• Salad Stacker

  04.10.07 |Myself, Skill, Tips| Permalink | 5 Comments

  Today my colleague treats the department to Pizza Hut. As you know the salad bowl they provide is very small and shallow. I was always designated as the salad stacker. I am not a pro but I can stack up to feed 10 hungry souls. This comes with a lot of practice and also the way the Pizza Hut staff cuts the salad.

  First you have to put a thin layer of lettuce at the bottom. Start a small corner with some coleslaw. Align the cucumber in a straight line, closely with the coleslaw supporting it. You can put other stuff to support the cucumber. When the cucumbers are closely aligned in a circle, you can stack widely. Before stacking the food, leave some space for the sauce, so that it will not split. Later, you can close the sauce with some shredded carrots or cucumbers. You can begin the stack the honey dews and the water melon. If the water melon is cut in cubes, it will be easier to stack like blocks.

  Wah lah….

  
  

  By the way, I only do this when I am eating with a crowd. For my family, I probably will just take what I like because only 2 of us who like salad. I am not going to waste the food.

  Happy Trying!!

• Bean Bag Project

  11.26.05 |Hobby, Skill| Permalink | 17 Comments

  Jasmine sent me a bean bag design from the craft book she bought. When I received it, I was very eager to start the project. I shopped for the cloth, found a few nice cloths with cartoon patterns. I got 3 sets. They were very cheap, only RM8 for 3 meters. For this project you only need 3 meters with 150cm wide.

  
  
  

  First you need to draw the pattern on a piece of brown paper. Then you pin it to your cloth and cut out the pattern. You need to send the pattern to have the edges sown so that the thread at the edge will not shred. Later you join them all together using a swing machine. The tough part is sewing the zip. When you sew the zip, make sure there is no hole, otherwise the beans will spill.

  Yesterday, I went hunting for beans but didn’t find any. *Frus* I don’t really know why, every time I want to look for something, I sure cannot find it here in the shops. Anyway I took the beans from my old bean bag and transfer it to the new.

  Now tell me, how much this bean bag is worth?

  Tada…the process & the product:
