Sicilian Caponata is something like the better ratatouille (sorry, Frenchies). It’s more clever and more versatile at once. I love that it’s also eaten and enjoyed cold and on its own, not just as a side. I wish i could grow all the vegs that go into it in my own backyard. Those super pretty squashes, the yellow and the green one, were grown in my boyfriend’s parents’ garden. So much better than store-bought.

Phew… So my blog was down for a little while. a couple of days of sweating and worrying, but really, not much harm done. Nevertheless, I’m so relieved! And with that, I’m celebrating with a frozen, ready to head pizza from migros, hahaha. So classy, so classy. Yup, me.
And also, this made me realize one thing: yes, it’s just a blog. But then again, I’m happy that i’ve got this little baby of mine up and running again and that everything is fine. more than fine actually - i’m brimming with ideas and can’t wait to get startet on a redesign and then some…!

As introduced to you some time back, I had the honor and the pleasure to work with Kuoni on my favorite drinks for an “elsewhere” inspired Cocktail Hour. You already saw and maybe tried the Peaches & Roses Bellini, which is one of the best treats whenever the occasion arises to host a fabulous brunch! So simple to stir together, too, and rather fancy. This one here though, the Paloma, is a rather unfussy and dirty number of a drink. It consists of Tequila and Grapefruit Juice or Soda, and not much more. Apparently, the Mexicans put a bottle of Tequila and Fresca (a Grapefruit Soda) on the lunch table for everyone to mix their sips according to their liking. For lunch, you guys? So from the brunch bellini it is on the lunch tequila, haha. I do not complain!

There’s something about chocolate that always makes me see the output (read: the chocolatey goodness i just created) in a monochromatic way. Why? Because the Black and White scenes offset the chocolate’s beautiful, luscious dark, chocolatey brown even more. What normally appears to be just a dark brown color shines even more on an otherwise bland black and white background. Doesn’t this chocolatey brown look so tempting and inviting to you, too?

Some might associate spring or summer with the loveliest flowers, but for me it’s always been Fall… Just look at those mighty Sunflowers! Huge! And right in front of my mom’s house, in the middle of the city, on an underestimated little field. The abundance of flowerful colors - Sunflowers but also Dahlias and those funny shaped clashing orange lampion ones, among others - is so vast, the colors so intense. Like the year’s last excentric firework. A bit of a show-stopper, really. Before everything is going to rest during Winter. Hello, Fall, welcome, and appreciate you’re here!
