While the Bean’s away…
Bean is away for the week at a school camping trip. It’s a very Swiss things to do. Fingers crossed, he’ll have a good time :)
You bringing the mermaid?
Hells yeah, it has nipples!
Aperol
Carrying on with the lazy Sunday afternoon theme…
The tao of Rat
We’re all trapped in an existence we don’t understand, save for the fact that one day it will end unexpectedly and thrust us in utter nothingness, peace or flames – all of which apparently last forever. Sleep well, kiddies.
Lazy Sunday cat
Pavel being himself, in his favourite spot. The sun in shining, the birds are chirping, and we’re packing stuff to send the boy to camp for a week. Good times.
Hard at work in the kitchen
My helpers and I have handmade sausagemeat to then handmake scotch eggs. Very tasty teamwork, and I love the taste of the sausagemeat. I pan roasted fennel seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns, then added some salt, dijon mustard, nutmeg, onion powder, and a little ground clove. It came out really, really well!
[recipe] Panzanella
3-4 roma tomatoes, cut into large chunks
4 slices day-old ciabatta, crusty and slightly hard, cut into chunks the same size as the tomatoes
1 cucumber, skinned and seeded, cut into large chunks
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
12 olives, cut in half
1 tin of tuna, flaked
1 bunch fresh basil, chiffonade
good glug of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Let sit in the fridge for an hour before eating, to let the juices sink into the bread. The bread shouldn’t become soggy, but still retain some texture.
Katy and the pigeon
Katy wanted to take a picture of a couple of pigeons who were seriously going at it, feeding each other their butt fleas. She got too close though and ruined the moment.
She totally cock-blocked that poor pigeon.
Unexpected discovery
Katy and I were walking in Vevey while Bean was doing a waffle-and-compote workshop at the Alimentarium when we came across this. It will require further investigation.
