Côté Saveurs II

Yet again I had a wonderful evening with cooking and friends. It turned out to be a late night because we had so much food to prepare. After cooking for 2 and a half hours, the girls and I enjoyed our:

• Charlotte de chou-fleur aux aperges blanches et caviar d'Aquitaine
• Pigeonneaux aux morilles
• Cake aux agrumes et basilic et fraises....

Design City Luxembourg

Today I've been to town to check out the installations for the expo. Design City Luxembourg offers a series of events highlighting industrial and urban furniture design in different parts of the city, and the long-term aim is the integration of design as a philosophy of life and of the city. I find some of the installations very interesting and most comfortable (Holly All and Skystation) and some of them not so comfortable...

Ondine, M. Bihain & C. Callewaert

Skystation, Peter Newman

BD Love Lamp, Ross Lovegrove

Holly All, Phillipe Starck

Nice to see that the air planes over Luxembourg are back on their wings....

Design City

Today is the first day of the expo design city. For those who live in Luxembourg or thinking of coming here in the next 6 weeks, I will recommend you to take the designtrack in and around town, where you can find several installations. I hope I'll find time for it on Monday, and then I will post some pictures. Today and tomorrow there is a fleamarket at Aldringen where they sell secondhand designer furniture.
Go to designcity.lu for more info.
Have a nice weekend, now my garden is calling....

Jacqueline Devreux

Yesterday evening I had the pleasure to be invited to a private viewing of the Belgian artist Jacqueline Devreux. She wasn't known for me so I didn't know what to expect, but it really turned into a nice experience. Her paintings looks like old photos that she has painted over, and the colour pallett she use is just wonderful.
I did find a couple of paintings that I really liked, so if I win the lottery I know what to buy.....
I was allowed to take some photos, and give you here a little taste.

Place Guillaume

Every Wednesday and Saturday Place Guillaume is transformed into a lively market. I try to go there as often as I can since it's giving me a pleasant feeling and reminds me that I no longer live in Norway. The things you can buy, such as flowers, vegetables etc. are of high quality. And the best tapenade and aubergine puré you buy from Reza who lights up every time he sees me, because then he can practise his Norwegian :-)

wish you all a nice day
