Homemade Aquatint Box
By Russ Morris
1. Find a cardboard box that will accommodate the size of the plates you're planning to use. It's better to use a box that's at least twice as big as the plate is you're using.
2. Seal it up with packing tape. It's a good idea to seal all around the box to better contain the rosin.
3. Make a trap door on the side of the box. Cut three sides (left, top, right ) of a rectangle into the side with the most surface. Score the bottom and fold it inwards, then out towards you. This opening will need to be large enough to put your plate through.
4. Make a simple handle. Poke a small hole near the top of the trap door. Loop a piece of string and pull it through the small hole from outside to in - tie a knot inside. Tape it down.
5. Make a support for your plate. Find a piece of corrugated board that's the same width as the box, but two or three times the length. Fold it zig-zag along the width, making the folds a little bit taller than the space between the bottom of the trap door and the bottom of the box. Place it in the bottom of the box.
6. Put a bunch of rosin in the box. Close the trap door.
7. Shake the box. Put it on a table and open the trap door.
8. Place your plate in the box and close the trap door. Leave it alone until the little dust storm subsides. Carefully remove your plate by reaching in the box and easing your fingers under the zig-zag support and pulling your plate towards the trap door opening. *Remove the plate while being careful not to touch the top!
9. Is the dusting not thick enough? Repeat steps 7 & 8 until it is.
*NOTE: You might want to make an equivalent to the zig-zag support for outside of the box to rest the plate on.
The only photo taken by SO cuz I was placing the finishing touches on the dishes. Honestly, it tasted better than it looks :).
One of my favorite holiday baking treats is homemade marshmallows. Believe it or not they are very easy. I use a recipe from the Martha Stewart website. If you haven't tried them you should. I was also trying out some rounded corners in photoshop and I used Pioneer Woman's define and sharpen action. This picture was taken with my new 100mm macro lens. It's got great depth of field with the 2.8 aperture. I had the camera on a tripod using natural light in my livingroom on our early 1960's black vinyl sofa as the background. Fun on a Sat. am nursing a sinus infection. ;)
Homemade dumplings! Jiaozi are a kind of Chinese dumpling, common to China and other parts of East Asia. They have a life as future potstickers.
~° RECETTE °~
Pour 8 buns
Ingrédients
• 170 à 227g d'eau à température ambiante (commencer avec le plus petit volume d'eau et en rajouter si nécessaire)
• 28g de beurre
• 1 gros oeuf
• 418g de farine (T55)
• 50g de sucre
• 1 1/4 cuillère à café de sel
• 1 cuillère à soupe de levure sèche
• du beurre fondu pour le dessus
Préparation
Mélanger tous les ingrédients et pétrir, à la main, ou avec un robot (compter 10-15 minutes à vitesse 1 ou 2), ou avec le programme pâte d'une machine à pain, jusqu'à obtenir une pâte souple et lisse.
La placer dans un saladier (ou laisser dans le bol du robot), couvrir avec un linge, et laisser lever 1 à 2 heures, la pâte doit doubler de volume.
Sur un plan de travail, dégazer la pâte, puis la couper en 8 parts. Former des boules en repliant la pâte dessous (si la pâte colle trop, utiliser un peu de farine). Les placer sur une lèche-frite recouverte de papier cuisson, les aplatir légèrement pour obtenir des disques de 10 cm de diamètre environ, recouvrir avec un linge et laisser gonfler environ 1 heure.
Préchauffer le four à 190° C.
Pendant ce temps, 2 choix possibles sont offerts à ces petits buns :
- soit appliquer un peu de beurre fondu sur le dessus à l'aide d'un pinceau
- soit, si on désire ajouter des graines de sésame (ou autres), mélanger un blanc d'oeuf et 2 cuillères à soupe d'eau, et le badigeonner sur le dessus des pains, puis recouvrir avec les graines.
Enfourner 15 à 18 minutes, jusqu'à ce que les buns soient joliment dorés. Les sortir du four et appliquer sur le dessus, à l'aide du pinceau, le reste de beurre fondu, puis laisser refroidir sur une grille.
Enjoy!
Very sweet. I really enjoyed the flavour of this stew. I used 3 cuts of lamb - one was from Savenor's (a leg), the rest were lower quality/price from McKinnon's and were bones/shoulder cuts. I thought the leg was too lean, even though the butcher suggested it would be a comparable cut. I was a bit worried, but since I didn't have time to let the fat solidify overnight and skim, I thought I would go with the leaner leg this time.

