Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Eat, Drink & Enjoy

As with most days, more than one celebration is in store. Not too sure the two go together at the same time but you never know. Maybe one could be incorporated in the other. Each of us have individual tastes so what is good to one may not be so for the other and visa versa. The celebrations at hand consist of one food and one beverage.

For the foodie celebration, March 13 is...
Coconut Torte Day

 Um-m-m-m? Sure looks like a cake! (Recipe)
Perhaps we should begin by answering a question: What is the difference between a cake and a torte? Simply put a torte is a cake basically of denser texture. Torte is a German word for cake. Cakes are made with flour (usually cake flour) alone, which tends to make their texture lighter. For the torte, some of the flour is substituted with almond meal or some other nut meal, even at times breadcrumbs. Easy to visualize now why the torte is heavier. Best way to enjoy this day is to eat cake...oops! I mean torte!

Homemade Dry Ginger Ale (Recipe)
Ginger Ale has been known to help ease the queasiness of an upset stomach. Your familiarity with this fizzy beverage may or may not be with the sickie stomach or perhaps even motion sickness. It may simply be you like its taste. But, there is no doubt as to its innumerable health benefits. As with the torte, this too begs a question: Is there real ginger in Ginger Ale?
