Mostly pictures of garden plants, cooking, and crafts.
And finally got to do the last hour or so of stitching today. Still the quickest I've ever made a cross stitch if I count only the time I spent on it. I will definitely be looking into getting more stamped cross stitch kits. 🧶🪡

Finally tried the last of my birthday gifts: a pin loom. I love it! Less than 30 minutes to make this square, and that is while reading the instructions too. I thought I needed thicker yarn, but the look and feel of this single square make me think more of them will make an awesome light scarf! 🪡 🧶

Figured I hadn't eaten anything with potato in ages, so meal prepped some potato things. A sauerkraut oven dish, and two stamppotten: one with carrot and onion and the other with leek and bell pepper. Also sharing my failures and not just succeses: the first batch of sauerkraut burned. 🍽️🍜

Just about an hour of progress today, but I'm getting close! This will definitely be the fasted I've ever finished a cross stitch, even one this small. 🧶🪡

Yesterday's and today's progress on this cross stitch. Only two more colors to go :). It really keeps being fun and not counting goes fast! This took about 3,5 hours. If I had to count, I'd probably be happy to have finished the pot and only one leaf by now. 🧶🪡

Wanted to try a stamped cross stitch, to see what it is like to not have to count. It's fast! This is just 2 hours of progress, almost done with a single color. Daylight is fading fast though, so the rest will have to wait.. 🧶🪡

Wedding party tomorrow, so it was time to make a gift. The crochet lovebirds are sitting on a "nest" of "branches", made of rolled up money bills and wrapped in brown thread. Background is a cutout of the invitation card. 🪡🧶🧵

Fifth: Cooking! While I wanted to try a bunch of new recipes, circumstances happened and made me busy during the second half of my vacation. But I did manage to clear a bit of time still to meal prep, making some simple favorites. 🍜🍽️

Fourth: Gardening. Not a lot of blooming things left, but the Coleus is looking great (both in size and color) this year, I'm really happy with it. It'll be time to get some cuttings soon, with colder weather it'll start dying outside (and I'm not bringing it inside, too many bugs in the soil). 🌱

Third: Some crochet. I finally finished repairing the holes in a blanket, a project that I started over four years ago. I forgot how tedious that could be. 🧶

Party today, so two kinds of cakes baked. Apple crumble on the left, lemoncurd and passion fruit on the right. 🍜🍽️

Baked my first bread this morning. Just a plain white bread from a box mix, there's some room for improvement but it tasted like warm, fresh bread so I'm happy! 😃🍽️🍜

Well, it's been 8 months of gaming (finished the Stardew valley achievements) and reading in the evenings. But yesterday I finally managed to finish that microplastic painting I wanted to finish before the end of 2024 😅

The perennials are doing great too: I planted the knautia and pink scabiosa this year, the magnolia seems ready to bloom a second time (also, something seems to have been snacking on the bud?), and the anaphalis is full of buds despite having a though time through dry/hot weather earlier. 🌱

Besides weeds, there's also quite a few things growing/blooming in the garden right now. The ones below are the result of a flower mix I have sown. The orange flowers are so bright that my camera had a hard time focusing! The flowers seem to be popular with the local insect population as well. 🌱

Such a small garden, such a ridiculous amount of weeds despite the ground covering plants... They just keep growing straight through! 🌱

Food on a plate instead of in a storage container for once. Homemade babi pangang. Nothing like the stuff you get from take out yet still very tasty. Also have at least 5 servings left to go in the freezer..🍽️ 🍜

There's some spare room in the freezer after two weeks of eating meal-prepped dinners. I'll fill it with Dutch babi pangang this weekend, which means I also need a Dutch 'version' of acar to go with it. So, I made a lot of acar today, it's pickling in the fridge right now. 🍽️ 🍜

I grew some food!🌱 🍽️ They're 'pink blueberries' and the picture doesn't do the brightness of the pink (or their awesome sweet taste) justice. It's not much, but there's a bunch more on the plant that aren't ripe yet. I guess I have a few more snacks to look forward to 🍜😀

And that's the final two done: roasted carrots and penne with a garlic sauce. 8 more servings, so that makes 28. Together with the stuff I prepare fresh (like salads), some canned soups and junk food days, that should be enough dinners for 6-8 weeks. 🍜🍽️

Next two dishes are done, both stock pile favorites of mine: a chicken pilav sauce and bami. Adding another 8 servings of dinner, making this 20 dinners in total. Just 2 more to go tomorrow! 🍽️🍜

Long day, but the first two bulk dishes (12 servings total) are made and in the freezer: the simplified chicken yassa I make a lot and a string bean 'stamppot': string beans with mashed potatoes and bits of smoked chicken and cheese. 🍜🍽️

Fridge and freezer are empty, and clean..ready for a new round of groceries tomorrow and cooking🍽️/meal prepping🍜 this weekend. Looking forward to it, it's always a bit more satisfying to put things in a clean fridge/freezer somehow.

Really content with the flowers in the garden so far this year. The Centaurea that I planted last year is flowering for the first time this year, and the Scabiosa is doing great again too. But I'm especially happy with the Coreopsis, which is growing so well and having so many flowers/buds! 🌱
