Christmas Tree Safety Tips

Christmas Tree Safety Tips
by: Lesley Dietschy



Christmas time and decorating the Christmas tree is a favorite part of many people’s holiday season. Many family traditions involve going to a tree farm or Christmas tree store to pick out the perfect tree. A real tree can add the beauty of the season to your home and fill it with a pleasant scent of pine.

Unfortunately, real Christmas trees can also pose a fire hazard. According to the National Safety Council, each year more than 400 residential fires involve Christmas trees and tragically nearly 40 deaths and 100 injuries result from those fires. To help protect your family this holiday season, below is a list of important Christmas tree safety tips.

Christmas Trees:

• Select a fresh tree by looking for one that is green.

• The needles of pine and spruce trees should bend, not break, and be hard to pull off the branches.

• For the fir tree species, the needles should snap when bent, much like a fresh carrot.

• Also, look for sticky sap on the tree’s trunk.

• Cut off approximately two inches of the tree’s trunk and place the tree in a sturdy, water-holding stand.

• Keep the tree stand filled with water at all times so that the tree does not dry out too quickly.

• Make sure the tree is at least three feet (one meter) away from any heat source, such as fireplaces and radiators.

• Try to position the tree near an outlet so that cords are not running long distances.

• Do not place the tree where it blocks doorways or foot traffic.

• If you decide to use an artificial tree, buy one that is tested and labeled as fire resistant.

• Be sure the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label is on an artificial tree with built-in electrical systems.

Tree Lights:

• Only use indoor lights with the UL label.

• Check lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections.

• Replace any damaged light sets.

• Do not use more than three light sets on any one extension cord. Also be sure to place the extension cord next to a wall to avoid a tripping hazard.

• Do not run extension cords under rugs.

• Always turn off lights and decorations on your Christmas tree when you leave the house or go to bed.

• Never use electric lights on a metal tree.

Tree Ornaments:

• Avoid placing breakable or small tree ornaments with detachable parts on the tree’s lower branches where small children and pets can reach them.

• Never place lighted candles on a tree or near any flammable materials or decorations.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on all Christmas tree ornaments.

• Use the proper step stool or ladder to reach the top of the tree while decorating.

Disposing of Tree:

• It is time to dispose of the tree when it begins dropping needles. Dried-out trees are highly flammable and should not be left in a house, garage, or placed against the house.

To keep your family and home safe this year, be sure to check your smoke alarms, replace batteries as needed, and know what your fire escape plan is. For more tips, information, or how to create a fire escape plan, visit the National Fire Protection Association at www.nfpa.org.

Happy Holidays!

Cook Italian with Jamie Oliver

A year ago I was in a small town of Rimnicu Valcea in Romania. Was there because my husband was working for a project where they built homes for children from the orphanages. While my husband went to work and my son to school I stayed home where I volunteered with Nabuur.com for villages in developing countries and I never for any reason missed a cooking show with Jamie Oliver



Some of Jamie Oliver's recipes I took salads, Jamie Oliver's chicken cooked in milk with sage and lemon.
This is not all I have from over a year ago Jamie Oliver TV show I used to watch there was the Dolce he used Panettone and baked in the oven I still have that picture in my head.
Now, I moved continents Im in Bangkok and do not watch Jamie Oliver anymore.

Holiday frames

Birthday Me: Smile and 1 year older

Cooking is one of things I enjoy doing, I try to try a recipe from a country that I visit or live. I haven't cooked anything yet though today is my birthday. Sooo many years back in a small rural village on the slopes of Mt. Kenya I was born. I grew up in my family land where we knew nothing but agriculture and going to school.

Remember those days in the village, waking up in the morning lighting the fire while my Mom went to milk the cows, we had plenty of milk yes we did drank milk every morning before going to school.

I walked a Kilometer and half to school every day, walked back for lunch then back again for afternoon classes and back after four when classes finished and usually most of the time we had to run to school not walk.





In this village I learn't to work the garden, I never knew a supermarket I only knew the small kiosks in the market where we also had an open air market. Vegetable market was every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Everything sold in this market, fresh from the garden and fruits from the trees.

