I’m not intending for this to become a cooking blog, but I thought I’d share a few recipes I’ve stumbled across lately, to show my appreciation that other people blog about delicious food and well, to share with those of you who like food.

Also, it’s a way for me to remember the links and not lose them among my bookmarks 😉

Chive blossom dressing

Almond meal glutenfree crackers

My absolute favourite for old bananas – it’s in Danish but perhaps you can do a Google translate thingy on it? Add cinnamon or cocoa, oatmeal (they get a bit soggy the day after), glutenfree flour, lots of things work. They may end up a little flatter, but the spicyness of the brown sugar (muscovado?) is awesome.

Kale and strawberries. Now, this sounds lovely, but when are the two ever in season together??!

Massage your kale

I’ve managed to grow a few things in the garden this year, this time I’m starting out slow with a few things instead of trying to plant a whole field of clay at once. So I may in fact become more cooking oriented as time passes. I’d love to study herblore, both for food and medicinal purposes. But that will be in another lifetime or my head will explode.

And finally, I got a lovely recipe for paleo bread at a family gathering on Sunday:

  • 500 g assorted nuts, seeds or gluten free muesli
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 dl oil
  • 2 tsp. salt

Grind nuts as finely or coarsely as you like, perhaps roast them first. Add the rest, bake in bread mold for one hour at 160° C. Tastes good fresh or toasted. And I bet you can add herbs or other spices too. Nigella on top perhaps?

Inspirations 1

I think I’m going to publish a list now and then of random websites that have caught my eye for one reason or another. Mostly I guess pretty art or fibery stuff, but you never know…

Slow Cloth – focus on quality and presence in your craft, not quantity.

Creative Burn-out – A series of posts at Myth & Moor quite relevant to my own musings on procrastination. And she has a cute dog and a wonderful forest to walk in <green with envy>

I’m getting so many ideas to try out that I never got with knitting, that I think I’m heading in the right direction, and it works so well with other picture making crafts, they kinda weave (haha) together for me. And as I mentioned before, this will make my spinning more fun and less production oriented, since I probably won’t be spinning all my weaving yarns just now, just dyeing them. Win/win on time as well as pleasure.

In fact I’m already in the process of making a small frame loom to make (up to) 15×15 cm test samples of warp spacing/yarn type vs. yarn thickness of the weft as well as samples of various techniques. I figure that should keep me occupied for a while.  And that’s what happens when you spend a Sunday indoors watching youtube because all the farmers decide it’s a good day to spread liquid pig manure on the fields. Gag. Not just a whif on the air this time, but massive sensory overload. I’ll probably have to rewash the laundry on the line…

And something a little different (because I wanted to save the link and my bookmarks are out of control)
