Uahhhh… 🙁 I went to the basement today and discovered this. Seems I’ll have to defrost the fridge (actually, both of my fridges) to make sure they work properly again. Here’s how to do it (this is a manly hint):
Here is another recovery/upcycling project which I finished yesterday. I found an old and dirty potato press on eBay that I was able to restore sufficiently to fulfill my needs. Now it won’t crush any potatoes anymore, but serve as a larger vessel for pressing homemade cheese instead 🙂
Unexpectedly, we had two days of good weather here and I took the chance to try the backyard rocket for real for the first time. It’s a real litlle devil, burning hot and vigorously (I assume because of the chimney effect) and radiating a lot of heat. When it’s hot enough and the lid is on it even burns almost smokeless!
I got hands on a beautiful small antique pepper grinder, made from brass and with beautiful decorations. It was not in a too desolate condition, but it needed some cleaning, some polishing and the grinding gear was stuck.
I made a new round of my Codsworth-Cheese that is now sitting in the fridge at the moment to cure. Seasoned with a little oregano and painstakingly washed daily with cheese brine for 5 days it was then left to dry.
Formerly known as “Patio Oven and Wok Burner from an old Fire Extinguisher” – Part I and Part II 🙂
But, looking at it and observing it for while, I like “The Backyard Rocket” much better… I deem it finished so far and waiting for action. Unfortunately, work has me again and I didn’t have a chance of firing it up and have a shot at it, but I like the outcome so far and I will put it to use as soon as I can.
I made another plate of homegrown micarta. This time in red – afaik, the fabric was a window curtain in its former life. Since it says „back to the grindstone“ for me these days, I wonder when I might be able to put it to use 🙁
