Artery Clog Can Attack Just Anyone - young or old

Yesterday I received a very bad news - one of my hubby's subordinate has just passed away. He was in his 30s - a healthy and health conscious young guy. No one knows what happened to him. He woke up with no heart beat.

None of us can accept this cruel reality. He was such a healthy man in his early 30s, not alcoholic nor smoker - he had stop smoking for quite sometimes. Why could this happened to him.

Post-mortem showed that he is died of clogged artery. But what exactly clogged artery is? Is it some kind of heart attack? I have done some research this morning regarding the clogged artery. It seems that the main culprit for clogged artery is LDL, not just ordinary LDL, but oxidized LDL, that stops up arteries and setting the stage for heart attacks.

After knowing the fact, I guess I shall start taking a serious look into our diet especially hubby's. Hubby has been overweight with excess fat. A bit worry about his cholesterol level, will get him to do a thorough medical checkup soon.

My dear dear hubby, can you please listen to me, eat less saturated fat and cholesterol. Cut down on fatty foods. I know you love seafood especially prawns and crabs - but please take them moderately. Think of us before you consume the bext piece of high-cholesterol and fattening stuff. Please don't compromise your health for that temporary satisfaction, it doesn't worth it. Imagine what would the world mean to us without you by the side. I am very scare after getting to know your subordinate's case. We human really do not know what will happen tomorrow, one being healthy can wake up the next day without breathing or heart beat. We can't predict what happen tomorrow, but at least we can try our best to prevent the unfortunate -- take care of our health. This is the very least we can do for our beloved family. Take care of our health and love your body.

Chinese: Moral Behind the Story

1、建築師
一位夫人打電話給建築師,說每當火車經過時,她的睡床就會搖動。
"這簡直是無稽之談１建築師回答說,"我來看看。"
建築師到達後,夫人建議他躺在床上,體會一下火車經過時的感覺。
建築師剛上床躺下,夫人的丈夫就回來了。他見此情形,便厲聲喝問 ："你躺在我妻子的床上幹什麼？"
建築師戰戰兢兢地回答："我說是在等火車,你會相信嗎？"

【哲理】
有些話是真的,卻聽上去很假；有些話是假的,卻令人無庸置疑。

２、引誘
英國紳士與法國女人同乘一個包廂,女人想引誘這個英國人,她脫衣躺下後就抱怨身上發冷。先生把自己的被子給了她,她還是不停地說冷。
"我還能怎麼幫助你呢？"先生沮喪地問道。
"我小時候媽媽總是用自己的身體給我取暖。"
"小姐,這我就愛莫能助了。我總不能跳下火車去找你的媽媽吧？"

【哲理】
善解風情的男人是好男人,不解風情的男人更是好男人。

3、調羹
麥克走進餐館 ,點了一份湯,服務員馬上給他端了上來。
服務員剛走開,麥克就嚷嚷起來："對不起,這湯我沒法喝。"
服務員重新給他上了一個湯,他還是說："對不起,這湯我沒法喝。"
服務員只好叫來經理。
經理畢恭畢敬地朝麥克點點頭,說："先生,這道菜是本店最拿手的,深受顧客歡迎,難道您……"
"我是說,調羹在哪里呢？"

【哲理】
有錯就改,當然是件好事。但我們常常卻改掉正確的,留下錯誤的,結果是錯上加錯。

4 、穿錯
飯廳內,一個異常謙恭的人膽怯地碰了碰另一個顧客,那人正在穿一件大衣。
"對不起,請問您是不是皮埃爾先生？"
"不,我不是。"那人回答。
"啊,"他舒了一口氣,"那我沒弄錯,我就是他,您穿了他的大衣。"

【哲理】
要做到理直氣壯,並不是件容易的事情。理直的人,往往低聲下氣；而理歪的人,卻是氣壯如牛。

5、回電
一個蘇格蘭人去倫敦,想順便探望一位老朋友,但卻忘了他的住址 ,於是給家父發了一份電報："您知道托馬的住址嗎？速告１
當天,他就收到一份加急回電："知道。"

