A summer crayfish dinner

 

AKA kräftskiva. The girls and I had a Crayfish dinner in the very back of my property. It's always a fun dinner, loads of Crayfish, quiche, strong cheese, potato's, fresh bread and snaps!   The crayfish is usually boiled in beer, dill, salt and sugar.  The first contact with these little guys is sucking their salty belly, then eating their claws and tails.  Its a fun way to eat and celebrate summer.

Grandmas beet leaf buns

I smelt something the other day that reminded me of a memory when I was young, but I couldn't place it right away.  Then I thought more about the smell and realized it was something my grandma would make with what I thought was grape leaves.  Then I asked my mom about it and it was beat leafs! She used to make these little buns and wrap them in beat tops.  Then she would make a delicious sour cream and onion sauce and the buns would become soggy bitter and sweat buns.  

I made them the other night, and they are amazing, probably something they made up in the old days when they couldn't afford much and had to use what they had. 

Added an egg to make it a fab breakfast

Vagabond Flea Market

Friends and I started a Artisan Market in our hometown Vernon.  We had local vendors selling, Vintage, Art, Antiques, Jewellery, candles, and clothing. It was held in The Hub Arts Collective

Arabia Home Town Edition Mugs

Arabia Home Town

The mug collection is based on Kaj Franck’s minimalist, and for its time, radical design of 1952. Miira Zukale, who graduated from the School of Art and Design in 2007, designed the decorations, reflecting the cheerful, cosy atmosphere of Arabia’s home town. The mugs have four themes (Park, Sea, Block, Downtown), reminiscent of Helsinki’s architecture, coastal landscape, parks, markets and best means of transport – trams and bicycles.

London Markets

 
There are many charming markets in London. The food, the art, the beautiful old antiques from another era, great second hand clothing finds, new handmade local clothing and many wonderfully interesting people. You can head to one end of town and taste something you have never heard of before and later that day see something you have never seen before.
