[買] Electrolux Immersion Hand Blender 開箱文&Review

Electrolux Immersion Hand Blender bought from Canadian Tire, Toronto at $69.99 on discount 我看了很久很久很久&比較很多blender以後決定買這一隻~ Electrolux Immersion Hand Blender~~~ 我的需求: My Needs -打蛋白,我想烤東西~ Whisk egg white because i want to bake. -攪拌&絞碎東西,因為我在多倫多買到的貢丸都好難吃!!!以前都會特別從鄉下的阿嬤家買貢丸裡面包肉的超好吃噴汁貢丸~這裡全部都沒有... 曾經在網路上看到過可以用food processor自己做,躍躍欲試啊~ Mix and chop things. It's really useful~ although it's not good for chopping bite size because it's too fine that it will chop it into even smaller pieces. I use it for chopping garlic, ginger, onion and things that you want really really small pieces. -想喝果汁~ 一直以來很喜歡木瓜牛奶,以前都是媽媽幫我,現在只能自己來囉~ Blend fruits and vegetables into juices~ it can be used as juicer although it does leave the materials behind. So it's better if the ingredient is mushy like papaya. I have always been a fan of papaya milk, my mom used to make them all the time for me but now i'll have to survive on my own... -廚房很小,沒有太多地方可以放。 it saves a lot of spa...

"Highlights of the week" for a U of T student~ (continue updating)

This semester, in order to regain the passion i had for life that almost worn-out by university work and freedom life, my friend and I decided to launch a program named "Highlights of the week!" project. Starting last week! School starts on 2016-01-11 for 2015/2016 spring semester. On 2016-01-16, After sleeping over at my house, we headed out together after much struggle to search for our desired place to live in for next year. Along the way, we ate lunch at Chinatown, shopped Queen's street, strolled around city hall, and ended the day watching people ski at the Nathan Philips square. Not a long walk, but it was satisfying~ personally, the highlight would be the wonderful lunch because we finally tried something different, and the experience at Michael's. Michael's is so huge that we spent at least 2 hours inside, which is actually really funny. on a side note, it was actually a complicated day for me as i am overwhelmed with the grief of seeing such a youn...