This is a folding kayak cart made from an old golf bag cart. Some of the details on this, and on few other DIY kayak and canoe carts, are at my blog.
Although I understand why someone might want to obtain a thing of such beauty, I'm afraid it isn't for sale.
(May 22: the cart's been remodeled for the second time since this photo was taken, and now it's starting to look like a tiny boat trailer.)
The one on the left is powder -baking soda with essential oil, and the one on the right is made by infusing citrus peels in white vinegar for about 2 weeks -as you can see, my is ready to strain -peels are starting kind of to decompose in a way.
And for tougher stains you can combine both on the spot -then they will react to each other and work stronger. Recipes:
Baking soda cleaner
Put baking soda in the container with shaker holes -cheese or larger spice containers work well. Add a few drops of essential oil. Good for sinks and tubs, and toilets.
Citrus vinegar cleaner
Put citrus peels in white vinegar, and leave it for 2 weeks. Shake occasionally. Then strain and pour into spray bottle. Works well for counters, tubs, toilets, sinks, and floors. Plain white vinegar with water works for glass.
Here's the rough guide: cook the bacon in the brownie pans in the oven and use some of the grease to coat the pans; put the rest of the grease in the brownie batter (to taste); make the brownie batter any way you like - i used a recipe from AllRecipes - allrecipes.com//Recipe/Quick-and-Easy-Brownies/Detail.aspx ; layer the bacon-grased pan with brownie batter, then a layer of bacon, then top with remaining batter; cook extra bacon and grind in food processor to make homemade bacon bits; sprinkle bits on top 5-10 minutes before brownies are done; enjoy.
Hat tip Mike Fisher for the recipe.

I bought the Canon 85mm f1.8 last week. Terrific bokeh! I was worried that the focal length on my XTi would be too narrow because it's not full frame, but was pleasantly surprise by how useful it's been in the past few days alone. Definitely a keeper for me.
Pretzel recipe on my blog.
GSU343 is an OOC Bova Futura that I have reliveried using homemade water slide transfers. The larger back transfer that overlaps the rubbing strip was cut lengthwise and fitted as two parts. The transfers around the front wheelarch will need to wait until I get some Microsol to soften the decals and mould them around the wheelarch profile.
XIW9161, the Merc, has had gold striping applied to the blue skirt (which the flash has darkened), waterslide fleetnames and two handpainted blue slashes on the side. Handpainting liveries is not my strongpoint, and is the part of the livery I am least happy with.
start by steaming some salmon ends. we did one with teriyaki sauce, one with mayo, and one plain with vinagar. make japanese-style rice (wash the rice less than usual, so it's starchier). Create balls of rice around fish (work with the rice while it's hot as possible), then wrap in nori. If you want to save some for later, freeze the rice without the nori, then microwave when ready and wrap in nori at the last minute.
This custom made clothes rod allows the clothes to hang behind the back of the front seat. GM's placement of a 1" long clothes hook in the roof causes the clothes to bunch up all over the rear seat and block the rear window, which is not good.
Material: Red Oak Lumber, Minwax Dark Walnut Stain, Rustoleum Gloss Black.
The rod for the headrest post goes through the mounting block which has four, #10 Cabinet screws securing the black bar to the base block. A 1960's, metal fuel line bracket clamps around the right-hand headrest post and is bolted to an aluminum bar which is anchored to the bottom of the base block to prevent swiveling.
The clothes rod itself is a piece of red oak handrail, which has a flat surface on one side. This is the second car I have used this style of clothes rod in.

My grandfather built this scooter for my mom around 1940 or so in Clinton, IN. She often talked about it but I had never seen it until going through some of her old photos after she passed.
