Brezplačni nasveti vajenke gospodinjske boginje III

Nadaljujem objavo I in objavo II gospodinjske boginje. Nasvet št. III: ko daš kuhat jajca, so trda zagotovo veliko prej kakor takrat, ko v kozički ni več vode, je rjavo zapečena in se po hiši širijo nenavadne vonjave. (Čeprav je videt, da bodo kljub temu užitna, samo ena rjava pikica je na beljaku in malo zelenkast rumenjak.)

A free cooking advice from an apprentice cooking goddess (cooking goddess advice I and advice II): when you make hard-boiled eggs there’s no need to wait that all the water evaporates and that a curious whiff travels through the house. (Even if they still look edible.)

AJ (42)

Tokratni strani nista nič posebnega, samo da sem kot inspiracijo vzela Crusade No. 42 – Strip Ease. Brez razmišljanja, brez posebnih kombinacij, malo presenečena, ker nisem v noben AJ nič packala že cel mesec … če pa delam vse drugo …

As soon as I saw the new Crusade – Strip Ease, I knew that I will make a spread for it. It just took me a while :) It came out different because I didn’t want to overthink it and I wanted to use some paint between the freehand torn strips. And I so badly wanted to include that concert ticket :) It was a great Bajaga concert, just like way back in old times.

Bučke

Včeraj je deževalo in bučke so uživale … Prav paše jim letošnje vroče leto (in obilica deževnice iz vodnega zbiralnika).

Zucchini were clearly enjoying yesterday’s rain. The like the hot year – and lots of collected rain water from our water cistern.

Perlice

Vedno, ko sem videla izvezene take kvadratke, sem si govorila, enkrat moram tudi to poskusiti, v naslednjem stavku, pa sem se zanikala, rekoč, da toliko potrpljenja jaz tako ali tako nimam. No, včeraj je bilo prevroče za počet karkoli (čeprav se mi zdi, da me bo Slovon v kratkem postavil na laž) in sem sedela na kavču in izbirala perlice. 5x5 cm. Zdaj se moram samo še odločiti, na čem bo ta kvadratek pristal!

I tried my hand at some bead-stitching yesterday. It was so hot that I just tried to sit still without doing much with my hands, to tell the truth. We reached app 97 F … Thanks heaven it’s been raining since early this morning, a week of over 95 F is a bit too much even for my Mediterranean soul … This is app. 2x2” and I’m quite pleased with it as I wasn’t sure that I have the much needed patience. Now I have to decide on what to sew it :)

Sugru

Pred par tedni sva se igrala s Sugrujem, pa o tem nisem poročal … Sugru je silikonska masa, ki jo dobiš v gnetljivem stanju (podobna je plastelinu), na zraku pa se v enem dnevu posuši in otrdi, a ostane malo prožna. Glavna finta pa je v tem, da se Sugru prilepi na skoraj vse materiale in je zato odličen za popravila, kjer nič drugega ne deluje. Sugru je na voljo v nekaj barvah, shranjen pa je v majhnih paketkih. Lahko kupiš tudi velike pakunge, a ko je paketek enkrat odprt, je treba Sugru v pol ure porabiti.

Few weeks ago we fixed a water gun with Sugru … Sugru is like modeling clay when you take it from its pack. Once it's exposed to air, it cures to a tough flexible silicone overnight using the moisture in the air. The best thing is that it sticks to most materials and can be used to fix almost anything were a normal glue wouldn’t work.

Popravljala sva vodno puško, ki se ji je odtrgala cevka vodnega zbiralnika.

We were fixing a watergun. The small silicone pipe got detached from the gun.

Sušilo se je čez noč in zjutraj je puška spet veselo brizgala vodo.

We left it to cure overnight and in the morning the Sugru was dry and water gun operational.

Hribi nad barjem

Posneto danes na kolesarskem izletu. Všeč so mi bile plasti hribov.

Picture taken today on a bicycle trip. I liked the hills, distributed in layers.
