Iranian cuisine is known for its slow-simmered, flavorful and savory stews that are served with a platter of long grain aromatic saffron rice. One of the most famous stews from Iran is the herb-filled ghormeh sabzi. Another favorite is the sweet and sour walnut and pomegranate khoresh fesenjoon. However, this  خورش چغاله بادام - chaghaleh badoom khoresh is one of the lesser known khoresh

Today is a public holiday and I'm currently sitting at the office, working on projects due tomorrow. In what could only have been a self-loathing, self-pitying fury, I ate an entire large packet of chips. They're called Chipi Multigrain Chips (basically a rip-off of Pringles) and they are - what Weight Watchers would call - my frankenstein food.  Frankenstein foods are those terrible snacky-type foods that are impossible to stop eating at just one. We all have a particular weakness... and mine happens to be bizarre discount chips from Dischem. Needless to say... I feel quite ill now.

Usually when I get an avocado in my Boston Organics delivery, I just hope that I'll be able to figure out how to use it before it gets overripe.  But this time I knew exactly what to do with it; I was going to attempt an avocado rose!  I had first discovered these a few weeks ago thanks to a post on Food52 on the trend taking over Instagram. To make one, slice an avocado in half.  You want a ripe avocado, but not one that is so soft it'll be hard to manipulate without smushing. Remove the pit, then carefully peel away the skin.  See that little bit of flesh left on the skin below?  It ended up being the only blemish on my rose.  =( Place on half cut side down on a cutting board and slice the avocado thinly.  It helps to use a paring knife since it has less surface area to stick to the avocado than a chef's knife (which I found out the hard way). Start shifting the slices diagonally. Try to make as long of a chain as you can make without breaking it. ...

Ratings on Companies Many people wonder how to go about choosing a life insurance company. In truth, there are several factors that can determine one's decisions to pick one company over another. More often than not, the deciding factor comes down to the price of the monthly premium. The premium needs to be affordable enough for one to pay it off each month without it making a huge dent in their finances. A good life insurance company does not want to bankrupt their clients with each premium - quite the contrary in fact. Insurance companies want to keep their clients as happy paying customers so that they actually have a business to run. If there is no one paying the premiums, then there is nobody to insure. Thus, life insurance companies will do everything they can to convince a prospective customer that they are the best possible choice. Be Wary of Life Insurance Scams However, keep in mind that companies that bend over backwards and offers great premiums may not actually looking...

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Just like in data recovery, this concept encounters problems along the way thus requiring RAID recovery. RAID actually allows end users to have more file space through the use of multiple disks. It has two varieties: a software and a hardware RAID. Before looking in the different recovery methods, it also pays to set the difference between software and hardware RAID. These two are separated by advantages and disadvantages. Take a look at the following facts. Software versus hardware RAID Software RAID is one that is dependent on the use of the central processing unit (CPU). It has to share the CPU while other applications are running in the computer. This makes its performance slower than hardware RAID. The good thing about it is that it is cheaper because it does not require the use of any other equipment. Hardware RAID on the other hand, is made possible with the use of the controller. This device functions very well that even if ...

In RAID 5, three or more disks are arranged in an array. All the disks share the storage of data. Since RAID consists of disks, it is possible that one or more of these disks can become inaccessible or go corrupt. As a result, the data storage capability is affected. This is where RAID 5 recovery is useful. By repairing the damaged disk(s) the array can be restored and data can be recovered and again be stored. RAID 5 is one of the most popular RAID arrays because of data striping and parity as well as economy. Many companies today use RAID 5 for storing their data. Even if one sector in a single disk becomes corrupt, it affects the entire array. To repair the disk and to recover the data, RAID 5 data recovery is a must. RAID recovery for RAID 5 can be quite a task at times. The data parity is distributed across different RAID 5 drives. It also happens that parity stripes are generated using different RAID 5 cards and algorithms generated by software programs. In RAID 5, the parity blo...

The market is flooded with many raid data recovery service providers. Internet has made it possible to promote services online. Moreover, customers too prefer to search for services online. However, when you look for services online, it is important to choose the right company. Be wary of providers who make tall claims. For instance, if the provider offers a flat fee for all types of raid recovery, then it is questionable. Similarly, if they guarantee 100 percent recovery, then too it is a matter of concern. When you look for a service provider for raid data retrieval, check some of the features like experience, knowledge, pricing, professionalism, expertise, efficiency, technological implementation and customer service. Quick service at the hands of reliable professionals can make a huge difference to your experience. Crucial data should be recovered as early as possible. A delay in the process of retrieval can cost a lot to your company. It can drastically affect business operations....

Homebuyers and homeowners need to decide which home Mortgage loan is right for them.

An Additional Security Fee (Mortgage Indemnity Guarantee policy) is the fee taken to get an insurance policy that will cover your lender so that if you default on payments, he will not suffer any loss. You have to pay the Additional Security Fee and the premium along with your mortgage advance.

Administration Fee The administration fee is the amount charged by your lender to start working on the documentation part of your mortgage application. It includes the home valuation fee as well. The administration fee will not be refunded even if your valuation is not done or if your application has been rejected. Adverse Credit Adverse credit occurs when you have a history of bad credit, bankruptcy, CCJ, or loan arrears.

Tip #1: Always Shop For Home Mortgage Rates Don't blindly accept a Realtor or Builder referral to apply for a Home Mortgage through their preferred lender. Many times they will say, "We work closely with this guy and he gets the job done". Translation: "We play golf together and he buys the beer". Remember, the Realtor won't be paying the bill each month for the next 30 years, you will. Mortgage Loan Officers that work off of a referral network of Realtors and Builders don't have to have competitive Home Mortgage Rates because they have a steady stream of "Drones" (people who are referred to them and don't shop) calling them. Shop around, get the lowest cost Home Mortgage Rate, then if you are inclined, approach the "preferred" Loan Officer you were referred to and ask him to match the quote. If you apply for a Home Mortgage through a preferred lender without shopping, you will pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars in addition...
