My friend has been searchng for a digital camera for a month. I introduce her to get one at Buy.com. She is so happy to find this model, the Canon PowerShot SD750. It has a 3-inch LCD screen, 0.77-inch width, 7.1 megapixels, a 3X optical zoom lens and automatic exposure modes which is just perfect for my friend who is going abroad soon. The digtal camera SD750 is so convenient and small that it can put into the pocket and go anywhere with it. The Canon SD1000 has the same features and exposure modes but slightly smaller 2.5-inch
LCD screen. Both the cameras have the similar performance but the SD750 has the advantage of the 3-inch LCD screen which is good for the failing eye sight, but the SD1000 is very much cheaper.

until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Meanwhile, peel the banana and

blend together with the lime juice. Add banana puree into mixture and beat until well

combine. Sift flour and baking powder together and fold into the mixture. Pour into 20 cm

square tin lined with greased proof paper and bake for one hour or until a skewer comes

Bananas are always available in Malaysia throughout the year. They are cheap and among the

most versatile of local fruits. Malaysians are lucky to have so many types of bananas to

choose from and usually they cost about RM3.00 or more for a large comb. Some bananas are

good for frying and making puddings are cost less. Those top grade may cost a bit

expensive. Top quality bananas should be bought when they appear firm, fresh and plump.

The tastiest method is just peel and eat them raw.After being kept in the home for two

days, they will become solid yellow, flecked with dark spots. If refrigerated at this

stage they may keep a few more days to eat. You must avoid bananas which are dull yellow

with a smoky appearance.

Bananas are delicious and nourishing snack on their own and and have excellent flavour.

They go well with many food such as baking, frying and make into puddings or use in

curries. They are rich in potassuim and vitamin A,B and C. They are also rich in calcium,

fat, iron, phosphorus and iron.

If you are one who love indoor plants but do not have the time to tend to them, there is a better solution, Nearly Natural Silk plants. These silk trees look so real, that you will be amazed. These plants are almost live and they even feel real. They actually hire designers in the live plant industry and research on the right textures so that the plants resemble the real thing as much as possible. Their range of silk bamboo plants is one of my favorites. They offer silk flowers and silk floral arrangement as well. These are perfect as housewarming gifts, anniversary gifts or even gifts for new businesses. If these plants are well taken care of, they can last for a long long time.

Here are some hints for preparing a sponge pudding and egg custards:

(a) Why are you advised to let the water boil rapidly when you start cooking a sponge

pudding? To ensure that the raising agent in the mixture has a chance to work and to make

the pudding light. When the pudding has risen you may then lower the heat to complete

cooking.

(b) Why are you inclined to get tiny particles of egg floating on the top of an egg

custard? This happens when some of the egg yoke has blended with the milk. There are two

ways to avoid this: (i) strain the custard carefully gefore cooking; (ii) Beat the eggs

and sugar very thoroughly before adding the milk

(c) Why are you told to stand baked egg custards and certain puddings and other foods in a

dish of cold water in the oven? The dish of cold water whichis called a “bain-marie”

ensures that an egg custard does not become too hot and curdle. In some recipes it also

make certain that the outside of the food does not become dry ( a pate is the best example

of this).

(d) Why are you often told to cook or heat food in the top of a double saucepan? This can

be for a variety of reasons according to the particular recipe: (i) Egg custards will tend

to curdle more easily unless set over hot, but not boiling water. (ii) Chocolate will lose

its gloss and become hard and dry if melted over a direct heat. It should always be melted

over hot but not boiling water.
