    Ness you should get one more of this chopping board, it can double as a ping pong bat lol.

    I am tempted to get a few more actually :)

    buy buy buy! I have a small facination with chopping board :) Just heard a cook show host saying that "if servicing food on basket is very 80s/90s, serving food on chopping board is the trend now"

    One of my Swedish friend has a chopping board her father-in-law made from a tree he chopped down in the wood. Very beautifully done.

    Mr Merry,

    How often do you have to clear the dust off the massive open bookshelves ? :)

    updates from mrs merry:

    I dust it with the magic duster every 2 weeks. It's really not so bad. :D

    Hi Mrs Merry

    Oh I should get a duster! I clean using a wet cloth once every 3-4 weeks. So much work!

    Cloth! No, no!!

    Use a magic clean duster. The dust sticks on the duster. In actual fact I used 1 piece per mth. And I also used it to dust the TV console and many others.

    And with cloth, invest in a good piece of cloth from 3M. I have one that's costs about $5 from NTUC; so loving it. Effortless and dust clings on it and easily rinse off. :D

    Cloth better leh. Duster not 100% clean. And dust might drop on the floor.

    Dust drop on the floor not too bad but headache when they drop on the shelf behind the book or display item. I use those no brand micro fiber cloth for my cleaning jobs.

    Think I will invest in a good duster and use cloth to do a more thorough cleaning once every 2-3 months :)

    Since we are on the topic of household chores... what dish washing liquid do you guys use? I am using Mama Lemon now and find its not as good as in the past in getting rid of the grease unless I soak them in hot water before cleaning.

    honestly... i don't think the hubs watches Nigella Lawson for the recipes hahahahahaahhaa

    oh and you're right - he hates kylie kwong. hahhahaa

    have to ask him what he hates about KK - is it the accent, the clothes or her face in general

    Lol! I always think her recipes are mostly butter and cream to make it taste yum.

    As long as no kylie kwong on the decal. That one is fish sauce extraordinaire.

    Haha if I am visually challenged and listening to Nigella cook show I will be full of images of how she looks and the food lol. Saw her cooking chinese soup noodles, looks really unappetising !

    Haha turquoise is the new black!

    I wanted some splash of turquoise in the flat initially by asking the painter to paint a rattan chair or the IKEA step ladder into turquoise, didnt execute due to time constraint (mad rusn trying to complete reno b4 cny)

    LOL...i am no chef. Here are some of my suggestions...Donna Hay, Donovan Cooke, Matt Preston, Heston Blumenthal, Thomas Keller?

    btw, love it that Marco is there on the list :)

    I was about to ask why Nigella Lawson is on the list and does she deserves such a prominent space on the walll, and what about Donna Hay haha

    Oh I have the exact same Samsung washing machine for slightly over two years now! Bought the extended warranty from best denki and so far so good ! I called Samsung to level the washing machine twice (when I first purchased and when I moved here this Jan). Service is very prompt and the uncle even changed the hose that was damaged during move free of charge.

    Wanted a F&P dryer for aesthetic reasons too but changed to a 7kg electrolux dryer with auto dry sensor after the salesman at Harvey Norman showed me the flimsy interiror. Hope yours is fine :)

    It's 2 months in the new house! Mr Merry snapped the first photo showing his mopping evidence; whilst on his Teacher's Day off day last Friday.

    ...

    Our house remain bare. The speed of how dust accumulated is like a child sucking lolly. Fast and messy.

    ....

    Best to ask chef Vanessa (she will probably recommend brands other than WMF) ! Personally for cutleries I prefer to see and feel them before purchase. I used to travel to Sweden 6-8 times a year for work. Bought a number of items from a shop selling Boda Nova stuf during sales, and from their factory outlet abt 30 minutes drive from the small town I frequent.

    Hi Greg,

    I just received my first taobao purchase from oldskool this evening, very happy with the quality of the products! Thanks for sharing the links and the write ups on how to 淘宝 you did a while ago !

    Made a very conservative purchase of a set of 30cm x 30cm canvas of iconic landmarks in a few cities , and a jamie oliver chopping board from Vanessa's taobao link :

    Yaman! Besides drilling assembling or moving things around can be quite a big challenge! I just spent more than 45 mins to reposition my hammock into a swing! Decided to ditch the chunky metal chains I used in the past and had to reposition 4 super tight figure-8 knotts on the mountain climbing ropes for it to use as a yoga swing.

    Ness create a mailing list and keep us posted on your cooking classes!

    Sarah i am not the most tech savvy...dont know where to start to do that!

    Hi Ness,

    Just took a quick look at your Facebook page CulinaryNess, how about including a small description in your About/CulinaryNess section or your blog to ask those who are interested to be kept informed of upcoming events to email you at vanessa@culinaryness.com? You keep the emails in a word/excel file and email them when you have a new event? You can ask your more tech-savvy friends how to merge the mailing list to the email if the list is long!!
