Enjoyed a relaxing and busy weekend. I think everyone in Austin is so much looking forward to Rahman concert next week. He is my favorite musician on earth. I will be overjoyed if I can get his autograph , but chances are remote :). To read a post that I wrote about Rahman check here God of music .
For all of you travelling to India with kids check this post for checklist of things to keep in mind before you leave Travelling to India with kids?? Check this post :). It is always a good idea to carry some toys for kids. I have listed some of them here Travel toys.
Usually we buy vegetables and wash them and use them. After reading a lot about organic , GMO we started buying organic vegetables and fruits. It took a lot for us to convince ourselves to make the switch. Even though organic fruits and vegetables are expensive , over a period of time when you think about your health, it makes real sense to buy them . Check out this video if you are still debating whether to make this switch.
Organic certified does not mean wax free. Produce could be organically grown but in the store something could be sprayed or done to them to increase their shelf life.One of our friend told us the importance of washing all vegetables in warm water and vinegar. To my surprise I see a lot of wax and sticky thing coming out when you put the veggies like tomato, bell pepper , berries and apples in warm water and vinegar. You can see the wax in this pic.
If you dont buy organic products think about switching and even if you switch it is advisable to wash them in warm water and vinegar and then rinse them again in cold water and use. For 3 cups of warm water add one table spoon of distilled vinegar and soak it for at-least 20-25 minutes. Later remove the veggies/fruits and rinse it in cold water and air dry it before storing it in refrigerator.
