mora da je bil četrtek/it must have been thursday

"elegantni" švicbriserji/"elegant" sweatremovers

malo pred novim letom se je začelo. prva je bla narjena morda okoli leta nazaj, ampak zdej je bil spet pravi čas. meni drage dame so bile na seznamu. in fino je delat. mal že skor ko bi tetris igral. kak zej porabit ta kos blaga al pa ki zej najdet pravi plac za kos. tak da, blaga je in bo treba ponovne akcije. samo da dobim mašino nazaj, neda a.? (; hec. samo ti šivaj.
just before the new year these things started to happen. the first one was done maybe a year ago, but now the time was right again. there were some some really nice ladies on the list to get one. and it is interesting to make. like playing tetris a bit. just trying to find the missing part or the place perfect for it. i think there is some more pieces of fabric waiting. but when i get my machine back, right a.? (; joke. no pressure.

posebna jutra/special mornings

super je, ko so takšna jutra. in to sredi mesta in sredi tedna. in tolko bolj fino je, ko jih lahko deliš s pravo kompanijo. in ker smo se zmenli, sploh če bo taka zima, da bo takih jutr od zdej več, je še sploh fino. ampak takrat bo zram tut druga melina. in še kdo. melina, vidiš kakšna posebna šalca te čaka?*

its great to have mornings like this. and all this in the middle of the town, in the middle of the week. and super, when you can share them with the right company. what makes it even better is, that we decided to do this more often now, specially with the winter like this. but then, also other melina will be there. and some more. melina, do you see what a special cup is waiting for you?*

super za prispelo objavo!/super for the post that arrived!

spet sma doble cbb objavo!

again we got cbb post!

I wish all Saturdays were like this….

First, a trip to the farmers’ market, where I wanted to eat every single thing at every single stand, immediately if not sooner. Failing that, taking it all home and eating it there would have also been quite satisfying.

But, alas, one has to be disciplined and make difficult choices. So, we ended up buying and taking home some organic (or ‘bio’ as they call it here) lemons and cherry tomatoes, a loaf of home-made bread, olives stuffed with almonds and seasoned with basil, garlic, pimiento and onion, an unsightly but delicious package of fresh foie gras…. and a dozen oysters! On their shells, there were still some worm-like sea creatures still alive and crawling around, so I guess they were fresh out of the ocean.

Then, after some considerable (and hands-endangering) efforts, the oysters were opened and lunch was served…. outside in the garden, in mid-December.

So, yeah, I am eating well. Southern France, it seems, is all it is cracked up to be, both weather and culinary-wise. 

vrt pozimi/garden in the winter

res je, da vrt zdej ne zgleda tak, je pa tut res, da mamo zdej por. to situacijo poboljša. vglavnem fino je, ko se najde taka foto, ko si že mal pozabu da jo maš. in še bolj je fino, ko se najde taka foto pozimi. še mal pa smo spet tam.
true, that the garden looks different now, but its also true, that there is leek to get there at the moment. this makes things better. all in all its nice, when you find a photo that you forgot about. even better when you find a photo like this in the winter. bit more and we are there again.
