Beyond the Box
I have been watching Beyond the Box by HGTV every chance that I get when I catch it on TV when the little boy is asleep and I have free time to watch TV while I work. I am impressed by some of the houses they feature in this show. Those unique, affordable homes that can be created with homeowners’ vision, great design sense, and innovation.
There was one home that has some features similar to the dream home that I have in mind. The quality laminate flooring they used for their home was nice, inexpensive and just what I wanted. I am going to find more time to browse on the houses they have featured before. It is just inspiring to look at those nice houses that makes me want to work harder so that one day soon we could also have our very own house similar to one of those beautiful and functional houses featured at Beyond the Box
It shows every Monday at 10AM, Thursday at 10:30AM and Friday at 3:30PM if these schedules are right at the Lifestyle Network, in case you want to watch it too.
Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate
This is the Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate that my mom sent to us from the Christmas package that my dear elder sister sent to us from UK. This is really sweet. At first I thought I could just drink it as it is even a little and I did not know that it was juice concentrate so you could imagine how sweet this tasted when I drank it straight without adding any water. Only a little of this for a glass of water will do for me but I was late to know that.
It is delicious and it is the first time that hubby and I have tasted anything like this with squash. I could not actually point out the taste of squash int his juice concentrate. It is more of strong sweet apple taste. the label says no added sugar from this concentrated apple juice drink with sweeteners. Yes it is kind of too sweet for me but I think my sister liked this that is why she sent this to us for us to enjoy drinking it as well.
This should have been our “wine” during New Year. There is still a few left of this since I don’t drink this anymore than hubby does once in awhile.
Draining Faster… Alleluia!
Since June last year, our kitchen sink drain has been a problem. This is not the first time. Last year was the second month of June when this drain problem started. The water would drain so slow making washing dishes difficult. I could do the dish washing with no complain as long as I have strong running water, a good liquid soap and a good kitchen sink that drains fast. But washing dishes which should be finished within a few minutes would extend to thirty minutes or an hour while waiting for the water to drain. Brushing teeth is also hard to do there since I don’t like to do that in the bathroom sink. (more…)
