My serotonin

Those of you who have followed this blog for a long time know how much I love to walk around the city. Preferably long walks.


So, on Wednesday Johan and I walked to the store opening I blogged about the other day.


Those subway trains.


Sometimes I take pictures because I like the colours.


And sometimes because I like the shapes.


And of things that make me giggle.


And stuff that make me laugh out loud. Running away from sex.


The Prinzenstrasse station is one of my favourite ones.


Bang!


Took a coffee break in Kreuzberg.


Wrong time.


Colour love.


This sign would make a great t-shirt print.


Long time, no see.


Berlin, I love you.


Colours & shapes.


Everything is opening up.


And some gold in the sky.

Let's focus on the good things, let's not be afraid, let's love. My thoughts go to Stockholm.

Take your time

This post is a collaboration with We Are Knitters and Kerbholz


When one of my favourite yarn companies We Are Knitters contacted me last year for a collaboration, I of course said yes. This is the third time we work together and this time together with Kerbholz.


I have lately been thinking about getting myself a watch as I haven't worn one since I got my first mobile phone in 1999. Sometimes I just wanna check the time, without being interrupted by messages etc. Great timing! Kerbholz has a beautiful graphic profile, which is a delight of course.


I chose the black and white yarn to knit a sweater, this one.


The collaboration between We Are Knitters and Kerbholz is called Nimm Dir Zeit (für DIY) (in English Take Your Time (for DIY)).


Took out my watch to show it Berlin the other day ;)


You might remember this yarn from a few slippers in my shop, here, here & here.


Knit knit knit. Such a therapeutic thing to do.

The Nimm Dir Zeit campaign goes on until April 23 and you get 15% off on your purchase with discount code sandrajuto15 on We Are Knitters and Kerbholz.

Grand Opening at Bolia

Last night I was invited to the grand opening of the redesigned Bolia furniture store in Charlottenburg.


After a 12 kilometer walk a glass of bubbles was a good start.


Bolia is a Danish company and even after six years in Berlin, I still feel very at home around Scandinavian design.


Met a bunch of nice people.


I read a while ago that blue is the colour of 2017 when it comes to interior design.


Flying golden pineapples, what else do you need? ;)


Well, food of course! They served mini burgers and mini hot dogs, very delicious.


More gold.


This wallpaper had sparkles in it (insert emoji with heart eyes).


Yum.


My partner in crime was there with me.


Lots of pastels everywhere. My favourite item was this sofa.


Thank you Bolia for a great evening!

My favourite dish at the moment (with recipe)

I made this yesterday and it was so delicious that I made it again today. And when I had scooped up food on the plate I thought Maybe I should blog about this, so here is a kind-of-recipe:

No Name Lunch (the batch I made is enough for 2 people)

Cook your favourite rice, I had thai jasmine at home.

While cooking the rice, do this:
Chop white cabbage
Chop leek
Fry in a pan with some neutral oil.

While frying, do this:
Chop garlic (2-3 cloves)
Grind ginger (thumb sice)
Put in a bowl together with:
1-2 teaspoons of honey
1 deciliter of soy (I use Yamasa, my favourite)
Chili flakes
& stir it to a sauce.

Pour the sauce into the pan with the cabbage and leek. Pour some water in as well, I think I ended up pouring about 2 deciliters. Throw in some seaweed and let everything simmer until the rice is ready.

Put everything on a plate and sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds and spring onions wherever you want it. If you want some extra spiciness, put some sambal oelek on the side (the red thing).

EAT!
By the way, it's vegan.

(I imagine it goes very well with tofu or salmon or beef or chicken and so on, too)

A new book, food and other important things

Last year I shot some pictures of Olaf Hajek's studio for this amazing book which is filled with inspiring studios by great artists.


I took a break from blogging for a couple of weeks, maybe you noticed ;) Brought my camera out from time to time.


Like that friday when I met my friend Jacqui for lunch and we ended up seeing the sun set twice, that's so much fun we have together.


Hung out at Santa Maria Eastside.


Nom nom nom.




Le Labo sent me a gift; a scented candle which makes my place smell great.


Johan's work for Gotham Imbiss.


Spring came and gave my kitchen the most amazing light.


From today, these leaves weren't visible four days ago.


And soon it's Easter. Do you celebrate? I don't.
