Inside the dead trolley. Not exactly clean enough that you would want to eat a meal off the floor, but not in terrible shape. The trolley is sitting on a short run of tracks, and I supposed somebody intends to restore it.

Baked chicken

A couple of days back, we had a small get together at home. Umma asked me as to what I would be preparing, I began to rack my bains for something different. I settled for oven baked chicken as I felt it would be healthy. The chicken baked beautifully, not too hard and not too soft, with a perfect blend of spiciness and tanginess. I didn't even get a chance to click pictures, so if anyone of you tries it out, you are welcome to send me the photos and I will upload them.

1/2 kg chicken, cut into small pieces

1 tsp coriander seeds

3/4 tsp cumin seeds

6 cloves garlic(you can reduce the amount of garlic if you are using the larger variety)

1 small piece ginger

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp vinegar

1/4 cup yoghurt

2 tsp chilli powder

potato wedges, onion rings, quartered tomatoes(optional)

Marinate chicken with salt and juice of 1 lemon. Keep it aside. Grind ginger, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, cumin and corinader seeds to a smooth paste. Mix with curds, chilli powder and salt. Add the chicken and mix it well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Place the chicken pieces on a greased baking tray and bake for 10 minutes on moderate heat. Turn the chicken over and baste ghee over the chicken. If you wish, you can add veggies now. Bake on high heat until the chicken becomes charred brown(similar to tandoori chicken). Turn the chicken again and baste ghee. Bake until the chicken becomes brown and all the liquid evaporates. Serve hot.

Microwave chocolate cake

The first time I read about these cakes (about 1 year back) I was like "WOW! No more waiting for half an hour for your cake. Now I can have a hot steaming cake in 5 minutes, and that too all to myself." So I quickly went into the kitchen and whipped up all the ingredients in my mug and mirowaved it. You know what came out? A long cake with a texture close to rubber and taste- well the lesser said the better. What made me even more angry was Nada's *I told you not to try it. Now I will not eat it for you* look. About a week later, I saw another recipe of the cake. I felt it would come out good this time as it was from a blog I followed regularly and the people who had commented also said it was good. So I rushed to the kitchen and began preparing them. Alas! Yet again, I had to finish the whole cake myself. You would think that I had learnt my lesson by now. But no...when I recieved another recipe of a 5 minute cake in my inbox, I was just as much excited to try it out, as much I was the first time I had seen it. But I never got an opportunity to try it. I was always busy with one or the other work, until recently, when one evening, all the ladies had gone shopping, Noora and Naila were with the usthaad and I and Nada were babysitting Maahi. Nada, in her helpless tone, asked me to prepare something. When I announced that I would prepare these cakes, she was like " but 5 minute cake". But I did not heed to her and prepared it anyway. And you know what, this time it was perfect. It was perfectly sweetened and the smell of uncooked flour was also not there. And I was glad the recipe yields 2 mugs of cake, as 1 wouldn't be enough.

  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp coffee powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp vamilla essence

  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add oil, milk, vanilla and egg. Mix well.
  • Pour into 2 microowave safe mugs. It might cover only 1/3 of the mug, but don't worry, its going to rise.
  • Microwave the mugs on medium for 1 minute. It will rise.
  • Leave it for 10 seconds and then microwave for 30 secondson medium.
  • Make sure not to overcook. The center mght look a little undercooked, but that's fine.
  • Invert the mug onto a plate, or simply dig into your mug with a spoon.

Mango curry

When I was small, this was prepared annually. Every year, during the mango season, we'd get these small fibrous mangoes called "kaatu maanga" translated "wild mangoes" from India. This was one of my fav curries. Then after some time, we stopped bringing them from India, though I don't know why. Anyway, when Uppa came to Qatar last week, he brought these mangoes, and I was delighted. After so many years I got an oppurtnity to taste this again. mouth is watering.

10 kaatu maanga/ wild mangoes
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 springs curry leaves
3-4 dried red chillies
2 green chillies, slit open
1/2 cube jaggery
1/2 cup coconut milk(optional)

Peel the mangoes.

Soak the peel in 2 cups of water, changing the waer about 3-4 times, so that the peel becomes thin and you have about 6 cups of mango water. Keep the water aside and discard the peel.

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add mustard seeds. When they crackle, add curry leaves and both chillies. Fry for 1 minute.

Add the mango water, jaggery and salt. Add mangoes, one by one. If you wish to add coconut milk, add now. Heat the curry, till it boils vigorously. Switch off the flame and keep it covered for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the curry into individual bowls and add one mango into each of the bowls. You can serve it with rice, though I prefer to have it plain.

This is probably my last post from Qatar, so I wanted it to be really special. I had planned to write about something that I had prepared with my friends, but unfortunately, I haven't yet uploaded those pics on my PC and my USB Cable is already packed. Anyway, this recipe is also very special, since I prepared it with Soufanammai.
Once I was just going through Shilpa akka's blog when Soufanammai came and she noticed the word nanankatayi on the side bar. She asked me to open the page and we saw that it was extremely easy to prepare. So we prepared it that day itself :) It came out really good. I am still wondering how does nanankatayi always have this slightly salty taste even though no salt is added- neither directly, nor through the butter.
I had a little difficulty in deciding as to when they were done. I almost burnt the first batch. I learnt that it is done when it is still soft, the top is slightly powder-ey and the bottom has slighly browned. Without further ado, I'd like to present you the super-easy nanankatayi recipe.

