Weekend recap and a recipe


Friday morning, five minutes before we had to leave for school, Eva told me that she was supposed to dress up as
her favorite book character. She had book week at school, and they were doing a parade to finish it off.
I put her into my vintage oma nightdress, stuffed a rabbit into her hand and pronounced her Alice in Wonderland.

She was not impressed (might help her to remember earlier the next time...:




Always during book week, there is a big book sale. I told Eva she can select one book. This is what we came home with...:

 


Saturday morning spring sunrise:



Tea and cheese cake with my friend Cecile:


 


The rest of the weekend was spent in true African fashion:



 


This is what I saw when I looked up from my favorite couch:




And now for the recipe:  


Mandarine Cottage Cheese Cream


It is citrus fruit season in Namibia. I made litres of lemonade already, and now had to find something to do with the mandarines 
a friend gave me. They are small, full of pips and very sour:



To make the cream, you will need any type of citrus fruit juice:



Mix the juice with cottage cheese and sugar. And for the final touch I added some Orange Blossom Syrup. Yumm!:




Have a great start to a great week!



Lots of love,

  9. In my son's school is a bookfair at the moment and when I picked some books, I heard the lady at the register saying: sorry honey, but you can't get all these books, you don't have the money for it. After a while, the girl got it ...
    So next time cut the money of ... But I guess Eva will read all her books. God bless!
