CANNOT DRINK WINE, EAT IT.

From my view point everybody above 25 years of age should have moderate amount of Red Wine. Moderate amount is one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. I have seen and studied; moderate drinkers have a lower heart risk and lower coronary heart disease than heavy or non drinkers. A glass of Red Wine increases health benefits and Cancer Protection as it is rich in Antioxidants.

I am not fond of drinking wine be it Red or White Wine but I like when I cook it. You will never taste the Wine once it is cooked. Believe me; one can cook anything from Red Wine. The key point is it has to be a good Red Wine to cook. Always go for a sweeter version of Red Wine for cooking so that the taste infused in the food should not destroy the basic taste of the other ingredients.

Hereunder is one recipe with Red Wine which can be cooked by any one as it involves only two steps and two kitchen appliances which yields endless taste and health benefits. Food and Drink all in one, what else a Bachelor, a busy and a Reluctant food lover could ask for.

LIFETIME INVESTMENT

The point is how much we get from the money. In today’s world is it clever to invest the saving or save it? We spend, save and invest our hard earned money for the present and future safety and progress; it is a myth. We spend half of our earning on our skin and pleasure, one fourth goes into the hand of the bank for payment of the loan debt and the final chunk is left for our daily needs. Why to live in so much pressure, our life doesn’t deserve this. Why we can’t ever learn to live surprisingly happy in whatever we have and can have conveniently.

My saving and investment is on the daily basis. I don’t believe in handing over my money to a certified professional investor, when I can do better than him. I love cooking not because I don’t like eating out; In fact I love exploring cuisines and restaurants but home cooked food actually satisfy me better. Here is my saving by not going out for meal and investment by perfecting my cooking talent which I can cash anytime by getting a job in restaurants or by catering. I love writing but I just cannot stand reading not because I cannot read, it’s just that I don’t find reading as captivating as writing. Here is no saving as such but I invest by writing blogs and recipes which gets me the publicity. I don’t like shopping which actually saves me a lot of money. I think the more dresses or appliances you have the more confusion is there, maintenance is there and wastage of time is there. I love travelling a lot rather than going to shopping malls I prefer going out of the city/ country and have fun or visiting my hometown which connects me to my roots and livens my taste buds. Here is my saving of my mental peace, self awakening, and knowledge about culture, place and people. Here is my investment for lifetime experience. I make donations to needy children and people. Here is my saving, my positive thinking and good intention. My investment is what I get in return is the power and right to take care of someone which is never a mistake.
My husband earns for above mentioned lifestyle. What else one earns money for? The answer that I get for this question is, for children and their future. For me I don’t need children as we already have so many in needs, which I love to help and I help them indeed.
I am not denying the power of savings or investment, the only misconception I want to get clear is why to invest by depositing our bulk earnings instead by spending and saving on daily basis which in return gives us the experience of life and less stress for healthy living. Lets keep happy ourselves, world will be happy by themselves. This is not a Myth.