Maida/all purpose flour 2 cups
Powdered sugar 1 cup
Vanaspati/ghee 1 cup
Baking soda 1 tsp
Cardamom powder(optional) 1/4 tsp
Heat vanaspati/ghee till it melts and add it to flour. Mix all other ingredients to form a soft dough. Leave the mixture for 4-5 hrs.

Make small rounds with the mixture. Keep the balls on a greased oven proof dish. Bake in preheated oven at 300F for around 30-40 mins (till the nankatayis get a few cracks on the top).

I realized.....

That Obama was right in his speech, John McCain JUST DOESN'T GET IT!

How dumb does McCain think that women are? (pause music on the side)

Also, I feel insulted as a woman and mother when the media praises Sarah Palin for choosing to have her baby even though he has Downs Syndrome! It is the same choice many women make every year, regardless of prenatal diagnosis, whether they are pro-choice or anti-choice! That is the point of being pro-choice, having the ability to choose what is best for you and your situation.

teaching in Singapore

I am going to teach at Bloesem Class in Singapore in a few weeks!

Irene from Bloesem blogs invited me and I am so much looking forward to work with people in Singapore in the lovely creative space Irene has created there.

I will give a class about a favourite part of my job: moodboarding & styling! Every single design from my hand starts with a moodboard. It serves as my base, a creative source, it is my guide through the path of the designing process.
Read all about the class here. I think there are still some seats left, so if you are in Singapore: sign in!

You're gonna love this!

Welcome my friends,

For those of you who have been around long enough to visit my site, you may remember the story I wrote a few months back. You know, the one about the company I applied at for a job and the building was for sale etc. Well, I finished my last 2 weeks on Friday and actually took a few photo's to share with you.

The first one is of the building as I drove past just for the picture.

Second is the dummy (first thing you see when you open the front door) this is a porch. You cannot see the roofing material in the photo, I just aimed my digital a took my best shot as I walked out of the office. But there is drop ceiling material scattered throughout this room. It is all over the floor just like it was 4 months ago, nothing has been touched.

This is the left side of the porch, where the Physical Therapy equipment and drop ceiling material is all over this stuff also. They did add this door to this side of the room , not sure if they were trying to cover some of the stuff up or if they ran out of space inside.

For those that are reading about this for the first time check out my previous postings to get the whole story.

As I said, Friday was my last day with this company.

On Saturday, my husband & I had been out and about. When we arrived back home wegot the mail from our mailbox to find a letter from our local bank. My husband opened the envelope to find a letter stating the company check (in which I received a week earlier) had bounced.

I have nothing more to say, I'm sure all of you are peeing you pants by now... LOL

Farm Chick Paula said...

Oh bless your heart, honey.... I'm not laughing,(well, not too hard) I'm just glad you're outta there!!
That looks like a house of horrors!

Kathleen from Eggs In My Pocket said...

Oh, how horrible! I am so sorry. It is such a shame to be used by someone like that. God has something better waiting for you! That certainly was not a good place to be in. Hope all turns out well. Have a happy holiday weekend, blessings, Kathleen

Vickie said...

When you first was telling about this I had a picture in my mind and I can say the picture I had in my mind was much nicer. Love Ya Cuz :)

BittersweetPunkin said...

OH MY! I remember your post....unbelievable!!

Happy 4th!! I hope you have a great weekend!!

Mel said...

Holiday weekend was time spent with our lovely family, we went fishing all day Friday. Everyone but me caught fish. I was thrilled none the same, because getting my husband to go fishing is like getting him to go to the doctors when he is sick... LOL

I will try and send some pictures on my blog space.

I love you all, you are so kind, you all are Gods blessing to me.

Hope your holiday was filled with happiness & fun.

May God bless you all,

Will Nobody Think of the Pancakes!?

As my legion of faithful readers knows, I am very concerned about what America is doing to poor, innocent pancakes.

Until recently, it had not occurred to me that the largest threat in the Pancake Axis of Evil would be The International House of Pancakes (a.k.a iHOP, as if we wouldn't see through their disguise.) My naivete was due, in part, to the fact that I don't ever eat there. Why would I go to a crowded, plastic-coated, weirdly-shaped place with embarrassing dish names when I can get my pancake needs satisfied here? Or here? Or, dare I say it, at home?

It sort of surprised me a couple of weeks ago when my son woke up on a Saturday and informed us that we would be going to iHOP for breakfast. I didn't even know it was on his radar, since we never go there. My mom and dad thought it would be harmless enough -- perhaps even a nice change from the usual, high-quality restaurants we frequent, so we got ourselves in the car and drove to the nearest fake Swiss chateau, or whatever it's supposed to look like.

