The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love. The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general. The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
====================================
The Apple in the Bible
In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women. Continue reading ‘In the Quran: In Paradise, there are different kinds of fruit’ »
This Hungarian coffee cake recipe was given to me 25 years ago by my grandmother who loved to cook and bake. The cake does take some time to make…as you are making it completely from scratch. What I really enjoy about this recipe is the combined sweet and nutty taste.
When dissolving the yeast, make sure you use warm (not hot) water. If the water is too hot, you will kill the yeast and won’t get a good rise to your dough. Continue reading ‘How To Make A Hungarian Coffee Cake Dessert’ »

Obesity is, admittedly, an intricate issue that may depend on numerous factors. Genetics, eating habits, lifestyle and exercise are some of the most commonly referred causes of obesity. Although there is no single cause for obesity, researchers have correlated the increased consumption of sugary beverages with the rise of obesity in the United States, considering the soft drink consumption as one of the top contributors to the obesity problem.
In 2005, ‘Liquid Candy’, a report produced by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), suggested that soft drinks are the leading source of calories in the diet of Americans. Soft drinks have a high concentration of added sugars, and particularly, fructose corn syrup in each can. However, as fructose is known for not affecting appetite, people who regularly consume fructose-sweetened drinks do not feel satiated and thus overconsumption is encouraged. Besides, companies produce nearly 52 gallons of soda pop per year, enough to fill up every man, woman or child. Continue reading ‘How soft drinks contribute to obesity’ »
