You too can TrySharing stuff that I know…

Daddy had great acidity problem. He has tried umpteen number of remedies for it. Now he is not sure which is the one that really worked for him. But he badly wanted to share these remedies with others who may have the same problem…

He asked me if I could blog about it. I asked him to put it in his own words so that it is authentic…he has given me a beautiful write up….I dont want to change it even a bit… so here is Daddy’s journey with acidity…hope a lot of people get benefited out of this post….

We are getting our house repainted.This is the fourth time I am seeing a repaint happen and everytime I learn something new. …most of the time we were getting cheated one way or the other.
The labour whom we appoined always took us for a ride….

I thought  I will put down a post with the knowledge that I have gained so that someone else who reads this would have a better head start….
Caution: This is for a repaint only. I am not aware of specifics of fresh painting

We just finished one of our important festivals yesterday…It was the Kaaradayam nombu.

This is a festival celebrated by Tamil Brahmins. This is a day for the ladies to pray that their husbands (or husbands to be) are always with them and that their relationship never dies.

It is an equivalent to karvachauth celebrated in north India….of course…since this festival concerns a very small community….it is not that famous and widely celebrated.

I have always made palak paneer but found that the dark green colour is somehow lost during the cooking.

I found out from someone that adding a pinch of sugar to the palak while cooking would keep it green. I have not tried it…but you can try and let me know if it works.

I am stuck with a current situation where I need to remove a lot of grease from my kitchen shelf doors…they have become horribly sticky

Someone told me that I could sprinkle some vinegar and then wipe it off with a cloth and this would remove the grease. Got to try it.

My doors are all wooden…and So I am not sure which is the right remedy to use…not sure what suits wood..

However …got to try it and check.

Also heard that kerosene can be used the same way by sprinkling and wiping away….

There are lots of times when women want to postpone their periods. Using pills for this is possible. But I have heard of lots of side effects of these.

One way to do this using home remedies is eating roasted gram dal (pottu kadalai in tamil, chutney bele in kannada).

Start eating this (a big handful) early morning everyday from a few days before the actual expected date. Also try and snack on it now and then during the day.

This cools the body and hence results in delay of periods.

I have tried it and it works. You too can try it….
