Good morning, good afternoon, or good night to all of you!
It’s hard to find Asian foods and ingredients in Turkey, but in Amsterdam, it’s not a big deal. They have Chinatown, and I visited one. I bought rice paper, gochujang, crispy chili oil, ramen, noodles, and enoki mushrooms. I tried making one of my sister’s friend’s recipes. First, add water, seasoning, and gochujang to a pot and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, add the noodles (I used Shin Ramyun). After boiling for a few minutes, add your enoki mushrooms—make sure they are clean. Let it cook for a few more minutes, then take it off the heat and plate it. For toppings, I used green onions and furikake. It tasted amazing—definitely a must-try! That’s it for today. I will blog you guys laterrrrrr:P
Good morning, good afternoon, or good night to everyone!
We visited my sister, who lives in Haarlem, and I wanted to make something special for her. I decided to bake tiramisu, and she absolutely loved it! It took me two hours to finish because I made everything from scratch—even the ladyfingers.
To make the ladyfingers, you need eggs, sugar, cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and salt. It might sound like a lot, but the process only takes about 40–60 minutes, including 10–15 minutes of baking time.
As for the tiramisu itself, it takes about 70 minutes (50 minutes of preparation and 20 minutes of baking) and requires nine ingredients: eggs, flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, vanilla extract, milk, coffee, and warm water. It might look tricky at first, but believe me—it’s a piece of cake! Well that’s it for today. I will blog you guys laterrrr:D
Good morning good afternoon or good night to all of you guys!
27th of November I baked tiramisu for our History Culture and Istanbul clubs bazaar. To finance the club’s activities we, club members organized this bazaar. It took me 2 hours to finish because I did everything from scratch. Even the ladyfingers. For ladyfingers you need eggs, sugar, cornstarch, flour, backing powder and salt. It might seem a lot but it takes 40 to 60 minutes to make. (10-15 minute backing included) Tiramisu takes 50+20 minutes backing = 70 minutes and 9 ingredients. Eggs, flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, vanilla extract, milk, and coffee and warm water. It should out so quick. I never had a chance to buy a piece. :( But asked few of the buyers and apparently it tasted amazing. That it for today. I will blog you guys laterrrr :P
Good morning good afternoon or good night to all of you guys!
I love Dubai chocolate. Like a lot… Please don’t make fun of me :( Im getting straight to the point: I wanted to make it at home. Well I did it and the result?? It was amazing!!
To make it you need chocolate(milk and white), pistachio, milk, heavy cream, kadayıf and optional tahini and food coloring. Melt white chocolate optional add food coloring and pour into the mold. This will decorate our chocolate. Melt milk chocolate and pour a layer into the mold. To make the pistachio cream add pistachios, heavy cream and milt to a blander. Tahini is optional. Roast your kadayif, remove from the heat and mix with the pistachio cream. You are basically done at this point. Add a layer of your kadayif and pistachio mixture and a layer of chocolate. Bon appétit. Well that’s it for today I will blog you guys laterrrr :P
Good morning good afternoon or good night to all of you guys!
On November 10th I was feeling a bit bored so I decided to paint my electronic guitar. I used acrylics to paint it. There is this game that I enjoy called Overwatch2 and there is a character called Widowmaker. I got inspired by her and painted a black widow spider on my guitar. Here is a pic of the character and my inspiration photo. It took me one and a half hours to finish and I’m so proud of myself. Maybe I should continue painting my guitar?? I don’t know. well that’s it for today!! I will blog you guys laterrrr!! :P
Good morning good afternoon or good night to all of you guys! Today, I want to write about my guitar practices and private lessons.
On November 13, I had I had my first best guitar private lesson. (1 hour) I was so excited for this. I literally bought a bass guitar for this. I know that I be wants us to learn things so I wanted to learn how to play bass guitar. I used to play acoustic and electronic guitar now it’s my time to shine once again with bass guitar. I’ll be sharing my journey with you. I want to learn bass guitar and play in school activities, and concerts. My first song to play on bass was Hysteria by Muse. It wasn’t a hard song to play, but I had a bit of trouble getting used to the guitar. Well that’s it for today.
I will blog you guys laterrrr!! Have a nice day :D
Good morning, good afternoon or good night to every one of you!!
This painting took 2 lessons (2x2hours = 4 hours) for me to finish. I tried using spatula for the first time! Well it looks easy but it takes time to get used to it. It was fun to try new ways and new techniques. I did this one for my future art exhibition but after the exhibition I will give this painting to my mother. She loved it! I am so excited for my future art exhibition and I’m working hard for it :D.
That’s it for today I will blog you laterrr. <3
Good morning, good afternoon or good night to every one of you!!
This painting took 3 lessons (3x2 hours = 6 hours) to finish. Lots of tears, sweat and blood… After painting jellyfish I’ve noticed that I loved painting sea animals. That’s the reason why I tried making octopus. It was a bit pain to paint it. All the details and color changes. It was a bit stressful. And again I’m happy with the results. Thats it for today. I will blog you guys laterrrrr :D
Good morning, good afternoon or good night to all of you guys. Today I am going to start writing what I’ve have done so far for CAS.
On November first I had painting lesson. I worked on canvas and used acrylics to paint it. My first session lasted two hours and I was so excited because it was my first time learning how to use acrylic paints. In the past I have tried using acrylic paintings on my own but didn't really know much about it. How to use and the techniques... Well I will be posting my painting here but remember, this is my first time learning and taking lesson about it. I'm learning and having fun at the same time.
Fun fact about me I do my best to recycle. When it comes to my sisters old canvas I paint them all white to repaint. Sustainability is a topic that I’m sensitive about. Thats an another days topic though. I want to open a painting exhibition and my theme is nature. In this exhibiton all canvases are reused. I wanted to make a difference. I will be posting about these paintings a lot. Like a lot... :P I hope you guys will love the results. I'll be sharing my journey (a colorful one;P ) with you all. Every friday I will post about my painting that I’ve done that day. This week I will try to post as much as I can. (I am a bit behind the calender ooops)
This painting took 4 hours to make. At first, my strokes were weak, and I painted with fear. I was nervous and scared of making mistakes. But I’d had enough! I decided to trust myself. I started putting the colors where they felt right to me—with brave paint strokes :P. My teacher used to tell me (no need to be dramatic; she still tells me the same thing ehe ehe :D), “Sevde, trust and believe in yourself. You can always fix your mistakes with more paint.” And… she was right. I believed in myself, and now I’m proud of the final product. This is the first piece for my art exhibition!!!
Good morning, good afternoon or good night. My name is Sevde Ekmen, I am a 16 year old IB student. I will be posting about what I do for CAS and how I do it. I hope this would give ideal to the ones who need ideas.
This is my first year in IB program. I’m taking 3 Hl and 3 Sl lessons.
Good morning, good afternoon, or good night to all of you! I love to try new foods from diffrent countries. My sister requested Korean hot...
