scenes from my home (more to come…). i’m so happy here. i’ve recently got a home office. i always thought it can look really pretty but that i don’t really need it…? well now i’ve got the space and i just made a go at it. let’s see whether i’ll ever use it… yesterday, theContinue reading
we’ve recently had a discussion about what it means to be single. weather we like it or not, it can be challenging. on that we all agreed. not necessarily because you’re unhappy alone, mind. but often, because it isn’t socially accepted to be single. people think you’re only whole when you’re in a relationship, thatContinue reading
our weekend trip to milano is already way in the past… in fact, i almost forgot about the pictures i took. but then they appeared in the hidden corners of my computer… probably not the best pictures ever taken to do milan justice. but it sure is a nice city, with lots to offer. goodContinue reading
i love to collect things… i always thought i’m dependent on few things only. but truth is: it gives me a huge kick to know that i’ve got more things than i need. this holds true for household things, like candle sticks (that i sort of collect), napkins, vases, cookbooks, plates and maybe undies - andContinue reading
dear friends, i’m quite happy it’s the weekend… how about you? i’d vote for another batch of scones for a casual breakfast in bed, tomorrow. blueberry maple - a definitely delicious despite the (fresh) blueberries rendering the scones a bit runny… still, tried and tested for you and good to go. to whip these up,Continue reading
what makes a date a good date? if you asked me (of course, no one ever does…) the answer would be: ‘the food’. and i’m not even kidding (i know… i’ve come this far…): i honestly think the food makes the difference. not the person you’re dating and are spending some time with, mind. becauseContinue reading
there is a huge mess in my living room. actually, scratch that: it’s all over this entire place… well, the ex-files are finally to be closed, alas: the big moving out of the other part. it’s probably indecent to be happy about this, right? sorry… forget i ever mentioned it. all i’m saying is: thereContinue reading
a real forest feast! this past sunday, we went picking ‘baerlauch’ (called ‘ramsons’, ‘bear garlic’ or ‘wild garlic’, depending on where you live) in the nearby forest. now on baerlauch, we need a little excursus… i used to think it’s available everywhere, around the world. but i was told otherwise… it’s something utterly european, that’sContinue reading
maybe i’ve got a writer’s block… have i got writer’s block? maybe. it’s a sunday, it’s beautiful weather, finally spring is here, the birds are chirping, the sky is blue, the sun is shining… i want to go outside, sit in the sun with my new tortoise shades and just enjoy this day. this afternoonContinue reading
readers who visit fork and flower (hi there, i like you!) sometimes come to the following conclusion: this girl clearly has a weakspot for both, salads and sweets. though i try hard to be versatile, i still admit that these are my two fall-back options. or survival foods, if you want. as a toddler andContinue reading
