Bank holiday museum trip

Today is a bank holiday in the UK which basically means no work. Me and Peter headed out in the rain towards the V&A museum.

I realized Peter matched the walls so I had to take a few (well, more then a few) pictures of him in his camouflage.

Greatness.

Tomato sauce and pattypan squash

The other day we made a quick dinner before heading south for a house warming party in Victoria Park Village. I did a super simple tomato sauce from scratch. Just chop a small onion, a clove of garlic and four big tomatoes.

Some wine while cooking.

Peter made oven baked pattypan squash. Just slice the squash and put pieces of butter and basil on top of it. Then bake for 30 minutes in 175 degrees.

I guess some chefs will be crying about how I make tomato sauce but WHATEVS. First, I like to use a small tbsp veggie bouillon. You won't need any salt if you use this though cause it's really salty.

If you use organic tomatoes you can let the twigs (sprigs?) cook together with the tomatoes for a while cause they'll give a nice taste. Just don't forget to take them out before mixing/eating.

Throw in some basil as well. I also seasoned with a bit of agave syrup and a tsp of balsam vinegar.

This sauce is quicker then other homemade tomato sauces cause I don't add any water and I let it boil on quite high heat until everything's mashed together. No slow food this time.

Then I use a mixer to make it smooth.

The finished baked pattypan. It tasted so buttery and a little nutty and was heaven.

Our bedroom

I've never showed you our bedroom because it's been a really boring room until now. But when I moved the bed around and did some other minor adjustments I'm finally quite happy about it. 

The only thing I've bought is the Ikea hanger, the plant, the sheepskin and the yellow charity shop lamp. The previous tenants left the shelf and the bed came with the flat (it was brand new though). The chair however, is a street find. Sometimes London in generous.

On the other side is our old chest of drawers that we brought from our previous flat and another amazing poster by Edvin Thungren which says "High five feeling". It's been rolled up for a while so I've attached some odds and ends to try and flatten it.

Mum + sis

My mum and sister (aka two of my favorite people) just booked tickets to London in September!

Breakfast on the roof

Today we woke up slightly hungover and as we lay in bed doing nothing we started talking about breakfast; hotel breakfasts, breakfast buffets. Things like this can become such an obsession, like you have to make the best breakfast ever. So we got dressed quickly and walked down to the local supermarket on the corner to buy freshly made croissants, baguettes, eggs, grapes and Cawston press juice.

Then we made coffee and scrambled eggs and climbed out the window to have breakfast on the roof.

It ended up even better then hotel buffet breakfasts.

Hackney stroll

This last Thursday both me and Peter had a day off work at the same day, something that hadn't happen since our holiday in Sweden, so we decided to take a stroll down to London fields. I started off in a good mood.

After a lunch at Broadway Market we walked alongside Regents Canal down to Victoria Park.

On our way back later we ended up at Netil House.

Netil 360 is a great rooftop bar, but this early it was almost empty (which was kind of nice).

Then we strolled back home and I started to feel like I was gonna catch a cold. The feeling is still there but no cold yet.  Maybe it's just autumn coming to get me.
