24 New Recipes // Number 1: Zucchini – Coconut Milk Soup

March 15, 2011

 

Hi readers. :) When I turned 24 in February, I made a list with goals for the new year of my life. One goal was to try out 24 new recipes. Although I have already tried out some new things, I will change this goal a bit and will only count the recipes I post here on my blog, because I want to share them with you and maybe there’s something which you would like to try out, too. :) Concerning cooking, I have to add that I have not eaten any animal (neither meat, nor fish) for more than 4 month now and I do not plan to change this soon. I don’t call myself a vegetarian, because I cannot say for sure whether I will eat meat again one day or not, but currently, I don’t have the desire to do so and I could not eat an animal with a clear conscience. Thus, you will currently only find vegetarian recipes on my blog. :) Although I have always been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and have never been this kind of person who needed meat every day, I am more and more surprised how versatile and delicious vegetarian cuisine can be. :)
So here’s the first recipe which is very easy to make after a stressful day, vegetarian zucchini soup with coconut milk. :)
You need:
– 2 zucchinis
– 1 onion
– Some fresh garlic
– Sheep’s milk cheese
– About 300 ml / about 0,5 pint of vegetable broth
– About 400 ml / about 0,7 pint of coconut milk (approximately one little can from the supermarket)

Chopp the onion and the garlic into tiny pieces and steam both in a saucepan. In the meantime, chopp the zucchinis and add them. Steam everything until it is soft and then add vegetable broth and coconut milk. Let everything shortly boil up, add spices (I used salt, pepper, paprika and chili)  and the sheep’s milk cheese and enjoy your meal. :)

Lu loves sewing: first self-made skirt.

March 13, 2011

Yesterday, Hanna and spent our afternoon in Berlin, walked around, enjoyed the sunny, spring-like weather and bought some fabric. We wanted to go to the new fabric market in Neukölln which takes place every Saturday afternoon, but on our way there we saw a Turkish shop which sells cotton fabric for only 1€ per meter. I bought each one meter of 5 different fabrics in beautiful, bright spring colors (those ones on the next photo except of the 4th fabric), such a good find! :) Afterwards, we went to the fabric market and I bought some laces and zippers and some jersey fabric (the fourth on the photo) for a skirt. It was such a good afternoon and I always enjoy spending as much time as possible in Berlin (it only takes me about 30-60 minutes from Potsdam to Berlin, depending on to which part of the city I want to go). <3
Just after I came home, I put all the new fabrics into the washine mashine and let them dry over night so that I was able to start sewing today. :) I made this skirt today, the first item of clothing I’ve ever sewn for myself so far. :) I didn’t use any tutorial, I just tried it according to the motto ‘learning by doing’ and I must say that I’m quite satisfied with what has come of it. :) Attaching the fabric to the webbing was not that difficult, but I had some problems with the seam on the lower edge, because I have never worked with this kind of jersey fabric before. :) Next time, I want to try it with normal cotton fabric, so I’ll go and buy some more webbing soon. :)
So what do you think, how do you like the skirt? :) I love the color, especially in combination with the coral top I’m wearing on that photo. :)
Happy Sunday evening, 
Lu :)

Shop update: I relisted some brooches and phone pouches.

March 5, 2011

Hi my dearest readers, I just wanted to let you know that I relisted some of the phone pouches and brooches which look like little gameboys. I’ve been sewing them during the last days, because all of them have been sold out. :) So if you want one, visit my shop and let me know if you need any other size. 
Wish you a great weekend!!! :)
