Kitchen day is over. The rendang was a bit different,
since I used another brand of seasoning mix than usual,
but my belly is full ;) Now I'm sipping my green chai
tea and just finished watching this video - TED talk
with Willie Smits, the man, who has done amazing work
for the people and for the nature in my homeland
Indonesia. I got goosebumps!



Here is the link to his project to save the orang utan.

kitchen day

I've been spending the whole morning in the kitchen today.
Washing dishes (which I've fully neglected yesterday),
making ice cream (my boy and I are crazy about ice cream),
washing some more dishes, cooking lunch, more dish washing
and it's not yet the end, as I'm going to cook rendang, a spicy
Indonesian beef curry. But since I had to hang the laundry in
the attic, I allow myself to take a break.



This beautiful old curtain is covering the ugly shelf in the
attic. It was already there, as I moved in. I love the pattern
and colors - so cheerful!
Don't ask, how many times I've been passing along and
thinking, what I could do with it *lol*



OK, now back to the kitchen. The curry needs about 3 hours
to cook o_O
