In Jesus’ time, the smallest homes of the very poor might be little more than a square, stone structure covered with a whitewashed sort of stucco.

Some houses in hilly regions were partial cave dwellings, built up against the … Continue reading "What were typical homes like in Jesus’time?"

Update 19-05-2018 Thanks to my wonderful tester Noelene Sampey I was able to make a revised version of the Bergenia square. Be sure to get the latest version, which is number 3! ~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe you have come across Arietis? Well, Bergenia is her big sister! Although this pattern looks complex, it’s really easy to make and repetitive enough to make it a calming pattern to make. Each round is quite simple, but together and in combination with the ombre colours they form a lovely, hypnotic pattern. Both Arietis and Bergenia find their inspiration in the wonderful Nomad by Fate patterns of Martin Up North. This square measures 25 x 25 cm (10 x 10 inches) when it’s made in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, but it can easily be extended. You will need only small amounts of this yarn for one square. The stitches that are used are normal stitches like sc, hdc, dc, fpdc, fptr. You will also be making stitches in the back loops only. Nothing too hard! This pattern is available as an On Screen and a Printerfriendly version. You will recieve them both. The price of this pattern is equal to one skein of my favorite yarn (Scheepjes Catona) at my favorite yarn shop (CR Couture in Rhoon). So by donating this you will make both me and my yarn shop really happy! Have fun with Bergenia! Cindy ~~~~~~~~~~ Heb je Arietis gezien? Maak dan nu kennis met Bergenia, haar grote zus! Dit patroon mag er dan complex uitzien, dat is het niet om te maken. Het doet me aan een Zentangle denken: iedere lijn die je daarbij maakt, is niet bijzonder of moeilijk, maar als je na verloop van tijd wat afstand neemt, ben je telkens weer verbaasd over het resultaat. De combinatie van de steken en het ombre kleurverloop zorgen voor dit hypnotiserende effect. Zowel Arietis als Bergenia zijn geïnpireerd op de prachtige Nomad by Fate patronen van Martin Up North. Het vierkant is 25 x 25 cm als je het maakt in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, maar het kan heel makkelijk groter gemaakt worden. Het patroon gaat je vanzelf de weg wijzen. Je hebt maar kleine hoeveelheden van de verschillende kleuren nodig voor één Bergenia. De steken die gebruikt worden in het patroon zijn gewone steken zoals vaste, (halve) stokjes en reliëfsteken voorlangs en je werkt voor het grootste gedeelte alleen in de achterste lussen van de steken. Niets ingewikkelds! Je ontvangt het patroon als een Printvriendelijke en een Scherm versie. De prijs van dit patroon is gelijk aan één bolletje van mijn favoriete garen (Scheepjes Catona) bij mijn favoriete wolwinkel (CR Couture in Rhoon). Als je dit patroon aanschaft maak je ons allebei dus heel erg blij ;-) Veel plezier met Bergenia! Cindy

These rich, soft, gooey, five layer bars are a riff on Seven Layer Bars. They’re made with shredded coconut, chocolate and white chocolate chips, and rather than sweetened condensed milk, use dulce de leche. It’s thick, rich, caramely and available in many grocery stores, online, or make your own (see blog post). The recipe calls for half of one can, and the unused portion can be used as ice cream topping, smeared on toast, as a fruit dip, in your coffee or tea, or double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 pan, thereby using the whole can. The dulce de leche caramelizes and turns golden and bubbly, but keep an eye on bars and lower oven temp to 325F or tent pan with foil if yours is browning a bit too quickly or too much. The bars are a texture lovers’ dream, and they’re made in own bowl, no mixer, in less than 5 minutes. Cooling the bars overnight is recommended.

And they can be turned into glorious sundaes: squodge into glasses with ice cream, pour a little maple syrup over, and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

Angel food cake has always been a favorite dessert of mine, so I decided to make a vegan angel food cake version! This cake is all you have dreamed about and even more. I prepare this on every occasion I get. Notes An angel food cake is challenging enough to prepare, however, a vegan one is an even larger challenge. To ensure that this version turns great for you, I suggest that you read the whole article. It’s best to spare 10 minutes extra than to waste every penny and second make something that fails. Is This Vegan Angel Food Cake Worth Your Time and Energy? If you are on the hunt for a plant-based alternative to this divine sweet cake, this recipe is totally worth it. Similar to its original counterpart it has: -A greatly fluffy texture and fine taste -Lower calories compared to the real thing -Lower fat-one 1g of fat/slice You also need only 20 minutes to prepare it, despite the several steps involved in making it. Ingredients for Making Vegan Angel Food Cake: This recipe requires only six ingredients and therefore it’s best to measure these with caution and do not use any replacements if possible. Follow the recipe to a T! Aquafaba: a liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas that is a great replacement for egg whites. If you whip it up, it will become the best vegan “meringue”. Cream of tartar: this an acid substance that helps set aquafaba when beaten. Ground sugar: beat the regular sugar granules in a food processor or blender until finely dissolved into fine powder. Vanilla extract: for extra aroma and flavor Chickpea flour: a typical vegan egg replacer that helps set the meringue. All-purpose flour: use just one cup and tbsp of all-purpose flour passed through a sifter. Pin Ingredients: -¾ cup aquafaba (the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas) -1 tbsp vanilla extract -1 cup & 1 tbsp all-purpose flour -1 cup granulated sugar -1 tbsp chickpea flour 1 ½ tsp cream of tartar Instructions: Preheat your oven at 330F/165C. Beat the granulated sugar into fine sugar in a blender or food processor. Place ¾ cup of aquafaba liquid into a big mixing bowl with vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Whip for 6 minutes minimum with a hand mixer initially on low and then slowly at higher speed. Incorporate the powdered sugar gradually in several parts while beating up the meringue on high speed for a couple of minutes. Once you have beaten the aquafaba for 8 minutes at least, grab a tbsp of the chickpea flour and beat for an extra minute or so. In three increments, gradually sift the flour combo into the egg mix through a mesh strainer, while carefully folding in with a rubber spatula after every part. To prevent any shrinking and loss of cake volume, don’t add the flour mixture in one part. Add gradually in multiple increments. Place and spread the batter into an unprepared 9X10” cake tubular pan. Shake the pan on a flat surface to even out the bottom. Bake your vegan angel cake until you add a toothpick and it turns out clean, for approx. 45-50 minutes. Take off the oven and let cool (while it’s still in the pan) for 2-3 hours. Once it’s cooled down, pass a small knife around the edges to gently detach the cake from the pan. If you wish, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Serve with fresh berries on top and a small part of vegan whipping cream.
