Homemade Pesto




How is your summer garden?

My basils have been doing very well.
I made pesto with basil leaves harvested from my garden twice so far.
They were so yummy!

The recipe is as follows:
4 cups of basil leaves.
1 cup Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup walnut
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup olive oil.

Hope you can get a chance to taste fresh pesto, too!

Specially Designed Bunk Bed




In my recent trip to Japan, I saw cleaver ways to utilize small spaces. This is one of the idea I came across.

(1) The Benefit of The Specially Designed Bunk Bed
In a case two persons have to share a room with a bunk bed, this specially designed bunk bed will be set in the middle of the room instead of against the wall in order to divide the one room into two small areas. This will give the two occupants more a sense of privacy.

(2) The design of The Bunk Bed
The lower bed will have a wooden sliding 3 (or any numbers work well)panels door on one side and will be open the other.
The top bed will have the same configuration except the sliding panels door on the opposite side as compared to the lower bed.

(3) When one moves out of the room, the bed can be pushed against the wall and the top bed can be used as a storage.

I hope you find this idea interesting!
