This really was a nice discussion of the decisions you make in such a specific, unique kitchen - and I didn't even think hard about the lack of a fridge, given I've had random wandering fridges in the room next door more than once in previous houses. I would suggest the ceramic vs induction hob decision might be worth a discussion in a video at some point - I'm personally in the position where I got really used to an induction hob in my old rental property, and have now bought a house with an older electric hob, and am really struggling to feel any real advantages of it.
@@maxtonuponryInduction cookers work best with certain kinds of cookware. Pans and pots must be ferromagnetic (able to hold a magnet firmly). Some kinds of stainless steel and many kinds of copper bottom pots won’t work or will work poorly. Aluminum and glass cookware won’t work at all of course. Cast iron is best, and some manufacturers are adding a ferromagnetic layer to their stainless cookware- that will be labeled as induction compatible. Gas and radiant cooktops are cookware-agnostic.
You mentioned possibly getting an air fryer. We have a toaster oven/ air fryer combo that is wonderful. The only thing to watch out for is that the fan that circulates the hot air tends to focus the heat on one part of the food so it’s advisable to rotate the food during the cook time once or twice. The fan in ours is optional- if you don’t turn it on there’s no focusing as in a regular oven. We use ours in conjunction with our regular oven because it does cook faster than a regular oven in that it comes to temperature quicker and somehow uses less electricity. (I think ours has an internal volume of two cubic feet (yes, I’m an American). I can and have cooked everything in it short of a large holiday turkey.) I can’t recall whether you have an electric pressure cooker. I cannot adequately recommend them strongly enough. It drastically cuts the cooking time of anything I’ve put in it from soups to pork tenderloins. It can make breads and cakes (adequately, not terrifically) and pretty much anything else. The “sear” function on some models works better than in others. In your kitchen I would put it near the exhaust fan to remove the steam it will generate. Do you have a dedicated seed grinder? The thistle seeds reminded me to ask- I know that they are too small and don’t need grinding anyway. The reason I ask is that my wife’s doctor recommended that she consume flax seed because it contains things good for her heart. She uses ground flax seed as a sort of general condiment on soups, vegetables, salads even baked potatoes, everything but meats. I tried including it in the rub for steaks and ribs but it lost the unique nutty flavor. I think cooking it destroys the beneficial compounds. Anyway, you could grind the sunflower seeds into a nut butter. It’s quite good.
@@markfergerson2145 from the audio it sounds to me like the new shrimp cottage oven has a circulator fan making it a convection oven. If this is true, they already, in essence, have an air fryer, as air fryers are mini convection ovens. Having a small convection oven with a good fan and an air fryer may not be worth the space. I personally love my instant pot (electric pressure cooker). If you get a fancy one it has functions for making yogurt, sanitizing, and more. But any electric pressure cooker will let you cook dried beans without the long soak, and quarter the time of long slow cooks. I don't know how much this has over a well monitored traditional pressure cooker, though, but the set and forget is a lot of help.
I laughed so hard at a couple things 1) the statement that the oven light would no longer flicker, only to instantly turn and reveal the microwave light flickers 2) the fact that Mr. Shrimp spent some amount (I have to assume multiple hours) creating that diagram and adding in the arrow animation/movement to show us why the kitchen renovation took so long (it's beautiful by the way) 3) the statement about needing to be friendly towards each other to use the kitchen pathway i love this channel
I’m glad I spotted this video 11 minutes ago, because I hope this gives me the chance to say thank you Mr. Shrimp. Watching you a couple of years ago, in the midst of Covid, and depression, and failing in my chosen field of study (opera singing), reminded me of all the joy and wonder around me, and how much I still didn’t know about the world. From your nature walks, to growing food and cooking it, to even teaching me about scammers and having fun along the way, they have all taught me something new. I’ve even got to experience the amazing culture of Nigeria through your friend, who I am subscribed to also. The videos you make not only give me a chance to explore the world around me, it also allows me to pass on that amazement and wonder to others. It shows me that singing isn’t what makes me exist, just existing makes me exist, and existing is pretty neat a lot of the time. Anyway I’ll actually watch the video now, but if you read this just know I really appreciate the work that you do ❤
Reading your thanks pulled me out of another ordinary day and made me think about the good influences some of the RUclips videos/ vlogs have on the person watching. I too have been to places I would never think of visiting and experienced life through many pairs of eyes. Your humble and grateful thanks to Mr Shrimp nearly brought me to tears and I'm so glad that you 'found' his channel - it's so refreshingly different. May I also recommend Wanderizm , travels on the top deck of London buses, no dialogue. Do carry on singing, it's so good for the soul. xx
@@pheart2381 I do still sing! Year 7 into my study, and although it’s very hard to ‘make it’s in today’s business, I’m still hopeful that I have something to offer the world. Thank you for your reply, I’m glad your friend enjoys the choir! It’s a great way not only to work on the skill of singing (among many other skills) but a great way to make long lasting friendships!
The wider but narrow cooktop is a great idea! It'd be much easier to have all four burners going at the same time without having to dangerously reach over one roiling cauldron to get to another.
Honestly, the kitchen feels very analogous to some of your budget meal series - You've had to be really efficient and clever in your choices to get the most out of a very tight restriction (literally in this case). Looks great! Also, kudos to Jenny - tiling looks fab.
I can see that Jenny is just as creative and talented as you, with her excellent tiling and patchwork skills, wow! Your new kitchen is lovely, and despite the delays and additional pain, it looks dry, practical and stylish. I really like how the cabinets were adjusted to fit the space.
There are different kinds of acorns from different oaks and some will germinate immediately and some wait until spring to germinate. The embryo preserves the latter and so squirrels leave those on, so they can eat those later in the winter. Learnt this from a BBC doc, thanks BBC.
I think it also depends on how many acorns there are around - in a mast year, when the trees are producing acorns by the ton, the squirrels may just bury them whole (presumably in an excited effort to store as much as possible).
