Food For Beauty

I have lots of Bananas, Cucumbers, Carrots, Celery, Turnips and Tomatoes in my refrigerator. And was hoping that when the refrigerator was able to breathe again, it would keep the said foodies cool and fresh. Unfortunately, it died again and no amount of resuscitation will ever make it breathe again. whew.. I can not imagine why it is happening to our refrigerator. Perhaps it can be attributed to the constant sudden-On-Off mechanism brought about by the rotational brown out. So now, I fear for all my vegetables and fruits. They would be experiencing oxidative stress right now, lol..

Seriously, without the refrigerator, the shelf-life of the said foodies are not the same as having them in the refrigerator. This can be likened to our skin. If we walk under so much heat, our skin would dry up. So much cold, the same. That is why we need protection by using products that help preserve and take care of our skin.

Oh my goodness, I have just been ranting about our refrigerator and now I am talking about the skin, silly me. hehehe.. But, am I wrong about such comparison? Surely, there is some relevance and similarity right?

Our Dream Kitchen

Lili and I always watch our favorite cooking shows at Lifestyle Network. Then last night, while watching Barefoot Contessa, she told me that she wants us to have a kitchen just like the host's kitchen. So that when we will cook together, we will have a very nice open space and a very organized kitchen at that.  Not to mention the garden from where she plants and harvests her own herbs and spices. She loves how the pots hang on the ceiling, and dangle from time to time, while all the other equipment and gadgets are in place behind the island.  I bet the ones used to organize the pots on the ceiling were enclume pot racks. They look really nice, and shiny. I wonder how much each enclume pot rack would cost.. Oh well, I bet the price for each of the enclume pot racks are well worth every dime and penny. Hmm..just thinking out loud..

Anyway, apart from the kitchen and all the equipment and gadgets, Lili also likes the herbs and spices that the host is using.. She then asked if we could plant some of them in our mini garden. Oh my goodness. My 4 year old is little by little becoming Martha Stewart, lol.. Ah.. But she took it from me. At an early age, I too was interested with cooking and gardening. Only I did not have any of the luxuries that Lili has now..  The luxury of time and a patient mommy (well sometimes, lol..)
