Urban Land Project by Tim Simmons

With the Urban Land Project photographer Tim Simmons brings a little bit of natural environment into Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Murals, billboards and projections are included in this two city installation. The pictures serve as a gentle reminder, to the people who are used to their urban environment, that there's a lot of beauty out there. Goal is to make the viewer aware of his relation with nature.

plant journal

Love this new magazine Plant Journal from the same people of Apartamento magazine. Just like this last one it's full of amazing pictures and very well designed. From Staghorn to Eichhorn , from city gardens to farm life, from dry prairie landscapes to blossoming fruit trees. Can't get enough :)

Richard's salty French toast

Last sunday I went to have breakfast at a friend's place. Richard made me the best French toast ever.
Had to share this one:

Ingredients:
- Bio white or light bread
- soy milk
- 2 eggs
- mozzarella cheese
- fresh wild rosemary
- salt & pepper

Poor some of the soy milk in a bowl and add the 2 egg fillings , stir everything together. Then add the fresh wild rosemary and some salt & pepper. Stir again.
Melt some butter in a pan.
Slice of thick slices of the bread and dip every slice in the mixture.
Then put the slices in the pan and let every side bake for a view minutes.
Put some mozzarella on one slice and cover it up with another slice and bake the whole on both sides again for a few minutes.
Your French toast perfection is ready. It tastes very well with whipped creamcheese or with some fruit syrup or jam.

We had it with a nice cup of Ayurvedic tea and watched this movie. Sunday perfection!

Harmony by Charles, Prince of Wales.

"Everything is connected. If someone is left out of the circle, you're not going to have Harmony".

In this beautiful documentary we follow some of the projects of Prince Charles of Wales. With heart and soul he tries to save our planet. His love of nature makes him genuinely concerned about some of todays ecologic problems we're facing. He spends his time developing different projects in order to find sustainable solutions and alternatives to today's mass consumption. His philosophy, vision and comprehension of the deeper problems really amazed me. I never thought of him this way, but this really made me like him. He is usually very introvert, but talking about these things makes him open up to all of us, I really sympathized with him.

spring

 Next week I will make my terrace spring ready and plant my homegrown tomatoes and zucchinis! These pictures of 'The Girl Who Married The Bear' inspire me. I really feel like having my own garden now!

Enjoy the spring everyone
