Spinach Noodles

I tried to make dumplings with spinach wrapper, and they turned out very uneven.  I think it would work better if I have a juicer.  Anywho, I no longer have a spinach glut, I can return to normal.

Mini Mint

We were so close to throwing the whole mint tray out as it has taken 2 months to sprout.  I spotted a tiny specks of green!  Lets see how long does it now take to grow!

Ubuntu Install Phase 2

I have installed more patches and unpacked more apps on the Ubuntu.  It is still slow, it still doesn't have driver on some devices.  It is good for watching video and listening to music.  I am still debating if I should release to the wild or keep it for a backup.

Ubuntu Install Phase 1

I opened the laptop for a quick clean.  I suspect the old laptop has a RAM problem, when I swapped the RAMs in their slots, it did not boot, so I swapped them back.  

I installed Ubuntu and it installed okay.  I used a few app, and they worked, except it is extremely slow.  This laptop had a touch screen, fingerprint scanner, screen buttons, wifi, etc, but it appears that there is no available drivers.  There may be more updates before it settles down.

I may release it free to good home.

Ubuntu Install Phase 0

I first learnt about Ubuntu from Andy over 10 years ago.  I am trying to put it on an old laptop.   Before I can install,  I need to download and made a bootable USB.   It took a whole day do make up that bootable USB!

Cultured Margarine

I was wondering why the crumpet got a sourdough funk.   Then I was adding the butter to the pancakes and noticed the funk was on the margarine!   Although people are paying good money for cultured butter,  we decised to throw our cuktured margarine. 
I need to try the Hambleton bread properly next time.

Surprise View Chevin

I rode past the Surprise View Chevin the other day,  so I planned to stop for a visit.   It was a nice view,  but wasn't exactly surprise.
