Heather mini flowers arrangements













I wanted to do something really simple and naive but, at the same time, cheerful for my niece`s holy communion.So I thought this mini Heather flowers arrangements would be the perfect decoration for the afternoon tea.
I just took some mini plastic shot cups, put a little bit off foam inside, added the flowers. The advantage of these flowers arrangements is that we know exactly how they going to look like on the day, because the flowers are already dried, so it’s less one thing to worry about on the day of the event. They also can be cheap, but certainly they look smart. By doing mini flowers arrangements we can spread them in different parts of the table or gather them all together at different levels to create different effects. I added the litle bows with the ribbon that I had available and glue them to the cup.

It is not about spending money it is about a bit of imagination!

Easy, delicious elegant starter with melon, Parma ham and figs

I love this starter! It’s so simple But almost everyone likes it! Takes almost no time to do, doesn’t require any kitchen skills and can look great if you present it in a nice way. All what you need is a melon or galia melon, whatever you prefer, and a pack of Parma ham. If you can buy two different tips of melon you will get different colours on the plate. Preparation Make little balls of melon with a kitchen utensil.  Display on a plate.  Shred in big pieces, slices of Parma ham and display randomly on the top of the melon. If you have some dried figs, you can also chop one on the top of each plate. And you delicious easy starter is done! You can have it just as a snack with a glass of bubbles or use as starter with different mains. The remaining melon can be used straight away, if you blend it with some water and mint, for a lovely drink, otherwise you can freeze it and use for smoothies.

Berlin Balls on the beach - Bolas de Berlim na praia

Bola the Berlim is fried sweet dough, filled with egg cream that became part of the Portuguese culinary tradition. Our favourite place to it, is on the beach! The Portuguese recipe is an adaptation of the original Berliner. The original was brought to Portugal during WWII, when Jewish German families took refuge in Portugal. The originals were filled with red berries jam. But the Portuguese most popular version is filled with egg cream, more in line with our taste and traditions. We love egg sweets in Portugal. We also use just normal sugar to dust it, rather than powder sugar. There are plenty of versions around the world, but I love the Portuguese recipe. You can find this Bolas de Berlim in any pastelaria (bakery with coffee shop), but our favourite place to eat them, no doubt, is on the beach. That’s when they taste out of this world. It is a Portuguese tradition and I don't know any portuguese who doesn't have memories eating them on the

Taking the local ferry in Istambul - Europe to Asia

Istambul is a city divided between two continents, by the Bosphorus strait. Sometimes, the world seems too big, but in days like this, when crossing between Europe and Asia (Karakoy - Kadikoy), takes only 15 minutes on a ferry, it seems too small. Once in Istanbul, there is no need of booking expensive touristic tours along the Bosphorus, you can simply use your Istanbul card, top it up, and take as many ferries as you want. That includes from Europe to Asia and Princess Islands. In fact, this is a much better way to see things, just as locals do. On the boat you can have a tea or a snack while you watch the amazing views of both sides. It is really worth to travel to Kadikoy on the Asian side and spend a day there. The price of the ticket was just 3TLeach way!!
