The bird was digging in the snow for food. He didn't find the foodball yet.

christmas decoration

...
The tree is every year a point of discussion. Does everybody likes the new balls, the colour, the placement, the size! And has the tree the perfect size, the good top...
We decided the heart was too big and too much in everybodies eye.
My sisters job is not an easy one!

...

Their house in the winter is even nicer-with all the different shades of white inside and outside.

christmas birds

wish everybody nice christmas days.

After party recipe

...

Gave yesterday a before christmas goodbye Belgium sitting party.
Couldn't make photos of the final food, but here the recipes.

I realized that I cook a lot by colours and I like the dark tones of wintervegetables.

The little mushroom pies I did with dough from the turkish shop. Not easy to handle but nice crispy!
Here the recipe.

The beetroot soup:

- 600g little raw beetroots
- 2 potatos
- 1l concentrated bouillon
- fresh lemon juice, pepper, seasalt, little sugar
- fresh craved horseradish

cook the beetroots and potatos first cut in little slices in the bouillon
puree it
add lemon juice, pepper, seasalt, sugar and horseradish
puree again
add some Crème fraiche on top or other fresh cheese and some parsley

Enjoy it hot or cold

wishlist 1 chairs

...
looking too much into inerior magazines and blogs I reallized, that the world is full with eames chairs. I can't see them anymore!
But I would really like to have the chairs from Charlotte Perriand, which she designed for the ski resort in Les Arcs in the french alps.
Let me know if you see them in real.
And I like the closet visit from momo suzuki! She has the chairs-check flickr!
Her name, what a fantastic combination. Momo was the only book in fairytale style I liked as a kid, and a motorcycle isn't bad either!

Yes, it is the most typical swiss christmas cookie "Mailänderli"
And with the old cutters I found recently in the Brockenhaus, they get beautiful. The shapes are much nicer then with new ones I think!

A book from 1951 from a bakery woman about her business! Very fifties and old-fashioned but very beautiful.

Some Zen baking after the "Explosion im Festspielhaus" again Einstürzende Neubauten. Sorry, only for insiders who know more what I'm doing during the week!

Urknall Durchbruch Expansion

der Damm gesprengt

über die Bühne geflutet

trunkene Sterne

ein neuer See

der Höhepunkt des Ganzen:

Die Explosion im Festspielhaus

Aberjahrmilliardenwirbel

Myriaden Wonnefeuer

heraus-hineingeschleudert

Milchstrassencumshot

Lavastromejakulat

auf dem Höhepunkt des Ganzen:

Die Explosion im Festspielhaus

Es bleiben

Täler Kurven Mulden

ein Abdruck ihrer Formen

im gamma-Strahlenhintergrund

dazwischen in der Schwärze

verbreiten Botenstoffe

Künder dieses Höhepunkts

von Ganzen nur ein Echo:

Die Explosion im Festspielhaus

[english]

The Explosion in the Festival Hall

Big bang, break-through, expansion

the dam blown up

flooded over the stage

drunken stars

a new lake

the climax of everything:

The explosion in the festival hall

Endless trillions of years of spin

myriads of fiery rapture

hurled out hurled in

Milky Way cum shot

lava flow ejaculation

on the climax of everything

The explosion in the festival hall

What remains are

valleys curves hollows

an impression of her form

in the gamma ray background

in between in the pitch black

transmitter agents circulate

harbingers of this climax

of everything just an echo:

The explosion in the festival hall
