air balloons in the skies

these three air balloons flew past my window the other day. pretty sure they had a spectacular view from up there. the pink balloon was massive. on the last picture you can see it has this large basket with a whole bunch of people in it. would love to fly around in one of those. 

simply breakfast

got inspired to make this omelet sandwich here. didn't really follow the recipe it was more the picture. Just made a regular omelet then added mushrooms and goat cheese, sourdough bread and avocado. a really good breakfast!

trädgården | sneaker swap

saturday we had great weather for a change and the city was buzzing. went to sneaker swap at trädgården and had smørrebrøds lunch. it didn't beat halvvejen's smørrebrød i wrote about here. so nice hanging in the sun, eating and hip hop blasting from the speakers. on our way home we stopped at tantolunden where another girl was spinning records. she played a little danish hip hop as well with natasja...you can listen here.  totally girl power dj day.

things i do enjoy | blue bottle coffee

when we were living in williamsburg one of my favorite coffee spots was blue bottle coffee at berry st. i like that the good old drip coffee is back in style. must say i do enjoy a good simple cup of coffee. on the top picture we're sitting on the corner stoop and added a brownie from the mast brothers to the mix. wrote about those amazing guys here. i really like these videos where you can feel the people behind is so dedicated to exactly one specific thing...reminds me of a movie i saw a couple of weeks ago, but that's for another day...  

discovering our city | gildas

they do love their fika [fee-ka] here in sweden. translated it's coffee and cake break and who dosen't love that combination! the other day we went to gildas to enjoy fika. had the carrot cake and blueberry crumble and it was good. really like the idea of serving the whipped creme and custard in old vintage coffee cups.

avocado lime popsicles

been thinking about avocado popsicles lately and got inspired from the recipe over at a cup of joe. did swop water for coconut milk, changed sugar for agave (like this kind) and added 2 tbsp of lime juice and zest from a 1/2 lime. right now i'm dreaming of cheesecake but that's a whole other story. had a lovely lavender blueberry cheescake at the broken arm in paris (psst they have the best coffee in town)...sounds insane, and it was. 

simply breakfast

toasted ryebread with home made blueberry jam. greek yogurt with toasted oats, sunflower seed and agave. an egg and orzo. reading the classics: the great gatsby.

flashback fridays | invitation to saga

got invited to attend the creative laboratory at saga furs design center vedbæk back in january. stayed for a week at their lovely old farmhouse and they took so good care of us. a week of pure creativity. the copper lamp koglen by arne jacobsen is pretty. and the last photo is of my favorite chair the spanish chair by børge mogensen.

i ♥ paris

off to paris today. can't wait to drink lot's of café crème and of course eat pain au chocolate every day which will be consumed on the little light strand decorated terrasse at our rented apartment...the only way to do it! this video feels like paris, right!

for art sake | yayoi kusama

back in august we went to the exhibit with yayoi kusama at the whitney in nyc. she's an impressive lady, crazy amazing talented and i really love her environmental installations. wrote about one of her other pieces here.

this & that

took this picture of my new city from above back in september. an austrian food serving restaurant at hornstull...will have to check it out....and get back to you with review. beautiful rug. been reading these lately...you can find the great gatsby here the c.s. lewis book here, enough by john naish here and le petit prince french edition here . lunch: omelet with jerusalem artichokes fresh basil avocado and home made rye bread...this frittata sounds good as well. juxtapose. next door!  

simply breakfast

having øllebrød for breakfast. directly translated it means beerbread. it's a porridge made from ryebread  soaked in beer and then boiled with water until it has the texture as porridge. recipe is to be found here. you can eat it for dessert as well topped with whipped cream, but this is my breakfast so opted for home made blueberry jam and chopped walnuts.

flashback fridays

before moving from copenhagen my parents came to visit and we went to eat at manfreds...i stick to the veggie daily special and that day we also shared a chocolate mousse....scrumptious! a visit to the farmers market...they have good stuff but expensive. beetroot, apple ginger juice. danish smørrebrød at halvvejen...one of my favorite lunch places in cph. went in the opposite direction with the visit to simple raw...really liked their cashew yogurt. wascator used to be our neighborhood hang out...cheap straight up coffee and really good food. packing away our records..these two gentlemen are oldies but goodies. snack-time at a friends workshop.

discovering our city | skivbutik

went to bengans skivbutik at söder to buy a couple of presents. love the floors at this place.
