Chilly spring

Wed 25 Mar, 2015 · Fashion

Third attempt for the taming of my fave pair of trousers of the moment: as I said before it goes with a lot of my shoes, I will try to demonstrate this once more. This time, it’s with my superstar sneakers for a chilled out look.

I put on what a dear friend calls my “cleaning lady blouse” that is actually my long pink fluid blazer, close to the fluid trench coats worn last summer.

I had to wear a thick wooly cardi and a mini puffer underneath so I can still brave the not so springly temperatures but I fake it well, don’t you think? (English translation by TradIsa)

… and this is not the one you are thinking about! I am still a fan of men suits (especially since I watched ~~Kingsman~~ Colin Firth twice). When I found this British suit with Japanese inspirations, I could only give in. Made in Great-Britain (perhaps the same tailor as Kingsman?) and it has a few details that I am particularly fond of.

Besides, my shoes are from the Topshop Unique SS15 collection, shoes that I would probably wear only during events and parties where I would stay sat during the whole time (figurehead power!) considering the height of the heels, but the sporty-chic side easily convinced me.

Anyhow, to celebrate Alix‘s expected happy event, it was perfect.

Easy peasy recipe #2

Fri 20 Mar, 2015 · Food, Illustration

Omurice オムライス

We will continue the segment for the cooking newbies with this Japanese recipe of “Omurice” or “Omuraisu オムライス” if you pronounce it with a Japanese accent. It is actually a rice filled omelette mixed with meat. I tried out this dish in Tokyo, in the famous little restaurant where my favourite jap’ couple worked at. I enjoyed a beef omurice but today, it is garnished with chicken and mushrooms. Nothing revolutionary per se but it is a balanced meal that fits well with a side salad.

I inspired myself from a recipe I read in the very useful book “Tokyo, the cult recipes” and I adapted a few ingredients. Fox example, I didn’t colour my rice with ketchup only so it wouldn’t be too sugary but I produced (=a big word ! haha) a mix of ketchup-tomato pulp (in box).

You can also switch the garnishing by changing the chicken with beef Bourguignon from last night for example or any other meat that you fancy : there isn’t really a authentic chart of omurice and no one will check !

Like last time, the recipe is summarised in my drawing below : if you have any doubts with the order of execution, ask me ! The breakdown service “Cooking Padawan” is open all hours ! Itadakimasu ! (Bon appétit !) (English translation by TradIsa)
