How to save money during parties?


There is always a hype when you go for a treat, no matter how small it may be. The person who gives one, thinks of saving his pocket but the other thinks of eating a sumptuous meal. Burning a hole in the pocket is a sure, for the one who gives the treat. But if I give you an idea that could save your pocket and help you to cut their meals and their wicked idea of robbing you of your money, you will surely love to know it!
The idea is plain and simple. You can do this trick with just a soft drink.


When you are caught with a person who eats more!!!!
IDEA:

Before ordering the menu, just order a soft drink for all. And yes, believe me, this will help you a lot, to save few thousands if you are giving a party to large number of them. You would be puzzled and ask me a question, does this really work out?? You all have this question to ask, so let me explain the overall idea behind this.

Since all soft drinks are usually aerated and CO2 is compressed inside to give you a fizz, when you drink a soft drink before a meal it fills your stomach with gas. The compressed gas is released due to the decrease in pressure and thus decreases the solubility of the dissolved gas. Since the gases occupy more space than in their dissolved form, your stomach swells up. Apparently he feels that his stomach is full and he wouldn't be able to eat more. This makes them less hungry, as there is no space for the food to enter. This is just for few hours and again they will feel hungry. But no problem for the one who gives the treat, his treat will be over by then. Since there is no solid food to digest, the process of digestion doesn't take too much time. The one who thought of looting him will have to be hungry again.

The cheapest idea to save a person from getting into more debts for a mere treat and parties.

But.............

THE REVENGE IS SWEET THOUGH.

Wait for the next article for those who were betrayed by this idea by one of your  friends!!!

The Search Into Substance X

Some of them have the greatest opportunity of eating the food prepared by our grandmothers. The taste is always better even though they don't add the so called modern ingredients like flavouring agents, ajinomotto salts etc.  This is the search towards the substance "X" that makes  the food tastier and better.
From my observation the method they use is not that much different from the current one.  But something has to be there. Then suddenly something struck my mind.
What was it???
Let me take some day to day culinary examples to throw some light on the substance "X".

The Search Into Substance X

We generally cook rice in the pressure cooker or nowadays we find electrical rice cooker. But in the traditional method they cooked in the open vessel with boiling water. The favourite dish with Idly i.e. chutney has also something or the other that usually separates them even though the substance we use are same and the only difference being it was grinded in the mixer and the other being in the traditional way of grinding in the ammikal ,the grinding stone, manually. The latter didn't get spoilt soon as compared to the former one. The food items cooked in the traditional way, mid modern era and the latest being the modern one showed some significant result. The food prepared in the microwave was the first to get spoilt soon and the last being the traditional one.
What made the difference???
Gathering the knowledge whatever I had it was the heat and pressure that made the difference.
·          While grinding in the mixer, it rotates at very high speeds which produces heat eventually among the substance which changes the taste of the food item. The so produced initial heat is also responsible for the quick spoiling of the food.
·         In microwave oven, the food item is subjected to sudden change in temperature. So the gradual change in the state is overcome by the sudden changes occurring in the food items kept in the oven. So the taste differs and the nutrients in it is also destroyed at high temperature.
·         The temperature inside a pressure cooker can reach temperatures more than the boiling point of water. At this temperature the vegetables get easily get cooked but what happens to the nutrients??? It is always lost.
Conclusion:
The taste in the traditional method is due to the nutrients preserved in them. No doubt that the modern methods have made our life easier and simple, but there is always a drawback. The nutrients get destroyed in these methods thus what our body needs is not sufficiently replenished by our modern methods. So the new problems in our body are arising in this modern era due to lack of nutrients.
