It’s Time For Gardening!
Gardening is something I love and loathe at the same time. I loathe it because I don’t even really have a garden. I just have a terrace garden, an urban garden, call it what you will. That means there obviously isn’t much room for gardening. Little space and plants growing in pots sadly means that…

Knotty Gloves (WIP) & Vegetarian Cooking
The Knotty Gloves are my newest knitting project. I started it after I was quite motivated by the knitting routine I established with my uncle’s socks. They’ll be a present as well, as Phil’s mother has her birthday at the end of February and I’ve been thinking of making her something for a while. She’s…

Making Vegetable Stock Yourself
I’ve started making vegetable stock myself. Well, it’s more of a vegetable paste that you can use as stock! I got the recipe from Utopia, but since it’s in German I thought I’d show you how to do it. I slightly adapted the recipe by using lovage instead of garden cress and shallots instead of…

Did I mention I’m still excited over our kitchen?
It’s probably silly how excited I am over our little kitchen, but this is the first time I’ve actually owned a kitchen! And could (co-)decide how it was going to look and which appliance is going to be put in where and all that grown-up stuff! After we moved into our apartment last year, we…

Fried Grated Potatoes and Carrots with Herbed Quark
[I added the Quiche Lorraine recipe I used to my entry about it. It’s really quite good, you should try it.] My Grandma had reason to be proud today (even though that in itself is a very questionable argument, considering she subsists on spinach with the consistency of cow dung) (sorry for that picture): I…
