Warming Drawer

I am very 孤陋寡闻,only today I realized the existence of such appliances, named "warming drawer". Quote from a website "Warming drawers are the perfect solution for keeping dishes warm while you're waiting for guests to arrive or putting the finishing touches on the rest of the meal. "

They are not cheap!


Look at that! It's really a perfect solution to keep your dishes warm while waiting for your other dishes to complete cooking eh? For me, I always have this problem -- i like to cook, then only take shower before eating the meal. So by the time I finished the shower, some of the dishes are already turned cold, which I really don't like. But there's no way for me to eat first and then shower later because that will mean I have to shower much later - 2 hours after the meal.
 
I want this "toy" when we have our own house next time. It's such a cool feature!

Composting

Just get to learn new vocab as I researching on composting method:

- straw: 稻草
- bark: 树皮
- sawdust: 木屑
- manure: 肥料

And apparently coffee grounds contain high level of nitrogen which worms will find it tasty..

And then, there are those specialize compost bin for sale one, and they are not cheap. This is so new to me.
