Hello everybody, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
Springtime is asparagus time - yeah! I love it, when the fresh green and white asparagus spears are finally available in the supermarket and the blogs and cooking magazines fill up with asparagus recipes. It so happens, that today's recipe is actually inspired by the current <a href="https://www.billa.at/Frischgekocht_ONLINE/Frisch_Gekocht/Magazin/Magazin_Startseite/FgContent.aspx" target="_blank">frisch gekocht </a>(freshly cooked) magazine where they combined white asparagus with mashed beans, bacon and hazelnuts. As David is vegetarian and we therefore only cook meat-free at home I made a vegetarian version and replaced the bacon with tofu and the hazelnuts with a delicious mix of roasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and soy beans. But see for yourself... <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Frühling ist Spargelzeit - juhu! Ich freu mich immer riesig, wenn es endlich die grünen und weißen Spargelstangen zu kaufen gibt und sich die Blogs und Zeitschriften mit Spargelrezepten füllen. So kommt es auch, dass das heutige Rezept vom neuen <a href="https://www.billa.at/Frischgekocht_ONLINE/Frisch_Gekocht/Magazin/Magazin_Startseite/FgContent.aspx" target="_blank">frisch gekocht-Magazin</a> inspiriert ist, wo weißer Spargel mit Bohnenpüree, Speck und Haselnüssen kombiniert wird. Da David Vegetarier ist und wir dementsprechend zu Hause nur fleischfrei kochen, habe ich das Rezept allerdings etwas abgewandelt und eine vegetarische Version gezaubert, mit Tofu statt Speck und einem herrlichen Salatkerne-Mix anstatt der Haselnüsse. Aber seht selbst... </i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
What you'll need / Das wird gebraucht </h3>
for 2 persons<br />
<ul>
<li>500 g green asparagus / <i>500 g grüner Spargel</i></li>
<li>ca. 500 g canned white beans (small and big) / <i>500 g weiße Bohnen aus der Dose (groß und klein)</i></li>
<li>1 garlic clove / <i>1 Knoblauchzehe</i></li>
<li>olive oil / <i>Olivenöl</i></li>
<li>herb mix (thyme etc.) / <i>Sonnentor Gute Laune Salz</i></li>
<li>200 ml vegetable stock / <i>200 ml Gemüsesuppe</i></li>
<li>little bit of lemon juice / <i>ein bisschen Zitronensaft</i></li>
<li>50 g seed mix / <i>50 g Salatkerne-Mix</i> </li>
<li>100 g smoked tofu / <i>100 g Räuchertofu</i></li>
<li>3 tbsp. butter / <i>3 EL Butter</i></li>
<li>salt and pepper / <i>Salz und Pfeffer</i></li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht</h3>
Heat up some water in a large pot and bring it to boil. Add some salt to the water. Remove the asparagus' stringy ends and cook the asparagus for about 10 to 15 minutes until it's firm to the bite.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Schneidet die holzigen Spargelenden ab und kocht den Spargel in einem großen Topf mit Salzwasser für etwa 10 bis 15 Minuten, bis er bissfest ist. </i></span><br />

<br />
Chop the garlic clove and let the beans drain. Heat up some olive oil in a pot and brown the garlic for a minute. Then add the beans and the vegetable stock and let everything boil for about five minutes. Mash the beans using a blender-shaft and season the puree with salt, pepper, herbs and lemon juice.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Die Knoblauchzehe klein hacken und die Bohnen abtropfen lassen. Etwas Olivenöl in einem Topf erhitzen und den Knoblauch kurz darin anbraten.

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Den Tofu in kleine Würfel schneiden. Wieder etwas Olivenöl erhitzen, diesmal in einer Pfanne, und den Tofu für eine Minute anbraten.