My family grew and grows all kinds of vegetables we also grew french beans for export. Those were good times. On the other hand we had coffee we all worked whether it came rain or sunshine. My mother sometimes used to roast coffee and grind whenever we wanted to drink coffee all from our gardens.

Today as I celebrate my birthday I remember those moments with a smile and nolstagia.

How I looked forward to school holidays so that I could visit my uncle who lived in another side of Mt.Kenya. The best thing I remember how we made chapati from whole wheat from family harvest. Oh God I miss.

And when a neighbour went to New Zealand and since then I started to dream that one day I would go abroad. I have not yet been to my dream Australia and New Zealand but Im coming.

Now many years after I find myself in the wonderful city called Bangkok, how did I get here? I ask myself and more to that I do not speak my native languange because I have a new language Italian, how did I get here? The world can really be strange and dreams can be realised.

Now at my age today, what is my dream in the next year?
I would write and write, let me stop now as I want to talk to my Mom and tell her how grateful I am for all she did to help me grow up to be what I am today and I can smile because I grew up in the best village ever!

Paris Hilton favourite gelato!

Thai Fruits: Durian

I bet many readers of this blog have heard of this fruit. The durian fruit of strong odour. It's home in South East Asia, it is a fruit I have seen everytime I walk around in the streets been offered but I have never had the courage to taste. The nice thing about this fruit is it often prohibited in certain hotels and also airlines in some place in Thailand.
You can find various Thai recipes where they use durian though myself I have not tried might be a delicacy that you cannot do without




From wikipedia I learn that it is also 'Durian fruit is used to flavour a wide variety of sweet edibles such as traditional Malay candy, ice kachang, dodol, rose biscuits, and, with a touch of modern innovation, ice cream, milkshakes, mooncakes, Yule logs and cappuccino.'

Thai Fruits: Salacca

Last week I went to a Loy Kratong event here and there was a collection of Thai fruits. Some of the fruit I love and eat them a lot and also use them to prepare my desserts like the mango but the fruit pictured below I have only seen it in supermarkets, or street vending places never tasted it myself.
Below also you see the description from Wikipedia about this fruit.



From Wikipedia:

Salacca is a genus of 20 species of palms native to tropical southeastern Asia. They are very short-stemmed palms, with leaves up to 6-8 m long. The leaves have a spiny petiole; in most species they are pinnate with numerous leaflets, but some species, notably S. magnifica, have undivided leaves.

The fruit grow in clusters at the base of the plants, and are edible in many species, with a reddish-brown scaly skin covering a white pulp and one to two large inedible seeds. The Salak (S. zalacca) is the species most widely grown for the fruit, which has a slight acidic taste.

The skin of the Salacca fruit has a unique texture not unlike that of a snake's skin, rough to the touch in one direction but smooth in the other.

I haven't yet tried this fruit you can leave us a comment if you have

Pumpkin: Not only halloween

I had pumpkin in the fridge and I was not in the mood of making ravioli at all so I needed something else, gave a try pumpkin cream.




What i did was boil the pumpkin and strain it using a special italian strain for vegetables. I should take a picture and post it here because it is of much help, its a manual thing but helped me a lot when my son was weaned would boil a whole pot of mixture of vegetables and strain it to form very soft cream, you have 3 types of measures that you can use. will post the picture here anyway.
Then added some cheese, I imagine but have not tried it could really be smooth if you added some cream, can always go for soya cream with less fats. Give it a try I will definitely be cooking again this week.
My 5 year old son loved it.

Web hosting for blogging Moms

I recently was in search of a good web hosting for my website but I can assure you took me long time to make my decisions. I wish I had found out about web hosting before making my decision. The most amazing thing about web hosting is that they rate web hosting companies based on what every home Mom looking for a web hosting would look for that is customer satisfaction, affordability, reliability, uptime and techical support.

What I have liked about them is that they also give you the packages and if you want to save like me you obviously will be looking for budget quality hosting. I think this web hosting will be beneficial to all Moms out there who read this blog and have something to share and for a long time have been looking for budget but best web hosts for their web hosting needs.

Save yourself all the time searching every web hosting companies, here everything is done for you. All readers of my blogs who love to cook this web hosting page is worth sharing with your friends who are in need of web hosting and need to save themselves the headache of months of search.
