal reports that Mediterranean diet "helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 83 percent."

Now you can plan for a 'Mediterranean diet' themed birthday party where the recipes can be based on Italian and Greek flavor. Just imagine a birthday party where guests will be served plenty of foods, having health benefits such as vegetables, fruits, olive oil, whole grains, fish, legumes and saturated fats, meat, dairy etc. and not just only a birthday cake and some snacks. A moderate consumption of alcohol would just be a perfect blast!

• Grated Carrot - half cup

Here's how to make:

step 1: Get prepared - preheat the oven to 350° and grease and flour the cake tin
step 2: Puree the minced lamb meat in a blender with the eggs and corn oil. You can also use a food processor.
step 3: Add the vegetables to the meat mixture and blend together properly until they are mixed completely.
step 4:Mix flour and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl and stir in oatmeal properly until the blending is properly done.
step 5: Make a well right in the center of the flour and gently stir in the blended mixture; mix it well.

step 10: For 'icing' the pet birthday cake you can use a spread, made from either cream cheese or yogurt. Spread the top of the cake with 'Icing' before serving.
Note: Never use chocolate in any dog diet.

Ahh... it was a real fun watching out the movie and having Budweiser and lobster finger sandwiches. It was a fun not because of the fact that the movie was good, but because of Christy's company. I like that kind of woman - like smart Casey, who makes a life and death decision, to thrive with the consequences, when her grandfather Charlie falls ill. So that day was full of fun with Christine, Rex, lobster finger sandwiches, chilled Budweiser and staring Jordy Benattar.

I like lobster finger sandwiches. And that was the recipe that moved the guests of Mrs. Taylor. What I simply like about it is that it's as easy to make as it is to make people rock! I never knew about it until I found it in the net. Here's how to make it i 5 easy steps. This makes 12. Read on...



Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise
• 1 medium-large lobster, meat removed, finely chopped
• 1 medium sized lime, 1 tablespoon juice and rind finely grated
• 1 cup alfalfa sprigs
• 6 slices white sandwich bread
• 6 slices wholemeal sandwich bread
• 45 g butter

Direction:

Step 1: Take a bowl and pour the lime rind, lime juice and mayonnaise. Sprinkle salt (as desired) and pepper in a bowl. Combine them well.

Step 2: Place 3 slices of white and 3 slices of wholemeal sandwich breads on a flat surface and liberally spread the lime mayonnaise mixture. Top that with finely chopped lobster.

Step 2: Butter both sides of the sandwich breads (both white and wholemeal) properly. Place wholemeal bread slices on white topped slices, and white bread slices over wholemeal topped slices. Press them gently.

Step 3: Put alfalfa sprigs on the sandwiches and liberally spread remaining mayonnaise mixture onto any one side of bread slices that are remaining.

Step 4: Place the breads, mayonnaise side down over alfalfa sprigs. Also spread white breads over wholemeal bread slices and wholemeal over white breads. Then press gently to secure.

Step 5: Trim off the crusts from sandwiches and cut each sandwich into 3 fingers. Place on a platter and cover it well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until required.

This Mothers Day was really awful for me, even though my mom gave me the most shrieking surprises ever. I am feeling bad for I couldn't give much time to my parents, John and Christine. But I could not leave Rachel alone either. We took her to the specialist who diagnosed her with mild heart attack. The good is that the condition is not so grave, as the doctor said. She is under constant cardiac rehabilitation program. I hope she will get well soon.

