Where Do You Find Happiness?
Though the breezy autumn weather today in Beijing is a cause for celebration, there are many of us who are still feeling blue – whether it be due to trouble in the family, negative relations at work or storms in the area of romance. For our pill-popping culture these days, the quick fix for the blues are doctor-prescribed or even over-the-counter anti-depressants, plastic capsules that promise its consumer to be washed over by a sea of happiness.
Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Blueberries are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants, but we can’t tote around a zip-lock bag full of blueberries. That’s just unheard of.- pandaroo's blog

Mini Crustless Quiches For All!
Until recently, my only exposure to quiches was via my frequent trips to Comptoirs de France. I've now fallen in love with the delectable taste of these eggy creations (who knew eggs could taste that good!) My only complaint is that quiches are often too filling for me to finish on my own.
So imagine my glee when I stumbled on a recipe for mini crustless quiches. Granted, I was drawn to this recipe because it saved me from the trouble of making puff pastry. Of course, the size of these cute little quiches appealed to me also.

There's Inulin in Our Ice Cream
In light of yet another series of food scandals involving McDonald nuggets and melamine-tainted milk, China Daily reported over the weekend that inulin, a popular food additive and sweetener, has been found to induce stomach aches for some children if consumed excessively.
Inulin is a carbohydrate fiber that is found naturally in produce such as bananas, wheat, onions and garlic. When inulin is consumed from such unprocessed foods, it is hard to over-eat. However, inulin is often extracted and used as a food additive for processed products including chocolate bars, drinks and other snacks (and we know all too well how easy it is to over-eat chocolate!) If our intake of inulin is too high, we may experience symptoms such as bloating, stomach aches and diarrhea.
