Shopping, walk in the woods and truffle honey

Like I mentioned in this post, the day we woke up to a winter wonderland we were kinda stuck at home. I had a late breakfast consisting of a sandwich with my favourite whole grain bread, butter, cheese and some cloudberry jam. That jam is the bomb! I also had a few slices of cucumber and a cup of tea.

Then I spent a couple of hours on my computer, before I finally decided to put away my Christmas sales shopping…It was about time! :D

Instead of getting an early lunch we went for a walk in the woods nearby. That reminded me that I have to start doing my power walks again!

So for very late lunch V made breaded chicken with mash and I made the sour cherry sauce. I had this dish first time when we were visiting V’s relatives in north Serbia many years ago. I love sweet and sour combination so I fell in love with it instantly! 

     I bought this truffle honey when we were in Como during autumn. It’s an interesting combination and I think the flavours go very well together! I had just one teaspoon of it and it made the whole kitcken-livingroom area smell like truffles. ♥

Venice part 2/3

When we got of the train that is connecting Venice to the mainland and after taking just one step from the train station into the city, we found ourselves in the most magical of places! 

In front of us was the Grand Canal, busy with gondolas and water busses, a little church and a bridge-one of many!

Venice is not that big, if you know the way, and because I knew where the hotel was, I offered to lead the way. It looked simple on the google maps, but I was probably looking more at all the beautiful windows and taking pictures, so…we got lost. 

Then we agreed that I am the planer and V is leading the way :D 

Fanny thing about the hotel was that the stairs leading to our room were very! lopsided. Also, when we were visiting one of the palaces the flour was very uneven, it was scary actually. 

Anyway, we stayed at the hotel close to St. Marks square, for a very good price, probably because it was January and low season.

Now, for all of the 6 days we were there it was sunny, most of the time we didn’t even need hats and gloves. It was also not too crowded with tourist. If (when!) I would to go back I would definitely choose winter again or maybe fall.

This is one of my favourite pictures! How lucky is the person who works there?!

During our stay we visited many museums and palaces and enjoyed beautiful art.

But what I enjoyed the most was walking the streets and looking at the buildings, the bridges, people, and how they are dressed…Italians are born artists! 

And of course, the beautiful sunsets!
