Sunday Outfit

How come weekend plans never go as planned? Hello lovelies, happy Monday! I was planning to relax plenty on Saturday and make chocolate covered pretzels, remember? Well, didn't happen. On Friday night while booking my Christmas flight I realized my passport has expired in September. No relaxing Saturday as I had to visit the Embassy early in the morning. And for some reason the chocolate didn't melt as planned (not very complicated right? Well I messed it up!) SO no pretzels.

Monday Outfit

Mondays come way too fast, how is that even possible? and how come work weeks last 5 days and not 4? strange... The weekend was good anyway. We helped our friends move to their new apartment. and people that's what it looks to move away:

The most difficult was done when I got there but my back killed me for the whole of Sunday hahaha. I can't wait to see the finished apartment! 

And now to the point. The outfit?

Not sure now what was going on here, I think I was telling N something... nice of course

Monday Outfit (and gazpacho recipe)

This weekend has been pure relax, so needed and so welcomed. We had some friends over on Friday, Saturday was all about relaxing and Sunday about making gazpacho. Have you tried it? I used to hate it (as I didn't like tomatoes) but decided to try it he other day and now I'm obsessed. I spent a good part of Sunday peeling and chopping what could be a small vegetable garden, but was sooo worth it! and of course we took some photos for my Monday outfit post.

And a recipe!
Gazpacho in a bottle

In case someone wants to try to make gazpacho (vegetable cold soup) here is the recipe I use.

Ingredients:

- Yesterday's bread and croutons

- 6 ripe tomatoes

- 2 green peppers

- 1 red pepper

- 1 cucumber

- 2/3 slices of yesterday's bread

- 1 onion (its heart mainly)

- 1-2 cloves of garlic (optional, but it's nice for the kick)

- Balsamic vinagre, salt, pepper and some olive oil

How to:

- Put 3 slices of bread in a bowl with water and let it soak

- Peel the peppers (annoying but really worth it) and chop them 

- Peel the cucumber and chop

- Chop the tomatoes (no need to peel them really)

- Chop onion and garlic

- Put all the vegetables in a large bowl and add the wet bread and some water, add salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic (I do everything by eye, but maybe 2 Tbp of olive oil and 4 of vinagre will do?)

- Blend everything until creamy. I use our Braun Multiquick (a hand held mixer)

Serve cold. Which means put it in the fridge for... 4 hours? It can be eaten straight away but it's yummier really cold. Add some croutons or toasted bread. 


and Bon Appetit xoxo
