Our vegetable produces abundant zucchini this year. My husband mentioned that one of his co-workers has made breads using zucchini. So, I googled. I found Paula Deen’s Zucchini Bread recipe. It turned out great! The only thing I did differently is using less sugar (I use 2.5 cups, instead of 3 cups).

Even after living in the US for almost 10 years by now, there are still a lot things that we haven’t tried and we still don’t know about this culture. Everyday I learn something new, and I like it!

One thing I’ve learned after becoming a homeowner is that houses settle. Inevitably, there will be cracks on walls, and no surprise, we have a few cracks on our walls. I’ve been staring at this huge crack on our front bedroom wall for over a year. Finally, I fixed it. It is actually quite easy to fix drywall cracks by yourself if you don’t mind cleaning up the dust and mess afterward. I found this helpful Patching Drywall Tutorial here.

One crack done, and 16 loose nail heads to go!

A friend sent me this youtube video, and I think this is such a cool and creative idea, turning office papers into toilet papers.
