Hydroponic Project – Update 5 [HELP PLEASE]

Not so much of a green-thumb I am, two of the plants are dead now 😥 and I am left with only one of the chilli plant now. Hopefully, this one will grow strong 🙂

The shallots were showing good growth before and somehow one day it just turned dead, I suspect it because I left them all in the balcony and we had a day of very strong wind here in Sydney which might have pulled the root off the perlite. Whereas my other chilli plant somehow just dried up and withered, still unsure why that happens, there are still plenty of nutrients mix in the bottle. Anyone can help with guidance is very much appreciated.

And yes, it is quite touristy and prices are relatively more expensive now; but it is an experience if you are happened to be in Bali. As you may have seen on my previous posts about what we ate in Bali here and here, we always stopped by Jimbaran whenever we are in Bali and had enjoyed it.

Easy Peasy Donut Balls

donut ballsIt is called easy peasy for a reason: you can whip up these little snacks only in one hour include preparation and cooking time, and there is no need to knead the dough to the elastic stage. Do notice that because of no kneading phase, the dough will be very soft and you will not be able to shape them like the normal donuts with hole in the middle, hence they are shaped in balls using two oiled spoons and drop directly to deep fryer. The ingredients for this recipe are simple as well, just your usual pantry staples.
