The Art of Grapefruit Eating (March 3, 2003)

Hi everyone,

Today's entry dates back to March 3, 2003 during university. Then and now, grapefruit remains my morning fruit of choice. Here's a poem dedicated to it.

The Art of Grapefruit Eating 

Sliced in half

Two sides of healthy glowing roundness

Juicy pulp separated into triangular sections 

Leads me to great temptation

*smiling*, digging for that 'triangle'

Punctured pulp, teeth I tear.

Outback Steakhouse (the strip, Las VEGAS)

Lambchops with brocolli, mash potatoes and a full belly. On our outing to Vegas, we munched at outback after having shopped at Ross. Lets have a look at what was on my plate:

What my boyfriend's plate looked like:

With the exception of the malfunctioning elevator that brought you to the 4th floor of Outback, everything was good. There was a whiff of cheese smell passing through the restaurant at times. Glancing over to nearby tables, this could be attributed to orders of cheese fries.

Cheers!

Koon Bo: "Are you the one who ordered the Baked Sago Pudding via telephone?"

Yes, we were the ones who ordered the baked sago pudding via telephone prior to arriving at Koon Bo. After squeezing our car into a tight spot, we arrived, switched tables as we were too close to the door and clinked tea cups:

We then ordered the Peking Duck. Crunchy, savory duck skin. Mmmm...LARGE green onions and hoisin sauce. Have a look:

Here's another angle:

Next came the lettuce wraps made from the remainder of the duck. Lettuce was crispy and duck melange with crispy noodles was savory. We were full and then remembered we had 'ordered the baked sago pudding via telephone'.

Lettuce Wraps:

We didn't actually finished the wraps so off we go, taking them home. Tony and I decided to make fried rice with it for Sunday dinner. Here's a panoramic shot of that evening's clientele:

Tony, Rene and I have seen the Sago Puddings coming out of the kitchen and alas, we get ours. Tony says, "Wow, LOOK around. This thing is ordered by tables of 10 Clara! What is that anyways????

Here is the sago pudding:

View from the bowl:

You all should've smelled this thing when it came out of the oven. It was piping hot, sweet and comforting. I think I scalded my throat with this though....

And this fish says, "BYE FOR NOW!"

Your Car Smells Nice : DIY Air Freshener

Happy Easter everyone :0)!

This will be my first 2013 blog post and hope you all will try it out.

After being car-less for a while, I was fortunate to come upon my current volkswagon cabrio with the help of the current gentleman I'm seeing . The down but fixable side of the story is that the car had some mold on the seat due to her having been parked in the rain for three months.

Not wanting to shampoo my car with chemicals, I youtubed "ways to get mold out of your car" and found that a concoction of water and vinegar in a spray bottle, coupled with brush scrubbing will get rid of it. So it's gone now. But to ensure she will always smell nice, I've found a way to make my own air freshener for the car. Here you go:

This is the final product :)

Materials Needed:

1. colored felt
2. scissors
3. ribbon (or something that has oooph to it)
4. scented oil

Use a hole puncher to create a hole in the shape.

 

 



 



Add scented oil to the shape :0)

 

 

Insert ribbon and make a knot!
