A friend sent me this picture. It’s a Ceramic Butter Keeper. She wanted to know where she can buy a good ceramic butter keeper online. I’ve seen ceramic butter keepers before but never occurred to me to buy one back. Not that my family eat a lot of better to begin with.
Now, let’s talk a bit about this ceramic butter keeper. And just like its name, it can help you keep your butter soft and spreadable at room temperature for up to a month without it going bad. It’s also known as a butter bell in some countries. It’s very easy to use. Just place your butter into the container at the top, pour some water into the bottom container, and invert the top back into the bottom container. This will seal out the air and keeps your butter soft and spreadable each time hunger strikes. Easy peasy!!!
Now that i understand how this ceramic butter keeper works, i believe i somehow NEED one desperately now, lol. The reason i seldom use butter on my bread is because it’s NOT spreadable each time i take it out of the fridge. I hate it when i want to eat bread with butter, and the butter is cold and hard. Who has the time to wait for it to soften, right. By then, i would have forgotten all about it already; troublesome. I know we can now buy spreadable butter, but, i hate the high water content. Moreover, they are more expensive than my regular favorite brand. Why pay extra for water, lol!!!!
So, if you are like me, dont you think butter ought to be out on your kitchen table instead of inside the fridge? Well, here are some of the best ceramic butter keepers that i’ve found online. My friend bought a lot of them. She says she’s going to give them away to friends and family members for Christmas, LOL!!!! Good idea. I think i’ll do the same too. Check out the range of ceramic butter keepers here:

Malcolm just cant stop eating this Kameya’s Wasabi Mayonaise that i bought a few days ago. I told him it’s to be eaten with eggs, and he happily took three eggs from the fridge and handed them to me. What to do…. if my kid wants to eat the Kameya’s Wasabi Mayonaise, i’ll have to cook some eggs for him. It’s actually very nice if you are a fan of Japanese wasabi. It’s not as pungent as the normal Wasabi that we eat at Japanese restaurants, but it really does compliment the mayonaise very well.
If you havent tried this Kameya’s Wasabi Mayonaise before, you can go get it from the Japanese Food Promotion at the Concourse Level at Parkson Ipoh for Rm10.99 each. Quite costly as it’s only a small tube of about 250ml or so. I cant be exact as i threw away the packaging that came with it when i took it out. Mine’s already almost half gone as Malcolm keeps wanting a pea-sized glob each time he goes to the kitchen.

Just got back from Tesco. It’s another hot afternoon. I went straight to Tesco and had lunch there before proceeded to do my grocery shopping for the week. I made a shopping list and went about picking the items from the respective aisles. Tesco at Station 18 is quite big and by the time i’m done picking up the various items, i’m truly truly exhausted. Glad i ate first, lol.
Just a quick rundown on what’s for who and blah, blah, blah. Horlicks and Nural Milk Powder are for Malcolm. Milo is Gordon’s. Honey Stars, Ribena, Rice Crackers and Tamago Sushi are to be shared between the both of them. Campbell’s Soup is mine. Great midnight snack with a few scoops of Quaker oats. Shanghai Noodles, Leggo’s Calabrese Pasta Sauce and Tesco’s Riccioli are convenient food.
I’m still not done with shopping yet. There are a few more items that Tesco doesnt have. I cant seem to locate where they place Marmite. I need Colostrum supplement for my kids. Watson’s has it. And then, Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil with spray pump is no where to be found. Dont have McCormick Garlic Powder with Parsley either. Both available at Cold Storage. Looks like another round is imminent tomorrow. Nevermind… Hubby’s on his way back from KL. He can drive me there

These are what i bought for the weekend. Three types of milk. Two Marigold versions, and one Drinho Soyabean Milk. The plain Marigold milk is for me to make my kids Creme Caramel Custard or Butter Cake if the mood strikes, dunno when lah. Hopefully this weekend. The Marigold Chocolate Milk is for Gordon, and Drinho Soya Bean Milk is for Malcolm.
Haiyo… i still have lots of organic soya bean in the fridge lehhh. Just keep forgetting to soak them and make homemade organic soya milk for my kids and hubby. I’ll make some homemade organic soya bean milk when he comes back next week. Do you like homemade soya bean milk? It’s very nutritious, you know. Easy job when you have an automatic soya bean milk maker. Next time i make soya bean milk, i’ll keep some of the okara and make pancakes with it.
And then, there’s Marigold Strawberry Yoghurt for the kids. Dare not buy many cos they’ll want to finish them at one go. All they want to do is go to the kitchen and open the fridge and eat yoghurt all the time. Aitelyu, damn stressful wann. Massive headache for me. So now, finish this one, no more, lol. Go ask Papa buy. Maybe i’ll take my yoghurt maker down from the top of the kitchen cabinet and make them some homemade organic yoghurt too, hoh.
Malcolm is such a picky eater that it’s difficult to get food in him. Since he likes cake so much, i bought him this Coffee-flavored Swiss roll as a standby food. Hubby bought him one the other day and he likes it worrr. So, i also follow lorr. Faisi think so much. Not that i have the time to take him out for Cakes without hubby around.
Last, is the loaf of Gardenia’s latest offering, Delicia Chocolate Raisin bread. Hubby bought two loaves of Gardenia’s Delicia Butterscotch and Malcolm wanted a few slices when the last loaf was about to finish. I still have two more slices. Too bad, this Butterscotch runs out really fast. I went to five shops and no one has it, sienzz. All i got was this in Chocolate Raisin. Hope they like it lah.

Frankly speaking, i have no idea what they call this section inside Jaya Jusco Supermarket. But this is where we buy cookies for our kids. There are lots of cookies in various shapes, sizes and flavors there. Moreover, my kids get to try before we buy, lol. Less wastage this way.
The cookies there are priced according to weight. We just scoop what we want into plastic bags and take it to the nearby counter for weighing and priced for payment. Definitely cheaper than buying pre-packed branded cookies in the long run.
