Time to sit back

I know that i have said it before but i don’t mind repeating myself, what makes a restaurant is more than what is served on the menu. It is the total experience actually. The moment you open the door to enter in, you can immediately feel the atmosphere – if not, then it is not worth it.

At least, if you are after a memorable night in a nice place with great feeling for the whole experience – whether it is the menu, people with you & around you, waiters, the space, the lighting, furniture, etc. I do really mean it when I say that it doesn’t matter if it’s exclusive, famous, simple or just a whole in the wall.

Chocolate sticks

I suddenly became a little nostalgic when I stumbled upon this image. It was one of the first products we ordered when we ran our business, a coffee & chocolate shop, back home in Sweden. This was almost 10 years ago. We sold these with only pure chocolate with a cocoa content of 65-70%. Perfect for small & big chocolate lovers. A cup of hot milk & a chocolate stick to stir & melt into the cup. Very nice indeed!

Beige colours

I know many might feel that beige isn’t a particularly interesting colour & that’s ok. I myself often return to that colour both in terms of clothing but also in terms of images. I’ve chosen different images that goes towards beige, brown, sand-coloured, vanilla, light brown, camel – without a thought of anything else than this thing in common. From light tones to the darker ones. I hope you find something that inspires you 🙂

Daily inspiration, rocky road cheesecake

Something sweet – because it is someones birthday today 🙂

A chocolate cake that doesn’t look too complex to bake. Thin & fluffy chocolate base with nuts & marshmallows on top. I think I would add thin banana slices too & then finish off with chocolate sauce on top.

Darker blue

I’ve had this dark blue colour on my mind for a while. I’ve had a desire for something in dark blue in  my wardrobe – a good basic colour that matches most things. We went on a long weekend trip to Singapore a few weeks back & it’s incredible how much you can find in the enormous choice that is available. From the big top brands to small independent retailers. If you plan to travel there give yourself some time to explore, not only the shopping opportunities, but also the huge variety of restaurants, coffee bars & small shopping streets. Anyway, I came home with some nice things, in this particular colour – deep dark blue – classic simple clothing without frills.