Hello everybody, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
as you all know, it's Mother's Day on Sunday and I thought some of you might still need some inspiration on what to get for your mommis. Of course, you could simply present them with the classics such as chocolate, perfume or flowers, but I'm thinking in a little different direction. As you already know from <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/seven-sustainable-christmas-present.html" target="_blank">this </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">post</a>, I'm a huge fan of gifts that are actually no things at all, but mutual activities. This also applies here! Therefore I came up with some fun ideas, on how you could spend a lovely day with your mom, which will (hopefully) stay in your memories for a long time. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>wie ihr ja alle wisst, ist am Sonntag Muttertag und ich dachte, dass der/die Eine oder Andere von euch vielleicht noch etwas Inspiration benötigt, womit ihr euren Mamas am Sonntag eine Freude machen könnt. Natürlich kann man sich einfach an die Klassiker halten und Schokolade, Blumen oder Parfum verschenken, aber ich denke in eine etwas andere Richtung. Wie ihr ja bereits aus <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/seven-sustainable-christmas-present.html" target="_blank">diesem Post</a> wisst, bin ich ein großer Fan von Geschenken, die eigentlich gar keine Dinge sind, sondern gemeinsame Aktivitäten. Daher habe ich mir ein paar Ideen einfallen lassen, wie ihr einen schönen gemeinsamen Tag mit euren Müttern verbringen könnt, der (hoffentlich) lang in eurer Erinnerung bleibt. </i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a> <h3>
1) Brunchtime / Brunchzeit</h3>
If your mum enjoys going out for brunch, invite her to one. Choose a lovely café, maybe one your mom doesn't know yet, where you know the breakfast choices are great. Brunch is actually kind of my personal Mother's Day classic, because my mom and I made that last year and will do it again on Sunday. :) This time, however, we're going to combine it with 3), because I'll actually take her to a film brunch in my hometown's local arthouse cinema, where we'll watch a movie after indulging in our breakfast (she already knows what we'll be doing, so it's safe to mention it here ;) ).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wenn deine Mama gerne auswärts frühstückt, ist eine Brunch-Einladung immer eine gute Idee. Reserviere einen Tisch in einem netten Lokal, bei dem du sicher weißt, dass die Frühstücksauswahl gut ist. Entscheide dich vielleicht für eines, wo deine Mama nicht ohnehin regelmäßig hingeht, damit es auch ein bisschen eine Überraschung ist. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Brunch ist auch irgendwie mein eigener kleiner Muttertags-Klassiker muss ich gestehen. So waren meine Mutter und nich nämlich schon letztes Jahr gemeinsam brunchen und auch diesen Sonntag gehen wir wieder frühstücken, wobei wir es diesmal mit Punkt 3) kombinieren. Wir gehen nämlich zum Filmbrunch ins lokale Arthouse-Kino meiner Geburtsstadt und werden dementsprechend einen Film schauen, nachdem wir uns die Bäuche mit den Frühstücksköstlichkeiten vollgeschlagen haben (sie weiß schon, was wir machen werden, daher kann ich es auch ruhig hier ausplaudern ;) ). </i></span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZjD6hwk78Lm3Vl_Wt3H5wTjgkx5dtuLbFqJAyJZwBk4K8y-rX8tz6K2UoU_3qMBaMuvqBtV2FNk0-Oz3xeuLbhgnG-lJZ8e-cNj7eZxnBNRyTOluozke-FsPi1_fFb3KRWcanBCRUVNk/s1600/Mothers+Day+Ideas_Tulip+and+Lily_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZjD6hwk78Lm3Vl_Wt3H5wTjgkx5dtuLbFqJAyJZwBk4K8y-rX8tz6K2UoU_3qMBaMuvqBtV2FNk0-Oz3xeuLbhgnG-lJZ8e-cNj7eZxnBNRyTOluozke-FsPi1_fFb3KRWcanBCRUVNk/s1600/Mothers+Day+Ideas_Tulip+and+Lily_1.jpg" height="212" width="640" /></a><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span><br />
<h3>
2) Learn something new together / Lernt etwas Neues </h3>
Is there
something your mom always wanted to learn but never found the time or
muse to actually try? Great! Whether it may be pottery, climbing, oil
painting or yoga - check her in a workshop and take it together with
her. This way you can also spend a nice day together! <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Gibt
es irgendwas was deine Mutter schon immer lernen wollte, für das sie
aber nie die Zeit oder Muße fand, es tatsächlich mal auszuprobieren?
Großartig! Egal ob es Töpfern, Klettern, Ölmalerei oder Yoga ist, melde
sie zu einem Workshop an und mach ihn mit ihr gemeinsam. Auf diese Art
und Weise könnt ihr auch gleich einen netten Tag miteinander verbringen!</i></span> <br />
<br />
<h3>
3) Cinema, Theatre, Museum / Kino, Theater, Museum</h3>
This one is kind of self-explanatory. ;) Is there a film, an exhibition or a theatre show your mother would like to see or you think she would like? If yes, get two tickets and enjoy a lovely evening together.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Dieser Vorschlag ist ja eher selbsterklärend. ;) Gibt es einen Film, eine Ausstellung oder ein Theaterstück, das deine Mutter gerne sehen würde oder von dem du glaubst, dass es ihr gefallen könnte? Ja? Großartig! Besorge zwei Ticket und verbringt einen schönen Abend miteinander. </i></span> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
4) Present her with a beauty day / Schenke ihr einen Beauty-Tag </h3>
There are two ways to do this. Either you choose the classic approach and take your mom to a spa or a beauty parlor OR, and I think this might be the funnier way, you stay at home and mix yourself your hair and face masks. Add a bottle of bubbly and some good DVDs and you'll have a lovely afternoon. If you need inspirations on how to make your own cosmetics, I would recommend a quick <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> search. There you'll find thousands of recipes. <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Okay, also hierfür gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten. Entweder ihr wählt den eher klassischen Weg und führt eure Mama in einen Schönheitssalon oder ins Spa aus ODER, und ich glaube, das wäre die lustigere Variante, ihr ladet sie zu euch ein und mixt selbst eure Gesichts- und Haarmasken. Noch eine Flasche Sekt und ein paar gute DVDs dazu, und einem schönen Nachmittag steht nichts mehr im Weg. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Falls ihre Inspirationen braucht, wie ihr eure eigen Kosmetik herstellen könnt, empfehle ich eine kurze <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>-Suche. Dort findet ihr tausende Rezepte. </i></span><br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
5) Cook and eat together / Gemeinsam kochen und essen</h3>
My mom
is a great cook and that I can cook as well is greatly thanks to her!
However, our cooking styles are still very different from each other.
Some meals she loves to cook, and are really great, I have no clue of and
the other way round. Therefore it might be fun to make a cooking session
together, where you teach your mom to cook one of your specialties and
she teaches you to cook one of hers. Or you try something new together.
Get really good ingredients for your cooking session and a good bottle
of wine, which you maybe wouldn't allow yourselves usually. When you're done
cooking, fill your bellies with your home-cooked delicacies. <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Meine
Mama ist eine tolle Köchin und dass ich selber auch kochen kann, habe
ich zu großen Teilen ihr zu verdanken. Nichtsdestotrotz unterscheiden
sich unsere Kochstile doch ganz schön voneinander und von manchen
Gerichten, die sie gut und gerne zubereitet, habe ich keine Ahnung und
umgekehrt. Daher dachte ich, es könnte Spaß machen einen gemeinsamen
Kochtag zu verbringen! Lass dir von deiner Mama eines ihrer
Lieblingsgerichte beibringen und zeige ihr eine deiner Spezialitäten.
Oder probiert gemeinsam was Neues aus! Besorg dafür richtig gute Zutaten
und eine Flasche guten Wein, die ihr euch vielleicht sonst nicht immer
gönnen würdet, und schlagt euch nach der Kocherei mit euren selbst
zubereiteten Köstlichkeiten die Bäuche voll.</i></span><br />

<h3>
6) Present her (and your dad) with a romantic evening / Beschenke sie (und deinen Vater) mit einem romantischen Abend </h3>
Let's face it! While your parents were busy raising you (and your siblings) they probably didn't have too much time to spend quality-time together. A good reason for you to present them with some. Check them in a romantic hotel for one night, present them with a romantic dinner at a good restaurant or organise a lovely little day trip for them to a nearby city which they've always wanted to visit.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Sind wir mal ehrlich! Während eure Eltern damit beschäftigt waren euch großzuziehen, hatten sie vermutlich nicht allzuviel Zeit für gemeinsame, romantische Stunden. Ein Grund mehr für dich ihnen jetzt ein paar davon zu schenken. Check sie für eine Nacht in einem romantischen Hotel ein, schenke ihnen ein romantisches Dinner in einem guten Restaurant oder organisiere einen Tagesausflug für sie an einen Ort, den sie schon immer mal gemeinsam besuchen wollten. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I hope this propositions were useful and I wish you all a wonderful day! </span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Ich hoffe diese Vorschläge waren hilfreich. Ich wünsch euch allen einen wundervollen Tag!</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Love, <i>Alles Liebe,</i></span><br />

