A very rocky road day

empty

For the record, I ate everything all by myself  in one not fine day   :-( 

I had a thing, I'm not in my good self this past few days.  Yeah, eating this made it worst, tsk!

Clean-up time: Refrigerator

Phew! :D  I just finished cleaning our fridge today! 

We should protect our food from any bacteria.  Therefore, we should not forget cleaning refrigerator at least once a month.  Others say, it would be better if once a week.  Well, its up to you.  But just to remind you that once or twice a year is a very bad housekeeping.  We don't want our family to get sick. 

This is how I clean my fridge, just basic cleaning:

1.  Turn off control knob inside the fridge.  I turn it off cos I just leave it open while cleaning and not to waste electricity;

2.  Remove all your consumables, containers, or everything inside;

3.  Check all the food that's outdated, moldy and spoiled.  Throw all away.  Even if its not my cleaning time, I weekly check the food cos often times my kids get food without my permission;

4.  Pull out all removable parts inside the fridge and wash with antibacterial dish soap.  Dry;

5.  Wipe everything inside fridge with multi-purpose antibacterial cleaner;

6.  Wipe outside fridge too especially the handles;

7.  Put back the clean removable parts inside the fridge;

8.  Turn on the control knob to recommend setting; and

9.  Clean all the food containers before returning inside refrigerator. 

Letters to Juliet

The trailer of the movie seems nice.  I also like the background music.   Hope I get to watch it ;-)

An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by a the "secretaries of Juliet" -- and she goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter.

Dry Noodle

The noodle is from Myojo Mee Poh dry noodle.  The toppings are sauteed shiitake mushrooms (with garlic and teaspoon of soysauce) and fish cake.  I also added bean sprouts.

When to change pillows?

When to change bed pillows had been in my head way back when I knew that there are stuffs that needs to be replace in time.  Its just that, I always missed to check about it.  Haiz!  At last,  now I know the answer to my overdue question.

According to:

Reduce allergies: Replace pillows every year
Hair and body oils will have soaked into a pillow's fabric and stuffing after a year of nightly use, making it a breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria and allergy-triggering dust mites. Using protectors can double the life of your pillows.

Representatives for the Martex Company, a bedding manufacturer, suggest that allergens such as dust mites, bacteria, mold and mildew, along with human factors such as perspiration and drool, can cause pillows to become unhealthy in two to three years. Allergens can be somewhat eliminated by tossing pillows in a clothes dryer set on a high temperature and adding a tennis ball or two to effectively fluff them. Some Poly-Fil pillows may be washed, but unless they are fairly pricey ones, they don't withstand more than one or two washings. Martex scientists recommend replacing bed pillows every two years.

Changing pillows would be our next project.  I hope we can change it very very soon and would include it on my anniversary checklists ;-)  Btw, I would schedule it every 2 years :P
