Here a very short video. The premises is the same, cooking with the hay box, in this case simple rice. And then just added some left overs from yesterdays dinner and some salad leafs. Enjoy!

This is the most easy bread I know. just simple, hardly any work and tasty with soup

A very easy and warming curry for those cold days!

Sometimes the light is like you are watching all of a sudden a picture from the seventies, so special!

A true winter dinner from the hay box

A bit of a follow up movie, this small one. It's about how I can alter the hay box to also accommodate larger pots.

Yet another video from the hay box, a simple squash curry, enjoy!

I was a full weekend with 

It did take me quite some time to make another video. Not the shooting but the editing took more time but here I do have another video!

I made a new video making rice this time. Again truly simple, but highly effective using a hay box. It hardly takes any energy to do it this way. Grand for people with high energy bills, like we have in the Netherlands.

Just made another movie using my hay box, it can actually turn out in a series :-). This time using the hay box to cook potatoes. Really simple to be honest, but it might help someone out there in the universe.

Just before I go to bed I think about what I want to eat the next day and if something needs to soak. So in this video I show you how I use chickpeas, let them soak overnight and how I process them the next day to make hummus using the hay box. Enjoy!

Have decided that it is highly time to post more then just one post a year. Do wish to share more. Not that I'm that kind of girl who likes to show off - far from that actually, but more that I really want to share how I do stuff because I think that it might be useful for perhaps someone else. So here I go. First entry done

What I love about this blog that I started in 2011, is not so much that it is visited by many people (I actually believe that it is most frequently visited by bots, that decide these pages are not worthwhile to get into any search engine), but it is a time capsule for myself. Already looking at the pictures of my last updates, somewhere in 2014, so much has changed. And I truly want to share this journey of creating a homely home. If not with true humans, then with bots :-). 
So here I am, setting myself with the task of revamping this website. What I did do is leave the 4 different blogs behind, it is just to much and as I want to view it as a whole, one blog is sufficient, so you will find all stuff I will post from now over here, at this landing page only. I shall do my best to upload some picture that I took in the gap between the last updates in 2018 and now.
If there is a human reader out there that actually has made it to read this sentence, I would love to receive a comment, many thanks for sharing your thoughts with me (or that you are human) both are equally appreciated!

Well, I must confess, although the previous pots were quite alright, they were quite heavy to haul around for 40 km. So I resorted to this, I know it is plastic, but a good deal lighter, so I might ingest some plastic particles, but will not have sore knees at the end of the journey.

Oh it is so cold today, it is weird, in September it was so hot, now it is extremely cold. 

Look at my sorting abilities! I really enjoy making things neat and tidy and that was what I did. I purchased a bunch of boxes and got sorting, oh I really enjoy the sight of neat organization.

I suddenly realized, this is what they call an Indian summer! Oh, nice bright sunlight throughout the day, how blissfully happy it can make you!

It's hot and happening (at least for me), salad jars, I made two today, for our walk (40 km) for the preparation of our Nijmeegse vierdaagse. The only question I have: how will I get to the juicy sauce down in the bottom 

Oh, what a fun day it was! I was participating in a local art festival where artists would have their houses opened for the public to look around. I counted roughly 100 men, of course not all at once in my house (that would never fit), but during the day some here and there. Gosh it was great!