Hello everybody, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
time for a new Green Sunday post!<br />
As you all may know, last week was <a href="http://fashionrevolution.org/" target="_blank">Fashion Revolution Day</a> in remembrance of the 1133 people who were killed when the Rana Plaza factory complex collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2013. To raise awareness on the topic of the disastrous production conditions in the fashion industry there were actions worldwide, such as this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfANs2y_frk&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">2-Euro-T-shirt vendor</a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fashionrevolutiongermany.org" target="_blank">Fashion Revolution Day Germany </a>positioned on Alexanderplatz in Berlin.<br />
To link to this topic here as well, I thought it might be fun to make this Green Sunday post about sustainable fashion and ways how to avoid buying unethically or environmentally problematic clothes. Believe me, I know that's not easy (I mean, it's <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/p/fashion.html" target="_blank">pretty obvious </a>that fashion is one of my guilty pleasures!), and getting there will probably take some time (I definitely know it will for me). Nevertheless, I also really do believe that changing the world always starts with changing one's own behavior and if we all change (step by step) together the whole process will be much faster! And the good news is: You won't have to give up your good style for that at all!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Zeit für einen neuen Green Sunday Post!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wie die meisten von euch wahrscheinlich wissen, war letzte Woche <a href="http://fashionrevolution.org/" target="_blank">Fashion Revolution Day</a> im Gedenken an die 1133 Menschen, die beim Zusammenbruch der Rana Plaza Fabrik in Dhaka, Bangladesch vor zwei Jahren ums Leben gekommen sind. Um auf die desaströsen Produktionsbedingungen im Modebereich aufmerksam zu machen, gab es weltweit Aktionen, wie zum Beispiel diesen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfANs2y_frk&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">2-Euro-T-Shirt Automaten</a> von <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fashionrevolutiongermany.org" target="_blank">Fashion Revolution Day Germany</a> am Alexanderplatz in Berlin. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Um bei dem Thema auch hier am Blog anzuknüpfen, dachte ich, es würde Spaß machen, sich diesmal mit nachhaltiger Mode auseinanderzusetzen und mit Möglichkeiten, den Kauf von umweltschädigenden oder ethisch fragwürdigen Klamotten zu vermeiden. Glaubt mir, ich bin die erste die bestätigt, dass das schwer ist (ich meine, es ist <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/p/fashion.html" target="_blank">ziemlich offensichtlich</a> dass Mode ein kleines Laster von mir ist ;) ), und das wirklich ernsthaft durchzuziehen wird wahrscheinlich etwas brauchen (zumindest weiß ich, dass es bei mir so sein wird). Allerdings bin ich auch der festen Überzeugung, dass man immer beim eigenen Verhalten anfangen muss, wenn man die Welt irgendwie verbessern möchte und wenn wir uns alle gemeinsam (Schrittchen für Schrittchen) verändern, und nicht drauf warten, dass andere das für uns erledigen, geht das mit der Verbesserung garantiert schneller!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Und die gute Nachricht ist: Auf euren guten Stil müsst ihr dafür garantiert nicht verzichten!! </i></span><br />

<h3>
1) Don't buy new clothes / Kauf keine neuen Klamotten</h3>
INSTEAD: wear what you already have, swap, borrow, change, repair, upcylce or sew!<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>STATTDESSEN: Zieh an, was du schon hast, tausche, leihe, verändere, repariere, upcycle oder nähe!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span> <br />
Be honest to yourself: you probably have already enough (pretty) clothes in your closet! So the next time before you take the five T-shirts and three dresses, you've just tried on (and that are all so cute and CHEAP), to the cash desk, consider for a minute if you really need or at least really, really want them. This way you cannot only save a lot of money but also prevent your closet from overflowing.<br />
If your closet has already overflown (which happens to me on a regular basis, although I already buy much less often than I used to), it's time to sort out and discard. However, DON'T throw away these items. Instead, organise a clothes swapping party with your friends, where everybody brings discarded items to swap with each other. I've made that a few times already and it was always a huge success. Just be sure not to take too many new things, or your closet will overflow right away again... ;)<br />
Other possibilities to avoid buying new clothes are repairing, changing or upcycling the pieces you already have. Do you love the color of your jeans but the style is out of fashion? Maybe you can make a new short out of it! Did you lose weight and don't fit in your clothes anymore? Go to the tailor and let them make narrower! Oh, and consider repairing items when they just have a little hole or something, instead of throwing them away. Or do you really want to spend all of your fashion budget on new socks?? ;)<br />
<br /><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Sei mal ganz ehrlich zu dir selbst: du hast wahrscheinlich genug (hübsche) Sachen im Schrank! Also beim nächsten Mal bevor du die fünf T-Shirts und drei Kleider, die du gerade anprobiert hast (und die alle SO süß und SO BILLIG sind), zur Kasse schleppst, frage dich eine Minute lang, ob du sie wirklich brauchst oder zumindest WIRKLICH, WIRKLICH willst! Auf diese Art und Weise kannst du nicht nur eine Menge Geld sparen, sondern auch verhindern, dass dein Kasten aus allen Nähten platzt.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wenn dein Kasten schon aus allen Nähten geplatzt ist, wird es Zeit auszumustern. ABER: Wirf die ausgemusterten Sachen nicht weg! Organisiere stattdessen eine Klamottentauschparty mit deinen Freundinnen, wo jede ein paar ausrangierte Sachen zum Tauschen mitbringt. Ich habe jetzt schon ein paar Mal eine gemacht und es war immer ein riesiger Erfolg. Stell nur sicher, dass du nicht so viele neue Sachen nimmst, dass dein Kasten gleich wieder übergeht... ;)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Eine andere Möglichkeit, um den Kauf neuer Klamotten zu umgehen, ist es, Sachen die du bereits hast, zu reparieren oder zu verändern. Liebst du zum Beispiel die Farbe deiner Jeans, aber der Schnitt ist einfach komplett aus der Mode? Macht nichts - vielleicht kannst du ja eine neue Short draus machen. Oder hast du abgenommen und passt jetzt nicht mehr in deine Lieblingssachen? Kein Problem - bring sie in eine Änderungsschneiderei und lass sie enger machen! Und ja, bevor du Sachen wegwirfst, nur weil sie ein kleines Loch haben oder sich die Naht an einer Stelle löst, überlege, ob man sie nicht reparieren kann. Oder willst du wirklich dein ganzes Klamotten-Budget für neue Socken ausgeben?? ;)</i></span><br />

