I used a homemade fudgy brownie for the base. I used some homemade baklava ice cream and the torched the meringue to finish it off. My memories of the 1970's and The Galloping Gourmet Mr. Graham Kerr.

With winters ringing in, soups are going to be a staple in my house. To make the base of my soups easily accessible, I make a big batch of stock and keep using it for my recipes. Here is how to make Best Vegetable Stock which is made by boiling a motley of veggies like celery, carrots, spring onion greens, garlic, capsicum et al in water along with olive oil and a few spices.
My self made camera bag! :D
Please forgive me for the quality of the picture, it's taken with my phone.
Materials:
-Foam
Some stores specialized in refitting furniture also sell just the foam. They have it in different thickness and can cut you the quantity you need. I bought a piece of 33inches (80cm) for 7£, but honestly, I didn't use half of it for a bag of that size. With 4/5£ worth of foam you should have enough.
If you don't know where to find such a place in your town, go to a fabric store and ask them, they should know (they'll be even more willing to help you if you buy them the fabric you need).
Replacing it with Bubble wrap just DOESN'T WORK (it's not protecting enough and it doesn't last), and it's not that much cheaper.
- Fabric
Something simple, cotton preferably. Avoid anything like fur, velvet and suede, they'll attract dust. Pick something light enough to allow you to find your gear easily.
- Cardboard
You want it thin but strong and light. I went to Spar and asked them if they didn't have some pieces of boxes they were about to bin.
Then you need thread, needles, ducktape, double faced tape, velcro, and if wanna go quicker, fabric glue.
Oh, and of course a bag lol. I picked mine for 9£ at the Eagle Market. It's probably not gonna last forever, but I can still take the insert out and put it in another bag.
First of all, take mesurement and draw how you wanna put your gear in.
With the cardboard and tape, I formed a box to fit inside the bag. It was quite tricky to put it in, I had to fold the bottom inside to be able to twist it, then once inside I taped the bottom back.

Then I cutted out pieces of foam to cover each side of the box and wrapped it in fabric.
I sewed the fabric around then reversed it and closed the last side with ducktape.

TIP: If you don't have a sewing machine, then don't bother with sewing the "walls" of the box, you won't be able to see the face stuck to the box anyway, so just do everything with ducktape, you'll save hours!
Stick them to the cardboard with the double faced tape.
Then I wrapped more foam with fabric to do the compartements dividers.

Adhesive velcro becomes very handy when you don't have a machine. Mine weren't so it too me ages to put them on. Multipurpose Power Pritt glue can work, but make sure you wait long enough before using them (1 to 2 hours).
Stuck the other bit of the velcro inside the main "box" and then put the dividers in place.
Then I only used more bits of foam, fabric and tape to fill the spaces.
One of the lenses is under another one which doesn't make it very handy, but I really don't use it often so in case I need it I'll have time to get it.
This bag will just work perfectly for me I think.
It's not waterproof I think but I'll make sure I buy a rain cover and carry it in the bag at all times.
There is some pockets in the front, very handy for accessories.
The whole thing is rather light as well, which is very good considering my back problems.
Hope my experience will help some. It can work in a lot of different shapes, bags. Just adapt it to your own gear (it can be changed and rearrange when you upgrade.... many expensive camera bags can't).

A homemade creation of my dear chef sister :)
I sprinkled some of the rainbow crumbs on the white icing for an added touch!
A skillful homemade two seater sports car built by Mr. Schirdewahn from Northern Germany. First the car was powered by a 350cc MAG engine and later by a 400cc ILO engine. The appearance of the car changed a bit in the course of time (see below).

I'm baking my way through Peter Reinhart's book, The Bread Baker's Apprentice. This bread is so good and simple to make, I've decided I'm going to try to make a loaf every week instead of buying bread at the grocery store.

We are headed home today after spending a week in the beautiful hills and mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky. My favorite keeper "treasure" I found on the yardsale route is this homemade tambourine made using an old pie pan and old bottlecaps. I consider this a treasure because it represents a time when you made do with what you had. I asked the person I bought it from if she knew the backstory of it but she did not. So like me, you can use your imagination to create one.

With all the garden centres closed, and my love of gardening rekindled with the time I've had, nothing better than planting my own seeds and growing my own food.
