TUTORIAL: (Recycled) Business Card Making

I copied these pictures from here. The idea and the result are great.

Here is what you need to do:

Using a used tissue paper box that has a nice pattern on the outer side and a plain inside, you can make your own business cards. All you need to do is to trace around a credit card (or a medicare card or any other card that has the desired dimensions and is not very fragile) and then cut them up to size. You can use a self stamping ink pad to stamp them with your business card details and all ready to go!

DID YOU KNOW ...(30)?

Turtles can absorb oxygen through their rectum and it is possible for them to sustain an oxygen supply for an extended period of time through this process. Some call it 'breathing through butt'. Strange, but true!

TUTORIAL: How to Fold a Fitted Sheet

I learnt how to fold a fitted sheet properly from my husband when we first got married. Before then, I had always thought that it was a hassle to get it right and in many cases, my efforts would result not so pleasantly let alone the frustration I would have. In time, I have met many people who made me feel not so lonely on this matter and I thought sharing an easy to follow audiovisual resource on how to fold a fitted sheet easily may make life easier for many. I hope you find the video useful. 

 Have an easy day today!

FOOD DESIGN (5)

Some people are so smart and skillful, don't you think? I found this somewhere on the internet (can't find the original source) and thought it is something to be shared. In my opinion, this would be a great design for a themed party, especially. Well done to the owner of the idea and the maker of this fun dish!

VEGETARIAN KOFTAS/POTATO PATTIES

These are the photos of some vegetarian koftas that were made for us on a visit to a beautiful family less than a month ago. I enjoyed them so much just like everyone else around the breakfast table that I had to take some photos and share the recipe with you all.

Note that the recipe normally includes some chopped parsley as well but on the day, the host family did not have any in hand, so these potato patties were made without parsley (they were still very delicious!).

Ingredients:

Boiled and mashed potatoes (about 4 medium sized)
Some stale/not fresh bread (inside) or some bread crumbs (about a handful)
1 egg
200g grated tasty or mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh parsley
Salt
Cummin powder (optional)
Black pepper
Some oil (preferably olive oil) for shallow frying

Method:

Make a dough using all of the ingredients required except for bread/ bread crumbs. Add the bread/crumbs at the end and make sure it has a nice consistency; not too runny or doughy. Make patties and cook them in high heat. Be sure that the oil is already hot before you start cooking the patties.

Enjoy!