<h3>
2) Buy Second Hand / Kaufe 2nd Hand</h3>
I am not sure if I ever explained, why I'm a big fan of second hand and vintage clothes on this blog. However, there are a few reasons: First, I simply like the idea of wearing something with history, that is unique and that nobody else has got. Second, buying second hand is usually much more economic than buying in store and this way, I can also afford items from brands I could ususally never pay for. Finally, one mustn't forget the ecological advantages. By buying something old you can actually help preventing something new from being produced and this saves a lot of energy and resources. This is of course a very simplified representation, but even big brands don't like to spend tons of money on producing clothes, which they won't sell in the end.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich hier schon jemals erklärt habe, warum ich so ein großer Fan von Second Hand und Vintage Mode bin. Nun ja, das hat ein paar Gründe: Zum Ersten gefällt mir ganz einfach die Idee, etwas einzigartiges mit Geschichte zu tragen, das sonst keiner hat. Zweitens ist es oft deutlich günstiger, Second Hand zu kaufen, als im Laden. Auf diesem Weg kann ich mir also auch Sachen von Marken leisten, für die ich sonst in hundert Jahren nicht bezahlen könnte. Und drittens darf man auch die ökologischen Vorteile nicht vergessen. Indem man Second Hand kauft, kann man auch dabei helfen, zu verhindern, dass etwas Neues produziert werden muss und das trägt natürlich dazu bei, Energie und Ressourcen zu sparen. Natürlich ist das jetzt eine sehr verkürzte Darstellung, aber im Endeffekt stehen auch die großen Marken nicht drauf, Tonnen an Geld in die Produktion von Kleidern zu stecken, die sie dann nicht absetzen können. </i></span><br />

<h3>
3) Buy at the right places / Kaufe in den richtigen Läden</h3>
I know that there still exists this cliché out there, that all sustainably and/or fairly produced clothes will make you look like an eco-activist with bad taste from the 1970s, but the thing is: That's simply not true anymore! In the meantime you can find more than enough labels which specialize in producing high-quality, modern and sustainable clothes. I intend to publish a more comprehensive list soon, but just to give you a few examples:<br />
<br />
1) I just detected the L.A. based label <a href="https://www.thereformation.com/" target="_blank">Reformation</a> two weeks ago but I'm in love already. In my opinion they make really beautiful and sexy clothes and I would love to have one of their dresses!<br />
<br />
2) <a href="http://www.peopletree.co.uk/" target="_blank">People Tree</a> is a British brand and they've been producing (certified) fair and sustainable fashion for over 20 years now. I really like their clothes and there are always great items on sale too.<br />
<br />
3) If you are in need for new sneakers, check out <a href="http://www.veja-store.com/en/" target="_blank">veja</a>. They produce fair-trade sneakers in cooperation with Brazilian organic cotton farmers and sustainable rubber tappers. <br />
<br />
4) I guess the chic bags by <a href="http://www.freitag.ch/" target="_blank">FREITAG</a> don't need any further introduction. As of recently the Swiss company does not only sell its cool accessories, but also offers a <a href="http://www.freitag.ch/fabric/products" target="_blank">new clothing line</a> made from a compostable fabric. <br />
<br />
5) If you are in need for more classic or basic items, check out <a href="http://hessnatur.de/">hessnatur.de</a>, a German online store for organic fashion. There you can get everything from top to bottom, even socks and underwear.<br />
<br />
Are these brands more expensive than other ones? Well, it depends, but probably yes. But guess what? That is totally okay, because then you can be sure that the producers were paid fairly and that your clothes don't destroy the environment. In addition, if you follow the tipps 1) and 2) you'll save enough money, so that it will easily be possible to spend a little more money on a fairly produced piece of fashion you'd really like to have from time to time!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Ich weiß, dass da draußen noch immer dieses Klischee herumgeistert, dass es nur nachhaltig produzierte Klamotten gibt, die einen wie eine Öko-Aktivistin mit schlechtem Geschmack aus den 1970ern aussehen lassen, das Ding ist nur: Das stimmt einfach nicht (mehr)! Mittlerweile gibt es genug coole Labels, die sich darauf verlegt haben, qualitativ hochwertige, moderne und nachhaltige Mode zu machen. Ich habe vor, in Kürze eine deutlich umfassendere Liste zu verfassen, aber hier nur mal ein paar Beispiele </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>1) <a href="https://www.thereformation.com/" target="_blank">Reformation</a> aus L.A. habe ich selbst erst vor etwa zwei Wochen entdeckt, aber ich bin jetzt schon hingerissen! Ich finde die machen richtig schöne und sexy Klamotten und ich hätte richtig gern ein Kleid von denen!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>2) <a href="http://www.peopletree.co.uk/" target="_blank">People Tree</a> aus Großbritannien produziert bereits seit über zwei Jahrzehnten (zertifizierte) ökologische Fair Trade Mode. Ich bin ein großer Fan von ihren Klamotten und es gibt auch immer super Angebote im Sale. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>3) Falls man neue Sneaker braucht, ist man bei <a href="http://www.veja-store.com/en/" target="_blank">veja</a> gut aufgehoben. Die produzieren nämlich schicke Fair Trade-Sneaker in Kooperation mit brasilianischen Biobauern und nachhaltigen Gummisammlern.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>4) Ich denke mal, die schicken Taschen von <a href="http://www.freitag.ch/" target="_blank">FREITAG</a> müssen hier wohl nicht extra vorgestellt werden. Seit Kurzem hat das Schweizer Label auch eine eigene <a href="http://www.freitag.ch/fabric/products" target="_blank">kompostierbare Klamottenlinie</a> im Angebot.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>5) Falls ihr eher auf der Suche nach Basics oder klassischeren Kleidungsstücken seid, schaut doch mal bei <a href="http://hessnatur.de/">hessnatur.de</a> rein, einem deutschen Online-Store für nachhaltige Mode. Dort gibts wirklich alles von Kopf bis Fuß, sogar Socken und Unterwäsche.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Sind diese Kleider jetzt teurer als von anderen Marken? Kommt darauf an, in vielen Fällen wahrscheinlich ja. Allerdings ist das auch völlig okay, denn so könnt ihr sicher sein, dass die Produzenten fair bezahlt wurden und eure Kleidung nicht die Umwelt zerstört. Zudem: Wenn ihr euch an die Tipps 1) und 2) haltet, ist das alles kein Problem! Auf die Art und Weise könnt ihr nämlich so viel Geld sparen, dass es sich leicht ausgeht, ab und zu mal in ein schickes, etwas teureres Fair Trade-Teil zu investieren, dass ihr wirklich gern haben möchtet.</i></span><br />

