Old leaves, new ideas

When about 2 weeks ago I was talking about the
backyard chestnut tree already letting go of it´s
leaves, Kaite suggested I could steam some in bundles.
I had not been familiar with that method yet
(I´ve been wanting to read India´s book for a
while now, yes - but somehow found out that at
british Amazon it costs about a third of what
they want for it at the german version - so I
set my mind to buy it there, naturally, but they
seem to keep kicking me out whenever I try...)

Anyways, as the chestnut leaves landing on the
balcony are dull brown and very shrivelled by now,
I collected some other leaves - and here are
first results...
