saltwater

It’s time to watch ‘Dazed & Confused’ again…
Indeed, my summer holiday has finally started and I’m going to make the most of it!

In a couple of hours, I’m leaving for Rock Werchter, my favorite music festival.
Five days of camping and music (Pearl Jam, The Cure, ...)

See you soon,
Sara

different shades of lilac

About a month ago it was lilac season. I did many neighborhood walks, searching for different shades and varieties as lilac trees don’t bloom at the same time.

Untitled Untitled Lilac and a strawberry rhubarb pecan loaf...

Strawberry Rhubarb Pecan Loaf from Smitten Kitchen
Makes one loaf
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon rum
1 cup flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup diced rhubarb
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Topping (Optional)
1 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 to 3 1/2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Beat together the brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla and rum. Combine the flours, salt and baking soda; stir. Add dry ingredients to first mixture with the sour cream. Stir in strawberries, rhubarb and pecans.
Spread into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan — the batter will be very thick. Combine topping ingredients except the pecans, they should be thick and clumpy; add the pecans last and sprinkle over the loaf.
Bake at 350° for about 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.

Love,
Sara

PS: this also makes me very happy

one-item wishlist

Cotton backpack from Baggu (found here)


There is only one item on my wishlist (and that is a miracle!).
I have a thing for backpacks; they're better for my shoulders, practical and most of all they’re fun.
This would make a perfect beach/summer bag!

Happy weekend,
Sara

What a weekend! On Saturday, I went to a Jubilee picnic hosted by one of my favorite shops near Brussels. It was a beautiful sunny day in the countryside…

Of course, I also made a Victoria Sponge cake.
A Jubilee without a Victoria Sponge cake? One is not amused!

How was your Jubilee weekend everyone? Did you do something special?

Love,
Sara