<br />
Hey folks, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
today I wanna share a recipe for an easy and tasty crostata with blueberries and ricotta. I made it recently as a dessert when our good friend (and comedian) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lustigerwerner" target="_blank">Elias Werner</a> visited David and me for dinner. Everybody liked it, so I think it's save to recommend it to you guys... ;) Just a tip: Eat the crostata, while it's still warm. Then it tastes best! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>heute möchte ich ein Rezept für eine einfache und leckere Crostata mit Heidelbeeren und Ricotta mit euch teilen. Ich habe das Rezept unlängst ausprobiert, als uns </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lustigerwerner" target="_blank">Elias Werner</a>, ein </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>guter Freund (und Kabarettist), zum Essen besucht hat. Nachdem es allen geschmeckt hat, empfehle ich es jetzt mal unbedarft weiter... ;) Nur ein kleiner Tipp: Esst die Crostata, solange sie noch warm ist. Dann schmeckt sie nämlich am Besten!</i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
What you'll need / Das wird gebraucht</h3>
<ul>
<li>100 g ground almonds / <i>100 g gemahlene Mandeln</i></li>
<li>75 g sugar / <i>75 g Zucker</i></li>
<li>330 g spelt flour / <i>330 g Dinkelmehl</i></li>
<li>180 g butter / <i>180 g Butter</i></li>
<li>2 egg yolks and 1 egg / <i>2 Eidotter und 1 Ei</i></li>
<li>1-2 handful blueberries (I used frozen ones) / <i>1-2 Hand voll Heidelbeeren (ich habe tiefgefrorene verwendet)</i></li>
<li>50 g ricotta / <i>50 g Ricotta</i></li>
<li>1-2 tbsp. honey / <i>1-2 EL Honig</i></li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht</h3>
Mix 75 g almonds, 60 g sugar and 300 g flour using a hand-held blender. Cut 150 g butter in small pieces and add it to the other ingredients. Levigate the butter with the other ingredients until you get a crumbly mixture. <br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Vermischt 75 g Mandeln, 60 g Zucker und das Mehl und zerkleinert alles mit einem Mixstab oder einem Mixer. Die Butter in kleine Stücke schneiden und ebenfalls zur Masse hinzufügen. Zerreibt die Butter mit den anderen Zutaten zwischen euren Fingern so lang, bis eine krümelige Konsistenz entsteht. </i><br />
<br />

<br />
Now add the egg yolks and 60 ml cold water and knead everything with your hands to a dough ball. Let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
<i>Anschließend die Eidotter und 60 ml eiskaltes Wasser hinzufügen und so lange mit den Händen kneten bis ihr einen schönen Teigball formen könnt. Diesen dann für 30 Minuten im Kühlschrank rasten lassen.</i><br />

<br />
Roll the pastry (about 3 mm thick) on a floured surface, put it on a baking plate and let it rest for another 30 minutes. In the meantime melt the remaining butter in a small pot and whisk the egg with a fork. Combine half of the whisked egg with the melted butter, remaining sugar, flour and almonds. Spread the mixture as well as the blueberries and ricotta on the dough and sprinkle everything with the honey. Fold over the rim and coat it with the remaining egg. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Den Teig etwa 3 mm dick auf einer mehligen Unterlage ausrollen, auf ein Backblech legen und nochmal für etwa 30 Minuten rasten lassen. In der Zwischenzeit die restliche Butter in einem kleinen Topf schmelzen und das Ei mit einer Gabel verquirlen. Die Hälfte des verquirlten Eis mit dem restlichen Zucker, Dinkelmehl und Mandeln und der geschmolzenen Butter vermischen und auf dem Teig verteilen. Anschließend den Ricotta und die Heidelbeeren darüberstreuen und die Crostata mit Honig beträufeln. Die Ränder des Teigs einschlagen und mit dem Rest des verquirlten Eis bestreichen. </i></span><br />

Hello together, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
you might already know that I am a huge <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/01/wonderful-graz.html" target="_blank">Graz lover </a>(and Katja <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/05/weekend-trip-to-graz.html" target="_blank">liked it very much too</a>)! Two weeks ago, David and I finally found the time to go there again to visit his dad and his wonderful grandma. It was really, really lovely, also because we were really lucky with the weather and spent almost all the time outside. We also detected some really nice stores and places, which I'm sharing with you below. :)<br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>manche von euch haben sicher schon mitbekommen, dass ich ein riesiger <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/01/wonderful-graz.html" target="_blank">Graz-Fan</a> bin (Katja <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/05/weekend-trip-to-graz.html" target="_blank">mochte es übrigens auch sehr gern</a>)! In der Woche nach Ostern haben David und ich endlich mal wieder die Zeit gefunden runterzufahren um seinen Papa und seine wunderbare Oma zu besuchen. Es war wirklich wunderbar, auch deshalb weil wir richtig Glück mit dem Wetter hatten und fast die ganze Zeit nur draußen verbracht haben. Außerdem haben wir auch ein paar richtig nette Läden und Plätze entdeckt, die ich unten mit euch teile. :)</i></span><br />

The ultimate Graz classic is, and stays, the Schlossberg with its famous clock tower. We went there two times (great in spring!!) and even walked around the whole hill for the first time. Pretty lovely walk, I have to say! :)<br />
<br />
<i>Der ultimative Graz-Klassiker ist und bleibt natürlich der Schlossberg mit dem berühmten Uhrturm. Wir sind diesmal sogar zwei Mal hochgelaufen (super im Frühling!!) und haben den ganzen Berg einmal sogar komplett umrundet. Ziemlich cooler Spaziergang, muss ich sagen! :)</i><br />

