Birthday cake recipe

صورة
My personality falls somewhere around type A-. I like order, organization, a moderate routine and things done right, but only to a certain extent. My bed is made before I leave my room in the morning, I could tell you every item in my fridge and in what order I need to use said items to not waste any food, I give copies of my travel documents to my parents before I leave the country, I have never run out of gas, missed an appointment or been late on a payment. On the contrary, I have a terrible habit of not always putting on my seatbelt and exceeding the speed limit. I've been known to go days without drinking water. I choose which rules do and do not apply to me, hate reading or listening to directions and am a terrible measurer (which makes writing a cookbook sort of interesting). I have been wanting to make a layer cake for quite some time, it even made my list of 'things to do before I turn 30', so I set out to cross that off my list while I still have a few years to pe

Flourless chocolate date cake

Flourless chocolate date cake I rarely get overly descriptive about the recipes here but because I appreciate a bit of detail when I read other sites, I'm getting chatty. I tinkered with this recipe from  Green Kitchen Travels  as David and Luise are a go-to for more wholesome desserts. In the treat department, I like to know if I'm getting dense, super sweet, a healthier take, light and airy, or wherever it lies in the spectrum. There is a time and place for each of those sorts of desserts on different occasions. A flourless chocolate cake, classically speaking, is not really cake-like in texture at all. It is dense and rich and more similar to a brownie or fudge than cake and I am perfectly happy with that. This version is more wholesome - the refined sugar is replaced by a thick date paste that contributes a nice caramelly sweetness. I thought the dates would throw off the fudge factor, or maybe not make it as decadent and I was wrong. This cake is rich and chocolatey. The d

What should asthma patients know during a Coronavirus pandemic

The new respiratory coronavirus COVID-19 is particularly worrying for the 2.7 million Australians who already suffer from asthma. That's roughly  one in nine  people. Viral respiratory infections, in particular those that cause the common cold, typically trigger flareups of asthma. They are the main reason for asthma episodes in both children and adults during autumn and winter. So it's natural for asthmatics to fear they may be more at risk during the coronavirus pandemic. We do not yet know if asthma sufferers are at risk of more serious problems than others in the event of an infection, but they can do some things to reduce the impact of infection, whether catching a cold or a coronavirus infection. Good asthma control Asthma causes inflammation in the lining of the airways of the lung, and the condition is long-term for most asthma patients, adults or children. It can lead to a progressive narrowing of the alveoli, and normal lung function may no longer return. Good asthma

Coronavirus causes hepatitis!

Coronavirus causes hepatitis! A woman was transferred to the emergency department at Northwell Health Hospital in New York, where her laboratory tests showed high levels of liver enzymes with a dark color of urine, then her temperature rose on the second day of her care so that doctors would then discover her infection with the new Coronavirus, according to a report of researchers from the hospital. This is the first documented case of a patient with COVID-19 who suffered acute hepatitis symptoms as the first symptom of the disease before respiratory symptoms appeared, according to the report, which was published on the website of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. According to previous data on the disease, most of the early signs of COVID-19 infection are symptoms affecting the respiratory system such as fever, shortness of breath, sore throat and cough, in addition to pneumonia that is inferred by radiographs, although disruption of liver enzymes is not an uncommon symptom of

Virologists explain what the coronavirus does to the body

Coronavirus «coronaviruses» belong to a group of viruses that infect animals, and its name is derived from its crown-like or aura-like appearance, as it contains bulbs of bulbs that emerge from its surface and give it a distinctive look. COVID-19 disease was caused by the new coronavirus, SARS-Cove-2. Coronavirus infection is in one of two ways: either an infection in the lungs causes some cases that people call colds or an infection in the intestine that causes diarrhea. COVID-19 disease begins in the lungs, as is a common "cold" that is also caused by coronaviruses but then causes immune system sabotage which can lead to death or long-term lung damage. Genetically, the SARS-Cove-2 virus is very similar to other coronaviruses that affect the human respiratory system, such as the Coronavirus associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cove), and the Coronavirus associated with the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-Cove virus). However, subtle genetic diff

Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Cake Recipe

My oven currently smells like it's burning off the oil that had dripped to the bottom at some point. I should clean it; it really does interrupt the beautiful waft that comes from a springy cake in the oven. I have a handful of prospective projects I am back and forth about between two email addresses that while made with good intentions to keep personal and work separately have done no such thing. There are threads regarding a potential cookbook, a recipe and article assignment about avocados, a menu card for our fundraiser dinner and open items to finish filing our taxes. Woven in between are emails about Curran's first (overdue apparently, oops) dentist appointment, follow up on invoices and the receipt for that weird oversized shirt I ordered from Nordstrom that I keep there to remind myself to return it some night after the kids are down. I never feel like doing that once the kids are down... but I also don't like going to the mall with two spirited toddlers so you may
