We are still in North Germany, near Rostock. Yesterday we did an amazing walk, a loop through the woods and along the incredible coast with chalk cliffs.

The last one, possibly a small ‘Marina di Chioggia’ is not really ‘good-looking’ but has a promising flavor, confirmed by Oskar🐾. Remove the skin ( or not) and seeds of the pumpkin. Chop in cubes … More The last pumpkin of my winter collection
After a whole weekend of working outside, my body asks for a quiet evening and an easy dinner. A bunch of fresh green asparagus ( from Puglia) and 600 grams of brussels sprouts ( from Holland, sorry for this) could become a worth-to-try-combination with the halloumi which we bought in Belgium but originally came from … More Easy cooking
We will soon start a new project. As reader you know we went through an impressive renovation since our arrival in this amazing house.
