The kitchen in progress is constantly on my mind: walls down- done, new window – done, walls – painted. The next step on the list is the wooden floor. To balance out my excitement and stress of being the construction supervisor I went on a stroll today capturing the wintery vibes. Insider: Professor Remus Lupin’s transformation….
My today’s lunch has been inspired by a recipe from the French/Italian blog Un déjeuner de soleil. By chance I had all the required ingredients in my pantry so I could follow exactly Edda’s indications. With a tiny personal modification: I added a teaspoon Sambal Oelek and a pinch of lemon myrtle.
