Choc chip cookies

After a few too many games of this (warning: highly addictive stuff in sight), we were seriously craving chocolate chips cookies. I found an old recipe I got straight from the States years ago (Anne, maybe it was yours? I can't remember...). Anyway, they are de-li-ci-ous, and we have been enjoying them tremendously!

Two little cuties

Mart brought back the cutest little aubergines from the market this morning. It almost felt cruel to put them on our pizza for dinner!

Blue beads

Fell in love with these on the weekend. And just had to try and make myself a nice blue one.

Happy birthday Papa!

Another birthday away from home, another present sent through the mail. It's really time for me to go back for a visit again; it's been way too long. I wish I could have been there today.

Joyeux anniversaire Papa!
Gros, gros becs...

Pretty colours (kind of)

I liked the real-life colours of this packet much better (the tones were somehow softer and prettier - the photo really doesn't do them justice).

The real thing

So, it seems that my memory was a little off. :-)
My mum found a piece of the fabric she and my dad used to make my little sleeping bag, and it turns out it wasn't exactly the way I thought: it didn't have any trees but balloons.
But it did have the light blue tones I remembered, and there were indeed clouds around... I wasn't too wrong after all!

And can you see the little flower at the top right corner? I really don't remember there being flowers at all...
I hope this little sleeping bag is still somewhere at home, and that we'll find it one day. I'd love to look at it again and try and remember looking at all the details years and years ago, when I was just a few years old.

Coconut & lime yogurt popsicles

I've been looking at products like this one for a few weeks already, thinking it would be so much fun to have in the summer... but then reason gets the better of me and I end up not buying anything because a) our freezer is about the size of a matchbox, b) summer over here only lasts for a few days it seems (or at least this year it hasn't really appeared yet) and c) am I really going to spend 50 euro on a machine to make a few ice blocks every now and then? (I just saw that you can get them for slightly cheaper online, but still...).

Anyway. The other day we saw a few rays of sun, and I got the urge to make little ice creams... and so I did with what I had on hand at home. The adorable little dishes I received for my birthday a few years ago turned out to be the perfect shape, and I just stuck mini spoons in there to make the sticks. A bit of the delicious coconut & lime yogurt in there, a few hours in the freezer, and that was it!
