Happy 34th birthday to Red House Seafood Restaurant! One may wonder why the restaurant is named after the red rather than yellow or orange . Well, red plays an important indication to the colonial past of Singapore back in 1976. Red House was then located in a striking red colonial bungalow formerly located at Upper East Coast Road. A decade

T hese recipes all come from a battered notebook where I copied recipes when I was a kid. It is well used and covered with stains... The pages are starting to fall apart so I think it is a good idea to save those online. The carrot cake has been a classic recipe in Switzerland very far back, they actually claim it was invented there. Who knows? The recipe differs from carrot cakes found in the UK and US - it has more carrot and is a very moist cake. Mostly it means a higher carrot/sugar ration, a lot of eggs and almonds (or hazelnuts) and almost no flour. It could probably be done gluten free replacing the wheat flour with an alternative. The cake is better after a few hours' or overnight rest. It also freezes very well. And, as it is quite solid, it also "piles" quite well on top of each other. I had made this for my wedding cake in the US and had almost more requests for the recipe than congratulations at the reception...

Do you miss summer? Perhaps the flavors of this Fruited Chicken Salad will bring you back to the warm sunshine and longer days.

We at The Daily Kool are huge soda drinkers. Oh yeah, we love them all...from Coca Cola to Orange Crush to Canada Dry Ginger Ale, each one of us has our own soft drink obsession. Are we the picture of good, healthy habits, or what? We're actually pretty good about drinking mostly water, especially since we've found Fiji, but sometimes, we just have have a can of soda with a nice meal. There's just something about the fizzy tickling sensation going down the back of the throat, coupled with just the right amount of sweetness...ah, instant satisfaction.

Well, judging by the weather, summer is definitely just around the corner here at The Daily Kool, and boy, are we in big trouble. Bathing suit season is almost here, and we have totally been neglecting our healthier eating habits these past few months...yikes! Time to get back on track and start watching what we eat. Thank goodness we have The Biggest Loser finale coming next Tuesday for inspiration. Those contestants are amazing...an absolute inspiration to everyday people like us who want to improve our health and increase longevity. And, while The Biggest Loser contestants have had many tools at their disposal to help them shed those extra pounds, one of the most important has undoubtedly been an old standard...a kitchen scale.

Guess what The Daily Kool found out the other day? July is National Ice Cream Month! Apparently, President Ronald Reagan decided to help out the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) back in 1984 by recognizing this cool and creamy treat. How we possibly could not have known about this is beyond us...but, we would be remiss if we didn't honor President Reagan's memory by throwing ourselves wholeheartedly into the spirit of this very important holiday, right? Since the third Sunday of July is officially National Ice Cream Day, The Daily Kool will be featuring some "kool" ideas and recipes over the next week in celebration of this event. Oh yeah...we're definitely going to take advantage of this legitimate excuse to indulge in one of our sweetest obsessions!

When we were kids, our older brother hated taking aspirin. Okay, perhaps we're really showing our age here, but these were the days before children's Tylenol liquid suspension and when Dimetapp cough syrup (we remember it as the yummy grape medicine) was by prescription only. Our poor mother could only get our brother to take a pill by crushing it in applesauce and spoon-feeding him. Considering the torture he put us through growing up, it was a great pleasure to have a reason to call big brother a "baby" at times...na nanny boo boo! Our poor pets don't have it as easy as our brother did when it comes to taking medication. Whenever our dog Pepper has to take a pill, we literally pry his mouth open, shove it to the back of his throat, clamp his jaw shut and rub until he swallows. Don't get us wrong, Pepper's pretty good about taking them (certainly better than our brother was), but why should we have to struggle at all? Isn't there a way to let him think his medication is more reward than punishment?

Yesterday, we returned from our gluttonous trip to our local Carvel ice cream shop on a euphoric sugar high. Oh yeah...The Daily Kool family has officially kicked off our celebration of National Ice Cream Month! Needless to say, we were in a fabulous mood when we walked through our front door. Of course, so was our lovable dog, Pepper...we may have mentioned him a few hundred times or so in our previous blog posts. Well, Pepper (as usual) was beside himself with joy when we came home, wagging his tail a mile a minute to show how excited he was to see us. We're telling you, there's not much that beats the feeling of unconditional love from a furry friend. Wait a minute...did we say unconditional? Because when Pepper got closer to lick our faces (hey, he's a French poodle, after all), he literally took a giant sniff of our ice cream breath and reeled back from each of us in indignant shock. Okay, we realize we're attributing human characteristics to our dog (doesn't everybody?). But seriously, you should have seen the accusatory look on his face before he pointedly turned his doggie butt on us and walked away to pout on his bed. Yep, Pepper's big brown eyes can really bring on the guilt. No doubt about it, our dog wanted to be a part of July's National Ice Cream Month holiday.

This makes it difficult to conceal the gas pipeline. The designs options depending on the space available can be as follows: 1.) Island 2.) L Shaped 3.) U Shaped 4.) Parallel Counters ACCESSORIES: The steel pullouts, trays and racks are sold by weight, and it will be much cheaper if you buy them from the suppliers in wholesale markets directly.

Custom kitchen design is not just sizes of cupboards and drawers it is a process of optimizing location of different spaces and fitting these spaces with appropriate cabinetry. Each of the items is placed in its place in the most ergonomically correct level for the optimal use. There is a large number of options for filling in spaces from basic to complicated designs, from straight forward cupboards to clever space saving technology and usability. 1. Kitchen Work Triangle - The Optimum Comfort Efficiency If you were to draw a straight line from the centre of the sink, to the centre of the cook-top, to the centre of the refrigerator and finally back to the sink you would have created the kitchen work triangle. The triangle formed by this line provides your optimum comfort efficiency. To go even further seeking the ultimate efficiency you must ensure that entries to the kitchen, access to appliances or cabinet doors do not block each other when opened. If you have opted for an island in your kitchen appliance doors shouldn't hit any other appliance or cabinet door. Today's kitchen trends in remodelling view the kitchen area to be adjacent to the dining area allowing those doing the cooking to keep contact with family and friends creating an integrated social area within the home. 2. Confined Kitchen Spaces One of the great challenges in small kitchens is finding enough storage space. Limiting your cabinets, choosing a walk-in pantry and removing rarely used items are effective methods to create more space for appliances required in your kitchen Varying counter top highlights produces visual variety and assists to increase productivity if there is more than one cook in the kitchen. You can also vary the cabinet door styles making your kitchen space more visually interesting. There is no rule that says your kitchen has to be the same throughout. For example use one style of door for the island and another for your wall cabinets. Choose a differe
