Weekly musings

Perfumes i wore were Roma (i nearly thunked the small bottle, ordered another!), Givenchy III, Odeur 53, Chanel No19, Beachy, lots of Arden Green Tea and went scentless on sunday

visit to Ribeauville and Eguisheim

We had dinner in Turckheim with tripes in a riesling sauce and veal kidney with mustard, tarte flambe in Eguisheim. Back at home there were bellpeppers with chorizo and tomatoes, korean inspired pig belly, saturday we went out and ate a big Wiener Schnitzel in the summer heat and sunday we had a tortilla. espagnola with green bean salad and homemade focaccia with asparagus.

I sewed the Peppermint pocket skirt, but did not like it much on myself, it looks better on other people who are slimmer at the waist than. i am. I also tried a new skirt pattern and think i have produced at least a wearable muslin. Otherwise i spent some time playing on my phone, relaxing and watching Big Skies on Disney.

Weekly musings

Perfumes i wore were Eau de Lancaster, Meet Me On The Corner, Tea Rose, Batucada, Fiore dell´Onda, Scherrer, What I did on my holidays and Aromatics Elixir

We did not too much cooking that week, but had a salad with smoked trout, a vietnamese rice noodle salat with veggie mince and sunday i made a huge pot of persian beef stew with rhubarb and saffron (Khoresht-e-rivas). I had many leftovers to freeze for lunch at work, so that is always a plus.

I did 120km bike commuting this week plus two times to the gym, so i am really proud of myself. I also finally sewed a cardigan in frenchy terry fabric, that was on my list for more than two years. Its the Harper Cardigan from Sinclair pattern, a free pattern too, so that is a plus. And it fits really nice. A great item to trow over, when it gets a bit chilly. I think i will make another in a plain color to combine with my other clothes. And i played some minigolf with a friend, great fun, but the course was terrible to play…
