By Danielle, on May 25th, 2012 One of the things that always interests me about food blogs is the setting. I wonder what lies beyond the pictures, which are often cropped down to just the food…what do the kitchens look like that create these wonderful foods…what kind of equipment does the cook use…where does the cook store things in the kitchen?
I live in Hong Kong in a flat provided by my employer so we have a little more space than the typical Hong Kong flat. But we didn’t get to choose the place and we can’t do any renovations so we’re working with the kitchen . . .

I found this simple recipe for making your own hand sanitizer. It looks easy and uses everyday ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup of aloe Vera gel
- 2/3 cup of 99% rubbing alcohol
- 8-10 drops of essential oil (such as vanilla, lavender, grapefruit, peppermint, etc.)
- One small mixing bowl and spoon
- Recycled liquid soap bottle
- Funnel
Directions
Measure all ingredients into a bowl and stir. Use a funnel to transfer the mixture into a recycled soap bottle.

Ever the charmer, Frank sent me this helpful list of plants that make your house smell nice. Or nicer.
1. Lavender (above)
2. Scented Geranium
