Growing Scallion From Sprouted Bulbs

Image
Assalamualaikum. Yesterday my mom and I went for groceries shopping. When my mom wanted to buy shallots, I asked her to pick some with sprouts on. Nowadays, I will go crazy when I see sprouted bulbs (eg onion, shallot, garlic) I feel like buying all the bulbs with sprouts on. Thank goodness my mom stopped me from buying the bulbs. So yesterday I just chose two small sprouted bulbs. This morning I decide to sow the bulbs immediately as I don't want it to go bad. I read through a blog entry (http://mypottedgarden.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-i-plant-sprouted-onions.html) that teaches on how to grow scallions from sprouted bulbs and I try all the tips today. I peel off the outer skin of the bulbs and wash off the dirt. After that, I sow the bulbs in the same pot I planted my scallions before. Hopefully the space is just enough for the bulbs to grow beautifully. Naked bulbs ready to meet the soil The pot now has 4 shallot bulbs Hopefully the scallions will grow faster and h

Let's Go Gardening

Image
Assalamualaikum wbt. So yesterday I promised that I'd update about my gardening activity. So yeah in this entry I will tell you more about my gardening activity. I started to get into gardening after watching English and Korean TV show whereby they show people grow their own greens even staying at the flat/apartment (whatever you call that).  So I got so motivated to grow my own greens around my house. My parents are gardening maniacs they go gardening every single day (except the day they are so busy they are not at home the whole day). We have our own Edible Garden whereby my parents planted tropical fruits, herbs and beautiful flowers to kinda give a colorful look to my house. As for me, I like to grow something that I can cook and eat, but my mom lovessssss to plant flowers because it's kinda a stress therapy to her. Every evening, she would go out, sit down near her flowers and take a look at the flowers. My dad on the other hand loves to plant tropical fruits such as r

I'm Back Once Again

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.  Wow it's been quiteeee a while since I updated my dusty blog. Been so busy with study life (sort of lol). I'm having my 2 months break before completing my bloody scary final semester. Nothing much happened for the past few months. It's fasting month now where Muslims all around the world are prohibited from eating and drinking during the day. Once again, I have the opportunity to fast at home without any distraction (studying to be exact). Lately I'm so into gardening that I feel like growing everything on my own. Hahaha. Right now, I'm growing my own scallion, red chilli and dill in my edible garden at home. I'll be updating my gardening activity soon including the pictures of what I've planted so far. So I guess I've nothing much to write so yeah so long and goodbye.

Dusty blog yeah?

It's been a while since I updated this dusty blog. Just don't know what to write about. There weren't many interesting things going on in my life for the past few months. I'm officially a student after not being a student for few months, I'm still an unemployed dudette, my love for cooking isn't fading instead it grows bigger and stronger. That's all I reckon. What a boring life I have but I'm quite happy with my life right now. I have a lovely family, I have enough food to eat. I have a comfortable house. I live in a good environment with positive vibes (I reckon). Currently I'm quite in a mood to lose some weight and change to a healthy lifestyle. When you're at home, you just can't resist the temptation to eat like crazy. There's no 'diet' in my self-dictionary when I'm at home. I start to go for jogging (3 km is enough for me at the moment), swimming (100m is okay), and cycling within my neighbourhood area. That pretty mu

Unemployed Dudette

Assalamualaikum. It's been few months since I updated my blog. It's not that I'm tied up with something but I'm so lazy like crazy. Being at home makes me feel like hibernating all day long. I just finished my practical training recently and now I become an unemployed dudette. It's good to stay at home but I need something to freshen up my brain & body. Some stuff that I do so far are cooking, reading, swimming, gardening, house-choring and ... just those stuff I think. Hahaha. Right now I'm so into trying new recipes and new cooking techniques. So far I've made:   Caramel candy. Caramel popcorn. Ice cream. Chocolate and raisin bread. Rice puff . (Lots of trials and errors) which turned out quite good I guess (Good for a beginner like me). I'll share some of the recipes on my blog (As if people will read it). Sharing is caring. I found all the recipes with the help of Mr.Google so I'll attach the original websites so that if you're

Breakouts All Over

My face started to break out in the past 6 years I guess. Even though the breakouts is not too severe, it did and still bothers me a lot. I used pretty much everything to clear my breakouts. I used facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer, scrub and what not, but instead of vanishing the breakouts, it's getting worst, worst and worst. I have a very sensitive and dry skin. My face tends to redden easily and get flaky during a cold day and a very hot day. One day, I decided to try caveman regimen. Caveman regimen is a way in which you use chemical in a minimal amount but the best is not to use any chemical on your face at all. I started to go for this regimen for the past 3 months and I guess I can see some improvement on my face. Less redness and just a few breakouts. I throw away my facial cleanser as well as my toner and I only use water to clean and cleanse my face. It's kind of weird because we are used to using our cleanser before we go to bed or when we are getting ready to go

Light It Up Blue

Image
Autism Awareness Light It Up Blue Campaign April is greeting us and it's World Autism Awareness month. Today is 2 April 2014 and it's Light It Up Blue Awareness campaign. It's a campaign to raise awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and people all around the world are encouraged to turn their blue light on or wear blue. I don't have a blue light bulb so I wear blue (my favourite colour! ) today to show my support to people with ASD. This is the least that I could do for them. There will be another campaign called Wear It Blue campaign if I'm not mistaken. Whatever it is, I'm going to wear blue more often this month. Hopefully there will be more eye-and-heart-opening awareness campaigns to enlighten people including me about ASD so that we can better understand on how to deal or take care of people with ASD. Nice blue car.-  AutismSpeaks
