Sweet Treat and Mouthful of Fun on a Friday

During the trip to the Singapore Science Centre we came across an exhibition on chocolates and how they were made.

The kids were fascinated to learn that their favourite chocolate came from the Cacao plant and it looked way different from the way they know it to be in it’s fully processed stage.

In this cubical there was more information about the typical uses for chocolate and how it has been presented and packaged.

Mouthwatering chocolate in a box. There was an introduction to how chocolate can alter ones mood and give us various sensations.

This was one of the exhibits which the kids enjoyed the most. A interactive mouth where they could have fun while learning more about their taste buds.

Sweet, sour, salty and bitter sensations are given all so much more meaning when one can step around on the colour dots within the tongue. It’s a great innovative way to learn about the taste buds and have fun at the same time.
Sweet Treat

Now how about some puff cake to utilize the sweet sensations of my taste buds?

Writer’s Workshop: Keeping A Backup Copy

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts mama kat's writers workshop

Doggie boy and the Computer

Blogging has been one of my passions since I started my first blog online back in 2004 when Monkey Boy was born. It has been almost 9 years since I have been actively blogging. A lot has changed since I started off as a blogging newbie.

Back then I was blogging on the blogger platform before switching over to WordPress.com and now on this self hosted WordPress blog.

I have learned a lot since I made my 1st step into the world of blogging. I know now the importance of having a back up for the blog and also backups for the template and other in both my hard drive and also a copy stored in Dropbox. It would certainly save me the trouble of redoing everything from scratch when I had to move my blog from one server to another when I had to change hosting.

Nowadays everything is online and not in hard copy. It pays to be prudent and have a few back up copies in different places so in the case that the blog is attacked by virus or gets hacked. I triple save everything now. – Hard disk, dropbox and via e-mail. I also do a photo book yearly so that we have a hard copy to look back on when the kids grow up
