Fake or real?

This is another version of the famous Sky Disc, the tasty one ;-)

Currant Impulse

They don't taste very good, they have too many seeds for such small berries and they're a pain to pluck. But they look as if they were made of pure crystal - white currants:

Premiere

The World Cup 2010 is the first one ever to take place in Africa! And the host South Africa had the special honour to make the very first goal in an African World Cup! Even though the final score was 1:1 which is not bad at all, playing Mexico.

So today's photo is dedicated to all South African players, fans and friends of mine :-)

Sweet Deal

The (un)original chocolate girl, handing out chocolated wafers...

Asparagus Season

May/June is the high season for asparagus here. And while people go crazy over white asparagus (something I can't understand, this stuff being at the same time slimy and woody), all (the little) green sold here is imported. Sigh.

Juicy sun

You can eat oranges, you can squeeze the juice out of them, you can cook marmelade from them - or you can cut a thin slice off, hang it on your window in front of a sheet of white paper and take a macro photo ;-).

Star-Gazing

I hung up a slice of a star fruit at my window, took a picture and then did a few things to the background. The result is not exactly what I was going for but I will get there.

Polymer feast

Here is a little assortment of brunch items I made - the coin is there to show the proportions.

"Nothing with a face"

Even before going to the UK for the first time, I knew of course that the McCartneys are/were vegetarians and that Linda McCartney in particular was promoting vegetarian food - the statement to eat "nothing with a face" was coined by Paul McCartney.

But the fact that there is even vegetarian convenience food signed Linda McCartney is something I learned only two weeks ago. Tastes pretty good btw...

Have you been good or bad?

I was wonderding why self made presents are somewhat unpopular. Maybe because many of them have that "Mommy, look what I made"-feel to them. If you want someone to really enjoy the gifts you're giving, they should look/feel/taste professional as well. Which I hope my chocolates do.. one package for mum, one for dad, one for M., one for J&D, one for M&K, one for A,W,A&E - and if you've been good one for you, too :-)

A chocolatey tale

I'm making chocolates and truffles again, as a christmas present for family and friends. It's fun and messy, at the end, my whole kitchen will be covered in chocolate, nuts and cream :D

This is a picture from last year, one of the final stages (just before wrapping) of the Kir Royal and Kulfi chocolates, the latter one my own invention.

The pine and the apple

Interesting texture, those pineapples...

Veggie delight

It's quite simple to make sushi yourself (the vegetarian kind that I made/make) and not difficult to take a photo of it either. Sushi somehow always looks nice on pictures - as opposed to chocolate :|
