Playing thes recorder

What a funny thing, I just realized there is something that we all had to learn playing during our first years at School: The recorder. LOL what a terrible moment for our parents, we would all tell our mum or dad:
- please listen to me, and we would have to repeat the same wrong music notes again and again, but today that is still part of some of my good childhood memories.

What are you eating while travelling?

Sharon Hwang started drawing in her Diary all the things that she has been cooking and eating during her different trip. I like the idea very much, that is cool and very clever I think. She is a Graphic designer, if you've got some time go and check her webpage.

What should be on my next shopping list...

Cute blouse, might need one, well "need" is perhaps a strong word that "we" women are using way too often ... it is more like I would love to buy that white blouse, but I guess between what I need and what I want, I should think twice before spending too much money. But woo... I really like this style, very elegant.

Vintage milk bottles

This is really cool, I would drink more milk if I could buy those vintage bottles.

How to bake a brownie in an eggshell

La Receta de la Felicidad, a Spanish-language site, has Sandeea Cocina's great little HOWTO for baking brownies inside blown eggshells. You make a hole in the shell with a corkscrew, stand the shell up in a muffin tin with tin-foil supports, and fill the egg with brownie batter using a piping bag and bake (make sure to leave room in the egg to allow for cakeular expansion!). My mom used to make me Jello-filled hollow eggs, but this is a whole 'nother level of egg-hacking.



What is also possible is to make cupcakes from your eggshell brownies.Once baked, peel them and cut them in half and then pipe a generous twist of frosting, tinted golden yellow, onto the wide side of your egg half. Sprinkle with a bit of red sugar to evoke paprika and a bit of green-colored coconut as your pretend parsley and TA-DA, deviled egg cupcakes!

Halloween ♥

I had one delightful amazing weekend of Halloween in London,
Anthony, Marilyne and I stayed at my cousin "Julie"s place. Hope you had a wonderful Halloween too.

The Tape and the Pencil

Coffee Filter Lantern

How to decorate a lamp with Coffee Filters. Love the idea.

You can buy the lamp and the cable at Ikea and for the Coffee filter in any market.
To start, place a dollop of hot glue on the spot you want to fill then scrunch the coffee filter so that the bottom forms more of a point. Place the scrunched filter on the glue and hold for a few seconds.

Continue around the lantern until every spot is covered.


Once the lantern is covered, screw the bulb to the cord and insert into the opening of the lantern and secure the cord around the wire so that the bulb hangs directly in the center of the lantern.
