Tiny Christmas Corner

Yesterday i got myself the tiny bird and the tiny matryoshka for my tiny tree. I would like to find some more decoration, but they were all for big trees, which would not make much sense: if i would get those we'd no longer see my tree. Also i got the Muji candle, Winter Cedar, which just smells fantastic ! The snow globe i got it last year as a present from La Fla, it is from Paris. Well .. my corner kind of look ridiculous as it is quite small in my big berlin room, but better than nothing, right ? 

Soupe du Jour

 For the winter i just have One advice : Make Soupe à l'Oignon ! C'est si BON ! (ok we hardly can see onions in the pics .. but i swear, there was onions ! i guess this post should rather be called "Fromage du Jour" !).

Sunday mood

Quick walk around the corner

Today, before going to work, J. and I enjoyed a very short but very nice walk. Actually, since weeks i wanted to check the little french shop "Saveur Champagne" and never made it, so today i finally did ! it is rather small but pretty charming. I got some 'Rillettes', some 'Crème de Marron' and the guy offered me a quiet big piece of 'Beaufort' (great cheese). So voilà, nice food for the cold snowy days :)

A long walk out in the snow

So tonight i have had a pretty long walk with J. We, for sure, stopped 2 times for glühwein, and one time we went into a café to warm ourselves up before heading up for the cold again. Today was i think a pretty nice day to go to the Christmas Market, the snow is fresh and still white. So Berlin looks pretty clean right now, and is also rather quiet. It shall get -17°C tonight, but it will feel like -24°C according to the weather forecast. Well i stay at home, next to my best friend : Monsieur Heating. Voilà.

First snow

Last week we had our first snow in Berlin. Perfect to have a little walk through Tiergarten with some warm coffee to go. 

L'épicerie

So .. the other day as i was at the Galeries Lafayettes in Berlin in the Friedrich str. i thought i check what they have and bring some nice little french food at home ... well .. i did not get anything, as mostly anything costs 3 times what you actually pay in France. so ok i like french food, but come on .. be reasonable. So today i was at the Epicerie in Berlin Schöneberg, it is a really cute shop, and they have a nice selection of products, and there is always a nice person to help you if needed. So i got myself the Pâté de Canard au Poivre Vert and the Sardines à la Luzienne, (i was then offered a Carambar .. hehe, sweet chilhood memories). Actually i got all that for J. with whom i like to share some nice fine food. Can't wait to try it all !

Big Like

Being lazy .. surfing on the net .. came across that image. i am a huge fan of Steve Zissou/ Bill Murray/ Captain Cousteau ! and this pic is just great. and it changes from the pics you can find when googling it. so enjoy !

Sunday mood

Beach House

Another sunny sunday in Berlin

Pictures i took during my little walk in town with S. Pretty cold, blue sky, just the kind of weather i like, as long as you are well wrapped up in a big wool scarf.
