Although I can find it only salted for now, I’m happy that I discovered this tasty nut. I barely use salt in any meal, and I hope that I can get them without it somewhere.
“Cashew nuts are significant sources of iron (essential for red blood cell function and enzyme activity), magnesium (promotes energy release and bone growth), phosphorus (builds bones and teeth), zinc (essential to digestion and metabolism) and selenium (has important antioxidant properties, thus protecting the body from cancer).”
“Not only do cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 65% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus 90% of this unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes.”

How I did it: My dog lives in our backyard, and he's not allowed indoors. Therefore, his hygiene level was never very high. Nevertheless, I noticed long dirty dreadlocks in his fur, and he also kind of started to stink whenever he was wet. He wasn't properly groomed in about a year! After realizing this, I decided to something immediately, before the summer went away.1. Cutting. Good old scissors. It took me two hours to remove unnecessary fur and mats… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I completed a course in language school, which was very helpful. It's always better to have someone to answer all your questions, than to try to figure them out by yourself. Then I took a half-year break from studying (which wasn't a smart idea), and then continued to prepare two months before the exam. I didn't have much confidence, and my expectations after the exam weren't very high. But when I finally received results, I was shocked! … Read how I did it…
How I did it: My motive for starting with the lessons was to finally become able to move freely - without always leaning on my parents and depending on bus timetable. So I contacted driving school a little before my eighteenth birthday (legal age for B category in my country). I paid for 40 lessons instead of 20, just in case. I wanted to be sure I'll pass as soon as possible. First lesson was OK, but the second one was terrible. My driving throug… Read how I did it…

Although I enjoy food in student cafeteria, I really miss fish. It is served rarely, I only ate it twice in three months. Luckily, I can buy it prepared and cooked here, just a few streets away.
I’ll try to eat hake fillets more often. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it:
Hake fillet is an excellent source of protein which makes digestion easier and is also high in Omega-3. Based on the fact that Omega-3 is not manufactured by the body, consumption of hake fillet or any other hake fish products is considered to be an essential component.
Scientists have proved that consumption of hake fish at regular interval in a meal decreases the risk of getting heart attack than those who don’t. Hake fish contains also a high amount of vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 which are essential for human body.
