On the grill

As the weather was unbelievingly hot about two weeks ago we spent most of our days in the garden and threw together an impromptu garden party. Here are a few impressions of this wonderful evening! I only managed to snap a few photos since we didn't start grilling until 9 p.m. and then the light was diminishing quickly. Anyways, here you go!

 {bell peppers, tomatoes, halloumi, and delicious king oyster mushrooms}

 {Don't forget the freshly ground pepper and of course rosemary and thyme from your garden! - It doesn't get any better than that!}

 {pears and ham with a herbal crust to complete a perfectly relaxed evening}

So, please, may I have the good weather back? That would be so nice!
Thanks everybody for reading and have a good week!

ichi-san in Bamberg / Franconia / Germany

Well, HALLO again! *waves*
I know it's been a long time since my last post and I haven't decided yet whether I should share all the circumstances here on my blog with you - we'll see!

Last week we had a period of hot weather and everybody seemed to go crazy because of the major difference in temperature compared to the week before. From 12 °C to 34 °C in two days, that's just great, isn't it? One evening we - meaning my twin sister, a very dear friend, and I - went to a relatively new Japanese restaurant in Bamberg which is called ichi-san. We ate our way through their starters and their sushi menu. As I fortunately remembered to snap a few pictures I thought I would let them do the talking.

starters - including edamame and gyoza

the amazing sushi

My favourites were the spicy tuna rolls, the ones with salmon and mango, and the ones with prawn and arugula - so good! In my opinion the most important thing regarding sushi is fresh fish, nobody wants food poisoning. But be assured ichi-san has very fresh and delicious fish! :)

matcha ice cream for dessert

I highly recommend paying them a visit if you should happen to be in Bamberg. And don't forget to take a stroll through the city, a big part of the movie The Three Musketeers was filmed in Bamberg! You don't know it? Go watch it, it has Christoph Waltz and Luke Evans and Matthew Macfadyen and Mads Mikkelsen in it! See? You NEED to watch it!

Have a great Sunday evening and hopefully see you all soon!
