Lunch at the oyster bar (with kids).


and lots of little hands digging into those mussels..I really try to recall their taste because I think I only left the place having tried one or two of them (!)

We have been to the optimist which is actually attached to the oyster bar and it was really good but this place killed it.

The food there was superb.

Mad men.


watching mad men series all the way from season 1 for the first time.
new addiction. plus, I-want-to-own-every-single-wardrobe of these ladies.
currently trying to finish season 5.

I loved the photography/direction/lights on the first three seasons. seasons 4/5 are filmed a bit differently (?)
anyway the series is a crush.

What's for dinner? Pea fritters.




This is my new alternative to falafel and I'm so happy I found the recipe because it is delicious and so easy to make. I didn't exactly go by the recipe and that means that I did not use fresh peas (I didn't have any of those) but frozen ones, I didn't have fresh mint so I used some dry spearmint, about half of an onion instead of a shallot.
Of course, it didn't make any difference. Those pea fritters were as unbelievable as the recipe I found recalls.

find the recipe here and don't you dare not accompany them with the one and only greek yogurt..;)

Chocolate/chocolatey rum balls (hic!)




I made these chocolate truffles dusted with fine cocoa powder and once again we realized how impossible it is to resist from eating just one/two/or three..

Method & Orla Kiely.


how cool is that? method and orla kiely coolaborated and there you have it: bottles with the iconic designs of orla kiely we all love. I chose the honeysuckle which kills it.
