Bentos # 147-149

Bento #149

MP's breakfast bento - A little dull looking, should have used some green or red to brighten it up a little!

Anyway, a simple HK bacon sandwich (idea from Shoppingmum) with quail egg, cereal and grapes.

Bento #148

DH's breakfast bento - Bacon sandwich with some grapes. The two tone cheese are quite fun to play with.

Bento #147

Dinner bento - Face onigri with some tomatoes, curry kapitan chicken and potatoes and stir fried long beans with bean curd.

The type of cheese used for the two tones of yellow. Tks to Amy for her suggestion (she uses Chesedale brand). Interesting to note that these Kraft cheese are made in Thailand!!

Garbage enzyme formula

Apparently there are useful uses for this enzyme - noteably to clean floors and keep away insects! I'm hoping it will keep ants and cockroaches away!!

Just sharing (if any one is interested).

Ingredients (Ratio is 1:3:10 (sugar: fruit: water))
200g raw/brown sugar
600g fruit skin, raw vegetables
2 litre water

Source: picture obtained from reading source referred below.

Method:

1. Mix sugar with water.
   
2. When sugar fully dissolved, put in fruit skin, raw vegetables etc. (Cut into small pieces first).



3. Make sure there is room at the top of the bottle for fermentation.
   
4. Don't fill it too full (leave some space/gap at the top).




5. Close cover.
   
6. Every day open the cover to let out the 'smell or gas'. Repeat until no further 'smell or gas' comes out. Give the compost a turn or quick mix.
   
7. Keep covered for 3 months. If there is mold, don't worry, continue to stir and mix it up.

I am going to start my first 'brew' soon, will report back later (3 months later that is!!).
