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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
