Saturday Drawings - #6

This is already the sixth version of Saturday Drawings ! Wow, time flies really fast.
Every thime I'm working for school, watching a movie or reading a book I have the wildest ideas for new dishes. Normally, I go back to the thing I was doing and forget them. But now I have bought a new notebook with blank pages, where I write, or better described: sketch, the ideas. At this way, I only have to take a look through the pages to get an explosion of inspiration.
So, today I've collected three sketches I made the last weeks.
Side note: I'm so sorry for my ugly handwriting..

Birthday Haul (Cookbooks)

Today I'm going to show you the cookbooks I got on my birthday, wich was at the 6th may. I wanted to wait a few moments till writing this article, because there are always some late-birthday presents from people who didn't have time to come earlier. In this article, I will write some short information, the price and the overall experience. Just like a short bookreview !
I'm extremely happy to have these new books, they give me always a bunch of inspirations. One book is something more special and extraordinary than the rest, but I'll show you that later.

Short trip to Paris !

Last weekend ma parents, sister and I went for a short trip to lovely Paris ! It was the third time in my life I went to Paris, and every trip seems like a whole new city. Not even one day is the same and that's something that makes me love the city. No matter how late it is, there are still people on the street, the café's and restaurants are cosy full and the view is in every street breathtaking.
And, of course, the food is extremely delicious, the smell of the bakeries filled the whole street and on every corner there is a pastry shop.
Today I'll show some (typical) Paris pictures and two beautiful things I bought !

Saturday Drawings - #5

Every time I watch other drawings I can see something that all of them has the same. There are as little as possible lines drawed. It fascinates me how beautiful it looks when someone is really good in drawing with that method.
That's why I've tried this method for the first time. I took something simple to draw and practised it a little bit. It isn't that easy as it looks like ! I have a long way to go till my drawings are as good as other peoples drawing, but I enjoyed it very much.

Blueberrie Muffins with pieces of soft Caramel

Muffins are perfect for any moment of the day. They're easy to make, easy to take with you and, of course, easy to eat. On the internet and in books are so many recipes, even healthy ones !
Today I wanted to combine two of my favorite classic muffins: blueberrie and caramel. Again, it was 100 % a experiment, as I walked in to the kitchen after a long day school and just made the muffins out of my fantasy. They turned out moist and soft, and have a crunchy crust.
Side note: the cute cup next to the muffin is one of my birthday presents my parents got me. :)

Some small changings

I've decided to take The Sketched Chef to a little level higher. So there will be some small changings here.

 The first thing I tought a long time about is the language. I'm writing it in English and Dutch, but I can see the indistinctness between them. I want to write in English only, but I think that skill is not good enough. But on the other hand, if I never try I'll never know. Maybe my English will be a lot more better after a couple of months. My Dutch readers, I'm sorry to say but the articles will be in English from now on.

The second thing is the websitename from The Sketched Chef. As you can see, I am blogging in Blogspot, but I really want to buy my own domain. Is there someone who has some great tips for me ? I don't even know how to start with it, so I could use some help.

The third thing will be about advertisement. I'm thinking about the fact of putting one or two small blocks on my blog. There wouldn't be big blocks and especially not pop-ups. I think these are annoying to everyone.

The fourth and the last thing is the lay-out. I know the lay-out at the moment is not something to be proud of, but the first moment I will have some more time I will definitely make something a lot more better than this one, I promise !

Ik heb besloten om The Sketched Chef een stapje hoger te zetten. Daarom zullen er wat kleine aanpassingen komen.

Het eerste ding, waar ik ontzettend lang over na heb gedacht, is de taal van mijn blog. Ik schrijf nu in het Engels en Nederlands, maar ik zie heel vaak onduidelijkheid en onoverzichtelijkheid. Ik zou heel graag alleen in het Engels willen schrijven, maar ik denk dat die vaardigheid nog niet goed genoeg is. Als ik het nooit probeer, zal ik het ook nooit weten. Aan de andere kant denk ik ook dat het misschien wel binnen een paar maanden zou verbeteren. Nederlandse lezers, het spijt me ontzettend om te zeggen dat de teksten vanaf nu alleen nog maar in het Engels zullen zijn.

Het tweede punt van verandering is de websitenaam van The Sketched Chef. Zoals je al kunt zien, ik blog nu onder Blogspot, maar ik zou erg graag mijn eigen domein willen kopen. Is hier iemand die heeft goede tips voor kan geven ? Ik weet niet eens hoe en waar ik kan beginnen, dus ik zou wat hulp kunnen gebruiken.

Het derde onderdeel gaat over advertenties. Ik denk over het feit na om een of twee kleine blocks op mijn blog te plaatsen. Er zullen zeker geen grote blocks of pop ups komen, aangezien ik weet dat iedereen dit erg irritant vindt. 

Het vierde en laatste punt is de lay-out. Ik weet dat de lay-out van nu niet bepaald iets is om trots op te zijn. Zodra ik een moment van meer tijd over zal hebben, zal ik direct beginnen aan het maken van een nieuwe. Die zal een stuk mooier zijn dan deze van nu, dat beloof ik !

It's my birthday !

On sixth may 1995 I was born in Utrecht. And today I am finally 18!
I also tought this would be a perfect moment to introduce myself a little bit more. My blog was anonymous, because I didn't how blogging would be and if I liked it or not. But after almost 3 months I know it for sure, this is something I love !

Op zes mei 1995 was ik in Utrecht geboren. En vandaag word ik dan eindelijk 18 !
Ik bedacht me net, dat dit een perfect moment zal zijn om me wat meer voor te kunnen stellen. Mijn blog was tot nu toe anoniem, omdat ik niet zo goed wist of ik het wel aan kon en het leuk zou vinden. Maar na bijna 3 maanden weet ik het wel zeker: dit is iets wat ik absoluut leuk vind !
