Bread Ties (What Does Its Color Coding Mean?)

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. "

Teresa 

Did you know that you could actually tell which bread is the freshest when you're buying in the grocery store?

Bread is delivered fresh to the store 5 times a week and each day has its corresponding code via it's twist tie or the plastic tab.

What do the bread twist tie colors mean?

Monday    -    Blue

Tuesday   -    Green

Thursday -    Red

Friday       -    White

Saturday  -    Yellow

Most bread makers color-code their twist ties to indicate what day of the week the bread was baked. This is useful for a couple of reasons: 1) It lets consumers know how fresh the bread loaf is, and 2) It signals to employees when to remove the bread from the shelves. Usually, there are five different colors, indicating the five-day delivery schedule (which skips Wednesdays and Sundays, supposedly because bread is not baked on those days).

CAVEAT: This is not always the case of all bakeshops but most of 'em follow this rule when delivering fresh bread to the store.

So the next time you buy bread to the grocery story, mind those twist ties or plastic tabs so you can benefit for the freshness of the dough.

Or better yet, check the date - when it's best before to consume... this is now the normal FYI in the PH grocery stores.

sleepless

"Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing. "

-Giuseppe Mazzini 

the footprints blown by the gust of winds
retentions in the past forgotten and buried deep
only to get resurrected like soul from a crypt

to yearn companionship lest solitude embrace
fear not, to endless imagination of unhearken cries
trust not, to seamless and genuine lies

restlessness in bed till dawn
to win the ending repose of a lonely tone
and miss the pain to which it brings alone

'tis so hard to make at peace
and now the puzzle's left undone
now close thy eyes to see you gone

so lost in mem'ry that now is time to heal
but how? when everything is so unreal

sleepless.

Top 2 Free iPhone app of the week

(app images courtesy of Apple's appStore)

My top 2 picks for this week's free iphone app themed about survival and practical applications. Emergency cases like how to clot a gashed wound is indispensable, i had an open cut on both of my hands sometime last week. The china bowl inside the kitchen cabinet suddenly slipped as i opened the locker, causing the bowl to shatter into pieces as it landed on the tiled dashboard, in my attempt to catch by saving the bowl out of my surprise, i felt a sudden pang of pain on my right hand as blood squirted on my middle finger. I looked at my left hand as well, only to get taken aback that it was gashed also. I washed my cuts on a running water but the bleeding just won't stop. 5 minutes, 6, minutes, 7 minutes, and blood is still coming out.

In pain, i managed to navigate through my iPhone's wikiHow survival kit. All the rest are explained there how i managed to clot the blood from my fingers.

On the plus side, this WikiHow app is so convenient that you don't need a wifi or data plan on your phone to view the helpful articles.

WIKIHOW

And the 2nd app i'd like you to DL is the free HowCast application. This is an accidental win actually, i happen to cook most of the time these days, without hesitating to check some how-to's in making things easier in the kitchen, it dawned on me this wonderful tip on how to perfectly unclad the eggshell of a hardboiled egg. Hahaha! So that was how i discovered this Howcast app.

HowCast

Sit back, the topics here are not only for kitchen how-to's; it gives a plethora of subjects. Even a how to deal with a Flasher is in it. (i was laughing out loud literally while watching that howcast video about a flasher). I thought this app is just so visual and brief. The briefness is curt but it wont leave you unsatiated with what it has to offer.




I'll post some juicy apps that i know you'll love, t'will make your testosterone and estrogen levels humming. See you next week for the two apps i'm talking. :)

Don't Catch Me If I Fall...

"the most beautiful things are those Unseen"

-unknown 

Touch me when you're away

pained by the distance

of longing and tenderness of grey

see me when you're gone
muddled by the tear drop
only in the vents of courage


feel me when you're weary
of heart; so long been empty
to quell thy mind's serenity


hear me when you're nowhere
echoes to burn no further
let live my spirit aloft


kiss me when you're crazy
to seal my never-ending love
just in time for life's surrender





will you hate me when i'm gone?
for worse i feel no more
of devouring the fire and sore


will you miss me when i'm gone?
for the moments uplifted our souls
carved into the breath of the winds


will you remember me when i'm gone?
if only the leaves could unfall
to frailty of nothingness

will you love me when i'm gone?

for deep of blue cannot compare

the bliss you have shared so rare....
