Weekender x Tsuki Usagi Pot

October issue of The Weekender Magazine talks about Tsuki Usagi slim pot! It was about time Germans get to know this amazing kitchenware, popular for years now in Japan, especially among coffee lovers, drip coffee makers.
Chemex is featured too.

And the cover's from Blexbolex, one of the most talented illustrator in France. His work is amazing.
We talked about him in an older post here.

Alors que le jour de l'ouverture approche, les choses se font lentement mais sûrement.

Fashion Made in Berlin!

Last year already, I've found this clothing store, A Loja, in Kreuzberg, and was delighted by the pieces I've seen. How great it is to find such spot with many talented créateurs.
There is several brands, by young designers (most of them are foreigners based in Berlin) and actually some of them create and sew in the shop.
You'll find casual, fashionable, streetwear and sexy clothes!

I choose a sleeveless shirt (58 euros) by Antoniya Ivanova, and geometric lace legging (30 euros) by Claudia Vitali.

Kochhaus Berlin

Here, I ate one of the most delicious sandwich I ever tasted!
Italian ciabatta bread with goat cheese (log shaped one, very popular in France), red lettuce, slightly grilled, fresh rosemary and some hazelnuts / balsamic vinegar / honey / olive oil delicious dressing...
It looks like the one on the picture above... That one I had because they didn't have my favorite sandwich.

Kochhaus is a very smart concept grocery store: they present tables with a board showing a recipe, and on the table, all you need to create it at home with the right amount for one dish.
Beautiful, fun, and also an unexpected awesome lunch spot!

Sunny Sunday Morning

Bread in Germany can compete with the French one.
It's even better when a friend offers you a jar of honey, collected by her Dad, in Ibiza.

And, is it possible to love a knife that much?
I found it in an antique shop***, it's a German brand, WMF. It's silver and inox.
The drawing comes from the Brothers Grimm's tale: "Town Musicians of Bremen".

Le pain allemand n'a rien à envier au pain français.

Et il est encore meilleur si une amie t'offre un pot de miel recolté par son père à Ibiza.

Sinon, est-il possible d'aimer autant un couteau?

Je l'ai trouvé dans une boutique d'antiquitées***, c'est un couteau Allemand, de la marque WMF. Il est en argent et inox.
Le dessin vient d'un conte des Frères Grimm: "Les Musiciens de Brême".

LIV ~ Enamel Shop in Berlin

Each time with pass by, we enter this shop: Liv, in Prenzlauerberg.

And we bring friends who are visiting the city.

Nous y allons entrons à chaque fois que l'on passe devant: Liv, dans Prenzlauerberg.

Et on y emmène les copines en visite. 

Let's use enamel again!!!
Liv gave us the opportunity to discover again these houseware we're not using anymore.
Chinese plates and bowls are not expensive and I've bought a sample of almost every piece...
There is also Riess, an Austrian brand: they make pastel color pans that make you want to cook.
Well, we want it all now!

Revenons à la vaisselle en émail!!!

Liv nous a fait redécouvrir ces ustensiles de cuisine qu'on a plus l'habitude d'utiliser.

Les assiettes et bols chinois ne sont pas chers du tout et j'ai déjà acheté un modèle de chaque... ou presque...

Il y a aussi la marque autrichienne Riess, avec ses casseroles aux couleurs pastels qui donnent envie de cuisiner.

Bref, tout fait envie!

またホーローを使おう!!!
Livは私たちがなかなか使わなくなってしまった家庭用品、ホーローを再発見する機会を与えてくれます。
中国製のお皿やボウルはお手頃な価格で、ほとんどの種類を購入。。。
ここにはオーストリアのホーローメーカーRiessの商品も。
パステルカラーのお鍋があれば、おもわずお料理したくなっちゃう。
ほら、みんな思わず欲しくなっちゃうでしょ!