Inside, I got my first inkling of the horror that was to come. First of all, at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday, there was no wait. Every other breakfast place in San Diego always has a line out the door at that time on a weekend.

When I got into the tiny lobby, my son pointed to a poster bearing images of characters from Horton Hears a Who around this startling item:

"Oh my God, what is that?" I exclaimed. "It's what I want for breakfast," my son explained.

Indeed, iHOP has invented Who-cakes in a cross-marketing campaign for the recent movie version of Horton Hears a Who. What they are is a stack of about six pancakes covered in not-found-in-nature pink and blue sauce with candy sprinkled all over and a lollipop stuck in the center. For children. For breakfast.

Now, I'm not super vigilant about my son's diet. I try to make sure he has a fairly good balance of veggies and pasta and proteins and such, but I let him have cookies and candy, and I indulge him with milkshakes and pie for dessert, probably more often than I should. But this particular monstrosity really tested my limits. In the end, I let him order the Who-cakes.

My son ate approximately one bite of one of the less-sauce-covered cakes, and declared himself finished and asked for some of my veggie omelet. I asked how he liked the Who-cakes, and he declared them "kinda maybe yucky." Unfortunately, so was the omelet, though it wasn't as much of an assault on the eyes.

So, sense prevails, even in six-year-olds. They may be taken in by advertising, but they will figure it out when something is just not good.

Finally, in another terrible strike against pancakes, our waiter revealed that the iHOP does not stock real maple syrup. What the hell?

Review #121: Happily Never After- Missy Fleming

Summary: There's no such thing as happy endings.

Savannah, Georgia is rumored to be the most haunted place in America. Quinn Roberts knows it is. She's felt the presence of spirits her entire life, investigating and photographing them with her best friend. Only none of those encounters ever turned violent, until now. The menacing darkness feeding off her stepmother has promised she won't live to see her eighteenth birthday.

After a chance meeting Quinn reluctantly allows actor Jason Preston into her life, which has complications of its own. She's not used to letting people get close. Falling for him while fighting for her life, and her family's legacy, only complicates things more. Jason shows her exactly what she stands to lose, especially when she's being attacked by the mysterious entity. Each attack is more violent and terrifying than the last.

With Jason's help, she dives into the Roberts' family history, searching for a link between a woman who went missing a hundred and fifty years ago and what's happening now. What they find is a brutal murder and that the ghost doesn't just want to hurt Quinn, it wants revenge.

It wants her life.
Title: Happily Never After
Author: Missy Fleming
Rating: 5/5 Stars
Review: I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I friggin loved this book! Missy Fleming has started something amazing and I really hope that she can finish it as strongly. I love that she used Cinderella as the bones of the story but made it her own by involving ghosts. It really blew my mind. By adding ghosts it took the book up a notch. It was amazing the way that Missy was able to make the story modern and appealing to readers. Ghosts freak me out because I believe that they are the most real of the paranormal creatures, so to me this novel had the horror element as well.
I loved the characters that Missy Fleming created. Quinn was a dark Cinderella and the famous Jason Preston was her Prince Charming. I liked Quinn's quick wit and her critical thinking of how to try to get rid of the evil spirits and also how to help the good ones. Jason's character was a little corny but only because he was the famous guy who fell for a small town girl. I just hope that it is genuine. Catherine was quite the evil villain and I can't wait to see what happens next after that stunt she pulled at the end of the book.
Heck yes, I will be continuing on with this series. I need to find out what happens with Quinn and how she will deal with the situation she has found herself in. I would recommend this book to fairytale lovers and ghost junkies.

Tokyo #1/2 - Minato-ku, Shibuya & Karaoke

After the night in Paris, at the airport again, check in, baggage check, etc.
 and finally in the airplan
 it appeared like the airplane had another problem,
u kidding????
but in the end we could still depart with "only" two hours delay -.-''

I have really long legs so I had pretty much  no space at all,
 but luckily I could sleep almost the whole flight besides watching two movies
~~well after two nights with almost no sleep it was just to be expected~~
If you know what these yeollow balls are supposed to be, please tell me, because I don't know^^'

And then... ahhhhhh finally arrived in Tokyo

We got our Japanese phones at the airport and then took the airport limousine to Westin Hotel
 which was the nearest station to Minato-ku where our guesthouse was.
There we moved on to a Taxi.
The guy that worked at the hotel was so kind to tell the taxi driver where to go,
which helped a lot, but we still had some troubles finding our guesthouse
 since there were two houses with the same adresse...
fortunately the owner told me beforehand which car parks before their door.

We ran the door, but it took a while for them to open up.
As we got to know later they were partying quite a bit the previous day at their place and were, therefore, still hangover.....

