Links I love


Hey Guys 
Here are a few links from this week´s Internet route, including clever DIY gift ideas and a recipe for the ultimate comfort food. This Saturday was spent at a Farmer´s market, so many delicious things on offer such as homemade jams, cheeses, artisanal breads and homemade candies. I love food and these kinds of markets are so much fun, I just wish they were held more often here in Reykjavík. Anyways I hope you all enjoy your weekend. 



 We have the coolest mayor ever here in Reykjavík!

A very cool idea - a DIY christmas gift  for the fashionista

Im loving this great christmas present/ decoration DIY

A thought provoking article on why it is important to live in the now

I always wanted to try making Sheperd´s pie - this recipe looks so delicious and the mint adds an unexpected twist.

Copenhagen

 Hey guys,

I took a little trip to Denmark earlier this month  to visit some friends. It was nice to be able to get away (even if it was just a long weekend) after a jam packed summer full of work. I was travelling with another friend and we had a lot of fun checking out the nightlife, eating good food and of course, shopping! I finally managed to upload the pictures (silly me, I lost the camera cable and only after buying a card reader I discovered that my laptop has a built in card reader.... oh well) and you can expect more photo posts in the near future.



 
Took this photo on the first night. A library in downtown Copenhagen

Yep that´s me, burgundy overload lady. I can see a theme here: burgundy and blue

On the last day we visited Torvehallerne, which is a big indoor market with food (my heaven), all kinds of handmade products like candles and soaps. A wonderful way to end the trip as I know nothing better than on a weekend than a food market/farmer´s market.
That´s one of the reasons I love visiting my family in France: every weekend there is a farmer´s market.

There was a small cupcake bakery/café with beautiful cupcakes in all kinds of flavours.
 

 
Dried fruit and nut
 
 
This booth sold french confections - my favourite being their cellophane wrapped wedges of nougat, in different kinds of flavours.

 
Charcuterie - this guy was selling salami, patés and various meat products
 
 
 
My favourite booth - they had a lot of french cheeses that you can´t find in Iceland ( No un pasteurized cheeses allowed into the country) 

 
A gourmet cheese stand
 
 
I had such a wonderful time, and I only wish I could have stayed longer and taken more pictures.
My camera memory chip filled up with pictures and unfortunatly I didn´t have a backup.
Copenhagen is a wonderful place to visit, there is so much going on there and many exciting places to see.
I  will post my favourite places in Copenhagen soon!

    • If there is one thing I love more than coffee in this world , it´s chocolate. And nuts. Together in blissful harmony. That is why I love Nutella. So I´m kind of obligated to try this recipe for  Homemade nutella
