I’m trying out gouache painting these days, so I decided to paint today’s quick Inktober doodle instead of inking with a pen:

Painting (contrary to drawing) has never been something I’ve felt natural (or even fun) to do.

But I want to expand my creative toolbox and I’m having lots of fun with gouache and playing with colours at the moment.

Some of the paintings might make it to the blog at some point, if they don’t end up in the rather big pile of creative projects/materials that I used for a week and then didn’t get back to. There’s so much yarn, guys.

In our kitchen there’s one bottle that dominates both in size and in amount of product we consume. It’s this one in the middle:

Curry ketchup. Yup.

Okay, it might be a stretch to say that it dominates, because we also drink other bottled things, mainly fizzy water and coke. But we don’t have any of those in the house right now, so curry ketchup is the king of our kitchen at this moment.

It’s a product that my boyfriend brought into my life, but I’m not ashamed to say that I’m the one who bought this insanely big bottle of the stuff. Okay a little ashamed, because it’s not 100% aligned with my ideas of good food. But it just tastes so good on eggs!

The bottles in the drawing from left to right are:

  • White wine vinegar
  • Red wine (which we always get as a gift, but we almost never drink, because we’re beer people)
  • Curry ketchup
  • Sriracha
  • Maple syrup

When you let your bread dough rise for too long and this happens:

This almost happened to me today, because I went for a (as always, really slow) jog while my sourdough loaf was rising in its bread tin. But I managed to get it in the oven in time!

Short update related to yesterday’s waffle post: I made these Overnight Yeasted Waffles this morning, and they turned out REALLY good. Look!

I found the recipe in this Youtube video by Emmymadeinjapan: Waffle hotdog recipe

I love Emmy’s videos, and I’ve been watching a lot of them this past month since I found the channel, sometimes while cooking. It’s amazing to discover a new channel and be able to binge-watch all the videos.
