Roasted Turkey with Spicy Coconut Milk and Lemon Grass Sauce

If you have been looking around for a fresh turkey recipe, here is a special turkey recipe with eastern flavor.  Note that the ingredients listed here is for one kilogram of turkey, so if you want to use more than a kilogram of turkey, be sure to multiply the ingredients proportional to the actual weight. Ingredients: 1 kg of fresh turkey ð€“ cut into medium pieces (serves 4). Ingredients for sauce: 5 sticks of lemon grass 80 gm of dried chili 8 pieces of shallots 2 pieces of onions 3 cloves of garlic 1 inch of ginger 1 inch of galangal 300 ml of fresh coconut milk 1 teaspoonful of tamarind Oil to stir fry Salt and sugar to taste Preparation: 1. Clean the turkey then put it aside. 2. Remove the skin and clean the ingredients for sauce.  Blend together dried chilies, shallots, onion and garlic so that you get a fine paste.  If you are not used to spicy food, reduce the amount of chilies so that you will have a milder taste.  Pound ginger, galangal and lemon grass separately a few times, just enough to let their flavor blend with the sauce when they are cooked.  Moreover, you can easily remove these rather coarse ingredients when the sauce is served. 3. Heat the oil in a pot or deep pan (big enough to let the turkey in later) and stir fry the paste. Use medium heat and stir the paste carefully until you get a nice aroma.  Add in coconut milk, ginger, galangal, lemon grass, tamarind, and a little bit of salt and sugar.  Let it be a little low on salt and sugar as we will simmer this sauce later to make it thicker. And in turkey pieces and simmer under low heat until the turkey is half-cooked. 4. Remove the half-cooked turkey.  Continue to simmer the sauce until it is thicker.  Add salt and sugar to taste (where necessary). 5. Roast the half-cooked turkey. Turn and smother with the sauce every now and then (while roasting) until it is fully cooked and golden brown. 6. Place the turkey on a plate and pour the sauce to serve.

Soft drinks: The effect of soda on our teeth and bones
Very few people drink soda because they believe it is good for them. In majority, people love soda because it is tasteful, quenches thirst and comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. However, there is an increasing concern in the scientific world in regards to the harmful effects of soda on human health. And this is because, in numerous experimental studies, intake of soda was associated with condensed bone mass, reduced calcium levels in the blood, and increased fracture risk. Besides, soda consumption is a key factor in the occurrence and prevalence of dental caries. SO, even if people do not realize the harm they do by consuming soda on a daily basis, still the harm is done.
