🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Garburator
In Canada, that noisy machine under the kitchen sink that grinds up food scraps is called a 'garburator.' In the US and elsewhere, it's typically known as a 'garbage disposal.' The term 'Garburator' was originally a brand name for a unit made by General Electric, but like 'Kleenex' or 'Zamboni,' it became the common term for the device itself across the country. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Invention

#WordOfTheDay : Bokashi
#Bokashi is the Japanese name for a fermentation process that converts food waste into healthy soil for the garden and liquid that can be used (in diluted form) as a power food for plants.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to make their own #compost, and you happen to have children (the kind of #human that leaves a lot of food waste), bokashi may be recommended for you!
#mrsCleyton would have had no idea how to use bokashi.