AIRFRANCE I hzeridfsiuhiojd >.<

We pretty much just took a shower and went out again. Minato-kun is a rather quiet region,
 but still really near from the Center of Tokyo, so I really recommend it.
We had to walk about 10 minutes to Ebisu station,
 to take the metro to Shibuya, which only takes a minute.
so convenient, I swear >.<

After getting a little bit lost we finally got to Shibuya~

After going around for a bit, Jasmin got hungry so as we kind of were lost looking for a place to eat,
 some random guy came up to us, asking if we were Japanese and needed help.
lol, did the sunlight blend him too much, or did he just ignore the fact that we're black :'
  We ended up going to eat Ramen with him and later did some Karoke.
Way to start the first day ;D

After going to a cafe, we went back to our guesthouse,  and this sums up the first day in Tokyo,
but like seriously for me, it was just a day were I asked myself every hour
 if I really was in Tokyo and not dreaming  ^-^

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken

OH!  This is so wonderful!  Today "we" . . .and yes, it's "we!" are out of school again!  This time, though, we knew before we headed off to bed so "we" . . .and here, it's more "us" as in the adults!  . . . were able to take advantage of sleeping in!

It's been great except for the rolling black-outs they are conducting!  You know, when it's a bone-chilling 16 degrees -- a few minutes with your heat off doesn't take long for your fingers to start turning blue!  Not to mention, we have no carpet in our house!  These hard-surface floors get cold in a hurry!  Lucky us, we have a frozen pipe in our bathroom!  With the space heater plugged in and blowing hot air on it, hopefully we'll escape without any trouble.

"We"  . . .and yes, it's "we" keep checking to see if school is cancelled for tomorrow too!  I've told the kids 100 times -- and you know that's no exaggeration, that it won't be posted this early!  But wouldn't it be great if they surprised us and DID post it this early!  Think of the joy and squeals we'd produce if we knew we had another day at home!  Yippee!

Reading to her new doll, Molly

We've had this marble track for about 9 years
and it still entertains us!  This time the kids
started the track off of the mantle and used
a marble jump to land to the rest of the track
on the ground!  It's totally cool!
Today, we've played more games and the kids are still in their jammies!  Some warm and delicious waffles with buttermilk syrup (recipe is on the blog) for breakfast we did enjoy!  Nothing like trying to get breakfast made before the electricity was turned off again!  Both of the kids have gotten their reading done and studied for their tests this week!

Snow days, or in this case, ice days, are a blessing from the Lord.  I really believe it's His way of saying "slow down!"  It's really a sabbath of sorts!

With such a cold day outside, the yumminess of something creamy and hot will just hit the spot.  I don't think I've posted this recipe yet.  It is so easy and a crowd pleaser with the kiddos!

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken

4 frozen boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1 package Good Seasonings dressing packet
1 - 8oz block of cream cheese*, cut up

Noodles or Rice to serve under the chicken

Place frozen chicken in your crock pot and sprinkle with the dry dressing mix.  Turn on high and cook for 4-6 hours or until done.  When done, using 2 forks, shred the chicken into chunks in the crock pot.

About 30 minutes before serving, drop in cream cheese and melt.  Stir around, mixing the seasoning, cream cheese and chicken together.  Serve over the noodles or rice.

*I use the Weight Watcher's cream cheese.  It's cheaper and healthier than the other leading brand!

Fram said...

Greetings, Natalie ....

I listened to you reciting the poems you posted today. They are lovely, as is your voice, but I am certain you have heard that many times before. It also is obvious how happy your poetry makes you and how much you enjoy sharing it.

Since I know so little about you, I accept your "Self-Portrait," and understand why you like it so much. In "Suffering ...," are you saying you believe in pre-destination? "The Script was written..."????

Natalie said...

Dear Fram,
Thank you for your kindness and compliments. To answer your question about believing in pre-destination, impossible! In one sentence or in one-page long paragraph, impossible! I will try a different approach!
A couple of nights ago I was watching the BBC documentary, “Illusion of Reality”, I would like to quote the narrator’s final word (Professor of physics, Jim Al-Khalili) :

The documentary is about the atom, which is, as we all know, an “empty” space…
“What is fascinating to me is that atoms that make up my body are identical to those in the rocks, the air, the trees and even the stars, and yet they come together to create a conscious being who can ask the question what is the atom…”
Dear friend, we are too insignificant to create our own destiny!!!! Tomorrow I may disagree with myself but tonight I am tired and ….pessimistic!! Haha
Also, today I was looking for a full definition of “stoic” and, quite by accident, came across this sentence:
“Stoic achieves happiness by submission to destiny” – I agree!!!

Fram said...

Natalie .... of the Rus

This early, early, early morning. I read every word you have posted here. My comments are many. I did not view every "movie." My computer is too slow to accomplish that over the course of a few hours. But, at least you do already know how I view your voice and your readings. I said many things about your poetry. Mostly good things, I think, but some negative criticism, which I hope you will consider. I would rather be slapped in the face than be dishonest, although what I think is no more than that .... one man's opinion.

One element of this exercise for me has been to think about trying to express myself in verse. I have not done so for a number of years, since I was a "college boy." You made me think about my own inner self. That is a real accomplishment, to have your poetry go beyond simple appreciation and to actually influence another's actions.

One more thought. I hope you begin to become more aware of being loved for your words, for your intellect, for your emotions, for your spirit -- than for a beautiful face or a young body. Be brave. You are beautiful, and you will be forever. You said it yourself; recall your uncle's advice. So far, none of us have found a way to stop time, and love actually does exist beyond youthful desire.

