    Our new house tour

    ByRasa Pelham September 23, 2015January 10, 2026

    I am happy to announce that we have finally bought a house here in Shortstown (sounds a bit American, but be reassured this little town is in England very close to Bedford).  Me and Joni fell in love with the architecture and location of it as soon as we saw it advertised. It was love…

    Spelt churros

    ByRasa Pelham September 12, 2015August 26, 2024

    Churros are one of the things I wanted to try making that involved deep frying. And I finally did it! I made it with spelt flour. Why? Because Joni and me have lately visited the Waffle House in St. Albans (worth visiting if in that part of England) and we tasted the most wonderful savoury…

    ByRasa Pelham September 4, 2015December 3, 2025

    Hey! It’s Autumn here and what is Autumn without canning? I do like to make preserves and when Joni suggested to make piccalilli I got excited as I thought it would be really cool to make it.  Piccalilli is a great condiment that is tasty in sandwiches and pairs well with cheddar cheese. Yum! PICCALILLIMakes…

    A year with books: "Sense and Sensibility" Review

    ByRasa Pelham August 22, 2015August 27, 2024

    It has been a while since I last written a book review. This book was a challenge to begin with and I was putting it off for few months. Because of its old language it was difficult to get into the story, but once I did, it was totally worth it! I think Jane Austin…

    ByRasa Pelham August 19, 2015September 3, 2024

    Flower shaped cat toys (with catnip)

    ByRasa Pelham August 15, 2015January 11, 2026

    Recently I made these flower toys for Leia and she loves them! Why flower shaped? Because I thought it would be funny (for me) and cats don’t care how their toys look like anyways. The key ingredient is catnip which makes any toy cat’s favourite toy! In the past when Leia just entered our home…
