They're All Grounded to Bits

Last Saturday, we made the filling for shanghai lumpia and siomai. The hard part in preparing this dish is the chopping and mincing the carrots, garlic and onions. But now, I use this mini chopper to do it.  Here are the photos of the ingredients grounded to bits in just 1 push of a button at my mini-grinder. That is the Black & Decker SC-5000.

For your viewing pleasure:

When we cook this dish before, it used to take us all eternity and our efforts to chop up all of these ingredients.  There are times that we lessen some onions and garlic just to save us some chopping.  But now, just push the button for a few seconds and  hwallaaa....  you're done.

If you're into dishes that involves chopping and mincing, I would suggest you get one too.... 

Black & Decker SC-5000 Super Chopper

I bought this Black & Decker SC-5000, SC means super chopper, just few days ago, 28th December.  This is used to chop (mince) garlic and onions for spring roll stuffed with ground pork (shanghai lumpia).

Last night I used for the first time and I was very pleased with the chopped onions and garlic.  I even used it chop carrots and kinchay.  The spices are finely chopped and it only took me seconds to chop and mince them all at one touch of a button.

It is also easy to clean.  Just wash the cup, lid and the blade.  As for the base, just wipe it clean.

Overall, I so so so love this chopper!!!

Free Calls to US & Canada with Google Voice

When I was checking my mails in Gmail, I saw this little green phone icon where you can find the list of your chat contacts.  This phone icon is labeled as "Call Phone".  Out of curiosity, I clicked this icon.  A dial pad popped out and a message prompting you to "download the voice plug-in".

It turns out this is a Google's new feature that allows you to make FREE calls to US and Canada.
You can also make international calls to other countries with minimal charge.

I haven't tried this yet, but if this really works and is FREE, then what are you waiting for?
