Avo ...
If you like me love avocado and eat them all the time , You could start to wonder
for one .. avocado toast is like a " thing " ....at restaurants ... and they are charging the moon and back .... how can it be a thing .. you put avo on toast and thats what you eat when there is nothing else like PBJ or ...
Well that is how it used to be , and now it is the big rage , yes they are packed with good things and me for one love that you can get them at literally every little coffe shop .. so maybe it is a good thing that it is a thing .. !!
Salads is also an addiction of mine , I love the simple combination tomatoes, mozzarella & basil.... actually it sounds so healthy .. but maybe it is not always the case .. for instance .. tomatoes are not in season all the time , but you can always use something else like figs, they are an excellent combination with mozzarella and basil ... also to be aware of salads at buffe tables .. they usually come loaded with different sauces and salsas ... yes majo ... nice in small amounts but easy to overeat speaking from personal experience , experiences many years ... yes I do love to eat and naughty things are always the best .. or are they not !!
I also sometimes make a avocado sauce to go with pasta , yum and it is quick & easy
Just blend avo , creme fraiche , oregano , oil , tabasco , parmesana cheese and some greens , goes warm together with the pasta or cold on the top !
Enjoy
The small tasty cherry tomatoes are also good for a pasta , cut them in halfes , mix in some garlic and onion , give it a quick go on the stove some parsley and parmesana cheese on top and tagliatelli .. well so good and easy !
The other day I made a sandwich , " quick lunch " , where I did put gorgonzola & avocado together with some tomatoes on top .. an excellent little dish !
Hello from the little caravan - kitchen 6 m2 ..... at Ihre - Gotland !
I have been at Gotland all the summer since early June , trying to get some dishes together in a little caravan kitchen ... at Ihre baden .. funny , funny and it kind of suits me perfect with some crazy working conditions .. this my last summer as a " food worker " here in Sweden ... next year it might be my " green - greek " cooking lessons on some island ...maybe .. or just an eating tourist somewhere ..
This was my morning view from the little kitchen .... not bad , Ihre baden is a beautiful place and we did get a lot of hungry sun and sea lovers !!
Shown above some plates from the lunch menu ... feels rather funny to make Greek Salad with a Swedish twist ... anyway must have made thousands of authentic ones in Greece , so why not !!
Since I live upp in the northern part of the island ... I pop by Slite a lot .. have kind of fallen in love with the little place ...
Picture above are from the old bath house in Slite , which is now a little cafe next to the sea where they serve Galettes ... sadly only open the very, very high season , would be a perfect place for an autumn day with warm tea ...
Some greek cooking anyone ?
Some small things we can learn to control ,
how kind You are
what You eat
Your happiness
what You believe
who You hang out with
what You talk about
how personally You take things
how openminded You are
Your effort
The summer has been perfect and fun ...... after my good byes , I am now back on the main land , and next project , moving house again .... yes tiring but I have too down size my life , since I am soon to be a pensioner .... and as I have mentioned before , after all my years in Greece there will not be much to get ....no rest for the wicked .... but since I am a rather energetic person I will go on and work some , though it is necessary to get a smaller place to live in ... so I am in for a huge clothes & belongings detox , it feels in a way refreshing to live with only the things you need and love most , to be able to travel more and do what you want , it must be my time now !!!
Time for a little lunch break ... thank god I have an avocado ........
I have been listening to a little mix - Lou Reed - Bach - Dylan - The Cure
Just dance , smile , hug , stretch , walk and be kind !!
