amsterdam, DIY, food, petits-pierres, television
- NEON, ZIG-ZAG, AND VARIOUS COLORED TEXTILE ELECTRICAL CABLES FOR DO-IT-YOURSELF LIGHTING — Find the Nud Collection in Amsterdam at the De Kinderfeestwinkel, or go to Frozen Fountain for slightly less attractive, but cheaper cord at €2.50 per meter.
- JUST BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE HUMBLE PIE DOESN’T MEAN WE CAN SHARE A SLICE RAINBOW CAKE — With Glenn Beck, Pastor Jones, and Geert Wilders all being complete dickheads at the moment, I thought it would be nice if we all took a moment to bake a cake.
- MAKE CORN TORTILLAS JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU USED TO GET AT THAT LIQUOR STORE ON VENICE BOULEVARD — ‘t is zo makkelijk! Mix a little Masa Harina (Tjin’s €5.50) with water, flatten with a tortilla press (Duikelman €30), and heat with a flat iron skillet!
- TURN YOUR DEFUNCT IPOD INTO A BABY MOBILE — Since I can’t find a mobile with decent lullaby music, I’m using my Elecom Soundblock speaker I bought from my last trip to Japan to play the soothing tracks of Animal Crossing Wild World. Tip: 1) Using a later version ipod will allow you to put the iPod to sleep with a timer which is helpful if you plan to loop short songs; 2) More video game soundtracks here.
- CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL — Watch ex-Party Downers Meghan Mullally and Ken Marino try their hand surgery. Is that Adam Scott I see making a cameo?
