This is an amazing whipped body butter I made. I use it for washing my face and for all-over moisture. Smells delicious, like a chocolate mint cookie! If you don't like delicious smells or smooth skin, I feel sorry for you.
I made up too much so I thought I'd make a quick papercraft and send it out to my peeps. You can order it through my little website for the time being.
Pizza with a homemade crust and sauce recipe inspired by Jane Doerfer's "Going Solo in the Kitchen."
Crust:
Mix 3 tbsp of warm water, 3 tbsp of milk, 1 1/4 tsp of yeast, and 1/2 tsp of honey. Let sit for a few minutes, then add:
- 3/4 cup of bread flour
- 1/2 tsp. of salt
- 1 tbsp of oil
- 2 tbsp of corn meal
Knead for 5 minutes on a floured surface, let rise for 30 minutes, punch down, let sit for 5 more minutes, then roll out on a corn meal covered tray.
Sauce:
1 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes
2 tbsp of oil
Assorted spices
Heat in a saucepan over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring often. Turn down heat and mix in other stuff. I added minced garlic, salt, pepper and paprika.
Let cool slightly, then spread on pizza dough, along with any veggies. Let bake in the oven at 425F for 10 minutes, add cheese/meats (so they don't burn from too much exposure), then put back in oven for 5 minutes.
In a fit of crazy domesticity last night, I took the remains of our roasted chicken we had for dinner and added carrots, onion, celery and parsley and set it on the stove with about 6 quarts of water. After bringing to a boil, I took it down to a low simmer for about 4 hours. Presto - chicken stock! After quickly straining all of the solids from the stock, I set the stock into a variety of containers for freezing. Ziploc bags in 4 cup and 2 cup quantities - 4 cup for a family soup dinner, 2 cup for an afternoon soup snack for Michael; and two trays of cubed stock for stir-fries and other recipes calling for more flavor. I had received a good tip online, freeze the stock inside the bags in square containers and they will stack well once frozen and the containers are removed. Love it - come on winter, you don't scare me!

A bit of brazing, a bit of MIG welding, one tangent whilst I made a clamp to make the lamp, some spray paint and a ball of wool. Result: awesome lamp.
(it's a clone of another lamp we already have, but it's ten times more awesome)
The bicycle culture in our town is so palpable, it's hard to avoid. Our neighbor on one side is a 17-year veteran mechanic at one of the area's most renowned bike shops. Our neighbor on the other side builds homemade bicycle trailers out of steel tubing and recycled wheels. They can be seen all over the 'ville. Here we are demoing the trailer in the 'hood. Seems to handle 100 lb of cargo with aplomb!
Please, no helmet comments. This was a demo on a street free of traffic.
Homemade jiaozi. Well, I bought the wrappers ready made, filled them with a pork-shrimp-spring-onion mixture. Served with Yin Yin Sauce,

This is an opium knife that I made a couple of years ago, after toying around with a few more complicated ideas I settled with this simple one, three Fatmax Stanley blades taped together with thin card used for spacers, I tried a combination of six blades and four blades, but found three to be more than ample for the job.
Note: not all Papaver somniferum varieties will bleed well, I have found that plants with a large amount of pods, will not produce a single drop of opium if scored, also some of the pharmaceutical types, these poppies are breed for the use of their straw, which goes through a process which extracts the alkaloids, these types of poppies hold a fantastic amount of opium in the dried pods which can be extracted.
I made homemade yogurt for the first time! I was so excited to find that it had set this morning.
Only 8 hours in the oven and it was pretty set on top, and the whey was already separating, so I decided to play it safe and put it in the fridge. I think I will drain it once it thickens up a bit. If possible next time I will let it culture for more hours.

I am in love with this. When I had cashew chicken at a Thai place the other day I decided I have to learn to make it myself. This tasted just like the restaurant version. Love it.
Sauce Recipe:
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 T soy sauce
2 T teriyaki sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 T Chili Garlic Sauce(for three star)
1 T Cornstarch mixed with 1 T water
Pepper to taste
Add ingredients to sauce pan and boil for one minute.
Use this sauce to marinate boneless skinless chicken, to sautee/stir-fry vegetables and to pour on white rice.
Start with
1 eggyolk
1 t mustard
pinch of salt & pepper
Everybody always says Dijon mustard, but I don't like Dijon so I used some honey-mustard instead.
Then whisk in 150 ml peanut/arachis oil. Starting with a few drops, whisk vigorously until it not only blends, but also thickens. Then add a little bit more oil, whisk, add more until after a while you're confident enought to add the rest of the oil in a little, steady stream.
When all the oil is blended in, add a teaspoon of ricewine vinegar or some lemonjuice.
And today I noticed it is really, really vital all ingredients are at roomtemperature. My kitchen was too cold, so my first batch failed. :( Luckily when I started again, with a new eggyolk I could wisk in the "failed/runny mayo" and still come out with an acceptable mayonnaise.
Never, really never use olive oil. I've tried that once and it was really disgusting.
Pulley arrangement. Mower has had some use so it has lost its showroom look. Height adjustment of deck by changing front wheels individually and backside by one movement for both wheels. I usually just move the back which changes it enough.

In my continuing quest to make homemade pizza that taste like restaurant pizza, I came across this recipe for Pizza Hut pizza. Many of the people who left comments said that though they were skeptical, the pizza really did smell and taste like Pizza Hut. So I tried it myself.
Close, but no cigar—due to my own fault. I didn't let the dough rise enough, resulting in a dense crush, and misjudge how much dough I needed, resulting in a very, very thick crust.
But the pizza smelled like pizza hut, and every once in a bite, when I chomped into a thinner part of the crust, it did taste like Pizza Hut pizza. I think I will try this again, letting the dough rise completely and using much less.
Hopefully I meet my goal of the perfect homemade pizza. Then I can get to work customizing it to my own tastes. Who knows, maybe someday I'll sell my recipe to some investor looking to open a new pizza franchise. Just kidding!
Or am I?
This is my homemade softbox that I constucted out of a cardboard box, toliet paper, construction paper, and tape. Yay!
Suzy and I made these raviolis from scratch, filled with homemade ricotta and topped with some homemade sauce. YUM!
I used my homemade white bread for these garlic bread chips and they turned out really good. This bread would of been good for making croutons too.
