Plaster Bead Tray
When you work with beads a dish with single trays is a great help.
Such a tutorial on how to make a bead tray dish suits me just fine, then ;-)

Recycle Your Soap Scraps
In the end one can hardly use up the thin slice of soap and usually one throws it away.
What a pity, because these soap scraps are a wonderful und free source to occupy oneself with soap making ;-)

Roman Pear Soufflee
Recently I’ve seen a documentary about the Romans and I found the dishes they presented interesting.
There I learned that a certain Apicius wrote a cookbook that you still can get today (see links below).
Searching on I found this picture here and I found that this Roman Pear Soufflee looks delicious.
So I looked how to prepare it and really found an English recipe. They said in the film that the Roman dishes were a haphazard mixture of sweet, hearty and hot from today’s perspective.
And can you believe it? They put Garum even in the pear soufflee where I first thought that it would be sweet!
Even so I want to find the ingredients and give it a try ;-)
