Late Lunch At Black Canyon Coffee

Hubby got back from KL very late last night. Thus, he woke up quite late and didnt have munch at home. After sending Malcolm to school, we went to Jaya Jusco to buy some grocery items. Gordon has been bugging me to take him to McDonald’s since last week. Well, that’s because he remembered we didnt have ice-cream there last week. That kid, he has a good memory.

Anyway, hubby said he wanted to get him the Madagascar 2 Happy Meal set as it had some toy that can errrr “talk” when it’s shaken, lol. In the end, we bought Gordon a Happy Meal set with Alex the Lion, and that fler still insists on his ice-cream after that. And no, we didnt eat anything there as we’ve always felt McD’s food is a real rip-off. I only go there for the ice-cream.

As usual, we ended up having a bite at Black Canyon Coffee… AGAIN, lol. This is what we ordered for Gordon. This is what i call a real meal. A plate of rice with lots of vegetables and a large piece of fish deep-fried with lots of sesame seeds. Gordon loves it. Both hubby and i ordered a bowl of Thai Green Curry with plain rice to go with it. Yummy.

I’m going to watch The Gem Of Life 26 now. When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West 21 is also on tonight. This series is going to end soon. No idea what’s going to replace it. Glad also cos i dont really enjoy it. The Gem Of Life will drag right up till next February. Oh, wateva. Gotta go now. Need my daily TVB drama fix, lol.

How To Get Rid Of Rats In The Kitchen

These few days, my neighbor saw rats scurrying around her kitchen. Dont be alarmed. This is very common where we live. There is nothing much that we can do to prevent rats from entering the house since there are so many places that they can do so from. The only reason they are here is to look for food. What i can do to prevent the rats from coming back is to make sure that there are no food inside the kitchen for them.

My MIL bought some containers to keep all her onions and garlic. She used to keep all her potatoes on a rack until the rats ate some of it. No, rats dont like potatoes, but they will bite into anything to see if it’s edible or not. Onions, garlic and ginger are not spared, believe you me. Our neighbor made a homemade glue rat trap once and says it’s very effective and never fails to catch all the rats in her house.

Geee… i’m familiar with homemade glue rat traps. So, how to get rid of rats in the kitchen? If hubby sees rats around the house, he will buy rat glue from the hardware shop, paste them onto boards and place them around the kitchen. Sometimes, we can catch up to three rats on a single board. I hate the smell of those homemade glue rat traps. They stink, ewwwww. But those glue rat traps work like a charm.

We no longer make our own rat glue traps nowadays. We buy glue rat traps to catch rats around the house. There are quite a few brands available and take this Catchmaster glue rat trap for example. It can even catch snakes!!! If you have rats around the house and you want to catch them, you go give the Catchmaster glue rat trap a try. Dont let those rats run about your kitchen destroying all your food. Good luck.
