in my kitchen

 over the past few days, has been lot's of hustle and bustle,

:: baked, cooked, brewed and flowers arranged

:: found the wonderful ice tea from teekult to be the perfect drink of every day and occasion

:: made tabouli two times already

:: ate the cherry tomatoes by the dozen

:: baked summer zucchini bites for lunch and dinner and take along lunch too

:: hunted down some big fat flies and trapped the little fruit flies next to the fruit bowl, with success!

:: savored the wonderful loaf of zucchini bread with some nice slices of tom (the soft white cheese...)

:: made moussaka for the first time in my life. as the bounty of eggplant is going over board

:: spent the moment of enjoying a meal mostly outside, behind the house under our chestnut tree. i know this is not really "in my kitchen, though for this summer i adopted the place to be my kitchen as well.

:: could not really get myself around to bake bread, instead one of the kids has to quickly run across the street to the baker. how wonderful is that, in this summers heat.

:: the coffee machine has been on too, for some wonderful fresh iced coffee. though i have to say, i'm pondering to cold brew again, as it has been fantastic when i did. here the place which inspired me to do so

:: absolutely love the summer veggies, splurging on tomatoes and green beans, being able to put some away for the colder season of the year.

:: and even more loving it, when some other folks use the kitchen for baking and cooking. when i'm able to just sit down and eat with everyone around the table, savor each and every bite, thank you friends of the house!
