Advent calender for my parents

It’s become a tradition – and such a great one it is!
Every November I run around to find the last gift for the calendar. The rest has been found or made during the year.

While buying the last gift I found this great wrapping paper/bags in ‘Tiger’ along with the shimmering ribbon. All gifts were wrapped in this and hung on a white hanger with a silver star.

I added small gifttags with numbers and it is now ready to be brought home by my parents.

Black and White table

This table surely has seen better days – so I had to wash it down and remove a bit of the old painting first.

After that it was ready for black spray paint. I planned it all to be black, but then the idea of keeping the inside of the legs white.

So I put on some tape on the table legs and afterwards painted it white
During which the outside light dimmed and I forgot to take pictures.

The final result is here though:

Baking Stone Age bread

Fairly quick and easy since I am using an already mixed blend.
Basically Stone Age bread is oil, seeds, nuts and eggs – and no flour. It gives the bread this absolutely crunchy taste – somewhere in between a snack and bread.

So I added eggs and oil to the blend and stirred it for a while (by hand – to honor the Stone Age ;))

Then poured the mix into small bread forms. Since the bread is so heavy and full of taste, I like to make them small.

Baked the breads for 50 minutes or so… Until they were done
