THE STORY

THE ANTS AND THE GRASSHOPPER
----------------------------------
THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

MORAL: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

SPICED CUBED STEAK WITH SAVOURY RICE
-------------------------------------------
Ingredients

1kg Cubed Steak - 7 ml Salt to taste - 1 ½ tsps ground Dhania - 1 tsp Ground Jeero - 1 tsp crushed - dired red chillies - 3 tsps plain Ginger/Garlic - 3 whole cloves - 3 whole allspice - 3 cardomon seeds (elachi) - 2 pieces stick cinnamon - A few strands of Saffron - 50ml Sunflower Oil - 3 large onions thinly sliced - 1 large ripe tomato grated or finely chopped.

Method
Combine all the spices and toss with meat. Heat oil in a large saucepan add onions and braise until golden. Add meat and spices and cook covered on medium heat until tender. Add tomato and cook a further 15 minutes adding a pinch of sugar if desired. Serve hot on a bed of savoury rice.

 
HEALTH TIP

ALMOND
----------
Take 5-7 almonds. Pound them to a paste/powder. Take the yolk of one egg. Beat it up. Add to it one tablespoon of honey and continue beating. Now add almond paste/powder. Mix well.

Apply all over the forehead, face and neck. Rub it in gently. When it begins to dry, wash off with lukewarm water. Good for dry skins, especially in winter when the skin tends to lose its natural oils. This acts as a restorative.

A THOUGHT
HUMAN WISDOM
----------------
In deep distress that blunder head runs from door to door, searching and inquiring, "who and where is he that hath stolen my steed?" They say, "What is this thou ridest on, O master?" He says, "True, 'tis a steed; but where is mine?" They say, "Look to thyself, O rider; thy steed is there." [RUMI]
 
THE SMILE
NEVER TALK TO A PARROT
-------------------------
Mrs. Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit working. He couldn't accommodate her with an "after-hours" appointment and since she had to go to work, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dish washer, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check. By the way, I have a large rotweiler inside named Killer; he won't bother you. I also have a parrot, and whatever you do, do not talk to the bird!"

Well, sure enough the dog, Killer, totally ignored the repairman, but the whole time he was there, the parrot cursed, yelled, screamed, and about drove him nuts.

As he was ready to leave, he couldn't resist saying, "You stupid bird, why don't you shut up!"

To which the bird replied, "Killer, get him!!!"
