Restoring 6 rusty old straight razor blades:
Visiting the flea market on the Main in Frankfurt I bought this nice leather roll bag filled with 6 old rusty straight razors. The price was so low that even just for the leather bag it would be a find. Coming home I first cleaned and oiled the bag and after that I cleaned and removed the rust of the razors. Two of them have no hallmarks and are also quite small like a 2/8 but the others (Bockla, two Peaso, Kobar) I will resharpen and use over the time. A bit of a progress is viewable right now of the images above more will show up soon.

Rib eye and waffles barbecue:
A quite spontaneous barbecue started yesterday evening at our backyard. Mother bought a huge piece of rib eye and we started the weber grill. Never any kind of firestarter or paper. Take your time and have a good beer until the wood burned down and the coal is glowing. Steaks were superb – as always. And later the night I started to burn in my new waffle iron. Actually with no intentions to use it but quickly we made some pancake dough, cut some apples and made our first testrun´s. After 2 more or less successful attempts we slowly got it right. Timing and teamwork is crucial.  A lot of fun and it turned out as it should – a nice dessert, no one could resist even being stuffed already.

Roger Dörig Sennsattler – Appenzeller Gürtel – Belt:
If you ever cross the border from Germany to Austria and over to Switzerland, called the Dreiländereck, you have to see the workshop of Roger Dörig a Sennsattler. His workshop is over 125 years old which he runs now in the 4th generation. A Sennsattler is a mix of a saddler and a goldsmith. Most famous for the special Appenzeller Gürtel / Appenzeller belts. Every item on the belts are sawed out from a piece of metal and later on engraved by hand and carefully attached with small rivets to the belt.

I´ve been in his workshop about 3 years ago and promised to come back to get a customized belt done by Roger Dörig. A great surprise to see one of his belts in the legacy of my father. Which he wore fore at least a decade and guess what, i will hopefully do this as well for some more.

Have a look at Roger Dörig´s workshop and a video of him showing his profession and passion.  (in swiss german – hard to understand if you are not swiss or from the border area to switzerland).

Polaroid Lightmixer 630 Camera:
Another great shoot for a birthday present by one of my sisters is this great Polaroid Lightmixer 630 Camera. It´s in absolute mint condition with the manual and two films by the Impossible Project. The manual was printend in 1982 so I guess the Polaroid Camera is from around the same age.

Im really exited about taking the first images with this camera. With the price of each image of about 2,5 Euro you carefully choose what images you take and it adds to the joy when the result turns out as imagined. Probably the best mix of taking images. Not to have them instantly and too quick as with a digital camera.  And not so slow to develop and unpredictable results as with a traditional 35mm film camera. The time to wait for the images to show on a polaroid was always fun and special – if not magic to me, and probably still will be.

Rib Eye Steaks

Visiting my local butcher today, I was a bit puzzled what kind of steak he is offering here. My first guess was right it is indeed a Rib Eye but he pimped it with some herbs and wrapped with an additional layer of fat. Proudly he insured me it will preserve the meats juiciness even more with an additional crispy rim. Thats how shopping is to be done, choose carefully, talk to the butcher and give him a feedback afterwards.

Clearly they show the typical fine lines of fat which only cattle has which is not speedfeasted and has got some space to move. The “Allgäuer Weiderind” from our region is brought up in spring the higher regions, where they go freely up the mountains until there is no grass anymore. In the end of summer before the first snow they are brought back with the Viehscheid to the lowlands. And end up on the plate, bon appetit.