Wow, that oven dial matching angular degrees to temperature degrees is awesome! You never even need to look at the screen in theory, and can intuitively know the temperature you're setting it to! I'd love to know if that's an intentional design decision or a happy accident.
Very cool feature. As is the sliding oven door. I'm German and I hadn't even seen this kind of dial before. It's nice to see, that after the long 'everything must be a display' craze, brands have recognized the wish for more intuitive solutions.
Here in the US it is beige homes! Entire giant neighborhoods nothing but shades of beige. Horrible. We purposely bought a home in an old neighborhood with no home owner's association (HOA) [which are tiny legal entities who's members have a tiny bit of power so they act like they are the police of the world and fine people if their grass is a centimeter to high, if they plant an "unapproved flowering plant" or they paint their front door with a tinge of "too bright" of beige]. My house is school bus yellow with white trim and a red front door and no one can tell me what color to paint it, or what flowers or veg to plant in my garden.
@@kikihammond5326 Yeah...I'm not American, but I watch this home inspector guy based in Arizona (cyfyhomeinspections) here on RUclips and I noticed that! He always walks through these 'just finished' development sides and they look so cookie cutter and, well, beige. Or light grey, sometimes. It looks weirdly dystopian to me, especially with the lack of vegetation.
@Stettafire Beige has its place, but I can't stand white anymore. I do like color though.. I am an artist 🎨 after all. If the accent color is nice, then beige isn't too bad.
It was so nice to hear how happy Mr. Shrimp was when explaining how much he enjoyed his new kitchen. I could genuinely hear the happiness and pleasure at the arrangement in his voice. There’s something lovely about hearing somebody being happy and proud.
When the camera rounded the corner of the greenhouse I laughed. Very happy tomato plants (I think I heard them rubbing their hands together and plotting world domination just before you came upon them), and it appears you will have sky tomatoes, which may go well with the sky onions (or is it garlic?), and a bit of olive oil. Thank you so much for showing us around your garden, I am currently recovering from being injured and am not able to get out to survey my plants. Lovely kitchen, lovely chair. Boo beige.
As a general contractor, I think you're actually lucky to get that kitchen done in a month! I think there are few trades with the sheer potential for things to go wrong at every step of the process, as you found with this project.
Hearing that I've been watching you for over four years (I started watching when you were doing ecospheres) was both unsettling (time flies!) and comforting. It's nice to see what patience and long-term thinking can achieve.
The passing each other in the kitchen bit reminds me of an episode of Keeping up Appearances when Hyacinth finally gets her “home in the country”. In all seriousness the new kitchen looks absolutely fantastic and Jenny did a superb job with the tile!
Very nice kitchen renovation! And I fully appreciated the rounded corners of these countertops. By the way, gran-grans used to call irksome people "nettleseed", very old Russian obloquy.
Can you believe the rounded corners cost extra? They do a 10mm radius as standard but for the corners that stood out I wanted a larger curve to soften the corner more
@@AtomicShrimpand those rounded corners save you from collecting bruises on your leg on that hight. (Most of my counters or tables have ended up getting rounded on purpose, I don't move around light like a butterfly...)
Giggles at "two people can pass each other in the narrow bit... if they know each other well enough" ! The look on Jenny's face is priceless. What a good sport.
I'm struggling to knead bread and would chuck it in my bread machine but used that less and less so got rid. So now I'm wondering if I can get dough hooks for my hand mixer!
Absolutely wonderful video this morning, thank you so much. "Fetch me the smaller of my two violins" made me laugh so much, I really loved the kitchen process flow diagram. Thanks for the detailed tour of the new kitchen, it is gorgeous and such a satisfying best use of your space. Chair and tiling both beautiful, great jobs Jenny 💜 Also really enjoyed the comment from a viewer thanking the microwave for picking up flickering clock duties 😂 Love,love,love the dial on the oven, it always frustrates me that mine does not line up like that 😅. Ah so much to enjoy, thanks again for a wonderful hour and twenty. Love from Belfast 💜☘️
Oh, please, do the bee episode! I love learning new things I can include in future chapters of 'The Bee's Journal'. And I'm so happy that you make a home for your stripey bois. When all the 'weeds' and 'pests' are gone, so will the birds and beasties who depend on them for food. I hope your fennel will attract my favorite stripey, the swallowtail caterpillar. When you pet their heads, their orange horns pop out! Did you eat that tender little sow thistle? It's too delicious to waste. I hope when you're showing us mushrooms you'll take a second to zoom in on the cap and the gills so there's a chance for an ID. Same goes for the plants you pass by on walks or in the yard - I'm constantly saying "Slow down, what is that?" Of course, the ones you do ID are so much appreciated. Mallow leaves are quite a delicious pot herb or salad ingredient, and the suggestion to make chips was a good one. Looking forward to that episode. Well done on the beautiful new kitchen! It was worth the wait, and the choices you made were worth the extra time and expense, especially the cooktop. I use a two burner gas version, turned horizontally, and it's so nice not to have to reach across another hot pan. Plus, with my normal depth counter it leaves a nice space in front to work.
I got a marshmallow at the end of last year and found out this spring that the leaves make a lovely green veg. I must try to leave it alone so it can get bigger next year.
I really appreciated the kitchen reno timeline explanation and graphics, it was very relatable. I'm so glad that you could set up a camp kitchen, I'm sure you'd both have been driven crazy without it.
I loved seeing the baby trees. I think of them from time to time, and assumed we'd not see them again following your move. Thank you for landscaping into the fourth dimension.
Your kitchen looks amazing Mike, Jenny made a knockout job on the tiles too, its one thing to love tiling but a completely different thing to be able to do it well, fantastic. I had a galley kitchen in my last house, its great, you've made the most of the space you had, I wish you many happy dinners.
