BRAIN FOOD

I need proper food. I have missed my favorite nuts: almond and walnut. Maybe that's why I haven't been feeling well. But today we went to get our precious nuts from - our best local grocery shop ever - Liike51. It is the superb grocery shop of local, organic and French delicacy.

Well, when we went there I found the most beautiful pomegranate, pears and mango. I had to photograph them because you have to see them too! So this picture is called Brain food. Actually in Liike51 one customer saw our shoppings and she said "Hey that is brain food!" She was right :)

Watermelon Cake


Watermelon cake  blog: www.gretchengretchen.com
Yesterday I was just too tired to everything. So nothing happened...well, today I took the time back. I sewed a t-shirt from old cotton shirt, made two seat covers, made some arranging and cleaning (should do a lot more!), went through papers, some writing and finally I made a cake. Watermelon cake.

Are You Growing?

Time to time I need to think where I am and where I want to go and what should I do next. These thoughts have been with me this spring. A lot. I know a lot of things I should do here at our home, haha... but now I'm talking about bigger things.

I love to be a person who just decide and make things happen with good attitude and courage. But I'm not. I need to think things quite a long time depending on how big THE thing is. About ten years ago I decided that I want to be a good photographer. So I've been going forward with that thought in my mind. Yes, I'm a professional photographer now and have quite nice portfolio.

But what now?
What I want to take for my next goal? I admit I'm not ready to say it aloud.

What kind of questions you have in your mind?

Maybe growing is like our lunch pesto today. I didn't have basil, I didn't have macadamia nuts or pine nuts that I normally use in making pesto so here's what I did.

I used nettle, dried sage, a bit dried basil too instead of fresh basil. I used almonds and sunflower and sesame seeds instead of macadamia nuts. It looks like pesto and it tasted good. On top of it I had small basil leaves. Fresh basil is already growing next to our living room window. 

There are so many ways to make things happen.
