Roomie Tales : Lady Satin Pillowcases

Image
Once in a while, a food blogger has to let go of her spoon, fork and chopsticks and to start getting domesticated outside the kitchen (and the dining room). A few months ago, the sweet lady behind Lady Satin sent me a box of white pillowcases for Paul and I to try. I honestly really didn't think much about it as I thought it was just one of those pillowcases found in any home store. It took us a while to use it as initially kept it in our storage box and waited for the right time to open it. Well, the right time came recently when we moved to our new home  and I figured that it would be nice to start using some of our new bedroom linens as well. On our first night here, I was surprised at how good it felt on my face. I grew up using cotton pillowcases and it was only when I began using these satin pillowcases that I realized how much better these are compared to the ones I've been using for the past 30 years of my life!

Going "O, Wow!" with Oishi!

Look what greeted me the moment I stepped into our house the morning that I arrived from Beijing, China ! It was a six-foot tall box that simply has the phrase "O, Wow!" in front. Our helpers were so excited as they have been wondering for days what was inside. As you open the tiny square hole, this apparently is the magical access to close to a hundred of Oishi assorted snacks! From my favorite Kirei to Pillows; to what most 80s kids love munching on, the Prawn Crackers, to the new Baked Potato Fries and a lot more! Everyone in the house excitedly sorted out the bags of chips as Paul and I packed them into tiny plastics to share with my in laws (especially the two kids) , my grandparents and of course to my ever reliable helpers, driver and our beloved Manang. This truly placed everyone in a happy mood as they all exclaimed "o(h), wow!" as they got their bags of Oishi goodies!
