Italian and Champagne

Last week, Ming was in Berlin visiting while in Europe. He came directly from Sardinia and brought with him lots of inspiration from the Italian kitchen. He made homemade pasta, while I took care of some salad and fried zucchini flowers. Everything was very delicious and I will definitely be making stuffed and fried Zucchini flowers in the future - though they are very hard to come by in this town.

Ming's visit was the perfect opportunity to drink the last bottle we brought back from Champagne last year, since I know that he is also found of the bubbles.

Sunday Morning

For the last couple of Sundays we had to take the pram out for a walk quite early. Luckily the weather has been nice and warm, but no one in Neukölln is out enjoying it at this time of day. The only other people we met were other parents out with their kids or people walking their dogs. The rest of Neukölln was sleeping sound.

Kitchen - Final Part

Another thing that changed - while I was having a nice time in Denmark - was our kitchen.

It is finally done. Last year all the carpentry was made, but we still needed some final touches, like painting the walls and floor. Vincent stayed in Berlin for the three weeks to finish it and I am really happy with the result.

In case you don't remember, this is how it looked like before.

Sunday is... no. 18

...a walk to your favorite coffee place to fill up the depot at home.

Green Balcony

While I was in Denmark, this happened at the balcony. Our wild flower meadow grew from zero to a very green and bushy flower bed. The fig also had another growing spurt and now have 4 green figs. The first fig - that came early - we ate back in June. It was sweet and juicy, so I look forward to the next batch is ripe. While I am waiting, I am still enjoying strawberry season, that is sadly soon coming to an end.

Tivoli

 

For people who know me or followed this blog for a couple of years, I think it's safe to say you must know by now that I love Tivoli. I have posted many pictures from this place. Of course this year should be no different. Because a proper summer in Denmark has to have a scheduled in visit to Tivoli. I can never get over how nice a place that is, even if I don't go for the rides, but just like to wander around and enjoy all the beautiful flowers and the many colourful buildings while eating an ice-cream.
