Notes

Baking & Cooking

Pizza Margharita
Pizza is a favorite in our house, so I was glad to see them appear in one of Martha's posts. For me especially the ones made on flat bread are a big hit: ready in ten minutes. Just smear the tomatoes on the bread,  sprinkle cheese over it and put them in the oven until the cheese has melted.


 Snack Mix
I've made this several times now and every time I'm amazed about the great taste of a home made snack mix!


Pineapple Ginger Smoothie
I love fresh ginger, so this sounded as a perfect smoothie for me, except that the recipe asks for yoghurt. I don't know, something ginger and something sour didn't sound right for me, so instead of yoghurt I used milk. Delicioso!


Blueberry Cheesecake
The recipe was for a normal loaf cake with cheesecake blueberry swirl on top, but when the cake came out of the oven, the cheese went down to the bottom of the cake, so it didn't look cheery at all, like it did in the picture. Have to think about something else as a teacher appreciation gift. 

Buying

Gertie's Sew Along Pattern
Do you know Gertie Hirsch? She designs and sews vintage looking clothing and just started a sew along on her blog. I haven't sewed anything for a long time and thought this would be the best moment to get my sewing machine from underneath the dust to make this gorgeous dress! I started with ordering the pattern, but am still thinking about the fabric I want to use. I hesitate between chocolate brown or dark blue.

What's This Blog About

For years I received e-mails from Martha Stewart in my inbox (no personal mails of course, just the mails everybody can subscribe to) but never did anything with them. Most of the time they were deleted the moment they came in. I don't even remember why I ever subscribed to them, I think because of the craft ideas that comes with them sometimes.  Since a couple of weeks though, I actually open and read the mails and use the tips and tricks that I can use. Especially the cleaning tips, because like most people (but this is just a wild guess, of course) I rather do funnier things than cleaning my house all the time.  What I do is making a list of all the tips and tricks in the Martha Stewart mails for one week, so they can be done in the following week. I bought a notebook especially for this purpose. The great thing about lists is that I can check off the things that are done. And man, does it feel good to see the list becoming shorter and shorter each week.  ...