On our second day in Graz I dragged the boys to a little shopping tour and found some pretty cool stores I didn't know before. One shop I definitely want to recommend is <a href="http://www.zerum.at/" target="_blank">Zerum</a>, where they sell sustainably produced clothes and accessories. My favourites were the <a href="http://www.zerum.at/accessoires/holzbrillen.html" target="_blank">wooden sun glasses</a> and they also offer a nice variety of <a href="http://www.zerum.at/accessoires/soulbottles.html" target="_blank">soulbottles</a>.<br />
Right next to Zerum is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/projekt.tag.werk" target="_blank">tagwerk</a>, where you can get pretty cool upcycled clothes and bags, and when you're already in that area you might also check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Offlineretail" target="_blank">offline retail</a> (vintage store) and Ghusaz (gift store). If you're a gardener you mustn't miss out a visit of <a href="http://www.samen-koeller.at/" target="_blank">Samen Köller</a>, a traditional seed store where you can get all different kinds of plant seeds. Also if you're not a gardener a visit of the store is highly recommended as they've also got a variety of cookbooks, postcards and other garden related things.<br />
Oh, and I detected the cutest bookstore in Prokopigasse! It's called Bücherstube and it's adorable (I got the coolest collection of postcards there, showing posters of early 20th century magic shows)!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>An unserem zweiten Tag in Graz habe ich die Jungs zu einer kleinen Shopping-Tour genötigt und dabei ein paar ziemlich coole Shops entdeckt, die ich noch nicht kannte. Ein Laden, den ich besonders empfehlen möchte, ist <a href="http://www.zerum.at/" target="_blank">Zerum</a>, wo nachhaltig produzierte Klamotten und Accessoires verkauft werden. Am coolsten fand ich die <a href="http://www.zerum.at/accessoires/holzbrillen.html" target="_blank">Holz-Sonnenbrillen</a>, die es dort gibt, aber auch die Auswahl an <a href="http://www.zerum.at/accessoires/soulbottles.html" target="_blank">Soulbottles</a> war ziemlich gut.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Gleich neben Zerum ist das<a href="https://www.facebook.com/projekt.tag.werk" target="_blank"> tagwerk</a>, wo es coole Upcycling-Klamotten und Taschen zu Kaufen gibt, und wenn ihr schon dort in der Nähe seid, könntet ihr auch noch bei <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Offlineretail" target="_blank">offline retail</a> (Vintage-Shop) und Ghusaz (Geschenkeladen) reinschauen. Falls ihr gerne gärtnert müsst ihr unbedingt bei <a href="http://www.samen-koeller.at/" target="_blank">Samen Köller</a> vorbei, einer alteingesessenen Grazer Samenhandlung, aber auch wenn ihr nicht gärtnert lohnt sich der Besuch. Neben den verschiedensten Pflanzensamen gibt es nämlich auch eine ziemlich nette Auswahl an Kochbüchern, Postkarten und anderen Dingen, die man irgendwie mit Garten in Verbindung bringen kann. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Oh, und ich habe die süßeste Buchhandlung in der Prokopigasse entdeckt! Sie heißt Bücherstube und ist entzückend (ich habe eine ziemlich coole Postkarten-Sammlung mit Bildern von Zaubershows aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert abgestaubt)!</i></span><br />

As far as food is concerned, you already know that David and I usually enjoy the home-cooked delicacies from David's grandma, his dad and Betty, David's dad's wife. If the three of them would open a restaurant together, it would definitely be my first recommendation (on the picture below you can see not only an awesome broccoli-curry with tempeh and brown rice but also fried dumplings filled with wild garlic and potatoes. Yummy!)! Concerning restaurants in Graz I'm therefore not an expert, but I've still got two tipps for you. First, we went to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/le.schnurrbart" target="_blank">Le Schnurrbart</a>, a lovely small café, where you can also choose from a nice variety of sweet and sour crépes. Second, I would definitely recommend a visit of the <a href="http://www.graztourismus.at/en/see-and-do/sightseeing/sights/kaiser-josef-market_sh-1245" target="_blank">farmers' market on Kaiser-Josef-Platz</a> near the opera. There you can not only buy regional specialties such as pumpkin seed oil, but also get a coffee at one of the lovely small cafés around. Below you can see a picture of Rossian for example, where you can get buttered bread with cress for breakfast... ;) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Was Essen angeht, so wisst ihr ja bereits, dass wir uns hauptsächlich von Davids Oma, Papa und dessen Frau Betty verköstigen lassen. Wenn die drei ein Restaurant eröffenen würden, wäre das auf jeden Fall meine erste Empfehlung (auf dem Foto unten seht ihr übrigens nicht nur ein herrliches Brokkoli-Curry mit Tempeh und Vollkornreis, sondern auch mit Bärlauch und Kartoffeln gefüllte Teigtaschen - yummy!!)! :) In Sachen Restaurants in Graz bin ich also nicht so bewandert, habe aber diesmal trotzdem zwei Tipps für euch. Zum einen waren wir im café <a href="https://www.facebook.com/le.schnurrbart" target="_blank">Le Schnurrbart</a>, wo es neben Kaffee auch eine ziemlich tolle Auswahl an süßen und sauren Crépes gibt. Zum anderen möchte ich euch sehr den <a href="http://www.graztourismus.at/de/sehen-und-erleben/sightseeing/sehenswuerdigkeiten/kaiser-josef-markt_sh-1245" target="_blank">Bauernmarkt am Kaiser-Josef-Platz</a> bei der Oper empfehlen. Hier gibts nicht nur regionale Köstlichkeiten, wie den Klassiker Kernöl zum Beispiel, sondern auch ein paar entzückende kleine Cafés und Bistros. Unten zum Beispiel ein Foto vom Rossian, wo es Butterbrot mit Kresse zum Frühstück gibt. ;)</i></span><br />

Hello everybody, <i>hallo zusammen</i>,<br />
<br />
the last two days, my good friend Laura and I attended <a href="http://kulturkonzepte.at/en/index.php" target="_blank">Institut für Kulturkonzepte</a>'s culture management days with pretty interesting lectures on art sponsoring, intercultural art concepts, entrepreneural spirit in the arts sector etc. We are pretty smart now... ;) <br />
As the weather in Vienna was great as well, we spent our lunchbreaks outside. Today we went to a small park nearby and Laura was so kind, to snap a few pictures from me in some of my newest captures from one of my favourite Viennese second hand stores. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/burggasse24" target="_blank">Burggasse24</a>, as the name already suggests, is located in Burggasse in Vienna's seventh district and they do not only offer a wide range of well sorted and really cool clothes and accessories, but they also have a small coffeeplace within the store. I don't know about you, but a place where can get stylish outfits and eat cake at the same time simply deserves a place in my heart... ;)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>die letzten beiden Tage waren meine liebe Freundin Laura und ich bei den Kulturmanagement-Tagen, die das <a href="http://kulturkonzepte.at/index.php" target="_blank">Institut für Kulturkonzepte</a> organisiert hat, und haben ziemlich coolen Vorträgen zu Themen wie Kultursponsoring, Interkulturalität im Kunst- und Kulturbereich, Unternehmergeist in Kulturinstitutionen usw. zugehört (wir sind jetzt ziemlich schlau... ;) ). </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Da auch das Wetter in den letzten beiden Tagen ganz wunderbar war, konnten wir unsere Mittagspausen draußen verbringen. Heute haben wir uns mit unserem Essen einfach in den nächstgelegenen Park gepflanzt und Laura war so lieb, auch ein paar Fotos von mir für den Blog zu machen - in meinen neusten Errungenschaften von einem meiner allerliebsten Second-Hand-Läden in Wien. Wie der Name schon vermuten lässt, liegt <a href="https://www.facebook.com/burggasse24" target="_blank">Burggasse24</a> in der Burggasse im siebten Bezirk und sie haben nicht nur eine wirklich gut sortierte Auswahl an Klamotten und Accessoires, sondern sogar ein eigenes kleines Café mitten im Geschäft. Also, ich kann natürlich nur für mich sprechen, aber ein Ort, an dem man coole Klamotten bekommt und gleichzeitig Kuchen essen kann, verdient definitiv einen Platz in meinem Herzen... ;) </i></span><br />

