Disinfectant Wipes: Since these products are so scares right now, heres a way for you to make your own. It really upsets us that we can not get the proper cleaning supplies, sanitizer and what not. Stock is like non existent for everyone. It’s pretty sad. Tim and I think it’s a must to have these two things in every vehicle! Disinfectant Wipes & Hand Sanitizer. We can not find any lysol wipes or any other disinfectant wipes anywhere. We had bought a pack of 3 lysols wipes months ago so now have the empty containers.This actually works very well, we were quite impressed!! I know it’s hard to find paper towel as well but we finally found some! It’s has to be a good quality paper towel and not a double roll just a regular roll. I took a cleaver but any sharp knife will work and I cut the paper towel roll down to size to fit into Lysol container. Once cut down you want to remove the center cardboard piece. I also had to remove 2 outer layers of paper towels to fit into container. You can use numerous kinds of disinfectants in here make sure it’s one of the ones that kills germs 99.9%. You also need to dilute this as it’s very concentrated. Dilute as per directions say. I poured about 1/3 full in container then submerged the papertowel. Then poured another cup or so all over top making sure all paper towel gets soaked.You want to pull the paper towel out from the centre of the roll not from the outer edge. It’s great! It works very good we have gone through a few containers all ready.Hand Sanitizer: Rubbing alcohol is also pretty scares to get but it is easier to find then hand sanitizer. We had lots of this stuff already in the house so we made a few bottles. Since hand sanitizer in like non existent everywhere at the moment. Here’s a recipe you can try out. Simple, all you need. 3OZ rubbing alcohol 70% 1OZ aloe vera 1/4TSP vitamin E oil (optional)We will get through this everyone, clean hands. Clear Heads. Help others and Stay safe!
Were getting lots of cooking done being in the house all the time. Kids are enjoying helping us. Hope everyone is staying happy and safe during this Pandemic! Here’s a great early morning or afternoon recipe to try out. Bottom Layer: 1/2CUP brown sugar 4TBSP butter or margarine 2 apples of your choice. Sliced how ever you want Cake: 3CUPS all purpose flour 1CUP sugar 2TSP cinnamon 1TSP salt 3TSP baking powder 4 large eggs, beaten 2TSP vanilla extract 1CUP milk 3/4CUPS melted butter or margarinePreheat the oven to 350F and spray a 10-12 inch cast iron pan with non stick spray. For the bottom layer I spread around the soften butter with a spatula and sprinkle around the brown sugar evenly. Arrange the apples pieces in the pan how you like.In a bowl put the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and mix well. If you have any apples left over I chop up finely and throw in flour mixture as well. In another bowl, mix the eggs with the milk and vanilla. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter and combined until smooth. Pour the batter over the apples and spread evenly. Bake the cake in the oven until golden about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once a tooth pick inserted comes out clean, it’s done :0)We let cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then run a knife all along the edges to lose the cake so it makes it easier to come out when flipped over.
Get a serving plate that is large enough to fit over cast iron pan. Lay plate over top of pan and flip cake quickly but carefully over. It should slide right out! This cake is enjoyed in our house at anytime of the day. Hope your family enjoys it as much as we do.
1LBS napa cabbage, chopped into quarter size 1LBS bok choy, trimmed and quartered lengthwise 1carrot julienned cut into inch long pieces 3-4 green onions cut into inch long pieces 1/3CUP salt 1/4CUP sugar 2TBSP fish sauce 2TSP ginger cut 3TSP minced garlic 2TBSP crushed chili peppers or Loren red pepper flakes if you have it. 1TBSP each sesame oil & toasted sesame seeds
Slice up napa cabbage & bok choy into quarter size pieces. Wash thoroughly a couple of times. Place in a large bowl, pour your salt in and mix all around coating the cabbage and bok choy very well. Cover with water and I like to use a dinner plate to submerge cabbage under water. Everyone does this for all different times. I find an hour to hour and half is all it needs. I like to turn the cabbage all around half way through. Will be nice and soft when ready. Drain cabbage in colander. And rinse very well. Over and over. Once rinsed and drained well. I like to squeeze excess water out of cabbage and put in a clean bowl.
Blend your fish sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, chili peppers, sesame oil. Til it forms a nice paste.
I like to get my work area all prepped and ready to go. You don’t have to wear gloves but I find for sanitary reasons it’s best too. In a big bowl combine everything, cabbage, bok choy, paste, carrots, green onions and sesame seeds. Mix very well.Store in airtight container on counter overnight then put in fridge in the morning. You can eat it right away or wait for until it starts to ferment. If stored properly this will last a couple months in fridge. Put we all know it’s too good to make it last that long. Kimchi is super flavourful and great for you. You can enjoy this how it is, as a side, cooked in a dish. It’s delicious. We can’t wait to hear what you think.