Take care .... Fram

Oladapo Ogundipe said...

I agree, she will be beautiful forever. In spirit. In appearance. In expression. In everything!
We love you

Natalie said...

Thank you, gentlemen....
(Can't stop blushing....)

Christmas h.Art

It's always my favourite event of the year- thank you so much to all of our friends both old and new who came to join us over the weekend. Here is just a very small snapshot of a wonderful weekend.

You make it possible for us to be able to take part in fantastic events like h.Art.

We wish you a very Happy Christmas!

Lots of love

Crafts for Christmas at the NEC Birmingham

Hopelessly late, but I had to write about how we got on at the NEC last month.

The show is actually four shows in one- Crafts for Christmas, Cake International, Hobbycrafts and Art Materials Live so there were hundreds and hundreds of different stands to see and tens of thousands of people visiting.

It was incredibly hard work and Sam was amazing for taking the time off work to come and support me (you really can't do a show like that by yourself). There weren't as many independent designer makers as in previous years but we were lucky to be positioned in with a cluster of other makers. We had a fantastic time and the best part of the event was that we made some lovely new friends.

Andy and Hazel of 'Handmade by Hazel' were our neighbours. They were great fun to be around during the long days and make stunning wooden and slate items for your home such as cheeseboards and wine racks.

Lovely Val of 'Foxy Brushworks' makes gorgeous hand painted mirrors. We did an artist swapsie and I came away with one of her super cute cat mirrors! These would make perfect wedding  or special occasion presents as they can be totally customisable to you.

Super smiley Irek of 'Forever Amber' makes beautiful amber jewellery that I can't tell you too much about as I don't want to spoil any Christmas presents!

We also met 'Henleys Traditional Sweet Shops' who talked me into trying their sour challenge which I failed at dismally!

My very lovely and talented friend, Philippa Day also came to see us!

Wonderful to see Alice and Susan, as always!

Best visitor outfits from these lovely ladies!

They returned as reindeer the following day!

Bringing festive cheer in our Christmas jumpers!

Wednesday, 7 December 2016

It's been an incredibly busy few months with very little free time, but Sam and I decided to treat ourselves to a rare day off- we went on Jacqueline Keenan of La Fleur de Chocolat's chocolate making course!

Chocolate Goddess

We know Jacqui from a few of our regular markets and I don't think I've ever managed to resist not going home with (most likely an empty) box or bag of scrumptious treats made by her.

To say I was in my element during the day would be a huge understatement. I LOVE chocolate.

Jacqui welcomed us all with proper hot chocolate (the best I've ever had) and delicious nibbles. She taught us all about how chocolate is made and then had us taste a variety of different chocolates. This was fascinating and it's amazing how many different flavours you can taste in the real deal when you have an expert guiding you. I've never been wine tasting but I imagine it's a similar experience.

What shocked us the most was how unpleasant the supermarket brand chocolate tasted to us all after trying so many fine chocolates. I didn't think I liked dark chocolate before but Jacqui was absolutely right that we just hadn't tasted the right sort!

During the rest of the afternoon, we made our own fruit ganache to fill a tray of decorated chocolates, as well as three chocolate lollipops. My favourite part was the decorating and I'd love to have another go at it! I tried creating all sorts of detailed designs but I think the simpler, more abstract ones actually looked the most effective.

Painting chocolate designs

Sam's designs

My filling of choice was raspberry and framboise, while Sam opted for mango and passionfruit so between us we had a good selection.

You have to bash the tray with a rolling pin to line each chocolate mould

I knew chocolate making involved a great deal of artistic skill but hadn't realised what a scientific process it is too, and how exact temperatures need to be reached and cooled to in order to temper your chocolate properly and give it a wonderful shine.

I absolutely loved how messy it was as well- such fun!

We had a wonderful day with Jacqui- she couldn't have been more welcoming and it was a real pleasure to learn more about the greatest thing on earth from a passionate expert. We were also allowed to taste everything throughout the day (which of course we did) so I was on a sugar high for the majority of the afternoon. I can't recommend the experience highly enough, so if you're looking for the perfect gift for the chocoholic in your life, head on over to her website!

In the Forest of the Night Exhibition

I'm absolutely delighted to be in the Art in Action Gallery winter exhibition entitled 'In the Forest of the Night'.

I really admire the work of Catherine Hyde and Flora McLachlan (the other two artists taking part) and am honoured to be in their company for the exhibition. I've seen Catherine Hyde's stunning work at Blue Ginger and bought some of her cards at the final Art in Action show. Her paintings are like scenes from stories of myths and magic of old. See more at her website here. I first saw Flora McLachlan's work through the Art in Action Gallery. It's hauntingly beautiful and makes you feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale. Find out about her here.

'In the Forest of the Night' is running from the 5th November to 24th December. The Art in Action Gallery (open daily) is a charming converted barn amongst the grounds of Waterperry Gardens, Oxfordshire. There's also a gift shop and tea room, so it's well worth a visit for an autumnal or wintry day out.

