<span style="color: #666666;">Could you share a recipe of one of
your favourite winter dishes?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I love soups and I love mushrooms,
so my favourite winter fish is “<b>Creamy mushroom soup</b>”!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Ingredients
we need:<br />
• 1 medium brown onion, thinly sliced (this is the
official, in my opinion, onion is never too much, so I usually add
two big onions)<br />
• 500g mushrooms, thinly sliced <br />
• 2 cups
chicken or vegetable stock<br />
• 1/2 cup low fat cream <br />
•
chopped fresh chives, to serve<br />
• Olive oil (or butter), salt and
pepper</div>

Last year when I realized that there was
no room for a Christmas tree, due to living room renovation, I glued
tiny magnets on the back side of Christmas balls of different sizes
and colours and put them on my double door fridge. They looked like
they were floating! Everyone admired them and no one noticed the
absence of the Christmas Tree!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I love everything about autumn. The
slow transition into winter and the sunshine that sometimes appears
just after a dark day and the fiery oranges and yellows all around,
the smell of the grass after the rain and the rainbows on the
horizon.</div>

Decking out the front porch for
Halloween. Our porch gets more elaborate every year. It sounds creepy
to say, but my husband and I get a kick out of scaring little kids.
To us, that feeling of startled delight one gets when watching a
horror movie (or having someone jump out from behind a door and yell
"boo") is priceless.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/theyarnkitchen" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcIDNCW-kVVm8578HTWqALKRrGz8kFABXBjyLzXLeaVON7sI5RefLMr2IIcTvR8RFUWan71_3wVm0iByr7F4FSlAgi_k-9G-nJeO_8-U6WFjON41XWEcABcWL_OBB58kRnAv8sBuJDXGI/s1600/Untitled-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">What is it about autumn, that you like most?</span><br />
One of the best thing in Autumn is the cooler weather, I find myself smiling and feeling uplifted as soon as the cold breezes start to come in September or October. There are few things I enjoy as much as a long walk when the weather is cool and crisp, but there are lots of other things I like about fall, too. I love the changing colours on the trees and the beginning of a new season with its projects and promises to be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: white;">What is your favourite kind of rain?</span></span><br />
Well I’m more a sunny lover but I like rain especially that kind of misty rain that often occur here in the North of Italy during fall, not heavy rain, something really calming and soothing, so nice for mother earth end people.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">What is your favourite song about rain?</span><br />
My fav is "Singing in the Rain", it’s so happy and make me feel in a sort of vintage mood, absolutely gorgeous, I sing it loudly when I’m outside with bike under the rain (well if it is not too heavy.. otherwise is better not to tell what I sing ).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Could you share a recipe of one of your favourite autumn dishes?</span><br />
I’m a proud cooker and eater and autumn is really a wonderful season on the table, we have some wonderful fruit and radishes that are now fully ripe.<br />
<br />
My last favourite dish is a red beetroot appetizer, I tasted it in Paris and make it a lot of time now.<br />
<br />
<b>Millefeuille de betterave </b><br />
<br />
4 people<br />
2 medium red beetroot cooked and peeled<br />
Basilic pesto<br />
Parmigiano 16 month old thinly sliced<br />
Balsamic vinegar<br />
Lemon zest<br />
You have to thinly slice the beetroot and alternate a slice of beetroot, a dazzle of pesto and a slice of parmigiano. At the end put a little more pesto, lemon zest and some drops of balsamic vinegar. Serve it cold with a glass of white wine.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">What is you favourite DIY autumn project?</span><br />
I like to collect things from the wood, acorn caps, pine cone, leaves and then I prepare little gift to use during holiday season in my shop. I always put a little gift from the earth.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">What is it about autumn, that you like
most?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I spent my younger years in southern
California where it was about the same temperature and weather
conditions through every season. Now that I live in Washington,
I love the change of seasons when all the trees turn red and gold and
the air is crisp. It's also my season of pumpkin spice lattes
and scarves...lots and lots of scarves. </div>

<span style="color: #666666;">What were your favourite things
to do in autumn when you were a child?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Autumn just reminds me of going back to
school as a child - which I absolutely loved! Especially the
"Back to School" shopping.</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">What is your favourite kind of rain?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It's not very "autumn-like,"
but I LOVE swimming in the ocean in warm rain. I've only
experienced it on a couple trips to Maui, but it probably the most
enjoyable rain I've been in. </div>

