Prune And Banana Yogurt Cake

Muggy morning again... Today we broke a record of 24-day sweltering nights since 1876!!!

This is my favorite high-fiber cake using prune and banana ;) Prune prevents an iron deficiency. Yogurt is good for your intestines.

Happy cake for women ;)

DOURTHE b Bordeaux Rouge 2006

I bought this wine at 10 bucks! It was produced by Mercian Corporation: Japanese wine and spirits producer and marketer, as well as pharmaceutical company. Just what I'd expected from Mercian, the wine was mellow and had a fruity aroma.

b Bordeaux means the wine is always well balanced as it is retained to seek the best flavor. The word "b" represents royal road of Bordeau.

However, since its bottle has a screw cap instead of a cork, I hesitated to get it but it was bingo!!! Thanks to my darling, he just asked me to try out :D

I can't believe it's already September. Actually, we changed seats at work X( Kind of uncomfortable till I get used to...

Hope to see you again tomorrow!!!

WHYS

What are the "WHYS" in your life right now?

I found this question on Kym's post.
Yeah... I have many whys right now...

Why don't I have time to take a break?
Why do I gain weight easily?
Why my abs are weak (Why my abs can't be developed)?
Why do I have slow reflexes?
Why my darling does not prefer me to become a full-time homemaker?
Why can't I trust people sometimes?
Why what I think is right ends up no good...
Why don't I have a luck to succeed?
Why am I dissatisfied?
Why am I me? (Why can't I be anyone but ME?)

I hope I can get rid of my stresses by writing (shouting) out those!

Wowwwww... To answer my question for homemaker, this article is kind of convincing.
Maid vs. Homemaker

Have a good day :D