So lovely to see the new kitchen (and Jenny did a great job on the tiling). BTW if you're trying to make "coffee" my mum used to do a drink out of parsnips...
kitchen is really nice and is easier on the eyes in a way that is hard to explain. I think for me old kitchens seem dirty even if they are cleaned very well because of all the nooks and wonkiness. Great choice of tiles
Congratulations on the new kitchen, it looks fantastic. Very clever use of space. Was very interested to hear about the whole process and what else you got done in the same project. I know they aren't glamorous upgrades (fuse panel, boiler, hot water) but I hope you and Jenny take great satisfaction knowing that things are done properly. I'm sure the extra cost was inconvenient, but you can relax knowing things should be good for a long time to come. Enjoy!
The new kitchen looks amazing! Love the tiles, Jenny did an amazing job. Also kind off jealous of the oven, that sliding opening is so useful! Another positive for electric cookers is you can often use it as a space to work if you're short on space. Don't think this will be the case for your kitchen, since you have so much extra space now. But for us it was a gamechanger.
Berry interlude: Ive recently learned the berries from fuschia plants are edible! Most aren’t so nice because they’ve obviously been bred for the flowers, but one of mine turned out to be a nice tasting variety!
I don't know you, Atomic Shrimp, nor I know your channel. But just a moment ago, I read this comment in a Bored Panda article, which made me subscribe to your channel: *Carries* _10 hours ago_ : _"I love Atomic Shrimp. He doesn't do clickbait, nor does he take sponsorships."_
I like your new kitchen and the linear hob is a fantastic idea, no more reaching over hot pans to get to the back rings. I also like your idea for growing radishes. I never seem to have much luck growing radishes as radishes so I may grow them in the future specifically for the pods. They look more productive that way anyway. Please keep on with the videos just the way you want to make them, they bring a great deal of pleasure to many people.
My parents have a similar oven from the same brand with that sliding door, and it's so helpful. Cleaning the inside of the double glass door can be a little tricky since you need to remove the door, but if you did it once or twice you know what to oay attention to :D
About Nettle fibers: Sally Pointer has some interesting videos on her youtube channel. The way she shows it it's fairly easy to get fibers out of stinging nettles, and to turn that in to thread (or cordage). Even without 'retting' and 'spinning'!
Love your new kitchen. Jenny did a wonderful job on the tiles!! I agree with you about pattern and color. I avoid as much of the dull drabness of beige and gray as I can also. I was also intrigued about the idea of making cloth out of nettle. Perhaps you could make a table cloth or napkins and dye them with natural plant dye or something like that. maybe a colorful patchwork design. Get a small affordable weaving loom that makes squares to sew together? Just an idea. Also, love the different varieties of berries you have. We don't have anything like them here in Alaska, USA.
Hi Mike, it occurred to me that your channel is rather like Blue Peter for grown-ups, though with a sad absence of sticky-backed plastic. I have yet to decide which combination of Val Singleton, Peter Purves and John Noakes best fits you, if any, and does it matter - you're you and that's fine by me. Thank you and best wishes from another Mike.
Woooowwwww Mike that kitchen is beautiful!!! My kitchen is also reaaally small (maybe 2mx1,5m) and a small kitchen makes it feel more cozy :) I also put my fridge in my living room, next door. The retracting oven door is a game changer and the runoff slits in the worktop next to the sink is amazing as well! Must be an amazing feeling to have such a pretty and thoroughly renovated kitchen.
26:43 I'll admit, at some point during the kitchen reconstruction I had the thought of "why don't you remove the old back wall and turn the retaining wall into the new back wall, thus giving you more space?" But then I gave it some more thought and realised that a) you've probably thought about that, too, and b) it's gonna add so much cost to the project, you'd probably be able to redo the kitchen two times over.
I'd love to see you do some amateur blacksmithing. I've seen people make a simple Japanese woodworking utility knife called a Kiridashi. Simple little project if you can overcome the challenges of annealing and tempering and have an old file as a volunteer. Plus, if you do it, then I can copy your homework so to speak.
I will say, your vicarious enthusiam and dedication to your garden paying off with all these lovely fruits and plants is very satisfying!! it inspires me to try out some growing of my own, as soon as i get my own garden space!
I really love your backsplash tiles! I would have those in my kitchen in a heartbeat. Jenny did a wonderful job installing them, too; better than some professional jobs I've seen. I like your not boring chair, too. A great improvement. It seems Jenny's a very handy person to have around. I completely agree with you about the grey/beige trend. I have a disreputable old sofa that I got for free 20 years ago when it was donated to a rummage sale and no one bought it. It's well past its best-by date and overdue to be replaced, but I've put it off because I will not get a grey or beige one, and that’s all I see. Funny story. One of my neighbors has a grey house that I see from my front window. A few days ago when I looked out, it had been painted a pretty seafoam green. It looked much prettier. I was about to text them to say how pretty the new color is, when something distracted me. And a good thing, too. The next day the house was grey again. The pretty seafoam green turns out to have been the primer. 😒 I'm glad I didn't rave to them about what an improvement it was. 😮🙃😄
Congratulations to you both on your new kitchen. Good job. I’m so pleased it worked out. Mine was a disaster so I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how yours went. Jenny did an excellent job on the tiling, that’s my favourite bit too. I can’t wait to be able to do mine. I have bright green tiles, I agree with you about having cheerful colours about. The chair looks great too. Eva is very generous to share it with you, how good of Jenny to refurbish it for her. My house is full of mad patchwork furnishings like quilts, crochet blankets , beanbags and oversized cushions that I made. I can hide them away when I want to tone it down or move them around to create different effects. That way it’s not as overwhelming as if the walls were painted patchwork, might be a bit much even for me, and also I can change things daily if I want to because it’s so flexible. I also recommend oversized dramatic lampshades to jazz up a room. I hadn’t understood before what a difference that makes. And they are good because they are not adding actual clutter and getting in the way.
I genuinely thank you for your concern 🙏. Please watch the videos of the peaceful protests and the communities coming together to clean up and repair damage. The riotous incidents were real but were fuelled by a minority, the follow up actions of the majority better illustrate the national spirit. More power to the majority 😊.
Shrimp, I want to thank you for your content. It is always so calming, i know when ever i get anxiety I can watch your videos and immediately be able to breath again. So thank you a lot!