<span style="color: #666666;">What is it about summer, that you like
most?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We like summer for long sunny days and warm weather. This is
great time for walking in the forests and parks, swimming in the
lake, spend evenings looking at the stars and getting new
inspiration to create original art works.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Where did you
spend summer vacations, when you were a child. What are your
favourite memories of that time?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When we were children we often
spent summer vocations at the village with grandparents. It was
sweet children time when you can play all day. It was great chance
to escape from the city bustle for several months and enjoy calm
environment.</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Do you have any story to tell, about
something special, that happend to you in summer?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The most
special that happened to us in summer was trip to the USA on the
program Work & Travel. We worked as lifeguards in the
water-park. It was really interesting and great time.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">If you
could only read one book all summer long, what book would it be?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We
would love to reread “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by
Joseph Murphy.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #666666;">What music makes you feel summer?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Song
“Feeling Good” by Michael Buble associates with
summer.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">If
you were to make a summer-film-list, which films would you put on

Seven Pounds<br />
Memoirs of a Geisha<br />
The Adjustment

Forrest Gump<br />
Amélie<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Fruit Salad</b><br />
This fruit salad
works with any fruit you've got. Try it with chunks of peaches,
plums or nectarines in summer; sliced apples or pears or a handful
of grapes in fall; pomegranate seeds in winter; or quartered<br />
fresh
figs in spring.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 navel orange, 1 small
grapefruit, or 2 clementines<br />
1 cup fresh berries<br />
1 banana<br />
1
piece seasonal fruit (apple, pear or grapes)<br />
2 tablespoons
honey<br />
1/2 vanilla bean, optional<br />
<br />
Trim off all the peel and
pith from the oranges or grapefruit. Halve or quarter them top to
bottom, and slice crosswise into thin pieces. (With clementines,
simply peel and pull into segments.) Halve or quarter strawberries
if large. Peel and slice the bananas. Prepare the seasonal fruit
as needed. Toss all the fruit in large bowl. Stir the honey and
vanilla bean, if using, in a small bowl and microwave on low until
just warmed and syrupy, about 1 minute. Toss with fruit and let cool.
Transfer to an air-tight container and pack with spoon.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;">What
is you favourite DIY summer project?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In summer time we collect
different kinds of fruits, berries and herbs growing at the
village. Then we put them drying and make tea. We drink it in
autumn and winter to get warm and remember wonderful summer time.<br />

There's a delicious mango, avocado and
arugula salad I love for the summer. And it's super easy: add
thin julienne slices of ripe mango and avocado to a bowl of arugula
leaves. For the dressing, shake up a mixture of olive oil,
balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar and a dash of maple syrup with
some salt and pepper. Top with shaved almonds for a pretty
presentation. Mmm...</div>

I like most of the summer the long
day's light. Spending more time outside, having my morning coffee in the garden, making
holiday plans and plan to do some studio work outside.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As a child we spend many vacations in
the mountains in Europe (the Alps or Scandinavia) The best memories I have is that we as
a family spend some nice and cosy weeks together. We made walks through flower fields, rivers &
snow, camping wild, see wildlife close by and at the end of the
holiday we always made cheese fondue.</div>

Do you have any story to tell, about
something special, that happened to you in summer?</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When I was a student at the School of
Art I hitch hiked with a friend to Bretagne in France. We had no
money to spend and on the beach we discovered mussels.
We collected a bag full, cooked them and ate some...They were full of
sand because we forgot to wash them... we had no diner. This was once but
never again!</div>

Where did you spend summer vacations,
when you were a child. What are your favourite memories of that time?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I spent many of my summer vacations in
Madeira Island, a Portuguese island in the coast of Morocco where my
mother's family lives. One of the memories I treasure most is
drinking Clementine tea made by my grandmother every night before
going to sleep - we would pick the leaves every night and the tea
would always be accompanied by the village's baker special cookies!<br />

