During our break from gluing wallpaper we had the most wonderful coffee in the sun. Postcards with the design are free and available at Normo Coffee.





Here it is! The renewed version of the Daar is Wally wallpaper. The pictures are a little bit too faded because I was using an old film. Will take some better ones soon.

a new toy




As a birthday present I got an analog camera. The pictures are so much nicer! It takes a while to have them developed but the result is way better isn't it? This was in Valencia.

back to Europe






I don't have the artist's name unfortunately.

There was one other artist who grabbed my attention and whose name I did not forget, Dario Villalba. Beautiful work.

Cob oven is the way to go.




Mix all of the ingredients together and cover the dough for a few minutes. Lay out the dough and cut out 1 cm thick cookies. They can be put quit close together on the tray for the oven since they do not get any bigger. For a little bit of shine, brush some honey on top of the cookies.
Enjoy! I sure did.

let's fry em' up






Beautiful Marhelia, I could watch you do this all day.











Mix all of the dry ingredients together except for the flour. Add milk and flour little by little and start kneading the dough until it is nicely thick and dry. Leave to rest under a cloth for a little bit. Roll out the dough to 1cm thickness. Let it rest under the cloth once again. Make the circular cookie shapes. We used a plastic bottle cut in half for the outside circle and the bottle cap for the inside circle.
