Final entry for the year?

Punya la malas nak tulis so just wanna share what I had written in FB Notest masa I sibuk2 nak tanam parsley last few weeks..

With help from Mr Wiki and En Wiki, this is what I found:

1. Daun Saderi = Daun Sup = Celery = Apium graveolens

Celery leaves and stalks


Celery Plant

2. Daun ketumbar = Coriander Leaves = Chinese Parsley = Cilantro = Coriandrum sativum

Coriander leaves

Coriander Plant

3. Parsley = Petroselinum crispum

Two main parsley groups used as herbs are:

a) Curly leaf = P.Crispum Crispum Group

Curly leaf parsley plant

b) Italian = Flat leaf = P. Crispum Neapolitanum Group

Italian or Flat leaf parsley

baking in glass dish

Now that  I know for sure my oven is still working, I am itching to bake a cake. I don't own any baking tin though. After successfully baked the lasagne (read: nothing was broken and no one was hospitalized after eating it) in my glass dish, I wonder if I can bake a cake in it too.. I have googled about baking in glass dish and found many positive response on it but I am just still not confident as my mom says that a drop of water could break my dear pyrex.. For someone who does not have a budget to buy a pyrex in anytime soon, that really scares me..

So, dear friends and readers (if any), kindly advise if I can bake this
in this?

photo album vs photobook

Adam is going to be two in a month. Just like any parents, we have many photos of him.Unfortunately, almost all of them are in digital form. We only have 2 albums of Adam as a baby. Those albums covered the first few months of Adam as a baby.


Apart from laziness, another main factor is the cost. It is very expensive to print a photo. What more if you have thousands of pictures that you need to pick from. And all of them made your baby look cute.. What a tough decision to make!

Or should I resort to photobook instead?


But with so many of them in the market, how do I know which one offers the best quality for money? And to think of the work you have to go through to organize the album before sending it to print, can make anyone give up without even trying.

Which material would be best? Which photobook has the most user friendly tools? What is the best way to organize the pictures? How long would it take to be ready? What if the quality is not as per they claim? Which pictures should I pick? How many pictures can fit into a book? How much would a book cost? And the list of questions continues...

So, anyone out there who has the experience please do share with me :)
