Casa Robino

I couldn't have carried the little mushroom jar to Istanbul-- my bags were packed full as it was, and the snow would have gotten the best of the nutrients stored within and killed or dulled all of them, so I left it at casa.

You, too, can seize the opportunity to take Kombucha powers into your own hands and brew this healthy fermented tea beverage! I already purchased a 2-liter glass container that will hold the fermenting batch (it just has to be sterilized first in boiling water for 20 minutes), and enough raw sugar to last a while.

The link below provides step-by-step instructions:

First I will say this is free of charge.

We are playing tonight (Tue 2-2-2010) at the BIMHUIS. It´s a great place. Actually a special event for me to play at such an amazing venue and with friends.
I hope you can make it. All the music we will play is original (no standards or covers.)

Location:
behind Centraal Station, about 100 mts East.

So, Jeppe brought this up back when we were in Krakow heading towards 7/8/9, and it's come up a number of times since then. I've been looking at the matter constructively, and was wondering what some of the casa folks think...

Do you consider yourself to be freeloading? When you hitch-hike, dumpster dive, squat, etc?

Sure, you're getting something for free, there's no question about that.

And if you've got no money/liquid capital, you've got to live and survive, so living free makes sense...

We've discovered some new dumpsters near to the casa and haven't stopped eating. Some recent finds include: strawberries, lots and lots of parsely, a sink full of tomatoes, fenel, leeks, apricots, spinach, avocados, kiwi, chillies, carrots, potatoes.....not to mention we've been drowning in croissants, pain au chocolate, almond croissants and various other pastries. We even found a lot of beans for kitten to play with.

Perogies, hummus, tabouli, guacamole, kiwi jam, roasted vegetables, pasta madre flat bread....if any one is hungry, please come over and help us eat.
