sourdough with fig, walnut and anise

...
I just bake myself through the whole book
and hope once I know the trick :-)
it's getting better I have to say

sweet bread this
good for wintertime

music that your heart doesn't freeze

...
freezing temperatures all over Europe
had to save the plants from the terass
steam from soup cooking
finally sunshine
music for these days

Liz Green - o, devotion
Leonard Cohen - old ideas

like the sexyness of older man
and
the melancholie and morbidity of young woman

cloths for cold days

...
why not wear scarfs, kerchiefs and blankets this way
when it's freezing outside?

Folk Costumes from Lithuania

Zemaitija, second half of 19th century
Alytus, late 19th century

first snow this winter

...
I nearly thought it will never happen to have snowflakes on my terrass
so silent yesterday, strike in Belgium
cold
snowflakes
silence

I'm happy, it's better then the grey days in January

Asarum splendens opend her first flowers, too early I think but
so misterious

parcel from Japan

...
I finally ordered some things from this wonderful shop
rice bowles
little dessert forks
cooper coated wok
beautiful pieces

it came padded in nice paper
and I'm happy that the douane in Brussels didn't break it either

more japanese cooking will come

...
whisky liked the wrapping as well

cabins, shelters... beautiful blog through maria

la finition en maroquinerie

...
no idea how you say it in english
but this are old tools to finish leather edges for bags, shoes, belts...
you put the iron into a Bunsenbrenner
and burn a ligne in the leather

under is the modern version

misterious cooking

...
sometimes I try out things
like addapt meat recipes to tofu
I pickled tofu like we do in Switzerland "Suure Mocke"
so
the process I liked
the change of colours I liked as well
but then the taste?
too sour, even the caramelized vegetables didn't made any difference
it stays a try out

Suure Mocke here, here and here

eigen haard naar eigen aard

...
a book from 1961
illustrations by Peter Eggendorfer
how to style a modern home where you feel comfortable?
a lot of classic mid-century designs
the texts are hillarious
but it's still modern today

good day today

David Lynch "Good Day Today" official music video (dec 2010) from Arnold de Parscau on Vimeo.
...

the video is quite special
no nightmares please just a good day
but it's in his Lynch way!!!!

whisky in action

...
that cats can't tell that their is something wrong
is sometimes a pitty
she leacked her hair of
after an injection form the doctor
she got fast better
and is now in form again
playfull, more in action, crazy

she was paralyzed by the itching
I still don't know exactly how to deal with her food allergy
