POSTCARDS FROM THREE SOUTHERN CITIES BY TRAIN, CHAPTER II, THE MARKET








Lunch time greetings from a trip two weeks ago. Fresh scents middle of salty sea winds. Bright colors, hunger growing. Always playing a game in markets, imagining how things that are next to each other would taste together. From these a favorite might be radishes with beetroots (beetroots cut in very thin slices, olive oil, black pepper and salt over and to oven to make them to crispy chips, accompanied by fresh radish salad). Or White is White -tea (blend of grapefruit and aloe vera) and Amande -sugar (almond sugar).


For today, mushroom sauce with potatoes, cantaloupe-cucumber salad and rhubarb soup with whipped oat cream. 


Blueberry leaves are drying for a winter´s tea blend. Maybe this weekend some raspberry leaves could be found to be dried too. The weather map shows rain for the days ahead. Many books waiting to be read.


Have a sunny weekend!
Bon appétit!

      Here are the hottest days so far, so cold tea feels very good even in the morning.

      Sunny days to you!
