Buffala, peas and mint

by Sofia   -   in Cooking

I have the best recipe for you to try over the weekend. I had it for a starter at dinner in the Soho house in London and it was a genius  recipe in all it´s simpleness. It´s going to be my summer house lunch staple too as the girls can help shell the fresh peas.

Buffala mozzarella, peas and mint

1 buffala mozzarella ( or burrata if you can find one)

about 150g fresh ( or frozen and thawed) peas

a handful of fresh mint

a large dash of good olive oil

Maldon salt & freshly ground black pepper

Assemble on a plate by putting the peas first, and a pinch of salt and a little olive oil. Put the mozzarella on top, tear it open with your hands. Add a large dash of olive oil, use the best you have for this. Tear a handful of mint on top and season with salt and pepper. This is one portion so make one for each or make a big plate to share and maybe count half a mozzarella per person. So fresh, so good and so simple. As always when the ingredients speak for themselves use the best you can find. So don´t buy the cheap mozzarella and use your cooking oil.

Nailmatic kids

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids

Sain viime viikolla kutsun lounaalle jossa kuulimme hieman Nailmaticin uutuuksista ja yrityksestä itsestään. Esillä oli myös suloiset Nailmatic Kidsin lakat joista meidän tytöt tykkäävät hirmuisesti. Uutuutena on tulossa myös lasisessa roll on hylsyssä herkullisen tuoksuiset huulikiillot. Kynsilakat ovat vesipohjaiset ja ne voi pestä pois lämpimällä saippuavedellä.  Kyseessä on enemmänkin lapsille suunnattu värileikki kuin meikit. Hauskat pakkaukset ovat säilyneet ennallaan joten niissä on vieläkin ihanat värityskuvat. Erityisen kivana uutuutena oli myös toivottavasti jo pian myyntiin tulevat yllätystötteröt joissa on lakan lisäksi pienet värikynät, leikki tatuointi, ilmapallo ja tikkari. Siis ihan täydellinen kaverisynttärilahja!

I was invited to a luncheon last week to hear about the company Nailmatic and to see their new collection. We love their nail polishes for the girls! Now the girls were so excited to try out their new colours.

Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

Hello sweet Spring you are my happy thought number one. Isn´t it great to wake up when it´s light outside. I just LOVE it! I feel I have even more positive energy than normally. Spring makes me feel that giddy “new crush”- way.

Here are some other silly things that make me happy…

Stripes! I love stripes so much I don´t really care what they are on. If you put them in your packaging I´m probably your customer. Pastel stripes? Even better…