I feel like a month for such an extensive renovation of a kitchen is actually pretty quick, given all the unknowns that can (and will) crop up. The kitchen turned out great and the tiling in particular looks wonderful. :)
Regarding the tomato jungle, in our experience of growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, heavy pruning seems to improve them. There are very few leaves on our tomatoes but plenty of fruit and it's much easier to pick them and less chance of moulding etc. Althose cuttings compost really well so nothing goes to waste and theoretically we are using much less water as each plant only gets about 1litre per day. I will try putting plastic over the top though, we have always intentionally kept the top surface dry to discourage weeds and slugs, didn't know about the surface root thing, but then we do plant them very deep.
stopping in the middle of the conversation to identify the spitfire is the most british thing i have seen in a while 😁 i have spent most of my life by or on military bases and i recognized the engine noise immediately. glad to see i was not alone!
Mike, thank you for this video, it is jam-packed with information and creativity. I found myself oddly proud of your dear little saskatoon bush in its first year of bearing fruit. I honestly thought there wasn't much hope of it growing fruit because it would just be too comfortable. My 2 saskatoon bushes are now over 2 metres tall and are great producers but they live in grow zone 3b with intense heat and sun in June and July and winters often at -38C, never mind the wind and drought. I think your saskatoon may have the best happy garden. 😊
Congratulations on the kitchen, it's really lovely. The tiling is gorgeous, and it's all so well thought out. Well worth the effort, I would say. It's so nice to have a space you enjoy, as well as being functional. And a little bit of wonkiness is always pleasing.
Thank you for sharing information about ragwort. In the Northwestern U.S., ragwort is invasive and the county where I live actually requires that it be removed. Just last week I went to help my sister uproot the ragwort plants in her garden. I felt that was unfortunate, because it is indeed a cheerful plant. It's wonderful to see an example in its native habitat, providing a home and sustenance for the Stripey Bois!
Hibiscus tea is normally not made from the flower petals, but from the sepals of Roselle after fruiting. These grow very big and fleshy and make up most of the fruit. Roselle is quite different from the hibiscus one might know as an ornamental plant. The fruits look a bit alien with the deep red fleshy protrusions, but are very tasty and refreshing when made into a drink.
In Nigeria they make a drink with the dried calyxes of a hibiscus related shrub. Lovely sharp taste and beautiful deep carmine colour. I thought it may be the same as rosella, which I knew to make a good jelly. I tried it and not a vestige of jelling did it make! So not all related (even closely) plants have similar characteristics!
congrats on the new kitchen! I love the tiles, tell Jenny she did a great job, I've seen professionals do grout less consistently! I am sure it's frustrating to have a fortnight project become a full month but now you're all set! Use it in good health!
I absolutely love these random stuff videos. They're more captivating & enjoyable than Hollywood movies of the same length. Also, I learn so much stuff. Thanks, Mike!
Jenny has done tremendously well with those tiles. The kitchen looks fantastic and although it be a rather small room, the layout and design really lends itself to a very functional and pleasing space. Another fantastic video!
So glad that you are excited about your new kitchen and if anybody deserves this Mr Shrimp does. The tiles look lovely and I am suitably impressed with the skill and talent of Jenny - the chair likes lovely. All the very best to both of you.
I was told that yarrow is a plant doctor - plant it next to an ailing plant and that plant will get better! I love your kitchen, especially the tiles and the oven door. Happy cooking there.
The funberry looks like it's closely related to the salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), though they've probably figured out how to increase its sugar content, as salmonberries aren't very sweet until they're red and at peak ripeness. Definitely a fragile berry, and one worth keeping around for the birds, and snacking on while walking or hiking on trails or foraging while in the back yard. If you had enough of them you could turn them into a spread on a bit of bread, scone, muffin, or crumpet, or bake them into a miniature pie or a fruit danish pastry. But alas, 3 berries is barely enough for a garnish.
Those tiles really brought the whole kitchen together, Jenny has made a lovely job of them too, I look forward to seeing where the inspirational new environmant takes you.
This is about as good of a random stuff as so could have asked for and I’m only 30 minutes in! Thanks for the great video and for giving us an update on the baby trees. (I quite serendipitously asked about them last random stuff video.)
I planted elderberry saplings from the Woodland Trust, because I didn't think slugs would eat them. I was wrong. 😱 A couple survived and I put copper tape around them. How I hate slugs. I don't put any nasty stuff out to kill them. There is a hedgehog. Come on hedgie, tuck in! The self seeded oaks and beeches are fine. The garden isn't huge and it's a rented property, but it will be decades before the oaks are a problem.
Congratulations on your lovely, bright & new kitchen! 🎉I really love the colorful tiles Jenny installed. Beautiful! So happy to see you enjoying your new space.
Your kitchen is beautiful and appears to be very functional. (I especially like the choice of tile.) I hope you are happy experimenting and creating here for many years to come!
I am utterly impressed by the sheer size of your tomato plants this year. The last few years where I am, we've barely been able ot get any growth at all, and what has grown has utterly failed to produce a good crop. May have to consider figuring out a system for doing just what you did in your greenhouse.
*Afterthoughts & Addenda*
*Where's the fridge?* - it's just outside the kitchen door, in the dining room - there just wouldn't be room in the kitchen so that's probably where it will stay
*Dishwasher* - Never felt the need to have one of these
*Why not induction hob?* - Because we thought about it, and decided we wanted this hob.
*Why not extend the kitchen?* - Impractical due to several reasons - basically there's no space to practically do that, and if there was, the cost would be huge anyway.
This really was a nice discussion of the decisions you make in such a specific, unique kitchen - and I didn't even think hard about the lack of a fridge, given I've had random wandering fridges in the room next door more than once in previous houses. I would suggest the ceramic vs induction hob decision might be worth a discussion in a video at some point - I'm personally in the position where I got really used to an induction hob in my old rental property, and have now bought a house with an older electric hob, and am really struggling to feel any real advantages of it.

Jenny did a fantastic job with the tiles. Really, splendid.