The exhibition will feature original artwork from my 'Winter' collection as well as a good selection of prints and cards.

'Dashing Through the Snow'

This painting is inspired by the deer seen on a wildlife tour in Ardnamurchan off the west coast of Scotland.
 I visited during the summer, but couldn’t resist the idea of turning these magnificent creatures into a wintry scene.

'Winter Moon'

There are stories linking the hare and the moon from all over the world.

The hare was believed to be the sacred beast of an Ancient Saxon goddess, Eostre.
These mysterious creatures come out at night when the moon is full and became
 associated with life and re-birth.

'Midwinter Messenger'

There are stories linking the hare and the moon from all over the world.

The hare was believed to be the sacred beast of an Ancient Saxon goddess, Eostre. These mysterious creatures
 come out at night when the moon is full and became associated with life and re-birth.

He was thought to travel between worlds under the cover of darkness when the moon was full.
 In some stories he is seen in a positive light, and in others as a trickster.

'Mr Fox'

There are folk tales across Britain of a cunning foxy gentleman who tricks a young lady
into agreeing to marry him with his elegance and fine manners. Little does the lady know that
Mr Fox is planning to murder her. Foxes often represent male predators hunting female prey in
these stories. Thankfully in most of the tales the lady is usually more cunning than sly Mr Fox.

'Robin Redbreast'

During the Victorian times, postmen wore red tunics as part of their uniform and
 were nicknamed Robin Redbreasts. Postmen delivered cards and presents
over the Christmas period and the robin was used on cards to represent these
bringers of festive cheer.

'Mab’s Mischief Maker'

Squirrels have long been associated with faeries, particularly Queen Mab. Mab was queen of the faeries
 according to British folklore and was believed to be accompanied by a bird and a squirrel on each shoulder.
She was thought to be fond of mischief, including swapping human babies for changelings (faerie children).

Christmas is Coming!

We've had a fantastic h.Art, and that can only mean one thing…
Christmas is coming!

I'm in full preparation mode for some very exciting events to close the year with. Firstly though, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to support us during h.Art. We really appreciate it and couldn't have done it without you. It's very special for Mum and I to be able to take part in these events together and we're already looking forward to our Christmas Open Studio.

Here are just a few photos of our lovely visitors this year.

I'm currently feeling a little like Home Alone's Kevin as I prepare for my first ever show at the NEC, Birmingham- Crafts for Christmas.

This will be far and away the biggest retail event I've taken part in and is the biggest stand I've ever been able to fill. I'm at the scary stage of ordering vast quantities of stock, display materials and stand decorations and hoping it is all worth it!

Crafts for Christmas is a fantastic show. Alice and I have visited the last two years for 'research' purposes and have been thoroughly swept up in the festive atmosphere so I decided it was about time I had a go myself.

The show is on from the 3rd to the 6th November
9.30am-5.30pm (5pm Sun)
Click here for tickets which are £12 for adults when booked in advance.
Your ticket actually allows you entry into 4 shows on the day: Crafts for Christmas, The Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycraft Show, Art Materials Live and Cake International.

You can find me at Stand C04 where I will be demonstrating!

I will also be taking part in another very exciting event which I will be able to tell you more about at the end of the month.

The other main places you can find me before the end of the year are:

Saturday 29th October, Hereford Art Market, High Town
Thursday 3rd-Sunday 6th November, Crafts for Christmas, NEC Birmingham
Saturday 12th November, Malvern Arts and Food, Abbey Road
Sunday 13th November Teme Valley Market, The Talbot at Knightwick
Saturday 26th November, Malvern Art Market and Christmas Lights Event
Saturday 3rd- Sunday 4th December, h.Art Christmas Open Weekend at Goose Farm
Saturday 10th December, Hereford Art Market, High Town
Sunday 11th December, Teme Valley Market, The Talbot at Knightwick

A Gluten for Punishment

On Friday, I decided to make homemade pizza just as I used to before going on the elimination diet. I knew gluten bothered me, but while I am absolutely adamant about not eating eggs again anytime soon (nor baking with them), I just wanted to try gluten and wheat one.more.time.

The pizza was probably the best I’ve made in as far as I can remember. The dough came out perfect, the most amazing rise and flavor. The sauce was another homemade entity that was flavorful and delicious. The topping was just your basic mozzarella with seasonings. It was glorious and I savored every bite. The family enjoyed it, except for Crab. He never seems to like pizza much.

An hour later it began.

Joker Face

My face started to burn. My skin felt horrible. I couldn’t get the discomfort to stop. I looked like the Joker once more. My face, my underarm turned dry and red, my belly bloated. I felt sluggish and exhausted. Oh boy, this was going to be another long weekend. Why do I do this to myself?

I woke up exhausted on Saturday. I felt tired, my skin hurt. It wasn’t a good sign.

Here’s a sampling of what my face looked like after several creams on Saturday. It was painful and is still as I sit down to type this post. I have had to moisturize constantly and have tried to avoid using A&D ointment to get it to calm down. I cannot wait to flush this feeling out of my system.

