beautiful music

Hey hey!

just found a new singer I have to show you.Her name is Lana del Rey- I totally fell in love with her voice and maybe I can bring a little bit of relaxation and joy to your homes.
I know the lips are kind of strange but nevermind, the song makes you forget about it easily and after all it's a really awsome video :)
Wish you a great weekend.

Breakfast, chandelier and a walk in the park...

Today the lucky bavarians had one day off so my parents came here for a visit.We had a wonderful breakfast at the "mariandl" wich is a really nice and cosy restaurant.

After that we had a walk and finally the sun came out, too.So it was a really nice day.

Hope some of you also were lucky enough to enjoyed the holiday today and for all the others, weekend is coming nearer ;)

Carrot cake

Yesterday I tested the carott cake receipe out of the Leila Lindholm cookbook-I told you about that a few posts before and I'm still very enthusiastic about it ;)

I was not so sure about the cake as I had to change the topping because of the lack of creamcheese in my fridge but lucky me it is delicious even with just normal lemon-sugar topping.
Here is the result yummyyyyy :

O'zapft is...welcome to the Oktoberfest!

Ok, I have to admit the "Wiesn-Fieber" also arrived here at my house.
I was lucky enough to find 2 really nice vintage Dirndl and now I feel the need to be a part of the Oktoberfest.
The last time I went there I was a little child and hardly remember anything, so there really was the need to refresh the memories ;)
My mom sew 2 beautiful aprons and found 2 really nice little bags for me and here we go:
Welcome to the Oktoberfest!

This is the first dress with the apron sewed by my mum :)

and this is the 2nd vintage dress fromn Alexa here in munich!Thanks again for this perfect Dirndl :)

A sunday with Leila Lindholm

After I red an article about the swedish cook Leila Lindholm I finally bought the book called "A piece of cake".The german title is "Backen mit Leila".
This book is not just a fabulous cooking book, no it has really nice little stories about her and the different recipes in it what makes the book not only a very inspiring but also a very entertaining book.

She is on of the most popular cooks in sweden and I totally fell in love with her recipes.
Today I was in the mood to try a few an tadaaaa...this is what came around:

First of all here we go with the focaccia experiment, yes it turned out to be really delicious ;)

Second round I tried the apple crumble muffins, also they worked out really well and tasted yummyy!!

So I just can heartly recommend that cooking book.It full of great and not so complicated recipes and the best for lazy or not so lazy sunday afternoons.

Wish you a nice sunday and a piece of cake along with your cup of coffee :)

Augsburg...my love :)

Augsburg is my birth and hometown...and yes it's true, I really love it.
It's supposed to have more little water channels within the city than venice and it has a beautiful old town where you really feel like beeing in italy.

I did a little parents visit this weekend and as the weather was really good we had a litte "italian time-out" ;)

Yummyyyy....Antipasti I love you ;)

It was a really nice weekend and I always enjoy coming back to Augsburg....the most northern city of italy ;)