Hey Gang,<br />
<br />
today I got something delicious for you: a recipe for wild garlic bread with fresh wild garlic directly out of the woods. Yummy! I made it for the first time (my lovely classmate Katharina shared her recipe with me) and it worked out immediately. Crusty on the outside, super fluffy on the inside, combined with butter and wild garlic - simply great! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>heute habe ich wieder was Leckeres für euch: ein Rezept für Bärlauch-Zupfbrot mit frischem Bärlauch direkt aus dem Wald. Yummy! Ich habe das Brot zum ersten Mal gebacken (meine liebe Unikollegin Katharina hat ihr Rezept mit mir geteilt) und es hat eigentlich sofort geklappt. Außen knusprig, innen total fluffy und dann auch noch kombiniert mit Butter und Bärlauch - ziemlich großartig muss ich sagen! :)</i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
What you'll need / Das wird gebraucht</h3>
<ul>
<li>(at least) 2-3 handful of fresh wild garlic /<i> mindestens 2-3 Hände voll frischen Bärlauch</i></li>
<li>750 g spelt flour / <i>750 g Dinkelmehl</i></li>
<li>1 yeast cube (42 g) / <i>1 Würfel frischer Germ</i></li>
<li>400 ml lukewarm water / <i>400 ml lauwarmes Wasser</i></li>
<li>2 pinches sugar / <i>2 Prisen Zucker</i></li>
<li>3 tsp. salt /<i> 3 Teelöffel Salz</i></li>
<li>5 tbsp. olive oil / <i>5 Esslöffel Olivenöl</i></li>
<li>100 g butter or margarine (in case you want to go vegan) / <i>100 g Butter oder Alsan (falls ihr es lieber vegan machen möchtet)</i></li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht</h3>
Wash and chop the garlic.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Den Bärlauch waschen und klein hacken.</i></span><br />

<br />
Put the flour in a big bowl and make a well in the middle. Crumble the yeast into the well and add 100 ml lukewarm water and the sugar. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid until you get a thick paste, the so-called poolish. Cover the bowl with a dishtowel and let the dough prove for about 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Gebt das Mehl in eine große Schüssel und formt eine Mulde in der Mitte. Dann die Hefe in die Vertiefung bröseln und 100 ml des lauwarmen Wassers sowie den Zucker dazugeben. Anschließend mit etwas Mehl von den Rändern den sogenannten Vorteig herstellen. Dafür einfach nach und nach Mehl von den Seiten der Mulde in die Flüssigkeit rühren bis ein dicklicher Brei entsteht. Danach die Schüssel mit einem Geschirrtuch abdecken und den Teig für gute 15 Minuten gehen lassen.</i></span><br />

Add the salt, the oil and the remaining 300 ml water to the dough and mix everything well. Now you can knead the dough until it's smooth and springy. I guess this will take you about 10 minutes. Then let the dough prove again for 35 minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Nun das Salz, das Öl und die restlichen 300 ml Wasser zum Teig in der Schüssel geben und alles gut vermengen. Danach gut mit der Hand kneten, bis ein geschmeidger Teig entsteht und anschließdend für weitere 35 Minuten gehen lassen. Ich schätze, dass das Kneten selbst etwa 10 Minuten in Anspruch genommen hat. </i></span><br />

Hey you lovelies, <i>hallo ihr Lieben,</i><br />
<br />
it's time for a new Green Sunday! :)<br />
Some of you may remember that I write a regular <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/05/introducing-birds-new-nest.html" target="_blank">"sustainable" TV-programm</a> for <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/" target="_blank">the bird's new nest</a>, Edda's fabulous green lifestyle blog. Not only for that reason have I seen quite a few documentaries that deal with sustainability and/or green living in some kind or another. For this Green Sunday I therefore decided to share three of my favourites. This way you can almost "become green" by simply lying on your couch... ;)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>es ist wieder Zeit für einen Green Sunday! :)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Manche von euch werden sich vielleicht noch erinnern, dass ich regelmäßig ein <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/05/introducing-birds-new-nest.html" target="_blank">"nachhaltiges" Fernsehprogramm</a> für <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/" target="_blank">the bird's new nest</a> schreibe, Eddas wunderbares Nachhaltigkeits-Onlinemagazin. Nicht nur deshalb habe ich schon ziemlich viele Dokus gesehen, die sich auf die eine oder andere Art und Weise mit dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit oder Umweltschutz beschäftigen. Für diesen Green Sunday habe ich daher entschieden, drei meiner Lieblingsdokus zu teilen. Auf diese Art und Weise könnt ihr sogar fast schon von eurer Couch aus "grün" werden... ;) </i></span><br />

This is actually not a single movie but a complete TV-series that deals with green urban development and planning. Using the example of four big cities - New York, Tokyo, Paris and Rio - Naturopolis explains what is necessary to secure existing nature and biodiversity within cities and shows how green city planning could look like in the future. Pretty cool! The trailer to part one (New York) can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_16gRVtK_S4" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Naturopolis ist eigentlich keine einzelne Doku, sondern gleich eine ganze Serie. Am Beispiel von vier Großstädten - New York, Tokio, Paris und Rio - erklärt Naturopolis, was notwendig ist um bestehende Grünräume und Biodiversität in Städten abzusichern und zeigt außerdem, wie grüne Stadtplanung in der Zukunft aussehen könnte. Ziemlich cool! Den Trailer zum ersten Teil (New York) gibts <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_16gRVtK_S4" target="_blank">hier</a>. </i></span><br />

is a documentary about Colin Beavan and his family's one-year long
experiment to reduce their impact on the environment to an absolute
minimum. Step by step the whole family changes its lifestyle
completely, starting with buying only locally produced food, avoiding
packaging, stopping using the car, until in the end even the lights go
off. And this in New York City! Although this seems extremely challenging
at first sight, it somehow really works out. Even better, the
Beavans start to have fun with it too. Check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Ctt7FGFBo" target="_blank">trailer</a> here. <br />

