How many times you have wished you could see images of the ingredients of a particular recipe you liked.

For example, whenever I see a colorful mocktail in a long glass and garnished with attractive fruits and stylish stirrer, I wish I am shown the images of the ingredients or video of the making of the drink.

Visual Recipes solves this problem by bringing you step by step recipes with photos. You can select any recipe of your choice and click on ‘Video slideshow’ to view each step of the making of the dish with details in text.

I just enjoyed “Thai style Coconut Milk Soup“.

It seems I have lost the spice to update this blog as I would have expected me to when I bought this domain. Due to my eye sight problem, I am not able to spend more time in front of the computer.

Also, the site offers valuable information on the different kinds of spices and their combination for your meal. The site acts as an excellent encyclopedia of spices of the world.

Your Foofapedia. Check calory count quickly on any food.

I was bemused by the phrase “Foodapedia”-a typical Internet word. So, I visited http://myfoodapedia.gov.

What did I search for? You guessed it right! I typed in “Curd rice”. Ha, ha,ha. But it was no suprise that I didn’t find it but the website suggested “Spanish Rice”-truly no match for curd rice.

Well, the Spanish rice is said to contain 145 calories.

You can search for various foods that you like and dislike to know the calorie content instantly.

Pregnant women’s greatest pleasure is viewing their bulging stomach daily if not hourly. It gives them ultimate pleasure in watching their baby grow inside. They enjoy the movements inside and love sharing their delight.

I came across a website, a great community of pregnant women to share and even spend time with their growing baby like seeing its movements. Womb with a View uses the 3D/4D ultrasound technology.

Where to buy products that appeared in movies?

malathy — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:22:21 +0000

Yes, I too always wonder where these cinema people buy costumes for the actors. I too do a lot of shopping but eyes my don’t spot such dreamy colored sarees.

For example, there was such a green saree worn by actress Banupriya in a movie titled ‘Chathriyan’. I have never seen a more beautiful green.

Then there was a phone that I saw in a movie. It got into my mind ever since but I don’t know where it is available!

ThingsYouSawInAMovie is a website that lists lots of movies and publishes a list of products that were featured in the films and instructions on how you can find them.

It is easy to identify people who just can’t decide on a most trivial matter like where to go out for dinner or which suit is the best to wear for a wedding anniversary of a relative.

If you are one of them and if you collect opinions from friends to help you make a decision, you should probably try invisible friends online who will help you to decide on a matter of urgency to you.

How to find people who look like you?

malathy — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:18:02 +0000

Probably, human beings are the only species who still believe that people who look alike exist. There is an old cliche that goes on to say that there are seven people in the world who look like you. What a stupid notion.

However, it may be interesting to find people who look like us-eh? Is it possible to find them?

Yes dear. Go toFacialProfiler – a web application that can find people who look like you and show the closest match for your face among millions of other Facebook members. Yes, it is a Facebook application only.
