Really? What method are you using? (Ironically, this is one of those things that I run out of. Yes, I know, I know...)

Just out of curiosity, I searched it on Youtube, and found something. I don't know if it works:

Thanks! I'm in my morning Lab, but I'll check it out when done.

I was wondering if I could make that simmer-down version (plus Stevia or the like), plus whipping cream work with this: https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-mak...-kitchn-220413

I don't see why not. Sweetened/condensed is just evap with a (very high) sugar level.

Hmmmmmm.....

Just got accepted to have a one-on-one interview about healthcare. Extra $50 dollars for me to provide my views on the current state of healthcare.

Ching!

I just made a new swatch card for my new watercolor set. The set came with a swatch card but the tin had space for four more half pans, which I got today. However, on the supplied swatch card there wasn't space for four more swatches. So I made a new one.

I'm also considering getting a binder and make big swatches of every set I have (yes, I should join watercolor anonymous), there I can add full information of each color (name, number, pigments, opacity and staining, where available).

Now it's time for some reading and then listening to the latest There's No Such Thing As A Fish podcast.

Won't Catholics and other Lent participants be disappointed to hear this?

I have a small Billy bookcase in my bedroom in which I kept my reference books; dictionaries, some anthologies, etc. However, I can't remember the last time I used a paper dictionary and the other reference books I haven't needed either.

This morning I put away those books, cleaned the shelves and turned into watercolour and sketching storages. On the top shelf I keep my watercolour sets and my pencil tins. The middle shelf is for paper; pads, sketchbooks and colouringbooks, and on the bottom shelf I keep books and miscellaneous items. My brushes are stored in a mug on a build in shelf next to the bookcase.

I've also secured my newest watercolour set, a Schmincke Horadam 48 half pan set, with a elastic band. When I was swatching the colours last week Maru kept wanting to lick the paints and since some of them contain metals I don't think that's a good idea. I think it must be the oxgall mixed in with the colours she's interested in. She can be very persistent when she wants something, hopefully the band will prevent her from opening the palette.

We're fine. It's close to my my sister's place, who was at work at the time. My father and I were running errands when it became clear it's probably a terrorist attack. We were under way to the Ikea when we saw the police close off a bigger area.

A lot of stores (those that are open on Monday) closed. We're adviced to stay indoors.

It's a strange time and place for a terrorist attack. It's not a time that the tram is very busy.

Glad you're okay. As soon as I heard the name of the place, I thought of you. :-)
