Kitchen Experiment: honey wafers

I was reading Ezekiel, the performance artist prophet who made that weird bread, and there was a line about "fine flour, olive oil, and honey" that got me thinking wafers. So I invented this recipe.

Note: these things bake really fast don't leave them unattended in the oven.

Preheat oven to 350F(ish, the numbers on my dial are rubbed off)

ingredients:
1 cup flour
1/8 cup olive oil
salt
honey
water

In a bowl mix flour, salt, and oil as if making pastry. Add water slowly to form a soft dough. Divide into small balls, roll them out thin. Place on baking sheet. Drizzle with honey. Bake for up to 5min but watch them your goal is to have them crisp not burnt! Enjoy.

These make a good vehicle for fruit or ice cream.

April was a long time ago...like 5 months. I could say I was busy and that would be sort of true but I think more than anything else I was distracted so I didn't post all the wonderful things I was working on.

So let's get this thing started.

I've got an album with the pictures of the projects I'm referencing up on my G+ profile Link

June I started taking pictures of the nylon ball I've been working on back stage at miXtape. You can currently see it's progress through August.

Also in June we put the finishing touches on the house remodel. I have a picture of the group installation in the dining room in the album.

July I finally got around to making curtains for my "office."

August I took a picture of a little Godzilla.

September I finished the Red River Jacket, a lovely little table cloth, and Hobbs! Hobbs is a gift for a friend of a friend's kid. The table cloth was just a whack-out to keep me from going mad. The Red River Jacket is the tangible result of a road trip. Ask me about it later.

Yarn Ring

Yarn ring:

I "invented" this ring after being given a piece of yarn with some spiritual significance for me. The challenge was to find a way to incorporate it's presence in my daily life. Most of the others who also got this yarn tied it to various objects. My instinct was to tie it to myself but I wanted it to be more permanent than just knotting it on.

I wove it into a loop and sprayed it with a polycrylic finish spray. Now I wear it as a pinkie ring.

If you want to know the meaning of the ring you'll have to ask me in person.

From that Last Post to March

OK yeah, it's been a while since the last update...

book bag I made for my Father who is a member of the Audubon Society.

Visual Art:

I haven't been doing a lot of visual stuff lately. This does sadden me.

Writing:

had a reading of Erick Tree.
and working on some mind-dump piece that other people might call a memoir.

House Remodel:

is in the finishing phase, finally!

Future:

I'm planing on starting grad school in the fall. This will be interesting...
Some times I plan things and they don't happen.

Kitchen Experiment: beet dye hair

 

what you will need

 

take equal parts beet juice and vinegar

 

section out hair

 

dunk hair

 

dry it out

 

comb and style.

Beet juice makes a lovely pink color in light hair this doen't work well in dark hair. It's not permanent and will wash out in a few washes.

 

I'm shooting a little PSA today. These are props for it.

Yes Fingerless gloves (also armwarmers). This pair scrunches nicely. It's the 80's for your arms. I'll take orders if you want your own.

While I was cutting wood for a built-in loft bed (see below) I stacked the waist wood to make this tower. It would be way cool if this was like 20times bigger. I don't know if that's actually possible.

The built-in is for the second room in the reno project. Which is done but we still need to clean it up for photographing.

The other projects:

Music:
I'm loading stuff to my sound cloud account

Writing:
Tsegan made some progress but is going to take for ever
The Irish Pirate Ninja is stalled

Other:
I'm going back to school. But I'm doing it "ghetto" style! Should be interesting.
