My de Buyer breakfast pan – world best fried eggs:
Bought my first one years ago at Manufactum in Munich on of the best buys ever! Once it is “burned in” and got a greasy surface you can make the best fried eggs for you and for two.
Es Verger Restaurant Alaró Mallorca:
If you are on the search for a non forgettable experience on Mallorca, head to Alaró, turn out of the village to the right for about 1,5 km and then up the hill for about 4 km. You will arrive at the famous Es Verger. The owner the small grandma on the image will put the lamb early in the morning in the oven and it´s left there all day to welcome the guests. The lamb is so tender hard to describe. The place is just beyond description – very typical. Wine was great as well and cheap and we were very lucky that be-cause of the rainy weather not too many guests headed the muddy gravel road up the hill. Thanks a lot !
Milano – Salone 2012 what a great weekend:
Combining traveling with friends, meeting friends in Milano and having the Salone furniture fair with all its exhibitions and events around is a sure bet for a great weekend. Weather was fine as well, snow on the San Bernardino but as more we approached Milano it got warmer and warmer. We were welcomed with some great wines and homemade pasta & vongole and the evening went quite into the morning. Next day we headed to the Lambrate area where you mostly see young designers and students showing their work to the world. A great vibe with amazing architecture and a great mix of exhibited objects. The Sea Chair Project and the works of Sander Mulder were the most memorable to me. Later that day we went to the Brera district for some shopping and due to the fact that you just have to look out for the read flags you can find art as much as you have capacity there as well. Milano is very special and you can find too much interesting stuff everywhere so I just posted some random images of the whole trip. Just one great last advice – save some money for the shopping in one of the Italian supermarkets before heading home – hmm awesome stuff as well. Hard to believe that just 3,5 hours southwards the food, fruits and vegetables are such at a different level …
Stuff we liked to eat in Thailand, guess what I´m hungry:
Browsing through my photo library I found some images from Thailand. I guess the plans for the winter retreat – vacation 2012/2013 are done, a bit Thailand and Burma.
Traveling to a country where there is no good food makes no sense to me, if you are not forced to do so. Great cultures have mostly a good cuisine, while the others have not. No need to not enjoy one of the joys of life on vacation. Thailand is for sure on the top list after Italy. And I´m not talking about fancy restaurants, I talk about great food basically everywhere, around the corner, on the bus station …
In butter roasted bread slices with Nutella and banana:
This breakfeast / breakfast is in my mind since days.
What you need is two slices of bread, butter, a banana and Nutella.
Heat the pan, and put in a lot of butter (the bread will soak it up quite well) and let it brown a bit (for the aroma). Then roast the bread slices until they are brown on both sides.
Now it´s time to heat up the banana slices a bit (also for the aroma). Nutella on the bread and top it with the banana slices. Eat it before it gets cold, nice butter flavor, crisp bread and a strong banana taste. What a great breakfast.
Ah – do not even think about the calories – don´t blame butter/fat or carbohydrates if you happen to be too fat – blame yourself for being too lazy ;-)
Life is too short to count calories and eat with 2nd choice ingredients.
Barbecue with friends at the lake of constance:
Saturday was another meaty day with a barbecue and friends on the lake. Close by is a guy who is crafting sculptures out of wood which went ashore. A quite nice scenery.
Barbecue in Argentina at about 4000m in the mountains.
This wonderful steak we barbecued on a road trip in Argentina up in the mountains at about 4000m. It is not a myth, the meat in Argentina is sensational and so good damn cheap you hardly eat any vegetables over there. I guess I need a good one today!
Every year Rohan Anderson his family and friends harvest their tomatoes and do a great fiesta by bottling them for the use of the year. Absolutely outstanding.
Wow. What a day.
Passata day gets bigger each year. We had a great mix of people from all backgrounds, old and new, some knowing about the process and some losing their passata cherry. I’m glad I could accommodate.
We now have the year’s supply of passata, and we have a few boxes left over which we’ll sun dry and make relish and more sauce. There were some beautiful moments, and plenty of laughs. At the end we had a heap to clean up but it seemed like everyone had a ball.
A special thank you to the beautiful couple of Greg Hatton and Katie Marx and their gorgeous little girl, for opening up their home to us at such late notice. The Newstead Butter Factory is a gem of a place and perfect for passata day. Hopefully next year I’ll be inviting everyone to our new farm. Okay to…

Fresh home roasted coffee beans, after 28 min on the hotplate in the whirley pop.
You still can see the skins which have to be removed before being stored away. A good start for the next week. Have a nice Sunday.
