A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When our live-in helper left last year, I flipped when I opened the door of our washing machine. Having had a live-in helper for over 10 years, I hardly ever touched the washing machine. The first thing that greeted me when I opened the washing machine door was mold. The rubber tube sealing the opening…

I have always soaked my beans before cooking them. Sometimes when I have a sudden craving to have red beans tong sui, I will pour the beans right away into the pot (after rinsing the beans) and cook the tong sui without soaking the beans. I have always thought that the main purpose why we…