I was thinking the same thing - especially as highlighted by the neatness around the plugs
And the matching studio chair!
May Shrimp’s oak trees outlive RUclips and all the rest of us 🙏

I’m glad I spotted this video 11 minutes ago, because I hope this gives me the chance to say thank you Mr. Shrimp. Watching you a couple of years ago, in the midst of Covid, and depression, and failing in my chosen field of study (opera singing), reminded me of all the joy and wonder around me, and how much I still didn’t know about the world.

Reading your thanks pulled me out of another ordinary day and made me think about the good influences some of the RUclips videos/ vlogs have on the person watching. I too have been to places I would never think of visiting and experienced life through many pairs of eyes. Your humble and grateful thanks to Mr Shrimp nearly brought me to tears and I'm so glad that you 'found' his channel - it's so refreshingly different.
May I also recommend Wanderizm , travels on the top deck of London buses, no dialogue.
Do carry on singing, it's so good for the soul. xx
Thank you. Your comment lifted my spirits.
That was absolutely beautiful. I feel the same way, though, I focused on a different “trade”
@@pheart2381 I do still sing! Year 7 into my study, and although it’s very hard to ‘make it’s in today’s business, I’m still hopeful that I have something to offer the world. Thank you for your reply, I’m glad your friend enjoys the choir! It’s a great way not only to work on the skill of singing (among many other skills) but a great way to make long lasting friendships!
The wider but narrow cooktop is a great idea! It'd be much easier to have all four burners going at the same time without having to dangerously reach over one roiling cauldron to get to another.
Honestly, the kitchen feels very analogous to some of your budget meal series - You've had to be really efficient and clever in your choices to get the most out of a very tight restriction (literally in this case). Looks great!
Also, kudos to Jenny - tiling looks fab.
Exellent tiling.
hahaha Eva laying in the grass at 5:22 "let me chase deer! Let me be fast, like lightning!"
I can see that Jenny is just as creative and talented as you, with her excellent tiling and patchwork skills, wow! Your new kitchen is lovely, and despite the delays and additional pain, it looks dry, practical and stylish. I really like how the cabinets were adjusted to fit the space.
I was amazed to learn that squirrels remove the embryo of the acorns when storing them to stop germination.
There are different kinds of acorns from different oaks and some will germinate immediately and some wait until spring to germinate. The embryo preserves the latter and so squirrels leave those on, so they can eat those later in the winter. Learnt this from a BBC doc, thanks BBC.
I think it also depends on how many acorns there are around - in a mast year, when the trees are producing acorns by the ton, the squirrels may just bury them whole (presumably in an excited effort to store as much as possible).
Clever idea with the oven door, havent seen that before. Love it!
Its such a good feature in a tiny kitchen like this one
@@AtomicShrimp It definitely makes it a lot easier (and safer) to use
I'm glad you are enjoying your new kitchen, it looks really nice! :)
Wow, that oven dial matching angular degrees to temperature degrees is awesome! You never even need to look at the screen in theory, and can intuitively know the temperature you're setting it to! I'd love to know if that's an intentional design decision or a happy accident.
It's made Germany; I reckon it's no accident
Very cool feature. As is the sliding oven door. I'm German and I hadn't even seen this kind of dial before.
It's nice to see, that after the long 'everything must be a display' craze, brands have recognized the wish for more intuitive solutions.
It really is very satisfying. German engineering is hard to beat.
I'm currently in Switzerland, and the oven dial works the same way. I've got to check some more, but I sort of guess it's not too unusual.
I, too, long for the return of bright colours and strong patterns. As far as I'm concerned, the road to hell is paved with beige tiles.
Ditto!
Here in the US it is beige homes! Entire giant neighborhoods nothing but shades of beige. Horrible. We purposely bought a home in an old neighborhood with no home owner's association (HOA) [which are tiny legal entities who's members have a tiny bit of power so they act like they are the police of the world and fine people if their grass is a centimeter to high, if they plant an "unapproved flowering plant" or they paint their front door with a tinge of "too bright" of beige]. My house is school bus yellow with white trim and a red front door and no one can tell me what color to paint it, or what flowers or veg to plant in my garden.
@@kikihammond5326
Yeah...I'm not American, but I watch this home inspector guy based in Arizona (cyfyhomeinspections) here on RUclips and I noticed that! He always walks through these 'just finished' development sides and they look so cookie cutter and, well, beige. Or light grey, sometimes.
It looks weirdly dystopian to me, especially with the lack of vegetation.
Agreed. I hate beige/white. Fun fact, white houses do NOT sell better... That's a long standing myth
@Stettafire Beige has its place, but I can't stand white anymore. I do like color though.. I am an artist 🎨 after all. If the accent color is nice, then beige isn't too bad.
Congrats on the new kitchen. It's really spiffy. Jenny did a wonderful job with the tiles.
It was so nice to hear how happy Mr. Shrimp was when explaining how much he enjoyed his new kitchen. I could genuinely hear the happiness and pleasure at the arrangement in his voice. There’s something lovely about hearing somebody being happy and proud.
When the camera rounded the corner of the greenhouse I laughed. Very happy tomato plants (I think I heard them rubbing their hands together and plotting world domination just before you came upon them), and it appears you will have sky tomatoes, which may go well with the sky onions (or is it garlic?), and a bit of olive oil. Thank you so much for showing us around your garden, I am currently recovering from being injured and am not able to get out to survey my plants. Lovely kitchen, lovely chair. Boo beige.
Retired? I call shenanigans! You have found your calling, now. Gives me hope I'll find mine. Thanks!
The kitchen is a jewel. The tiling is so beautiful, a nice colorful touch. Great job, Jenny!
On the topic of recurring characters and phrases, I really like "a change has taken place". Always happy to see it make an appearance.
As a general contractor, I think you're actually lucky to get that kitchen done in a month! I think there are few trades with the sheer potential for things to go wrong at every step of the process, as you found with this project.
It sounds so wholesome that you call them your tree babies, I love it!
Congratulations on the new kitchen. It looks fantastic. That oven with the fold away door is genius!
