In my on-going quest to become a more organized person, I've found that if everything has a home- sometimes a home within a home- it saves me time and eliminates the majority of the stress clutter creates. To bring this concept into my cabinets, I've placed small baskets on each shelf and organized them by food types. Baking ingredients are in their own baskets, then there are spices, grains, pasta, etc.
Take everything out of the cabinets and set it out on a table or counter so you can see it all.
Sort everything so that like items are together.
Throw away anything that is expired (those spices you've had for 5 years have to go) or too stale to use.
Wipe down the shelves in the cabinet.
Put your items into baskets that are easy to pull off the shelves (not too heavy and not too big- I found mine at Target). Group like items in the same basket (if you use more than one basket for a specific category of ingredients make sure to keep them on the same shelf).
Put the most used (and preferably the healthiest) items on the bottom shelf and the least used at the top of the cabinet. Try to minimize the amount of stuff you place in the way back where you can't see it. The more visibility the better!
Place a small notepad and a pen in the cabinet or attach to the cabinet door. When you run out of a pantry staple, write it down so you have a list ready when you go grocery shopping.
If you want to get SUPER detailed, you can write the names of spices or other ingredients that sit below the top of the baskets. Use a Sharpie and write the name on the lids so they are visible without removing every item from the basket.
And that's it! It took me about an hour and a half to organize my cabinets. It sounds like a lot of time, but in the end it is saving me tons of time and money to have a more organized system in place. I still have more corners of my kitchen that need work, but this was a great place to start!
What are your favorite organizational tips? Or, what is your most difficult place to organize in your house?

"Reality and Me" by Gretchen Huntley with photographs by Sam Battams
By: Susan W. Smith
Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2020
It started with a phone call from a name I recognized, Gretchen Huntley, but someone whom I had never met. I asked what Gretchen did to keep herself busy during COVID-19 and life in general, and the answer has led me on a lovely path of discovery.

Don't Cry For Me
I remember the summers now long gone
When I stood proud and oh so strong
I'd get so excited when the families arrived
They'd show up in bunches of four and five
I could smell the smoke from the fire pit
Hotdogs roasting on an old broken stick
Kids skinny dipping when nighttime came
Or curled up on the porch hiding from the rain
Oh summer days were like heaven to me
I'd start to feel sad when fall leaves I'd see
But I told myself to think about spring
My family would return and my heart would sing
But one year they didn't return at all
I waited patiently and then it was fall
The next year they didn't return again
I knew in my heart it was the end
Now if you pass the island you will see
A broken down boathouse, yes, that's me
But I'm not alone I've been blessed with a friend
My reflection keeps me company and will to the end
By Gretchen Huntley
By now, you know that I love small-world stories plus, I never have enough books about the Thousand Islands. At the end of my call, I had a beautiful book of poetry and reconnected with a family that had played an enormous role in my life!
Gretchen writes poetry and recently published a small book of poems, many of which are about our River. "Reality and Me" is illustrated by some of the region's most spectacular photographs. It is a small book measuring 8.5" by 5.5", and stapled in a softcover. I found my copy at the Pharmsave store in Gananoque. It was $5 and came with a brown envelope so you can mail it to a friend. Unique? Yes!
When Gretchen told me about the photographer, I got excited. You see, Gananoque's Sam Battams is the son of my best friends Marion and Doug Battams, both of whom died several years ago. Suddenly, all the great memories of years gone by were front and center again. But enough about this editor's excitement, let's meet the author and the photographer!
Meet Gretchen Huntley!
Gretchen started writing birthday rhymes for the staff of the insurance agency where she worked. She thought it was just fun. But sadly, she said, "When my son was fighting his 22-year battle with cancer, there were so many ups and downs that I turned to rhyme as a source of coping with the hurt, frustration, and pain." After he died at the age of 44, Gretchen wrote a book called, "He Was Here" and enclosed a few poems in the book. She then discovered that poetry had become her friend, and it was her favourite way to write.
What inspired her to write Realty and Me? Like so many, she struggled with the isolation of COVID and kept seeing Sam's photographs on Facebook; they seemed to speak to her. Sam was a high school friend of Gretchen's daughter, so contacting him with her request was easy. Could she put her words to his photographs? The answer: "Yes."
I asked if ideas came to her quickly, or did they take a long time to compose, and like many poets, she says, "When I have an idea for a poem, I sit down immediately and type a rough draft. Then I go back. Sometimes I will finish a poem in ten or fifteen minutes and it is fine; other times, I will rewrite it over and over again until it feels right."

