Jaffle Iron

A jaffle iron is a common Australian appliance. You use it to make toasted sandwiches - the sandwich is split into 2 triangles and the edges get sealed together. If you have cheese inside, it gets all melty and gooey but doesn't seep out (so no mess).

I've also used the machine very successfully with waffle batter - regular waffles, belgian waffles, choc chip waffles, mochi waffles. It's a lot easier to clean than a waffle iron.

This machine makes 2 sandwiches at a time or makes about 12-20 jwaffle triangles per batch.

Macau Guide Book and Money

I just did a visa run to Macau and have some MOP leftover. Get the money and the guide book to make your own successful (and cheap) visa run.

Macau Guide Book
  • includes information on the 25 stops of the Historic Walk
  • Maps of the Macau Peninsula, including sections for North, South, West+Central, and East
  • Attractions listed with bus numbers
  • Sections on Coloane and Taipa
  • small enough to carry in purse/backpack
Money
  • 150 MOP in bills
  • 12.50 MOP in coins - good for taking the bus, which doesn't give change. The Airport bus is 4.20 and additional baggage costs 3 MOP. 
  • The exchange place at the airport gives a crappy rate - this one is better! The online exchange says that 162.50 MOP is 657 TWD.

        Too many mozzies? Get them with this rechargeable racket. On charge the suckers really get zapped. Current is not strong enough to hurt a person though - so feel safe. When power is low, just plug it in for a few hours and it's ready to go again. No need to buy and dispose of batteries all the time.

        Compost bin

        This is a 3 layer compost bin. We've been using it for 2 years. You dump your compostables (fruit + vege peels, egg shells, seeds) in the top and it takes care of itself. Months later, flip it over and open the was-bottom-is-now-top layer and it's dirt! Dump in the garden and flip back over for continued use. In the winter it takes longer to turn. We keep it on the roof.

          SOLD: Outdoor Table with Umbrella Set

          These items can be sold together or separately, though I prefer to sell them all together.
          1. Umbrella
          2. Umbrella base
          3. Table
          4. Chairs
          The umbrella fits through the center of the table. Provides protection from rain or sun. Table is square. Surface is smooth, easy to clean and can withstand the elements. Chairs are stackable. Great for a rooftop or porch.

          Pictures
          Table is big enough to have a four person game of Settlers of Catan - lovely for a summer night time activity. Also good for BBQs on the roof - hold the food, plates, snacks, drinks, etc. Surface can easily be sprayed down with a hose or wiped down quickly with a sponge.

          There are 3 chairs stacked on top of each other at the far end of the table. Easy to wipe down - hang large sheets over 2-3 chairs on the roof for quick drying. Good for parties. Chairs are lightweight.

          The umbrella has a pulley system to get the umbrella to open. The string can be wrapped around the base to stay open. The peg for the pole is gone but you can easily replace that.


          This is the metal base for the umbrella. Heavy so it won't be blown over. Umbrella fits in for standalone feature to provide shade protection.