Mr Shrimp has a favorite caterpillar... Why am I not surprised? Keep up the good work sir
Love that oven door that pulls a little magic disappearing trick!
Hearing that I've been watching you for over four years (I started watching when you were doing ecospheres) was both unsettling (time flies!) and comforting. It's nice to see what patience and long-term thinking can achieve.
The passing each other in the kitchen bit reminds me of an episode of Keeping up Appearances when Hyacinth finally gets her “home in the country”. In all seriousness the new kitchen looks absolutely fantastic and Jenny did a superb job with the tile!
reminds me of the paul mccartney song Heart of the Country!!
Very nice kitchen renovation! And I fully appreciated the rounded corners of these countertops.
By the way, gran-grans used to call irksome people "nettleseed", very old Russian obloquy.
Can you believe the rounded corners cost extra? They do a 10mm radius as standard but for the corners that stood out I wanted a larger curve to soften the corner more
@@AtomicShrimpand those rounded corners save you from collecting bruises on your leg on that hight. (Most of my counters or tables have ended up getting rounded on purpose, I don't move around light like a butterfly...)
Giggles at "two people can pass each other in the narrow bit... if they know each other well enough" ! The look on Jenny's face is priceless. What a good sport.
That oven temperature dial is so pleasing - *contented sigh*
I shouted WOAH at my laptop when I saw it 😁
What a wondrous invention. I have never seen a disappearing oven door!! Amazing ❤
Your kitchen is beautifully designed to fit your needs.
This is my first time in 26 years of life that I've seen someone use the dough attachment for a hand mixer! Brilliant!
I'm struggling to knead bread and would chuck it in my bread machine but used that less and less so got rid. So now I'm wondering if I can get dough hooks for my hand mixer!
Absolutely wonderful video this morning, thank you so much. "Fetch me the smaller of my two violins" made me laugh so much, I really loved the kitchen process flow diagram. Thanks for the detailed tour of the new kitchen, it is gorgeous and such a satisfying best use of your space. Chair and tiling both beautiful, great jobs Jenny 💜
Also really enjoyed the comment from a viewer thanking the microwave for picking up flickering clock duties 😂
Love,love,love the dial on the oven, it always frustrates me that mine does not line up like that 😅. Ah so much to enjoy, thanks again for a wonderful hour and twenty. Love from Belfast 💜☘️
No remodel ever goes as planned. Ever. I'm amazed they could do all that in a month honestly! It looks great.
Oh, please, do the bee episode! I love learning new things I can include in future chapters of 'The Bee's Journal'. And I'm so happy that you make a home for your stripey bois. When all the 'weeds' and 'pests' are gone, so will the birds and beasties who depend on them for food. I hope your fennel will attract my favorite stripey, the swallowtail caterpillar. When you pet their heads, their orange horns pop out!
Did you eat that tender little sow thistle? It's too delicious to waste. I hope when you're showing us mushrooms you'll take a second to zoom in on the cap and the gills so there's a chance for an ID. Same goes for the plants you pass by on walks or in the yard - I'm constantly saying "Slow down, what is that?"
Of course, the ones you do ID are so much appreciated. Mallow leaves are quite a delicious pot herb or salad ingredient, and the suggestion to make chips was a good one. Looking forward to that episode.
Well done on the beautiful new kitchen! It was worth the wait, and the choices you made were worth the extra time and expense, especially the cooktop. I use a two burner gas version, turned horizontally, and it's so nice not to have to reach across another hot pan. Plus, with my normal depth counter it leaves a nice space in front to work.
I got a marshmallow at the end of last year and found out this spring that the leaves make a lovely green veg. I must try to leave it alone so it can get bigger next year.
@@pattheplanter That's the hardest part of growing delicious decorative plants!
I really appreciated the kitchen reno timeline explanation and graphics, it was very relatable. I'm so glad that you could set up a camp kitchen, I'm sure you'd both have been driven crazy without it.
Lovely job on the tiles Jenny! 🎉 The whole kitchen turned out so functional and pretty. Well done. ❤
I loved seeing the baby trees. I think of them from time to time, and assumed we'd not see them again following your move. Thank you for landscaping into the fourth dimension.
Your new oven temperature dial made me so happy.
Mike, your kitchen is lovely. Bravo to Jenny for smashing the tiling.
Your kitchen looks amazing Mike, Jenny made a knockout job on the tiles too, its one thing to love tiling but a completely different thing to be able to do it well, fantastic. I had a galley kitchen in my last house, its great, you've made the most of the space you had, I wish you many happy dinners.
Much needed lift after the past week. Many, many thanks to you all!💜
So lovely to see the new kitchen (and Jenny did a great job on the tiling). BTW if you're trying to make "coffee" my mum used to do a drink out of parsnips...
Also, the tiling is beautiful!! Gorgeous work
kitchen is really nice and is easier on the eyes in a way that is hard to explain. I think for me old kitchens seem dirty even if they are cleaned very well because of all the nooks and wonkiness. Great choice of tiles
Congratulations on the new kitchen, it looks fantastic. Very clever use of space. Was very interested to hear about the whole process and what else you got done in the same project. I know they aren't glamorous upgrades (fuse panel, boiler, hot water) but I hope you and Jenny take great satisfaction knowing that things are done properly. I'm sure the extra cost was inconvenient, but you can relax knowing things should be good for a long time to come. Enjoy!
The new kitchen looks amazing! Love the tiles, Jenny did an amazing job. Also kind off jealous of the oven, that sliding opening is so useful! Another positive for electric cookers is you can often use it as a space to work if you're short on space. Don't think this will be the case for your kitchen, since you have so much extra space now. But for us it was a gamechanger.
My day was made when you talked about my comment. Thanks Mike
Yay. The kitchen is transformed and so was the boring chair. Think you may have Audrey II from the Little Shop of Horrors lurking in your greenhouse.
Berry interlude: Ive recently learned the berries from fuschia plants are edible! Most aren’t so nice because they’ve obviously been bred for the flowers, but one of mine turned out to be a nice tasting variety!
