Garum

Pompeii Food and Drink Garum

Lately I read several historical novels about Caesar and Cicero – and at some point they all mention Garum – the notorious fish sauce which the old Romans seem to have poured over nearly everything (I understand that it was the ancient ketchup ;-)).
That’s why I wanted to know whether the recipe is still known.
It is.
And if you will excuse me I stick to ketchup.

Camera as Flowerpot

Photojojo Camera as Flowerpot

What a great idea to plant old cameras!
I still have some and old lenses, some of which are broken and I don’t need them anymore, but I can’t part with them.
Perhaps I shouldn’t and instead plant them.
Hm, on the other hand I have a brown thumb, it can therefore get difficult to plant them.
;-))

Tea Dyed Doily Scarf

I must confess that in fact I like to crochet doilies – but I don’t want to have them, because I don’t have a clue about what to do with them ;-).
That’s perhaps the reason why I like so much putting together things from squares or the like ;-))

Well, now I can make me such a doily scarf ;-)
I think that you can very well hand-dye it with tea or coffee.
