summer

a meaty challenge!

UPDATE! Due to the slightly more complicated challenge this month the deadline is extended for one whole month. Get your entries in before end of May now! And remember; it’s not all about having the same props. Mood and atmosphere is more important. I don’t think anyone would have such a lovely rack to place [...]

Delicious roasted pumpkin salad

Outside leaves are turning red, yellow and golden; a sure sign that the end of summer is now official and autumn is making it’s way in. The fact that it feels like it has been autumn for a couple of months now doesn’t make it any less noticeable. It’s the wind that’s telling us and [...]

Summer is – or should be – the season of sunshine and warm sticky weather. Long evenings spend with friends on a terrace sipping on a cold glass of wine. BBQ’s and the smell of woodfire coming from neighboring gardens. It should be the season where you wear as little clothes as possible and/or decent. [...]

(more on that in a later post) My ice-cream maker has been doing overtime lately… The only disadvantage being that I need to freeze [...]

‘Have you made something with your melon yet?’ ‘No, not yet but maybe we should post it together… Wouldn’t that be fun?’ That was more or less the content of the tweets Meeta and I exchanged a mere two weeks ago. You see; after the fabulous Plate to Page weekend there were watermelons left over. [...]

It’s not exactly gazpacho weather at the moment but well we can always dream now can’t we? I love a good gazpacho but had actually never made one myself. It’s one of those things that you keep on wanting to do but never get around to actually doing. But last week I was meeting up [...]

Poached summerfruit

There are a couple things I cannot resist when I am grocery shopping and one of those things is fruit. Lovely, ripe and fragrant fruit. Let’s face it; all during the wintermonths we have to do with no fruit or fruit that is hardly edible at all. But right now is the season of abundance [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted and actually right now we were supposed to be in France. I will spare you the details, but Tom was admitted to the hospital in a hurry thursday last week. Scared the shit out of me, so to speak, but it looks like all will be ok. [...]
