How To Make LAGMAN

     My name is Ghadeer Bukhari. I’m from Saudi Arabia, but originally I came from somewhere else, because my grandfather came from Turkistan, specifically Uzbekistan, which is a country near Turkey. The Bukharese, my ancestors, migrated from their country, and most who lived in Turkistan left because of the war. Therefore, my grandfather and grandmother came to Saudi Arabia and lived there until they passed away.

     Bukharese people in Saudi Arabia have a special type of food. They are known for their unique ways of cooking. One of their main dishes is called Lagman.

     Lagman basically is noodles with a meat and vegetable soup. It looks familiar, but it’s not. To cook Lagman we have to spend at least four hours, why? Because we make the noodle ourselves, turning the flour to thin noodle with only our hands. Lagman has several main steps that I would like to describe for you.

     First, before cooking you have to prepare the ingredients. You need to cut the meat and any vegetables you like in small pieces. Basically we use potato, green beans, cabbage, celery, and bell pepper. Cut all of them in small cubes. Also, we need tomato sauce, flour, salt and pepper.

  

  

     In the beginning, to make the soup; cook the meat with a small amount of Ground onion, salt, and pepper until it well done. Then put the vegetables all together without stirring until they are almost completely cooked in the tomato sauce, adding water if needed. Then, stir everything together. You should be done with the soup for now.

After, make the noodle using only flour and water. Add a small amount of water gradually to the flour until you finally end up with almost solid dough. For the next step, stretch the dough progressively using vegetable oil or margarine to help. Wait for 15-20 minutes between each stretching. After the noodle is ready; boil the noodle for 3 minutes. Then, put it in a bowl with the soup was made earlier. Then serve the Lagman before it gets cold.

     If you don’t know how to eat with chopsticks, start learning now to become one of the Bukharese people who like to use chopsticks to eat Lagman with. 

     Finally, one alternative to shorten the time it takes to make Lagman is to use any kind of ready-made noodle you like, and it will still be delicious, but not as good as the traditional Lagman the Bukharese make. When Lagman is cooked at any house, you should know that there is a special occasion, and there are many people helping each other and spending wonderful time while they are making Lagman. When you try it, you will never be regretted. 

Thank You

How to be Happy

Everyone in this life has different characteristics and personalities. Therefore, we have different needs and desires. We share many of them, but everyone certainly will work hard to accomplish their own goals and then consider it as successful. Regardless what kind of successful that is, if it was not accompanied  or resulted  in happiness, it would be regarded as a fail or wasting of time. So, feeling or being happy is very important in my opinion, and it is essential in our life. Happiness is the combination of satisfaction and positive feelings (PBS). Many researchers suggest that happiness is a practice, thoughts, behavior and lifestyle more than a desire that can be achieved by just a saying.  In this essay I will give some advice that will make you happy or at least happier that you are.

First of all, everyone must have a purpose in this life. It will make your life meaningful. We will always try to do the things that might help you to go toward your goal. Also, it will prevent you from falling down and will help you not make any bad decisions that would take you far from your goal. For instance, if someone has the goal to be the president of any country, he will never use drugs that will destroy his life. Rather he will than do good things like sports that increase his effectiveness and make him more active.

Secondly, it is very important to invest and be involved in relationships. We have different levels of sharing our life with other people, but it is very important to exchange our feeling and feel loved by other. Friends and family can give us good advise and support us emotionally and morally. Also, we need to express our gratitude to the people who we love or respect. That will encourage the bond between us and extend the relationship to last longer.

Thirdly, cultivate optimism. We should teach ourselves how to be optimistic. Everything has positives and negatives. Optimism is concentrating on the positive things and thinking about them. Sometime it helps if you pretend that everything is going well, even if it is not. Being optimistic has great power over achieving goals and therefore makes you satisfied and happy. Scientists suggest that whatever we strongly concentrate on will happen and become true. Maybe there are no obvious explanations for that, but it is certainly an effective strategy.

In conclusion, we all want to be successful and accomplish our dreams. We all want have a meaning and motivation in order to do that. Happiness is the thing that makes us proceed in our life toward our desires.  Happiness can be attained in many different ways. It might vary from one person to another. But definitely it is a thing that needs practice, commitment, and discipline.

How to protect your skin from acne？

Adolescence no doubt is the most beautiful part of life, however some girls suffer from annoying acne during this period. Many girls want to make their skin flawless and attractive. It is true that protecting skins well may help people look young or and feel energetic. Here, I want to share with you some tips I have used to protect my skin. I hope you will find a suitable way for yourself!

The Inside Part

Tip 1: Drink water

Remember to drink 2000 milliliter of water everyday.(About eight glasses of water) I understand that you always forget to drink water while working, so you need to think of a symbol to remind yourself to drink water. For me, once I finish drinking a glass of water, I will put the glass upside down, in that way, when I glance at the glass, I will go to get another glass of water. So, try to think of a suitable symbol for yourself. If you do not like water, you can try something new, like, putting some honey or lemons in your water. In that way you will not be tired of drinking water. Anyway enjoy drinking water!

Tip 2:  Eat fruit and vegetables

You need to eat at least one fruit per day. Of course you can choose your favorite fruit, as everyone knows fruit are rich in vitamins. Here I recommend oranges. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which can improve Antioxidant effects. Accordingly, vitamin C can inhibit the formation of pigmentation spots to promote its subsided.

Eat more vegetables than before. Some people may complain that vegetables are not delicious. If so, I will give you some good ideas to make vegetables more delicious. You have to learn to use flavorings. For instance, shrimp, seaweed, mushroom and mustard. (You can buy them in any of the markets in Eugene. If you just want to try my ideas, you can go to Safeway or Walmart and you can get a small amount of that. If you think my suggestion is suitabe for you, then you can go to Costco to get a bunch of that. Anyway, enjoy your vegetables.) If you put into these flavorings when cooking vegetables, you will find that vegetables can be very delicious.

The Outside Part

Tip 1: Wash your face after using computers

Computers are becoming more and more important to our lives. People use them to work, to watch movies, to listen to music, and even children use computers to do their assignments. It is true that we spend a lot of time on computers everyday. As a lot of people don’t know computer radiation is really bad for our skins, so after using computers, you should wash your face with water. In that way your face may feel relaxed and comfortable.

Tip 2: Use a face protection cream frequently

After washing your face, you need to use the face protection cream to protect your skin from being dry and contacting with dust in the air. Dry skin also makes people feel uncomfortable. In the worse case, it may cause dry and peeling skin. In order to prevent skin from being dry, you must remember to use cream every time you finish washing your face. Here is the most important thing you need to pay attention to: choosing the most suitable cream for yourself. I recommend Vaseline because it is easy to find in any markets.