【哲理】
當我們終於找到最正確的答案時,卻發現它是最無用的。

6、傷心故事
有三個人到紐約度假。他們在一座高層賓館的第45層訂了一個套房。
一天晚上,大樓電梯出現故障,服務員安排他們在大廳過夜。
他們商量後,決定徒步走回房間,並約定輪流說笑話、唱歌和講故事,以減輕登樓的勞累。
笑話講了,歌也唱了,好不容易爬到第34層,大家都感覺精疲力竭。
"好吧,彼德,你來講個幽默故事吧。"
彼德說："故事不長,卻令人傷心至極：我把房間的鑰匙忘在大廳了。"

【哲理】
我們痛苦,所以幽默；我們幽默,所以快樂。

7、賣書
一個很有名的作家要來書店參觀。書店老闆受寵若驚,連忙把所有的書撤下,全部換上作家的書。作家來到書店後,心裏非常高興,問道："貴店只售本人的書嗎？"
"當然不是。"書店老闆回答,"別的書銷路很好,都賣完了。"

【哲理】
"拍馬屁"是個奇怪的詞：你像是在奉承他,又像是在侮辱他。

8、幫忙
在郵局大廳內,一位老太太走到一個中年人跟前,客氣地說："先生,請幫我在明信片上寫上地址好嗎？"
"當然可以。"中年人按老人的要求做了。
老太太又說："再幫我寫上一小段話,好嗎？謝謝！"
"好吧。"中年人照老太太的話寫好後,微笑著問道："還有什麼要幫忙的嗎？"
"嗯,還有一件小事。"老太太看著明信片說,"幫我在下面再加一句：字跡潦草,敬請原諒。"

【哲理】
你若不肯幫忙,人家會恨你一個星期；如果幫得不夠完美,還不如……

My Bolognese Spaghetti with Tuna

I was thinking about cooking bolognese spaghetti yesterday but forgot to buy the minced beef. So, I searched around my kitchen to get some meaty for my spaghetti and there I got a can of tuna in water.

So, I use my creativity to create my own style of bolognese spaghetti with tuna.

Here's the ingredients that I used:

8 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 can of 6 oz. tomato paste
3 tbs of Prego Original Pasta sauce
Half can of sliced button mushroom
1 can of tuna in water / brine
Angel hair pasta (or any other long pasta of your choice)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Black pepper

Steps:
1. Drain the tuna and keep the water for later use. Smash the tuna and mix it with 4 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Set aside.
2. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions - approximately 3.5 minutes for Angel Hair pasta to cook 'al dente'. Thick pasta might take slightly longer dependent on the type of pasta used.
3. When pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
4. Heat the frying pan with 3 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on medium-low heat. Throw in the remaining 4 cloves of choppped garlic. When the garlic turns golden, put in the chopped onion and fry until it soften.
5. Now, add in the sliced button mushrooms and followd by the smashed tuna. Fry for 1 minute before adding the tomato paste and Prego pasta sauce.
6. Turn up the heat to medium and pour in the water from the canned tuna that we keep in the first step. Add in 6 oz. of plain water and stir well.
7. Heat through and mix for approximately 2 minutes. Add in salt to taste.
8. Now serve your pasta with this rich tuna tomato sauce, top with some black pepper (freshly ground black pepper is recommended though).
9. You can also add some Parmesan cheese and dried mixed herb for an extra kick!

Too bad that I forgot to take the picture of this Angel Hair Pasta with Tuna Bolognese sauce that I cooked last night. But trust me, it was damn good. My hubby gave it a thumb-up!

I still have some remaining of the cooked tuna tomato sauce which I refrigerated. I guess it must be consumed within the next 7 days. So, I will post the photo of this pasta the next time I cook it for my hubby, not going to be long though. :)

Stay tuned okay ?
