{Storage Box Roller Casters Added}

One great advantage of following other bloggers is to pick up some great ideas once in a while. Blogger friend Daniela from the blog: Frugal Ain't Cheap, is such an example. You will find two links below this post from where I got this idea for adding Roller Casters to our Storage Box in the garage. Thanks Daniela!

We used to keep this on our balcony to store the chaise's cushions.

With our remodeled attic we now can keep them there, nearby the balcony, for use.

It is a Suncast Resin Deluxe Deck Box with Seat from Wayfair.com and now it is in our garage as a favorite lounge area for our felines.

You see the Roller Casters underneath...

Pieter glued some planks underneath with the casters attached.

Detail of such a Roller Caster that we got at The Home Depot, together with those planks and they are cheap.

{Tiny Silver Vase with Rosebud Pelargonium}

Just to give you a more precise idea about HOW tiny our Silver Repoussé Vase from my previous post: {Our Wild Violets} actually is, here it is again now filled with our Rosebud Pelargonium.

You see? There is a US quarter next to this tiny silver vase.
That vase I snatched away on eBay as it actually is the KNOB of a Victorian style walking stick or parasol!
A silver repoussé rosebud knob, that was missing its stick.
See below post some examples from Christie's.
I saw right away the use for it as it was flat at the top; now bottom when used as a vase...

Mind you, these are NOT real roses but instead our Rosebud Pelargonium...
Are they not darling looking like the real thing?!

Arranged her are the Red Rosebud and the Apple Blossom Rosebud...

Outside in the sun of our balcony...

On the balcony's teak table.
Don't you love them?

Such lovely miniature rosebuds to play with!

Now on top of our Brown Jordan Chaise...

Showing the Apple Blossom Rosebuds.

Pink edges and so beautiful.

Light does affect their color just a tad...

Are these not a dream?

Time to say goodbye!
Do you have any of these Rosebud Pelargonium?

{Shaved Brussels Sprouts & Tofu with Tri Color Quinoa}

For Healthy Living we love to shop at Trader Joe's and that's how I found these Shaved Brussels Sprouts & Tofu with Tri Color Quinoa. 

Brussels Sprouts are a favorite vegetable for both of us.

My Dad used to grow them commercially and so did Pieter's Dad, thus we grew up with them.

But that they now are being offered 'SHAVED' that was new!

High Protein Super Firm Tofu for dicing up and ready to go.

Of course, having lived and worked in Indonesia, we are so used to a Tofu rich diet and we love it!

Either in soups or other dishes.

Japanese food also uses lots of tofu and fermented tofu.

In Indonesia we call the fermented tofu, tempeh.

That too we can buy at Trader Joe's!

Wish my Parents could have seen this product; they would be amazed.

Using Olive Oil, I did first stir-fry some garlic, than the diced tofu and adding the shaved brussels sprouts.

You can use some oriental spices of your liking or add some sauce.

For a quick and healthy meal I did add tri-colored Quinoa from Trader Joe's and that was it!

Are you using any of these ingredients for your supper?
