two new things

Lately I haven't got much time to sew.
But I managed to create two simple summer scarves!

The first one is made from madras fabric I got in Japan last year. I kept the edges raw and just added some lace to both ends.

The second one is a triangle scarf with pom-pom border. I might want to tie-dye this one later, though...It looks too plain as it is :)

lisboa bar

Lisboa Bar - a cozy place to enjoy your original Potuguese dinner. Don't forget to make a reservation, because this place is usually very full. No wonder, judging from their delicious food!

This was my first Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese custard tart). I'm glad my friend suggested it as dessert - it was really delicious!

And by the way, this was my first espresso, too :)

manam

If you want to eat Thai food in Munich, this is definitely the place. It's not like the other Thai restaurants in Germany. At Manam, you get what tastes like home-made Thai food. The place is really small, so you might want to avoid going there at peak time, but it's absolutely worth a visit.

viktualienmarkt

Our office in Munich is located near Viktualienmarkt, a daily food market and a square in the center of Munich. Yesterday was really sunny and I managed to take a few pictures.

By the way, Viktualienmarkt is said to be the best (and most expensive) place to buy any kind of food in Munich. I am yet to buy my lunch there ;-)

rainy day

holyfields

Holyfields - a new place for lunch on working days.

You get a small "Puk" device when you enter the restaurant. Then you go to a touch screen panel where you'll be led step-by-step to order your meal. Then you sit down and wait until your Puk vibrates, telling you that your meal is ready. It's as simple as that, and delicious, too!

one sunday in berlin

It started with a new musical discovery. Rupert's Kitchen Orchestra has been around with these members since 5 years - why have I only found them today?! Their cool funk music will make anyone dance! Here's a sample I took (put on your headphones, else you won't hear the bass!):

Make sure you visit them on their website! Or directly to their YouTube and Facebook and Twitter! And no, they didn't pay me to promote them ;-) I got their CD - signed, too!

Then my trip outside ended with a visit to Café Krone, Oderberger Straße. Small, cozy, with delicious Bruschetta.

And how was your Sunday?

must.eat.cookies.

A few days ago I created this...

...which is basically a simple cookie tin with some pretty japanese masking tapes on the lid. Since now I have this pretty cookie tin, I just have to bake some cookies...

...and now I have to stop myself from eating them.

(Pesto cookies - the recipe was from this book. Thank you, whoever invented them!)

sad dinner

I used a lot of alphabets. Why didn’t I see many of them in my soup? :’(

I wish this beauty was mine.
Love that milk side-basket.

flohmarkt am mauerpark

Do you like flea markets? I love them. Today I went for the one near my place, Flohmarkt am Mauerpark. The weather was really strange, one minute the sun came up, the other minute it rained heavily. The rain didn't seem to drive the people away from the market, though. That's why I like umbrellas. We need them to become friends with rain!

I love meat way too much to convert myself into vegetarian, let alone vegan, but these people with their vegan burger almost convinced me to become vegetarian - almost ;-)

The Fernsehturm is watching over Berlin.

"Hi there, sexy!"

Everytime I go to a flea market I always need to stop myself  from buying too many things. This time I only bought these...I swear I need them! ;-D
