Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

Eggless Chocolate Cake

This is a simple chocolate cake, prepared using sweetened condensed milk and Soda (Yep!). No eggs or milk, so it’s a great recipe for people who don’t like dairy products. You can substitute almost all of the butter (up to 3/4th the required quantity) with apple sauce to cut down on the calories. No extra sugar required, since the sweetened condensed milk is sweet enough. You could add extra sugar if you feel like, of course. 

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

4 tbsp cocoa (unsweetened)

3/4 cup aerated soda (Pepsi or Coke)

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup butter (I substituted this with 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce + 1/4 cup butter)

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 

Instructions:

1. Preheat over at 350F. Grease and flour a round 8 or 9” baking pan (I used a 9” baking pan)

2. Sieve the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa

3.  In a separate dish, melt the butter, add sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Add vanilla essence to the mixture

4. Add the all purpose flour mixture and the soda (Pepsi/Coke) alternately to the butter mixture. Stir the mixture really well and then transfer it to the baking pan. 

5. Bake for 30-35 mins in the pre-heated oven.

Optional: You can prepare your favorite icing (chocolate preferably) and slap it on the cake if you wish. To keep the sugar & calories low, I usually skip the icing bit.

Cashew Raisin Cake - Recipe here. Bake at 350F in an 8 or 9 inch baking pan for about 32 minutes. I replaced half of butter with applesauce and used almond milk instead of regular milk. Turned out great! My husband ate 3 slices, even before the cake cooled down.

Things I want to try to do in 2012

The keyword in the title is “try” :-) No compulsions, of course.

1. Lose the remaining 7 pounds. Enough already!

2. Visit India - Haven’t seen my friends and a lot of my extended family since almost 5 years. New nieces and nephews, sisters- in- law and brothers- in- law whom I haven’t met yet. Yeah, I’m a real slacker.

3. Visit a country other than India

4. Travel to Alaska next Summer

5. Adopt a more natural way of living - Conserve, recycle, re-use, and banish the remaining chemicals.

Natural Cure for Dandruff

Squeeze some fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Take a piece of cotton wool, soak it in the lemon juice and then dab it all over your dry scalp, starting with the area that has the highest concentration of dandruff. Tie your hair and let the lemon juice work its magic for 1/2-1 hr. Shampoo and condition as usual. Follow this process about 1-2 times a week. 

Before treating my scalp with lemon juice, I usually apply coconut oil, but this is not required.

Pookie Bear: help! i need natural remedies for hair and skin

lund-rani:

Ok so

when i was younger, my hair used to be so thick, soft, silky, and shiny. now that i’m older; it’s thick, but not soft, silky, or shiny at all. i was wondering if you guys had any remedies to make my hair soft and silky again (even if its not natural). my hair is also really greasy so i have…

For hair, I would recommend that you massage it using warm coconut oil before shampoo. Leave the oil overnight. You can sleep with a towel on your pillow so as to not make it dirty. You might have to rinse twice during shampooing to get rid of all the oil. 

What type of shampoo do you use? If your shampoo is too drying, then your scalp is going to overcompensate by producing more oil. I used to have the same problem. After I started using a milder and chemical free shampoo and conditioner, my hair has become less oily. I have used Burts Bees shampoo/conditioner with very good results. I am going to try Dr. Bronner’s next. Even though it’s difficult, I would advise you AGAINST wetting your hair everyday. You need to allow yourself to self regulate and get adjusted to being washed less. 

Your acne might be getting worse because of your oily scalp :( I dab tea tree oil on my face twice a day (after using a face wash) to control acne. My acne’s almost gone now :) I also use pure Rose Water (available in Indian stores) as a toner to keep my face fresh.

The Year 2011 (yeah, one of those posts!)

I think this is the first time ever that I’m actually doing a year wrap up post. So here goes it!

1. Lost 26 pounds by exercising and eating like a human being (instead of a pig)

2. Realized that there is no shortcut to lose weight

3. Made a lifestyle change towards using more natural and chemical free things for personal and house care. My greatest find in this category: Dr. Bronner’s! I use Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds for laundry, hand washing dishes, in the dishwasher, as a carpet cleaner, oven cleaner, car washing soap, shower gel and face wash. Next up in my list is to use it for shampooing as well. 

4. Started recycling every small piece of paper and plastic around my apartment. I thank the City of Austin for making it easy for me to recycle stuff. There is a recycle bin everywhere! How can you not recycle when it’s so convenient to do so?

5. Moved to one of my all time favorite cities in the US- AUSTIN! I <3 Austin, seriously. It gels very well with my liberal mindset. 

6. Left San Antonio for good! Yay! I hate that city. 

7. Started working for a fruit company :-) 

8. Completed 1 year of marital bliss 

9. Went to Hawaii finally. Saw actual lava flow into the ocean. Also drove all the way to the top of Mauna Kia.

10. Got to see the biggest Balloon Festival in the entire world, at Albuquerque Balloon Festival

I’ll do separate posts for “Best Movies from 2011” and “Things I want to do in 2012” :)