Could you share a recipe of one of your
favourite summer dishes?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
My favourite dish to eat in the summer
is grilled fish. Simply barbecue the whole fish adding only sea salt.
After it's done drizzle it with olive oil - it's so simple but it
captures beautifully the taste of the sea. To go with it just make a
simple tomato salad with dried oregano or roast some peppers and make
a salad with them. It doesn't get more simple that this!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
All three of us had a great summer
together once, in a small village in Hungary, by a lake, sharing a
wee house with a few students, and spending the days just
crafting/teaching – weaving, braiding, felting, basket making,
filling the evenings with amazing meals made from local produce,
drinking milk from the cows next door! </div>

If you could only read one book all
summer long, what book would it be?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It's been the most miserable summer in
Scotland – all rain for a few months now – so on a friend's
recommendation we've been re-discovering The Hundred Years of
Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez … there's amazing passages in
it about the never-stopping rain :-)</div>

of your favourite summer dishes?</div>

It's not really a dish – our
favourite summer thing must be elderflower drink! Just pick the
flowers, wash, put it in a jar with water, slices of lemon and sugar
/ or honey, and leave it in the fridge for a few days – voilà! The
most refreshing beautiful drink ever.</div>

Where did you spend summer vacations,
when you were a child? What are your favourite memories of that time?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When I was a child we lived in a city
called Natanya, located by the sea. When I was 8 I was dancing in the
middle of a city central square during the whole summer. It was a
magical period for me. </div>

Do you have any story to tell, about
something special, that happend to you in summer?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
One summer, when i was still a student,
I came to visit my boyfriend. It was just the beginning of our
relationship. We put a chair in the middle of his yard with many
orange trees around. He sat on the chair and I made him a haircut
using scissors and a comb, just like in the old days . The process
was so much fun, but the result a little controversial :) </div>

What is it about summer, that you like
most?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I guess what I like most about summer
is the impression that everything gets warmed up by the sun
after waking up from a beauty sleep. It all happens outdoors and you
can make bicycle tours and have a picnic on a meadow full of flowers.
That´s unbeatable to me. I love to cook and bake and the variety
of freshly reaped fruits and vegetables from the garden is
wonderful.</div>

Do you have any story to tell, about
something special, that happened to you in summer?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
On a trip to Lisbon we had to stay
longer cause of the volcano in Iceland. That was one of my best vacations. I love the city and it was my first trip together with my
sister. We stayed at a hostel where in the evening everybody ate
together and so after the first meal we knew 20 amazing people. We
made a lot in common like we were old friends and till now I have
contact to some of them. That was an amazing time cause it really
felt like we live in Lisbon, not just being a tourist.</div>

If you could only read one book all
summer long, what book would it be?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When I find an interesting book I
deliberately read it very slowly to have more time with it. I loved
the book "The Shadow of the Wind" from Carlos Ruiz
Zafón. The book describes a mystical Barcelona and the
fascination of written words. I especially like the place called the
secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books. It´s a library full of old,
forgotten books lovingly preserved by a few initiates. During my studies I lived in Barcelona
for 6 months and I am very sad I didn´t read it while I was there.
But I recognize a lot of streets and areas whilst reading the book.</div>

What music makes you feel summer?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
At the moment I am delighted about the
Emerald Isle - Ireland. "If I ever leave this world alive"
from Flogging Molly and "The Galway Girl" from Steve
Earle makes me always dream of vacations. "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwFS69nA-1w" target="_blank">First day of my life</a>" from
Bright Eyes is a brilliant lovesong for summer, especially because of
the nice video they made.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuHtYtrMFUU" target="_blank">Fake Foxes</a>" from Sizarr
because of his incredible voice and the beat.</div>

Salma Hayek;</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"The Secret in Their Eyes" -
my favourite movie, the authentic actors are brilliant;</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"Charade" - the classics and
Audrey and Cary are the best!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"Lars and the Real Girl" -
very affecting, I like the mood and the idea. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"Adams Apples" - cool story
and very funny.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
"P.S. I love You" - silly
title but one of my favourites cause of the idea and Ireland.</div>

What is you favourite DIY summer
project?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I am moving in August. In my new flat I
have a balcony for the first time in my life. My DIY project is is to
plant herbs on it and make it very cosy. I know hat´s not really
a DIY project, but since <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/brittamanger" target="_blank">Birdtoldme </a>is my full-time job in my free
time I am happy doing something totally different. But I guess that
folding birds and foxes on the balcony among herbs and flowers sounds
like a perfect match. </div>
