Bathroom update

[aimeekitty]

It starts out mostly muggle. The candleholders are from our old mantle from Illuminations... the towelholder is from TARGET.


I couldn't resist this Kappa wall hanging. Note, that the Kappa has a cucumber, so he's sated and not planning on eating you while you take a bath.


Also geeky is my Tatooine print. I love how the colors match the bathroom!


TOTALLY UNRELATED:
I made cinnamon rolls from scratch using a yeast that I keep in my fridge (from my mom) and feed every week. I think maybe I fed it a little too much because this is what I came home to. haha. really easy to clean up, though. The rolls turned out nice, but I think I overcooked them a tiny bit.


OMAKE YOUTA

I love that kappa wall hanging so much.

I've been loving what you've been doing with your guest bathroom, but I really love that Tatooine print. Thanks for linking the seller so I have some arts to contemplate!

Very cool bathroom. And the doughsplosion is hilarious!

Hee: doughsplosion!

I love the kappa :)

I wish I had that problem with yeast, mine seems to be a bit sluggish on getting its puff on :(

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

do you heat it up a little bit?

[mabdese.livejournal.com]

I use the stuff in the packet and mix with hot water (I check the temp of the water with the thermometer and everything, hardcore baking) but when I make bread it always seems a little sad. I just assume I'm unlucky because it always comes out tasty enough at the end just never quite "doubles in size" even if it's super warm. Definitely not an overflowing bowl like that XD

I'm using a yeast (kept in liquid alive form in the fridge) that I've been keeping and feeding every week, so I don't know if that makes a difference. Then when I actually make bread, I add more of the yeast from a packet with some warm water and dissolved sugar.
If the water is too hot, it'll actually kill some of the yeast.
I make the dough with that yeast and then save the rest in the fridge

then I set the oven for a very low temp, let it cool off a bit and put the dough in the oven. (so it's just warm all day, not cooking the dough, that would be bad). I let it rise for at least 3 hours, and then make the bread, and then let it raise for at least another 3 hours.

but maybe we have different climate or something, too.

I've meant to ask you...what do you feed yeast that is kept in the fridge? I've honestly never heard of that before...of course, I'm not a baker either. I'm assuming it's way better than the yeast you buy in power form at the store.

cool bathroom...and the Kappa and the cucumber..lol. :P

so cute! and aye the yeast, were you afraid it would be an "I Love Lucy" episode? :P

omg your bathroom looks like one that should be in a model house hahaha

Just came here to say your icon cracks me up :D

[poisonedwriter.livejournal.com]

I find it ironic that your print depicting a desert planet fits in so well in the bathroom. xD

love the omake youta <3

[mint-cake.livejournal.com]

Do I see a Kappa in your bathroom? How cute! :D

[arkadia.livejournal.com]

Where did you get the Kappa hanging? It's adorable! Also, I love the bits of geek you've incorporated in :)

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I got it in Little Tokyo, that shop across from the pancake store that has like eyelashes and bathgoods and ceramics.... :)

First thing I noticed and loved was that Tatooine print. It's awesome. :D

And I think Youta and Mo are related. He also does the "stretching out bellyside up in the sunlight" business. Fluff included.

Tatooine poster FTW! I love star wars! :D

I am squealing over the Kappa with a cucumber. My sister had gotten note cards with the same sort of images from a friend spending vacation time in Japan.

[blastmilk.livejournal.com]

Needs kappa! OH EM GEE.

Also ♥ Youta forever.

Mr. Kallisti sez "you two should just trade cat photos." and pass them off as eachother.
