Spice it up!


Have you ever heard  of Golden Milk? In the season of flu and running noses it might not be the worst idea to drink it. Lately, I’ve been more concerned about what I eat on a daily basis and as I was putting more thought into it, I’ve encountered an interesting recipe. Turmeric Golden Milk is supposed to be The Ancient Drink that will change your life – seduced by this bold statement,  I’ve decided to click in the link and find out how so. And well, it probably won’t come to you as a surprise if I tell you how long was the list of it’s benefits. Calms your stomach, aids digestion, helps you relax due to its soothing properties, etc. The preparation time was calculated to 2 minutes and I basically couldn’t ruin it. I didn’t need more encouragement. I went for it and to my surprise it even turned out to be tasty. That’s why I decided to share it with you. So, to prepare Golden Milk you will need:
- 1 cup of milk (if you’re lactose intolerant or vegan: use coconut or almond milk)
- 2 teaspoons of honey (vegan: agave or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon of ground ginger
- additional: 1 teaspoon of peanut or almond butter
Now all you have to do is to combine all the ingredients, heat over medium heat- do not let it boil (whisking so that the almond/peanut butter won’t stick to the bottom), pour into the mug and enjoy it 😉

Gingerbread Tradition

We still have over a moth till Christmas, but those of you who are thinking about baking gingerbreads, have to prepare themselves early enough. It is essential to bake gingerbreads at least 3 weeks earlier, if you want them to be soft on Christmas day. Of course it all depends on the recipe and  measurements of the ingredients. Basic gingerbread’s dough should be composed of wheat flour, rye flour, honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. But  obviously exist millions of recipes, that may vary in different countries and regions. The history of gingerbreads date back to ancient times, when their first version appeared in Romanian Imperium. In Middle Aggies they became more popular thanks to monasteries and monks who were importing spices from the east in times of crusades. The tradition of baking gingerbreads became more and more popular during the years, especially around Christmas time. We not only bake them but the most important part of process is decorating.

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual. So, not to prolong: thing was happening in California. 67-years old woman was found in her house with wounds around her head and neck. Last person who saw her that day was her father, 80-years old Anthony Aiello. While asked about their meeting, he testified that they ate together and that they parted on good terms. Little did he know, that   his daughter wore a fitness tracker on her wrist. Smartwatches like this can show us how many steps we make during the day, what’s our daily calories intake and among many others: they can measure our heartbeat. So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...

The power of imagination

You know when they told us that reading a book can change us? Well, recently it has been   proven. The scientists have conducted a research and it has showed that each book we read can affect and change our brain. The experiment lasted 19 days and each day in the morning the volunteers were examined with the magnetic resonance. After five days of not reading anything at all, the participants were to read 30 pages of Robert Harris’s Pompei- in the evening and next day-in the morning their knowledge was tested by a short quiz about the content of the book and after that: their brains were once again examined with the magnetic resonance. Last five days, just like at the very beginning, they didn’t read anything. The results were surprising. In brief: our brains were acting as if we were taking part in the activities described in the book. While reading, we tend to imagine ourselves being characters of the stories and it was visible on the resonance. Of course, there’re some scien...
