last weekend, i actually, for once, had a bit of time on hand to just hang loose. as in: do a bit of house hold chores. like laundry, see to the plants, rearrange my pots (mini garden, y’all), neatly fold together all my striped, white and black tees… you get the picture. it can beContinue reading
one of my oldest friends is getting married this june! yup, excitement! and i’m never against a hens’ weekend - especially when it takes place in london. it was fabulous. i know, i know… i’ve featured london not once, not twice, not thrice… but miriad times. yet, this time, there are only a couple ofContinue reading
i walked through this week, trapped in my own little bubble, filled with perfect, meaningless, everyday nonesense. in the meantime, a friend of mine had to go through a severe operation last week, pretty much out of the blue. she told me about it only later, when she was already back home and recovering. evenContinue reading
when rummaging through my food photo archives (yes, i occasionally do that, when i’m hungry bored), i found these beauties here, left out, unloved, unnoticed. agreed, it’s not a proper finished product / dish (quite obviously). but when i made this cake and was totally smitten with it and christine (she certainly likes to playContinue reading
my relationship with bread is biased… on one side, there are few things i like as much as bread… it’s a common scenario: coming home from work, a freshly baked (by the local supermarket or baker) bread under my arm and a huge appetite for carbs. it’s not a very glamorous scenario, but i mean,Continue reading
a friend of mine - i guess he know me rather well… ahem - recently posted a nice little quote on my wall. here goes: “dessert must be spectacular, since when it arrives, there’s no more hunger.” (grimod de la reynière) fact: there’s rarely a need for dessert. yet, a good meal wouldn’t be completeContinue reading
happy morther’s day to all moms out there! i don’t know a lot about motherhood (none to nothing, really). because, unlike many of my friends, i haven’t had this urge to have a baby of my own. but i’m starting to think that it would definitely be wonderful to have a daughter, one day, toContinue reading
growing up, i used to be responsible for bad weather garden situations. as in: i actually volunteered to run out into the garden in any given (bad) weather condition to save the plants from a storm and possibly hail. no matter what time of the day, i would jump into my bathing suit (classic), leaveContinue reading
i’ve never been much of a runner (let alone extremely decently sports fanatic)… but within the past 4 or so years, i’ve gradually achieved at least some sort of a running routine. meaning: i’ve managed to cram in an average of 1 (slow and short) run per week. it’s not a marathon. but it’s something.Continue reading
the best way to say thank you is with a home cooked dinner, right? i got to spend a couple of days on christmas at my friends’ wonderful abode in the mountains, which kinda was the best thing to end the old and start the new year, all in one. in order to say thankContinue reading
