Food art.

My son pointed out that this crépe I was serving him
looks like art. Indeed! Should have saved it, would have
made millions.... :-D

Seattle area in bloom.

Easter sunday dinner.

It was so good! As always I meant to buy a big roast of lamb,
but when I´m standing in front of the meat section, I start to
wonder...will the young man eat it, will I eat it...maybe I should
just get the ground stuff...and that´s what I end up doing. I really
need to get more adventurous....next year!

Mix of lamb and beef.

Lots of garlic (6 gloves) and half an onion. Cook on a
skillet until translucent.

3eggs, 1/2 cup low fat shredded mozzarella, salt, pepper,
soy sauce. Add cooked onion and garlic.

Recruit your family to help rolling them balls.

Cook/ brown all around on a skillet in butter <3

Cute bread.

Once the balls are all browned, in to the owen 220C
for 10-20min. Keep checking to see if there is any pink,
if pink, they need more time.

Kot, kot! Kluck, kluck!

Yellow milk, naturally!

After a long day out working in the garden, this looked like heaven!

At this point I realize I don´t have mint jelly, I could have sworn
I had some! NOOOO!
But, turns out, black currant jelly was really good with this meal.
Phew!!!
Happy easter!

Garden is ready for some warm weather, please, thank you!

Salad.

Cherry tomatoes, dill, sunflowers, carrots and parsley are in and I´m out.
All that digging and bending and cutting out there....
Somebody is not getting up in the morning like a young woman tomorrow
morning.....more like a really, really old woman. I´m going to be sore :-I

Have a happy monday!

Easter prep.

Happy Easter!

Cucumber.

Aleksi from Viva Ciabatta http://vivaciabatta.blogspot.com/
challenged readers to come up with
a recipe where cucumber is used in some other way than the
old salad or just a veggie side with tomato. (If you are on no carbs
diet, approach Aleksi´s blog with caution, mouth watering bread
ahead!! You have been warned.)
Well....I have never really tought of cucumber more profoundly,
it´s not a very complicated veggie, but after being challenged
I have spent some time pondering cucumber quality. :-D
What I like about cucumber is the "CRUNCH"  If you are
buying one, always lift it in the air horizontally and if there is any
droop, leave it in the store. It must be hard and have no
soft spots. So, cooking cucumber is not an option for me,
must be raw. I also wanted to add even more "crunch", so
here is what I came up with....Still a salad....so I won´t be
winning this competition, but this turned out to be the best
salad I have ever had!

It did not hurt my salad´s desirability that it was a sunny,
beautiful and rather warm day. This would rock on a hot
summer day!

Cast of characters: Cucumber thinly sliced, watermelon,
a good balsamic vinegar, amish gorgonzola and salted
roasted pistachios.

Go easy on the gorgonzola or it will overpower the dish!

Chop the pistachios in tiny pieces, to bring out the taste.

So fresh and crunchy!!!

Best Cobb Salad.

Blue cheese, avocado, fried egg, pork belly, chicken.....
So good and so beautiful!



Have a good day!