Gluten eczema reaction on my face.

My goodness, it was only one slice of pizza and a small one at that. I know with gluten you either can or can’t have it. Looks like I’m a newly committed gluten-free being.

Goodbye Gluten

Goodbye fast food. Goodbye donuts. Goodbye, most foods or delicious brews at any party or outing. Goodbye ease of ordering Chinese take-out.

Wait a minute… all of that crap is unhealthy anyway. This actually might me feeling better and eat better than before. No more temptations, because this pain I’m feeling right now is not one you easily forget about.

I am debating seeing my doctor to get a blood test or go for further investigation into my food sensitivities. I fear, they are worse than I might expect. I have always thought I’ve had an issue absorbing certain vitamins, like B12 or D, and it turns out after much research that gluten sensitivity and intolerance can stand in the way of nutrient absorption.

Why now?

You might be wondering, why didn’t you feel this bad before when you ate gluten/wheat all the time?

Well, truth be told, I did feel horrible, but I thought that was normal. I thought between having two children who run around constantly, and getting older that I just had to accept this level of tiredness, eczema, and joint stiffness.

Not until I went on this ever so difficult elimination diet did I realize HOW much discomfort I was in that was related to what I was consuming. I never felt better three weeks into it. I had energy, my skin problems were gone, and everything felt right with the world. Even my winter depression subsided. I slept great.

The rollercoaster ride of testing threw me off. And after I was done, I decided to add back in a few foods, while testing certain ones specifically again for any reaction.

Now, you might wonder, could it have been the cheese on the pizza as an issue instead of the dough?

Gluten-Free Pizza

Well, to test that theory (and my notes from dairy testing did not prove an eczema reaction) I made a gluten-free pizza dough for lunch today, Sunday.

I made it the exact same way, swapping only the dough. Otherwise, the sauce and cheese were the same (well, I added leftover cheddar, too). I used a flax meal egg replacement to avoid the eggs. In the future, I’ll start making my own pizza dough flours, but this start was a dough from Bob’s Red Mill.

Two hours later, no reaction. I’m still reeling from the remnants of Friday’s reaction, but my skin is calming down and has not flared up. I would’ve noticed immediately if the pain came back. So far, nothing. I feel fine. No bloating. No itchiness.

You know what else… my entire family liked my gluten free pizza. The Monkey actually requested the leftovers for dinner. And the Crab at all of his pieces.

Side note: This weekend I picked up divided dinner plates as Monkey liked a set of plates we had before where his food didn’t touch. I like the idea of using divided plates for their meals, as it reminds me to make sure to include fruits and veggies with each meal, too!

Here’s a shot of their dinner plates:

Monkey & Crab’s dinner de jour.

Even Chris liked the gluten-free pizza and said he tasted no difference. Chris normally dislikes anything that might have a hint of “healthy” to it. Win all around and it’ll only get better from here!

This was my first time working with a gluten-free dough. It was very different from a wheat dough, but I already know some ways I’ll work with it better going forward. And I look forward to making homemade gluten free flours in the coming weeks.

Also this weekend, I tested out Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gf flour blend in a recipe for blueberry muffins that I had used before with wheat flour. They came out great and Crab’s been eating them up! The bonus, I have no lethargy after eating baked goods that are gluten-free.

I never took the time to learn about gluten free foods until now. I realize, I could’ve consumed many more gluten free options on the elimination diet the past two months. Being ignorant to what gluten free meant made my life so much more difficult on the diet.

Now, I’ve been borrowing gluten-free cookbooks from the library, researching more online, and found a lot of great flour blends for baked goods. I’ve also asked myself, how much do I need baked goods in my weekly life anyway?

We usually have pizza only once per week. Other than that, maybe a baked muffin or cookie on the weekends. Gluten free is more expensive, but that just means we won’t eat it as often, which in the end, fruits and vegetables are our best bet. By making my own flour blends it’ll lower the costs a bit more.

Good thing my kiddos love fruits and vegetables. It’s not a huge shift for them. Luckily, I can still consume dairy products (aside from eggs which are pretty easy to substitute) and we can still enjoy chocolate together!

A Journey Begins

Gluten free is going to be a journey. There is a lot to learn and a lot to pay attention to in my future eating choices. I realize I may have to start bringing my own food or snacks out, but I’m okay with that. It’ll keep me eating healthier in the end, which means I’ll feel great all the time; not just some of the time.

More to come on my notes for testing foods and how I narrowed down the list from eight allergens to two I’ll be completely avoiding. Thank you for following along on my new journey!

Snow day...part two

Just in from sledding with a bunch if neighbors. Had a ton of fun...E
went solo a few times and had a blast. Plus, she finally got to make
the "barney snowman" she'd been talking about all week.

First time since we moved here that I've been happy to have the huge
( yet perfect for sledding) hill in our yard.

Sunday Stash Report - Week 13

Everything that went in, also went out, so this week was a wash. I purchased the backing and binding fabrics for this.
1.75 yards of the gray with NO piecing - thank you, scraps from the shirts! And 5/8ths of a yard for the burgundy sashing and binding.