This morning, I suddenly felt that I need some rest... we all in fact. I'm talking about all of us who rushes up and down to the hospital every day, including Rachel. I am staying back at home with my parents today. I'm feeling a bit relieved from stress because we now know that Rachel's mom is almost out of danger and she's recovering fast. I'm going to make the awesome Rainbow of Oysters that has always been the best dish in Azule's cuisine. I'm good in this. And guess what!! Dance Like a Chicken Day is on May 15th. Why not celebrate the event a little in advance with some special chicken recipe also? I wish I could call Christy and Rachel over but they are too tired. I told mom that I was not going out I was taking a day off.. She was so happy as if she just got the news of winning a lottery. Dad was overjoyed when I told him that I'm going to make a special dish. He is also a great foodie like me! He wanted to join me in the kitchen. But before that he wanted to sit with my computer. "You know, it is gonna be the Friends week the next week?" I wonder, dad is still young at heart... just like Uncle Fred. He still looks for the ways to reach out to his friends during special events with his messages. This keeps him remain happy. This is good for heart! Stay tuned... I gotta go spend some quality time with them and some really good food. Enjoy the summer!

I know, you are waiting to learn how I managed the situation with Christine's chocolate custard. It was really the toughest situation I had ever faced. Christine was so happy to see me eating the chocolate custard she made herself! How could I tell her that her custard couldn't be swallowed? It was really awful and I couldn't bear the taste any longer; nor could I throw it away. I was still looking for the smile on her face. She was so excited... she told me "You know Mike, I never knew that I could be such a good cook. This is the first time I ever made something." "Christy, it's really awesome... and this is the first time for me too to get such a grand surprise," I said. I wanted her to taste it a bit. What better way could I say this than by saying to her, "Let's celebrate together, Christy."?

I was waiting for her to take the first spoon in her mouth. As soon as she tasted it, she just jumped up, as if her chair was charged with high voltage electricity! She rushed into the bathroom and came out for a couple a minutes washing her face. She was a bit ashamed. She could not find what to say. I tried to make things lighter. "Hey! That was a nice way to pull pranks on friends. Why can't we play this on Matt, Uncle Fred and Rachel on April fool's Day next time?" She was quiet for some time. "Mike, don't mind... I gotta go, but I promise I'll be there on Fred's birthday with a real surprise for ya." Before I could say her anything she went off. She arrived, we celebrated and she went. It was like an hour of Hurricane Katrina that blew something out of my brain.

I wanted to tell her about John. He's arriving this evening. It's been almost three years since we met. I wanted to take Christine to the airport to pick John, but I don't think she is going to meet me again today. As soon as I finish off this post I will call Christy. Let's see what happens next!

Friends... something really interesting happened yesterday and I cannot resist my temptation talking to you about it. I will never forget May 4th 2008. I was feeling a bit low and went for a walk yesterday but headed back home early. I was hanging on my couch with all the notes on the art of wine making that I got from Jack. Wine Day is right around the corner (May 25th) and Uncle Fred's birthday is on May 18th. I thought I should get myself ready to give him a surprise. Why not celebrating the Wine Day a little in advance on Fred's birthday?

I saw Rex rushing towards the door wagging his tail. Just when got up to see who it was, I heard Christine calling Rex, asking him to open the door. Did she come to meet me or Rex? I opened the door and we had a great surprise... "Hey Mike, I cooked something for you and Rex," she said with a bright smile on her face. This was the first time that she surprised me. I didn't know that she was a good cook, too. Rex was so happy... he probably knew that Christine was a great cook!

"Why can't we celebrate Chocolate Custard Day a day earlier?" said Christine. Chocolate custard! My mouth started watering. She went to my kitchen, took out two plates. Rex followed her in the kitchen, stood on his two legs trying to lick Christine's face. She said, "I bought a special treat for you, Rex". She served the custard to me on a plate and kept half for herself. She said "Mike, you have it first... I'm sure you will like it. I made it myself." Rex finished off his treat in two big gulps, wagging his tail. It might be really delicious! Now it was my turn to taste the chocolate custard.

I was shocked. It was really tasteless. I wondered if she had added salt instead of sugar! It was the tough to swallow. Was it the time to prove how much I loved her? She had that bright smile on her face... "Yes Mike, how is it? I know you will love it! This was the first time I cooked something and I made it just for you. It was a great experience cooking a special dish for someone special!"

Stay tuned to learn how I handled the situation...