"Pieces of string too short to use"
I love it. And sounds like it would be ripe for turning into a shag carpet or something.
I don't know you, Atomic Shrimp, nor I know your channel. But just a moment ago, I read this comment in a Bored Panda article, which made me subscribe to your channel:
*Carries* _10 hours ago_ :
_"I love Atomic Shrimp. He doesn't do clickbait, nor does he take sponsorships."_
I like your new kitchen and the linear hob is a fantastic idea, no more reaching over hot pans to get to the back rings.
I also like your idea for growing radishes. I never seem to have much luck growing radishes as radishes so I may grow them in the future specifically for the pods. They look more productive that way anyway.
Please keep on with the videos just the way you want to make them, they bring a great deal of pleasure to many people.
My parents have a similar oven from the same brand with that sliding door, and it's so helpful. Cleaning the inside of the double glass door can be a little tricky since you need to remove the door, but if you did it once or twice you know what to oay attention to :D
About Nettle fibers: Sally Pointer has some interesting videos on her youtube channel. The way she shows it it's fairly easy to get fibers out of stinging nettles, and to turn that in to thread (or cordage). Even without 'retting' and 'spinning'!
Love your new kitchen. Jenny did a wonderful job on the tiles!! I agree with you about pattern and color. I avoid as much of the dull drabness of beige and gray as I can also. I was also intrigued about the idea of making cloth out of nettle. Perhaps you could make a table cloth or napkins and dye them with natural plant dye or something like that. maybe a colorful patchwork design. Get a small affordable weaving loom that makes squares to sew together? Just an idea. Also, love the different varieties of berries you have. We don't have anything like them here in Alaska, USA.
Hi Mike, it occurred to me that your channel is rather like Blue Peter for grown-ups, though with a sad absence of sticky-backed plastic. I have yet to decide which combination of Val Singleton, Peter Purves and John Noakes best fits you, if any, and does it matter - you're you and that's fine by me. Thank you and best wishes from another Mike.
I actually have an idea to cover my knife block with sticky back plastic if I can find a nice pattern
@@AtomicShrimp Thanks Mike, that made my day.
Woooowwwww Mike that kitchen is beautiful!!! My kitchen is also reaaally small (maybe 2mx1,5m) and a small kitchen makes it feel more cozy :) I also put my fridge in my living room, next door.
The retracting oven door is a game changer and the runoff slits in the worktop next to the sink is amazing as well!
Must be an amazing feeling to have such a pretty and thoroughly renovated kitchen.
26:43 I'll admit, at some point during the kitchen reconstruction I had the thought of "why don't you remove the old back wall and turn the retaining wall into the new back wall, thus giving you more space?" But then I gave it some more thought and realised that a) you've probably thought about that, too, and b) it's gonna add so much cost to the project, you'd probably be able to redo the kitchen two times over.
That is a lovely Galley kitchen, just needs the sounds of the sea playing in the background.
I'd love to see you do some amateur blacksmithing. I've seen people make a simple Japanese woodworking utility knife called a Kiridashi. Simple little project if you can overcome the challenges of annealing and tempering and have an old file as a volunteer. Plus, if you do it, then I can copy your homework so to speak.
I will say, your vicarious enthusiam and dedication to your garden paying off with all these lovely fruits and plants is very satisfying!! it inspires me to try out some growing of my own, as soon as i get my own garden space!
I really love your backsplash tiles! I would have those in my kitchen in a heartbeat. Jenny did a wonderful job installing them, too; better than some professional jobs I've seen.
I like your not boring chair, too. A great improvement. It seems Jenny's a very handy person to have around.
I completely agree with you about the grey/beige trend. I have a disreputable old sofa that I got for free 20 years ago when it was donated to a rummage sale and no one bought it. It's well past its best-by date and overdue to be replaced, but I've put it off because I will not get a grey or beige one, and that’s all I see.
Funny story. One of my neighbors has a grey house that I see from my front window. A few days ago when I looked out, it had been painted a pretty seafoam green. It looked much prettier. I was about to text them to say how pretty the new color is, when something distracted me. And a good thing, too. The next day the house was grey again. The pretty seafoam green turns out to have been the primer. 😒 I'm glad I didn't rave to them about what an improvement it was. 😮🙃😄
Congratulations to you both on your new kitchen. Good job. I’m so pleased it worked out. Mine was a disaster so I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how yours went. Jenny did an excellent job on the tiling, that’s my favourite bit too. I can’t wait to be able to do mine. I have bright green tiles, I agree with you about having cheerful colours about.
The chair looks great too. Eva is very generous to share it with you, how good of Jenny to refurbish it for her.
My house is full of mad patchwork furnishings like quilts, crochet blankets , beanbags and oversized cushions that I made. I can hide them away when I want to tone it down or move them around to create different effects. That way it’s not as overwhelming as if the walls were painted patchwork, might be a bit much even for me, and also I can change things daily if I want to because it’s so flexible. I also recommend oversized dramatic lampshades to jazz up a room. I hadn’t understood before what a difference that makes. And they are good because they are not adding actual clutter and getting in the way.
The kitchen turned out absolutely wonderful!!
I'm glad you posted this. I've seen some videos of the things happening in the UK. It's good to see that you're ok. 🙂
I genuinely thank you for your concern 🙏. Please watch the videos of the peaceful protests and the communities coming together to clean up and repair damage. The riotous incidents were real but were fuelled by a minority, the follow up actions of the majority better illustrate the national spirit. More power to the majority 😊.
The kitchen turned out beautiful!
Ahhh I feel your woes Mr Shrimp! I'm just about to embark on a month-long renovation of my own kitchen and it's gonna be quite the bother! 😁
Shrimp, I want to thank you for your content. It is always so calming, i know when ever i get anxiety I can watch your videos and immediately be able to breath again. So thank you a lot!
Your long form content is always my favourite, always fascinating
I feel like a month for such an extensive renovation of a kitchen is actually pretty quick, given all the unknowns that can (and will) crop up.
