Dec. 20th, 2005 09:44 amI've been too lazy to write down the list these past few days, but it's going pretty well.
Christmas: There's less than a week to Christmas. Time flies. I haven't bought a single present yet! Or shopped for Christmas dinner. *refuses to fret*
The 4 day bread: Turned out okay, but it will need some May adjustments. First of all there was waaaaaay too much dough, even though I halved the recipe. Second of all, the whole rye grains were a tad too hard. C says the bread improves day by day as it gets older, but I'd still like to enjoy it from day one, so next time I'll soak the rye first and put less rye grain and more sunflower seeds. Finally the bread was too light for my taste, so more rye flour and less wheat flour. Will post the recipe once I have made the perfect bread. This first time I just followed the recipe to the dot.
Art: I've found a British online shop that sells artmaterial - and more importantly: Velourpaper! They have good prices and are significantly cheaper than the Swiss deliverer, plus I don't need to buy a minimum of 5 blocks at a time, they sell them individually. Shipping prices are also very reasonable with a choice between Royal Mail and UPS. AND if you live outside the EU, the British VAT (17,5%)will be deducted from your purchase at check-out. European artists might want to take a look: http://www.ziggyart.co.uk/
Speaking of art, I've installed a guestbook on my site. That was surprisingly easy and I even found a free one without advertisment. So far I love it.
