X-mas '09

The thing I love about our small family is that it has always room for more. This year we where joined by the Steen brothers, Johan and Oscar. Their parents came down on Christmas day but Christmas eve they spent with us.

It's not Christmas without a tree... This year decorated with red and silver balls, candy canes and Hello Kitty-ornaments.

Iris, the photographer. I see great things in her future. I think a camera is in her stocking next year!

And yesterday, my iPhone started to act up in majorly wierd way. Maybe it's reacting to it's owners hard working stomach?

Champagne

What can be more glamourous than a pyramid of champagne glasses? With the holidays fast approaching, what could be more festive?

Week 49

So what's a girl supposted to do when the weather is getting colder, the wind is picking up and the rain starts to pour? After a long work week you curl up on the sofa watching a good movie, in my case "Harry Brown" starring Michael Caine. On Saturday night, you join up with a friend at Carib Kreol for drinks.

A taste of paradise! This Pina Colada didn't take long to devour! We gulped down two each before we headed of to our dinner reservation with the bartenders words echoing:"Can you stand up straight?"
Dinner took place at BELLE epoque. I'd tried their food before. The bad picture doesn't make justice for the good food.

I had the "oxkind" and is was delicious! I really like the fact that the chef changes up the menu every week and tries to keep it seasonal. It keeps the people coming back!

The search for true classics pt.3

If I ever get a car (or a licence for that matter) it would be this one! A 1964 cream coloured Triumph Spitfire. Five seperate Spitfire were sold during the the production run between 1962-80 but this is the coolest, the Spitfire Mark I.

Going Americana

I have always been a bit sceptical towards american food but with the help of another season of Top Chef and the blogs of V and Niblet, things have changed. I now realise the glory that is American food. Amongst my new favorite dishes are: Mac n' Cheese, creamed corn and bread puddings (especially the one containing chocolate).

The Stripe

One of my favourite patterns of all times is the Breton Stripe. The Breton shirt was officially created by the 27th March 1858 Act which introduced this blue and white striped knitted shirt in the uniform list of the French seaman.
It was said that this stripe allowed to locate more easily a man fallen into the sea. Nevertheless I thought it would be fun to pay tribute to the Stripe for a whole week. I don't know how many of my co-workers noticed it...
