Blumenschnecke





























I totally love to pass by Sylke John's  flowershop "Blumenschnecke". I met Sylke a long time ago when she still worked in another flower shop. Now she has not only a loving husband but also a sweet little daughter, two super cute kittens and her own flowershop at the family's B&B.  And happily she brought along  all her creativity and sense for colours and surprises.































The little snailshells inspired her for the flowershop's name.
































I initially dropped by just to get some peonies (my own ones in the garden are still a bit lazy- no surprise with the cold temperatures) and I left the shop with an armful of white and cream gillyflowers, some historical roses emanating a dazzling scent and all the deep red peonies there were.








































Girl and boy, zebra and leopard....

this is what I'm going to eat tonight







Asparagus with cucumber-tomato-rocket-mushroom vinaigrette


500g green asparagus
a piece of cucumber
1 tomato
a handful of mushrooms
a small bundle of rocket leaves
olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper

Boil the asparagus (about 10 minutes) until it hangs slightly curved over the fork when you lift it.
In the meantime prepare the vinaigrette with the chopped vegetables.

Pour  the vinaigrette over the warm asparagus, serve and enjoy!
