Sissy's Pastime

Now I really feel how hard it is to maintain a house and you don’t have the resources in fixing all broken and rotten stuff inside and outside you house. Earlier this year, I was worried because our roof need fixing and thanks to my parents because they send money for buying the roof materials. Then, the faucet in the second bathroom got busted together with the floor and thanks to blogging, I buy the materials to fixed it with the help of the special someone as well. I even planning to buy new tools in the house like a sharp knife, new plates, glass and more, but how can I buy all those for the house if I badly needed to fixed again the roof. I was confident that the last time our roof got fixed, it will give me a lot of time to save and then, I am would hired the same carpenter to fix the other rotter roof. But, for the few days its been raining almost everyday. The other part of the roof give up this time and it need fixing ASAP.

The other day, the rain was very heavy and I was surprise to saw some part of the ceiling are leaking also. I live alone with no job and no savings to spend during emergencies like this. I just call my parents awhile ago and told them about the problem. They’re willing to help but how can they manage to fix it as well if my father’s pension is only enough for their everyday needs. I crossing my fingers on this, thank God for blogging, maybe I can produce a little amount to pay for the expenses once the carpenter estimate the over-all cost on fixing the roof.

I seldom talk and chat my other sis for a few weeks now, maybe their all busy with their lives, family and work. I just look to their FB wall and look for picture of them. And this is what I gather. They look happy and contented. I love snooping around because if my parents texted me or call me, they always ask about my other siblings especially the sis.

Kitchen cutlery represents a major investment for anyone who loves to cook. Professional chefs take their cutlery so seriously it may take years to build a knife portfolio which will be used for the length of their career. While you may not strive for professional status if you enjoy cooking it’s a good idea to invest in top quality cutlery from a top maker – JA Henckels cutlery is a good example as they have been crafting knives sine 1895. A knife or cutlery set from such a company would be well worth looking into.

JA Henckels offers cutlery designed for both amateur and professional cooks and their website is filled with good information about cutlery in general and their own knives in particular. Regardless of knife maker the three factors to consider are materials, design and construction. While a one-piece stainless steel knife may be the choice of many professionals you may be well served with a good quality santoku style knife for slicing, dicing and mincing; it’s not always necessary to buy the top of the line if the quality and design are good quality.

The knives should appear seamless in construction with no loose rivets or wiggle room between the blade and handle as such gaps and imperfections can harbor germs and breed bacteria. A full tang knife is a better investment as the construction ensures longevity; there should be no rough spots or irregularities on the blade.

When you do invest in any cutlery it should be kept clean and dry – never place knives in the dishwasher regardless of how they may be labeled as the hot water and heat of the dry cycle can compromise the overall integrity of the knife. Professionals typically clean their knives with a damp cloth and dry them thoroughly before storing.

We already repair our ceiling earlier this year and have it check a few months when my father visited, but now, it leaking again and not only that, the air-condition is leaking too. It would be fine with me if the leak is manageable but just a few rain and all my buckets are not en ought for the leak. I just hope that it will not rain just like last year because I don’t know what will going to happen to my room.