Used this Week: 2.38
Used Year to Date: 41.77
Added this Week: 2.38
Added Year to Date: 53.45
Net Used for 2011: (11.68) yards
I think my goal for the second quarter of the year will be to get/keep the net used under 10 yards. Which means I'll have to get the net down low before June and the Oklahoma shop hop.
See how everyone else did at Patchwork Times!

SmartEvals Course Assessments

SmartEvals is the university’s web-based course assessment software. It has replaced our home grown ICA system. SmartEvals is loaded nightly with current course sections, their instructors, and the associated registered students. Near the end of each course section, every student will receive an email reminding them to complete the survey for that class. If they are Blackboard users, there will be a Course Assessment block visible on the landing page when they log in. They can either link to the survey directly from the email, or from this block on Blackboard. The survey appears in a typical format similar to Survey Monkey or Qualtrics. It ends with a “Submit” button. The student doesn’t have access to any other functionality.

Instructors see a different email and can log into the system from a link at the bottom. They have access to some aggregate survey data. Certain instructors will also receive a PDF formatted report with survey results for their courses.

Course assessments provide faculty, department heads, and deans with anonymous feedback from students on their experiences in a course. Information for course assessments is used to improve the overall teaching and learning experience for Concordia’s students

Technology Resources

University Analytics, Research and Assessment owns SmartEvals. ATS owns the Banner queries that feed the system.

I received an email from CourseEvals@cu-portland.edu. Is it safe to click on the links inside?
Yes. You are enrolled in a course that has a course assessment associated with it. The link will take you to a website where you can complete the survey.

I received a request to complete a survey from someone called SmartEvals. Who is this from?
We are using a course assessment survey system provided by SmartEvals. You should see that Concordia University - Portland is also shown on the webpage. We encourage you to complete your course assessment. Your responses will help Concordia improve the educational-experience of all students.

My class ended weeks ago. Why am I getting this survey now?
Some of our courses did not issue surveys at the optimal time. The surveys are anonymous and you can safely complete them. We value your participation and request that you complete the survey.

There were only a few people in my class. Do I need to worry that my instructor will see my responses before they grade me?
Instructors are unable to see who responded to their course surveys. For small classes, the instructor will not receive responses at all. But it is still important for you to complete the survey so Concordia can use the information to improve the education experience.

I took my survey from a link in Blackboard. Why am I also getting an email that says I have not completed the survey?
Every course survey requested from Blackboard will also result in an email with a link to take the survey. The email is sent first, so if you take the survey in Blackboard, the email will not reflect the survey status. However, when you click through to the survey from the email, the system will confirm that you have already completed the survey.

When I click the link in the email (or Blackboard) the screen has a button that says “click if you dropped”. Will this button drop me from the class?
If you have, or soon will be completing the class, click the button on the left that says “Evaluate” to take your survey. The button on the right should only be used if you have already formally dropped the class. Clicking this button will not drop you from the class.

I don't recognize the name of the class shown on my survey. How do I know what class it is for?
The survey title may have a generic name for your course. You can review the subject and course number code for reference. We are working to improve the course titles that appear in SmartEvals.

If you are an instructor or student who is having issues with your course assessments, please contact our Course Evaluation Support team at courseevals@cu-portland.edu .

Unknown Bear-Cloaked Lunar

Unknown Bear-Cloaked Lunar

A tall, wide, imposing beast of a man. He wore a bear-skin cloak over tribal leathers and hide, leaving his arms bare.

In combat (and the first encounter with him swiftly progressed to combat – albeit non-lethal) he carried a bow but never used it, preferring direct strikes with fists and elbows.

While he had little to no finesse, he was exceedingly strong and capable should a blow actually land.

As yet unknown, but he seemed invested in stopping you meddling with the local tribal people.

Healthy Meal: Berry Baby Breakast Smoothie Recipe

In the Arrayan house, we love breakfast!  Food just tastes yummier in the morning.  Digestion is at its peak after a restful night.  Now is the time to give your body food it can use!

Heres a recipe I used this morning for the baby, but its delicious enough for even the most discerning adult.  The thing I love about smoothies is that there is no one way to make them and its very difficult to mess them up.  Its also super easy to sneak extra nutrition in, which is always fun with kids!

Berry Baby Breakfast Smoothie

1C almond milk (any milk will do)
1/2 banana
1/4C blueberries (or berries of choice)
1.5Tbs Shaklee Protein Powder (either flavor)

Add-ins (this is the fun/sneaky part)

1tsp Shaklee Kids Multivitamin Powder
1 tablet chewable Cal-Mag
1Tbs wheat germ
1 squirt flax seed oil

Put it all in a blender and blend until smooth.

Serve with a handful or two of Oat Os for a fanastic, delicious breakfast!

Beware the new Corporatopia

August 31st, 2012

Company towns were a nineteenth-century invention, but it seems the philosophy is making a comeback. This time, tech titans are attempting to craft modern utopias in their gleaming, purpose-built silicon cities.
