Rintis I am very finicky about cleanliness also because I have a little one at home. Hence I prefer that guests leave their footwear near the door when they enter. I don't think it is rude, it is ones way of living. Similarly I myself enter barefooted when I enter...

How do I stop stuff sinking...

savmot @savmot (261) 15 Sep 08

Whenever I bake a cake with stuff in (choc chips usually) they always just sink to the bottom of the cake... How do I get them to stay IN the cake, and not in a burnt layer at the bottom of it?

2 responses

Rintis Try dusting the choco chips in flour before adding them to the batter. Also add them at the end and do not stir. Also see that your baking dish is layered with butter paper. This will avoid burning at the bottom to some extent.

Do you think people adopt more for themselves or more to help children?

xcammiex @xcammiex (272) • United States 14 Sep 08

I have always wondered what people's motives for adopting were. Do you think it's because they want to have children and that is the only way for them or do you think it's because they really want to give a child a home? If it is...

Rintis Most people go ahead and adopt children when they can't have a child of their own. I think its ok because all said and done the abandoned child gets a home and parents love. Accepting somebody else's child and bring him/her up like our own is not an easy task....

Rintis Beating is a sin but getting beaten up and not reacting is a bigger one. Tolerating injustice is provoking the bully and feeding her ego. Every time a child is bullied, he/she loses self confidence, which is very harmful for the child. Her coming and telling...

Rintis Winters make soups more enjoyable. They also help to ward off cold. High in nutrition and great in taste, they are loved by many. I enjoy vegetable and chicken soup with lots of pepper. I also make mushroom and baby corn soup?