Talking Leaves
I walk the road slowly on this fall day
Leaves are scattered everywhere
I stop for a moment and pick up a few
Studying each one with care
Each leaf tells me a story
I relive a memory
I stop once more and pick up another
Remembering how things used to be
Some of the leaves are crumpled
While others are golden and bright
I drop the leaves once more to the ground
Soon I will be out of sight
But I will draw comfort in knowing
I've left my story behind
Every year when autumn comes
These leaves my loved ones will find
By now I will have disappeared
Around that final bend
But because I've left my memories
My life will never end
Meet photographer, Sam Battams
In the 1980s, Sam Battams learned photography using 35mm photography, as film faded out, and digital photography took over, Sam waited until the image quality improved, and he could afford it. The passion, he admits is his desire to improve with every image.
When I said photography looks easy but it is not, Sam agreed. He told that me his love of photography has taught him to be disciplined. He says, "Modern digital becomes easier as technology improves; however, if you don't have the eye for the shot, you are beat before you start. The bottom line is, basically the camera isn't the most important part of it; it is to have the eye, the timing and the light to get the proper result.
About six years ago, friends and family started requesting copies of his work on Facebook, and he soon started selling prints.
I asked Sam for advice, and he kindly gave me four points: 1- Learn your camera, ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, and how all three work with each other. 2- Decide what type of photography you are going to do, be it wildlife, portrait, etc. 3- Buy the proper equipment for the type of photography you have chosen, and 4- Research and watch what the pros do.
Sam Battams has photographed across North America, but he says emphatically "morning reflections in the Thousand Islands are hard to beat."

I conclude with some of my own advice: return all phone calls since you never know what discoveries you will make, and be sure to purchase Reality and Me, you will thank me over and over!

When it comes to Dim Sum in Ipoh town, most of the people will head over to Foh San Dim Sum Restaurant. However, over the years, it was mentioned that the quality of food and service not as good as it used to be. So, if you happen to be in Ipoh and want to look for alternative, Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum is the perfect place to go.
Dim Sum, a traditional Chinese cuisines, is prepared in a small bite-sized portion served in a small steamer baskets. It's usually served over tea and together, it form a full tea brunch in Chinese style.
Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum is located in Ipoh town, Jalan Leong Sin Nam. It's located in the same row as per Foh San Dim Sum Restaurant, just a few lots down.
If you think that because this is an alternative and not many people will be in, then you're wrong! It's jam packed with people during the peak hours in the morning and brunch time.
You might even have to queue, if you arrived any time late. 1 thing to note is that the parking there can be quite cumbersome, as a lot of travel buses will make a stop there, and also plenty of locals will be there.
What to order in Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum?
Well, there isn't any really specified to be order as 1 of the good thing about Dim Sum is that you get to pick what you want to eat. For a start, you may visit the counter upfront to see what's available.
You can see all the freshly fried dim sum varieties available to choose from.
And plenty of varieties from the steamer to choose from. Siu Mai (Pork Dumplings) & Har Gao (Prawn Dumplings) will serves as a good start to your order.
Other than that, you may want to try their Loh Mai Kai (Steamed Chicken Glutinous Rice). It's made from glutinous rice, so it's sticky and chewy, together with the sauce, it taste sweet & savoury. Definitely worth a try!
Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum also serves pretty good Egg Tart. If you didn't know, the egg is custard-like and if it's fresh, the egg custard will melt in your mouth, leaving a fragrant egg taste.
Price Range: It's about RM6 per basket of dim sum, depending on what you order.
How to get there: I will suggest that you grab a taxi to head over, as the parking there can be quite a hassle. Here's the Google Map link. And if you would like to know more about Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum, here's their Facebook.
Catch on some of my Recent Post on Ipoh food such as the famous chicken rice at Ong Kee or perhaps the best Tau Fuh Fah at Woong Kee.
