A blog about automations, food and country life
Its rare that both Elma and I find the same place to “discover”, normally its one convincing the other to make the trip. The Shogomoc Walking Bridge was both on our NB Visit Lists and we did not find that out until Dad said “Well, the sun is shining and sitting indoors is a sin.” […]
The last year in the “new to us” house we made a lot of changes in terms of automations. I think both Elma and I have gotten the house to a level that we both are very happy with and even happier that we were about to share the tricks, code and learnings to our […]

The ingredients are simple: Onion Tomato Yoghurt Ginger Garlic Salt Garham Masala Crushed Coriander seeds Chilli Flakes Red Chilli Powder […]
