cultivating domesticity: quick and easy frozen yogurt
http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2012/05/quick-and-easy-frozen-yogurt.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. Quick and easy frozen yogurt. If you can open a container of yogurt you can make this recipe. Also if you have an ice cream maker, or can borrow one. Now, you know i like making things myself, including homemade yogurt. Thanks to 101 cookbooks. 3 cups greek style yogurt (or strained yogurt - see below). 2/3 cup sugar (i like my yogurt tangy so i put in a little less). 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional). I made the plain version of this yogurt and loved it. i also made a lilikoi (pass...

cultivating domesticity: diy vinyl decals
http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2012/05/diy-vinyl-stickers.html
Tuesday, May 15, 2012. I got it in my head the other day that i wanted whales in my shower. So when i got my whale urge i stopped over at etsy. To look for whale wall decals, but they were too pricey for me so i decided to make my own. i read somewhere that you can make your own vinyl stickers using regular vinyl you can buy at the grocery or hardware store (think shelf liner section). and it worked! Here's how i did it. Once i had the images i liked i borrowed the projector from work, taped the vinyl on...

Monday, February 14, 2011. Week six: valentines fortune cookies. Marty and i are apart this valentines day, and i wanted to send him with something to open and celebrate our love while he's away. this was a great suggestion by my coworker friend julie: fortune cookies with favorite memories from the past year. she recommended getting nice valentines card stock and a chinese food container from ben franklin (they'll even cut the paper in circles for you there! The real fortune cookie recipes i read said t...

cultivating domesticity: August 2010
http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 8, 2010. I am so excited about worms right now. i’ve been hearing about worm composting for a while, and now that we’re living in a space with a garden (and no curbside composting) we decided to go for it. So the first question is: where do you get worms? This is the blueworm, Perionyx excavatus. As it turns out, there is a worm store. 8211; yes, a store devoted to worm composting –two blocks from our new house. what are the chances of that? So we keep a lid on ours. And that’s it! They...

cultivating domesticity: make your own microwave popcorn
http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2012/05/make-your-own-microwave-popcorn.html
Thursday, May 17, 2012. Make your own microwave popcorn. Did you know that you can make your own microwave popcorn by just putting popcorn kernels in a paper bag? For pointing this out. Making your own popcorn not only saves you $ , but you can control what goes into it - those flavorings and the film left on the microwave popcorn bags you buy in the store always gave me the creeps, and a little googling on the toxicity of microwave popcorn turned up issues with the chemical diacetyl. 8221; as central to...

cultivating domesticity: on popcorn
http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-popcorn.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2008. I've always been a lover of popcorn. to the point where i actually brought along my popcorn popper to summer camp in 6th grade. a girl can't leave home without her favorite kitchen appliances. i learned the hard lesson that year that what goes to summer camp doesn't always return. While you're waiting for your popcorn to cool you can be preparing what goes on top. i really like to experiment with flavors in popcorn, for instance in the photos you see represented here i d...

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Week nine: planting in dresser drawers. Ok, so it's not really "week nine." i'm a whole month behind on my weekly blogging project, so i'm playing catch up here with some projects i did a while ago but that never made an appearance on the blog. We planted all kinds of stuff in the drawers: taro, kale, collards, chili peppers, yerba buena, okra, mustard cabbage, green onions, thyme, tomatoes, basil, sweet potatoes, and some other things that didn't make it like lettuce, cucumbers,...

http://cultivatingdomesticity.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Here's a little video i made about my newest composting system: the bokashi bucket. Bokashi is an anaerobic (lacking oxygen) composting method that essentially pickles your food waste with the help of some special microbes. you can even compost meat and dairy - which I'm stoked about. Magic you can even make your own. Bokashi powder, which i'd like to try when i run out. Here on o'ahu, and then have some pretty great resources on their website. Btw, i'm over apologizing for not p...
