Happy Holiday!!

I hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day. Have a great day and fabulous week.

Sitting in a tree

It's so hot and sticky these days that wearing lightweight dresses that don't stick to your body is the best. Though I think I may only own two or three dresses that qualify as non-sticky in hot weather so it might be an idea to invest in a few more since it's not even proper summer yet. I bought the dress I am wearing in the photos a couple of years ago in London and it is by far one of my favorites although I seldom wear it since it feels so overly romantic.
I suppose most of you are not burdened with such impossibly hot weather (at least not yet!), but what do you wear to feel a little bit more at ease when it is incredibly hot outside?









Dress from Traffic People, leotard (underneath) from American Apparel, and hair bow from Bianco.

Lentil and quinoa salad.

I keep forgetting to eat enough legumes (most likely because I don't know enough recipes with legumes in them), which I absolutely should as a vegetarian, but every so often I commit myself to making a meal with lentils, beans or peas. Yesterday was one of those days and I came up with a lentil salad that contained a lot of quinoa as well - the reason why I've opted to call it a lentil and quinoa salad.




1. Boil about two dl of green lentils and about two - three dl of quinoa. Let cool.



2. Chop one small onion and a few cloves of garlic.



3. Grind three small carrots.



4. Slice one big cucumber or two small.



5. Slice some green onion. I used quite a lot of it since I love green onion.



6. Slice one paprika and mix everything together.



7. Add lemon zest.



8. And sesame seeds.



9. Voilá! Sprinkle with some salt, a tiny bit of pepper and add parsley and coriander (preferably fresh!)

Random photos from when my parents were here.

I had planned to post this a few days ago, but these last couple of days I've been feeling somewhat under the weather and haven't really been up to blogging. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days time and then I'll be back again. These are just random pictures from my parents' visit here; from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and from Max Brenner (chocolate restaurant).
