I found this idea on etsy a few weeks ago and decided I would make myself one. It has made earring decisions much easier in the morning!

I spent the day going though all my photos. I found a picture of each of my grand parents on their own and thought that I wanted to see them more often so they have been given the prime spot on the fridge!

I think we are going on day 12 or 13 of fog, fog, rain & fog. I'm pretty confident they should not be using this heavy machinery in such weather!

"Tarte flambée is an Alemannic dish composed of thin bread dough rolled out in a circle or a rectangle, which is covered with crème fraîche, onions, and lardons. It is one of the most famous gastronomical specialties of the region" -wikipedia


I discovered tarte flambée a few years ago and have loved it ever since! This is my homemade version which actually turned out quite well. Of course the wood-fired stove versions are better but hey I had to make due with my oven.

Shannon and I went over to Anna's house tonight to help her put together her new IKEA desk (ok so I arrived after this had been put together by Anna & Shannon but I helped put together a small cabinet that fits under the desk!)

Back to me cooking on my own (Matt's still in the states). Swiss specialty, Rösti (Tessa I'm pretty sure you would really like this) hashbrown like potatoes, mushroom, ham, cheese and egg. Pretty much everything that is amazing in a pile. I'm almost positive this is the first Swiss meal I tried when Patrick and I were first traveling and I believe it was chicken curry Rösti which sounds awful now that I think about it!
