 One of my objectives this year was to improve my know-how skills through making experiments. I also wanted to see how including making in my daily schedule would impact my concentration during mind-centered activities. One of my objectives this year was to improve my know-how skills through making experiments.

-[[michka:know-hows/bioproductive_balcony|Here]] is the page dedicated to the small garden I started on FoAM's balcony. +I ended up mixing up making and research to build up supercapacitors, microbial fuel cells, cook materials or grow kombucha, and more.

-===Making objects=== +
- +
-==Obtaining Raw Materials through Urban Foraging== +
- +
-Everytime I walk through Brussels, I stumble on hundreds of kilos of not-that-waste materials. Rather than buying new materials, I will try to make the most of this existing resource to make objects. +
- +
-However, matching what you need with what you find needs a little bit of strategy. I will therefore document here my [[:michka:know-hows:urban_foraging|Urban Foraging]] experiments and good practices. +
- +
-An abundant urban waste-resource material is wood, mainly in the shape of pallets. Here is what I learned during my two first [[:michka/know-hows/pallet_dismantling|pallet dismantling]] experiments. +
- +
-==A few objects== +
- +
-Make [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zd-Uc5Kgco|Origami envelopes]]. Only scrap paper is needed, no glue. I use them to pack up seeds for the bioproductive balcony, or to exchange them through [[http://www.grainesdetroc.fr|Graines de troc]] and [[http://www.plantcatching.com|Plant Catching]]. +
- +
-===Recipes=== +
- +
-It invested some time into cooking this year. Here are some recipes. +
- +
-==Lunches== +
- +
-[[:michka/know-hows/vegetable_curry_with_rice|Vegetable curry with rice]] +
- +
-[[:michka/know-hows/sweet_and_sour_vegetables_with_semolina|Sweet and Sour Vegetables with Semolina]] +
- +
-[[:michka/know-hows/calliflower_carrots_parsnip_curry_with_rice|Calliflower, Carrots and Parsnip Curry with Rice]] +
- +
-==Other experiments== +
- +
-I prepared [[:michka/know-hows/tomatillo_chutney|Tomatillo's chutney]] out of green tomatillos which were kindly offered to me by [[http://opengreens.okno.be/person.php?id=85|Annemie]] after a day spent working in her [[http://annemariemaes.net/research/urban-corridors/urban-artfarm-2012/|rooftop garden]]. +
- +
-Being an absolute fan of [[:michka/cramique|cramique]], the famous raisins-containing Belgian brioche, I decided I would try to cook it myself.+
