We all know that there are many benefits of having home cooked food regularly instead of dining out or ordering from a restaurant. Preparing home cooked meals saves money, helps control portions, is a way to eat healthier and potentially reduce the risk of having allergic reactions. It is also a great way to bring the family together for meal preparation and to dine with that wholesome family time feeling.
However, if you are busy with work, other household responsibilities or taking care of kids, cooking can become a burden instead of an enjoyable feat. That’s where we (the e-grocery, FreshToHome) come in. We pride ourselves in bringing high-quality ingredients, fresh produce, and tasty ready-to-cook meals to your doorstep.

All items are also 100% clean label, which means they are made with a few, clean ingredients that consumers are aware of. All products are vacuum packed and delivered in temperature-controlled vehicles within 90 minutes via express delivery or the next day.
We also believe in our service so much that we are one of the rare e-commerce brands to offer a money-back guarantee on freshness, product quality and taste, so you can rest assured that you will always get products that are safe for you and your family to consume.
Eating with FreshToHome is not only convenient but also budget friendly as we get our fresh food directly from farmers and fishermen, eliminating the time and costs associated with sourcing from middlemen.

Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
Who is Mohammed Al Halbousi?
The new speaker of Iraq’s parliament Mohammed Al Halbousi is the youngest person ever to serve in the role.
The 37-year-old was born in Al Garmah in Anbar and studied civil engineering in Baghdad before going into business. His development company Al Hadeed undertook reconstruction contracts rebuilding parts of Fallujah’s infrastructure.
He entered parliament in 2014 and served as a member of the human rights and finance committees until 2017. In August last year he was appointed governor of Anbar, a role in which he has struggled to secure funding to provide services in the war-damaged province and to secure the withdrawal of Shia militias. He relinquished the post when he was sworn in as a member of parliament on September 3.
He is a member of the Al Hal Sunni-based political party and the Sunni-led Coalition of Iraqi Forces, which is Iraq’s largest Sunni alliance with 37 seats from the May 12 election.
He maintains good relations with former Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki’s State of Law Coaliton, Hadi Al Amiri’s Badr Organisation and Iranian officials.
The drill
Recharge as needed, says Mat Dryden: “We try to make it a rule that every two to three months, even if it’s for four days, we get away, get some time together, recharge, refresh.” The couple take an hour a day to check into their businesses and that’s it.
Stick to the schedule, says Mike Addo: “We have an entire wall known as ‘The Lab,’ covered with colour-coded Post-it notes dedicated to our joint weekly planner, content board, marketing strategy, trends, ideas and upcoming meetings.”
Be a team, suggests Addo: “When training together, you have to trust in each other’s abilities. Otherwise working out together very quickly becomes one person training the other.”
Pull your weight, says Thuymi Do: “To do what we do, there definitely can be no lazy member of the team.”
