today's dinner involved, among other things, Swedish crispbread¹ made from rye flour from Piedmont, Genoese Prescinsêua² and smoked herring from Norway.
¹ The recipe I used for the crispbread came from nordickitchenstories.co.uk/201… , but the recipe on the website isn't the same as the one that they had in March 2021: it had water instead of milk and no oil
² a dairy product similar to ricotta, a bit more sour

Nella cena di stasera, tra le altre cose, c'è stato del knäckebröd¹ fatto con farina di segale del Piemonte, Prescinsêua² genovese e aringa affumicata norvegese.
¹ la ricetta che uso per il knäckebröd arriva da nordickitchenstories.co.uk/201… , ma rispetto a Marzo 2021 l'hanno cambiata, una volta c'era acqua al posto del latte e niente olio
² un latticino simile alla ricotta, un pelo più acido

MOAR Slippers
Posted on March 7, 2025

A couple of years ago, I made myself a pair of slippers in linen with a braided twine soleand then another pair of hiking slippers: I am happy to report that they have been mostly a success.
Now, as I feared, the white linen fabric wasn’t a great choice: not only it became dirt-grey linen fabric in a very short time, the area under the ball of the foot was quickly consumed by friction, just as it usually happens with bought slippers.
I have no pictures for a number of reasons, but trust me when I say that they look pretty bad.
However, the sole is still going strong, and the general concept has proved valid, so when I needed a second pair of slippers I used the same pattern, with a sole made from the same twinebut this time with denim taken from the legs of an old pair of jeans.
To make them a bit nicer, and to test the technique, I also added a design with a stencil and iridescent black acrylic paint (with fabric medium): I like the tone-on-tone effect, as it’s both (relatively) subtle and shiny.
Then, my partner also needed new slippers, and I wanted to make his too.
His preference, however, is for open heeled slippers, so I adjusted the pattern into a new one, making it from an old pair of blue jeans, rather than black as mine.
He also finds completely flat soles a bit uncomfortable, so I made an heel with the same braided twine technique: this also seems to be working fine, and I’ve also added these instructions to the braided soles ones
Both of these have now been work for a few months: the jeans is working much better than the linen (which isn’t a complete surprise) and we’re both finding them comfortable, so if we’ll ever need new slippers I think I’ll keep using this pattern.
Now the plan is to wash the linen slippers, and then look into repairing them, either with just a new fabric inner sole + padding, or if washing isn’t as successful as I’d like by making a new fabric part in a different material and reusing just the twine sole. Either way they are going back into use.

And today I have been reminded of the existence of a daily suburban #train that runs from just into the Po Valley (Malpensa Airport) to the last sizable village before the Gotthard pass / old rail tunnel (Airolo)
For some value of suburban, I guess :D

Oggi l'universo mi ha fatto ricordare l'esistenza di un #treno suburbano quotidiano che viaggia da subito dentro la pianura Padana (Malpensa) all'ultimo paese significativo prima del passo / vecchio tunnel ferroviario del Gottardo (Airolo)
Per qualche valore di suburbano :D

Per chi volesse replicare il progetto, la lista dei componenti è la seguente:
1-Adattatore da stampare in 3D oc.kirgroup.net/index.php/s/6C…
2-Un mammuth a 2 posizioni per collegare i cavi della ventola
3-Carbone attivo in grani
4-Un foglio di Tulle
5-Una ventola per pc da 120mm completa di grata in metallo o plastica
6-viti con dado per il fissaggio della ventola all'adattatore
7-Un alimentatore da 12-9V (la ventola fatta funzionare a 9V è silenziosissima)
8-Pistola e colla a caldo per fissare il foglio di tulle
