Luminato

ended yesterday. It seems the main part that day was in our neighborhood: food tasting and a performance by Cirque de Soleil. I always promise myself to go out and enjoy more events like these. So yesterday I tried, but 10 min in, I decided to head back home… the general noise and mayhem was just too much, instant headache.
looking east...
looking west...and a familiar face in the crowd...
hmmm an incident at one of the food stands... was it that good or that bad...

mmmm more waffles

with Grand Marnier macerated strawberries and maple syrup…

beef stew with grainy mustard spätzle

I can see my home from Kinga's place...

Kinga's place is surrounded by groundhogs...

and a little groundhog baby...

dinner at Kinga's

red wine... but none for Justyna....citrus water...
salad...
sundried tomato dressing... delicious...
fresh bread...
and the pièce de résistance, eggplant parmigiana (lasagna)...
this was delicious... I had some for lunch the next day... yum
loose leaf tea... it tasted like coconut green tea...
for dessert sweet mango, green grapes, and cream rolls from Starsky
once I ate 10 of them in one sitting... I like them that much...

love the old streetcars…

bad drivers are scary…

taking a nap