The kitchen turned out great and the tiling in particular looks wonderful. :)
Regarding the tomato jungle, in our experience of growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, heavy pruning seems to improve them. There are very few leaves on our tomatoes but plenty of fruit and it's much easier to pick them and less chance of moulding etc. Althose cuttings compost really well so nothing goes to waste and theoretically we are using much less water as each plant only gets about 1litre per day.
I will try putting plastic over the top though, we have always intentionally kept the top surface dry to discourage weeds and slugs, didn't know about the surface root thing, but then we do plant them very deep.
stopping in the middle of the conversation to identify the spitfire is the most british thing i have seen in a while 😁 i have spent most of my life by or on military bases and i recognized the engine noise immediately. glad to see i was not alone!
Mike, thank you for this video, it is jam-packed with information and creativity. I found myself oddly proud of your dear little saskatoon bush in its first year of bearing fruit. I honestly thought there wasn't much hope of it growing fruit because it would just be too comfortable. My 2 saskatoon bushes are now over 2 metres tall and are great producers but they live in grow zone 3b with intense heat and sun in June and July and winters often at -38C, never mind the wind and drought. I think your saskatoon may have the best happy garden. 😊
You don't need to apologise for tradesmen taking time, I'm more amazed they got it finished in 1 month!
Congratulations on the kitchen, it's really lovely. The tiling is gorgeous, and it's all so well thought out. Well worth the effort, I would say. It's so nice to have a space you enjoy, as well as being functional. And a little bit of wonkiness is always pleasing.
Thank you for sharing information about ragwort. In the Northwestern U.S., ragwort is invasive and the county where I live actually requires that it be removed. Just last week I went to help my sister uproot the ragwort plants in her garden. I felt that was unfortunate, because it is indeed a cheerful plant. It's wonderful to see an example in its native habitat, providing a home and sustenance for the Stripey Bois!
Hibiscus tea is normally not made from the flower petals, but from the sepals of Roselle after fruiting. These grow very big and fleshy and make up most of the fruit.
Roselle is quite different from the hibiscus one might know as an ornamental plant. The fruits look a bit alien with the deep red fleshy protrusions, but are very tasty and refreshing when made into a drink.
In Nigeria they make a drink with the dried calyxes of a hibiscus related shrub. Lovely sharp taste and beautiful deep carmine colour. I thought it may be the same as rosella, which I knew to make a good jelly. I tried it and not a vestige of jelling did it make! So not all related (even closely) plants have similar characteristics!
congrats on the new kitchen! I love the tiles, tell Jenny she did a great job, I've seen professionals do grout less consistently! I am sure it's frustrating to have a fortnight project become a full month but now you're all set! Use it in good health!
Another interesting video. Lots of nature, gardening and foraging. I like your new kitchen very much, it is functional and cosy. 🌼🐛 🌻🌺🍅🍞
I absolutely love these random stuff videos. They're more captivating & enjoyable than Hollywood movies of the same length. Also, I learn so much stuff. Thanks, Mike!
Jenny has done tremendously well with those tiles. The kitchen looks fantastic and although it be a rather small room, the layout and design really lends itself to a very functional and pleasing space. Another fantastic video!
So glad that you are excited about your new kitchen and if anybody deserves this Mr Shrimp does. The tiles look lovely and I am suitably impressed with the skill and talent of Jenny - the chair likes lovely.
All the very best to both of you.
I really enjoyed this video, especially the time and effort that you put in making the kitchen flow chart.
I was told that yarrow is a plant doctor - plant it next to an ailing plant and that plant will get better! I love your kitchen, especially the tiles and the oven door. Happy cooking there.
The funberry looks like it's closely related to the salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), though they've probably figured out how to increase its sugar content, as salmonberries aren't very sweet until they're red and at peak ripeness. Definitely a fragile berry, and one worth keeping around for the birds, and snacking on while walking or hiking on trails or foraging while in the back yard.
If you had enough of them you could turn them into a spread on a bit of bread, scone, muffin, or crumpet, or bake them into a miniature pie or a fruit danish pastry. But alas, 3 berries is barely enough for a garnish.
Those tiles really brought the whole kitchen together, Jenny has made a lovely job of them too, I look forward to seeing where the inspirational new environmant takes you.
This is about as good of a random stuff as so could have asked for and I’m only 30 minutes in! Thanks for the great video and for giving us an update on the baby trees. (I quite serendipitously asked about them last random stuff video.)
I planted elderberry saplings from the Woodland Trust, because I didn't think slugs would eat them.
I was wrong. 😱
A couple survived and I put copper tape around them.
How I hate slugs. I don't put any nasty stuff out to kill them. There is a hedgehog. Come on hedgie, tuck in!
The self seeded oaks and beeches are fine. The garden isn't huge and it's a rented property, but it will be decades before the oaks are a problem.
Mike, the new kitchen is fab, so modern and fresh! tell jenny she done a amazing job at tiling
Love the kitchen and that hob is fantastic. Great design
Congratulations on your lovely, bright & new kitchen! 🎉I really love the colorful tiles Jenny installed. Beautiful! So happy to see you enjoying your new space.
Your kitchen is beautiful and appears to be very functional. (I especially like the choice of tile.) I hope you are happy experimenting and creating here for many years to come!
Kitchen looks lovely! Its a great use of the space and the tiles really bring the whole room together!
I am utterly impressed by the sheer size of your tomato plants this year. The last few years where I am, we've barely been able ot get any growth at all, and what has grown has utterly failed to produce a good crop. May have to consider figuring out a system for doing just what you did in your greenhouse.
A mowed mallow will grow flowers and leaves like fresh ones in spring based on what I have seen.
Really like the kitchen. Compacted but does the job and does it well. The oven door is amazing, I'm envious! Great video man.
1.3 hours of Atomic Shrimp? We don't deserve you! Thanks for the great content!
1:11:16 she’s working, too! You don’t know what will happen if she doesn’t reach her quota of carpet swimming, it could be the end of everything!
