Handmade Gypsy: March 2011
http://handmadegypsy.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Chai Brownies (Take 2). This is my second go at Chai brownies, as the first. Resulted in something more like cardamom bars :) I was a bit more cautious with the added ingredients this time, and the result is far superior! Either way, buy a SMALL quantity - you don't need much and it doesn't keep forever. Use the leftover in Indian curries, Indian Butter Chicken. Add a bit to homemade granola, and more. Cardamom, mortar and pestle. Based on Steve's favorite Jungle Camp. In Englis...

Handmade Gypsy: November 2010
http://handmadegypsy.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 14, 2010. I performed last night for the first time - well, my first more-or-less choreographed time, at least - with my wonderful bellydance ladies. We danced to History Repeating. And our costumes included fedoras and pearls. Pearls, I have (had) only a few of. Shopping! My fedora, complete with feathers (kindly donated by a bird who got his wings clipped at work) and a few little pearls. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Sockarms. At $5 tops, a bargain. And ridiculously easy. When it come...

Friday, January 1, 2010. Amigumicrobes #1: Cold Virus (#2). Cold Virus #2 entered the world in much better fashion than it's sibling, and a pattern is complete. Materials: G hook, worsted weight yarn, safety eyes, stuffing. Ch, sc, "bud". Special stitch: the "bud".

Handmade Gypsy: Yogurt Toppers
http://handmadegypsy.blogspot.com/2011/02/yogurt-toppers.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. I love plain yogurt with a dash of sugar or agave nectar and a few fresh or frozen berries. Not everyone [in my house] is so thrilled with this. For those who prefer something a bit more like store-bought yogurt, here is my solution:. 4-5 Cups fresh or frozen fruit. 1 Tablespoon corns tarch - this thickens the sauce so it doesn't water down your yogurt without being chunky. 1/2 Cup jam or jelly. Sugar to taste - I used about a tablespoon for the recipe. Rambling yarns from the C...

Handmade Gypsy: Chai Brownies (Take 1)
http://handmadegypsy.blogspot.com/2011/02/chai-brownies.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. Chai Brownies (Take 1). One of my all-time favorite loose leaf teas is Wegmans. Chocolate Chai. The flavors go together so nicely for the perfect mid-winter hot drink, no sugar needed. That tea is the inspiration for these brownies. Now, I know there are plenty other recipes out there for chai brownies, but can there really be too many options for something so promising? So here is my attempt. Based on Steve's favorite Jungle Camp. Preheat oven to 325 F. Dash ground black pepper.