Lebensstil komplett, damit angefangen, dass sie nur noch lokal
produziertes Essen kaufen, Verpackungen weglassen, ihr Auto nicht mehr
verwenden, bis zu guter Letzt sogar das Licht ausgeht. Und das alles in
New York! Obwohl das ganze Projekt natürlich eine Riesenherausforderung
ist, klappt es irgendwie. Mehr noch: Nach und nach beginnen die
Beavans sogar Vergnügen daraus zu ziehen. Trailer gibts <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Ctt7FGFBo" target="_blank">hier</a>. </i></span><br />

<br />
On Sunday I spent the most lovely Easter Sunday with my family in St. Pölten. Luckily the weather was fine enough, so that I could finally parade my new dress and shoes. ;) When the sun came out in the afternoon, my sister and I took the chance to steal away from the family table after our family brunch (wow, I really ate tons and tons of delicious food :D ) and snapped a few pictures for the blog in front of my mum's gorgeous forsythia.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>am Sonntag hatte ich den wunderbarsten Ostersonntag mit meiner Familie in St. Pölten - inklusive Brunch mit Tonnen an großartigem Essen. Glücklicherweise war das Wetter gut genug, dass ich endlich mal mein neues Kleid und meine neuen Schuhe ausführen konnte. ;) Am Nachmittag hat sich dann sogar auch noch die Sonne hinter ihrer Wolkendecke hervorgekämpft und meine Schwester und ich haben die Zeit genutzt uns kurz vom Familientisch davonzustehlen, um ein paar Fotos für den Blog zu machen. Das im Hintergrund ist übrigens der Hammer-Forsythienstrauch im Garten meiner Mutter... </i></span> <br />

Hey folks, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
in case you still need to wrap your eggs and candies for tomorrow's egg hunt I have a great last-minute DIY idea for you.<br />
In Austria it's tradition to hide Easter baskets for the kids (hopefully outside, if the weather is good enough). Those are usually single-use baskets made from cardboard. As I don't want to buy new baskets every year, that are highly probable thrown away directly after Easter, I last year decided to go a bit unconventional and to make my own Easter baskets from things I already have at home. Last year I folded origami Easter baskets using colourful magazine paper and this year I decided to turn some old juice cartons into Easter boxes. Those are no Easter baskets in the strict sense of the word but turned out really cute nevertheless, in my opinion. :)<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>falls ihr auch noch die Süßigkeiten und Eier für die morgige Eiersuche verpacken müsst, habe ich eine lustige Last-Minute DIY Idee für euch.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Gemäß der Tradition werden bei uns in der Familie zu Ostern für die Kinder Osterkörbchen versteckt (hoffentlich im Garten, wenn das Wetter mitspielt). Diese Körbchen sind normalerweise aus Karton und für den Einmalgebrauch bestimmt. Da ich aber keine besonders große Lust darauf habe, jedes Jahr neue Körbchen zu kaufen, die dann höchstwahrscheinlich direkt nach Ostern in der Mülltonne landen, habe ich letztes Jahr entschieden ein bisschen unkonventionell vorzugehen und meine eigenen Körbchen zu basteln und zwar aus Dingen, die ich bereits zu Hause habe. Letztes Jahr gabs daher selbstgefaltete Origami-Osterkörbchen aus buntem Magazinpapier und heuer habe ich mich dazu entschieden ein paar alte Saftkartons aufzupeppen. Die Osterboxen die so entstanden sind, sind zwar keine Körbchen im eigentlichen Sinn, sie sind aber meiner Meinung nach trotzdem ziemlich süß geworden. :)</i></span><br />
<br />

<h3>
What you'll need / Das wird gebraucht</h3>
<ul>
<li>old juice boxes (washed-out and clean!!) / <i>alte Saftpackerl (ausgewaschen und sauber!!)</i></li>
<li>colorful paper / <i>buntes Papier</i></li>
<li>scissors / <i>Schere</i></li>
<li>pictures with Easter scenes / <i>Bilder mit Ostermotiven</i></li>
<li>gift ribbon / <i>Geschenkbänder </i> </li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht</h3>
The whole project is quite easy. Simply glue the colourful paper around the juice boxes and make sure that the top edge is covered in paper as well. Then cut out some pictures from Easter scenes and glue them onto the boxes as well. I got my pictures from an old Easter book, that I bought for 1 € at the thrift store around the corner, but I copied the pictures out first beause I simply didn't have the heart to cut into a real book... ;).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Das ganze Projekt ist ziemlich einfach. Einfach das bunte Papier rund um die Saftboxen kleben. Stellt dabei sicher, dass auch die obere Kante der Box mit Papier überklebt ist, sonst sieht es nicht so schön aus. Danach die Ostermotive ausschneiden und ebenfalls auf die Boxen kleben. Ich hatte meine Bilder aus einem alten Osterbuch, dass ich um 1€ im Vinzishop um die Ecke gekauft habe, allerdings habe ich die Bilder vor dem Schneiden rauskopiert - ich habe es einfach nicht übers Herz gebracht in ein echtes Buch reinzuschneiden... ;) </i></span><br />

<br />
To give the finishing touch we add handles to our boxes. To do so, simply make two little holes in the opposing sides of one box. Pull a piece of gift ribbon through each of the holes and make a knot on every side to fix the handle. E voilá - done is the Easter box! <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für den letzten Schliff machen wir auch noch Henkel für unsere Boxen. Dafür einfach auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils ein Loch bohren und ein Stück Geschenkband durchziehen. Das Band auf jeder Seite verknoten, um den Henkel zu fixieren und voilá - fertig ist die Osterbox!</i></span><br />

Hello you lovelies, <i>hallo ihr Lieben,</i><br />
<br />
as I already
mentioned in my <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2015/03/broccoli-spinach-soup-with-egg.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, Romana and I met for a little wild
garlic cooking party last week. We made pasta with mushrooms and a really
delicious vegan wild garlic pesto Romana-style, which I'm going to share
with you today.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>wie ich schon in meinem <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2015/03/broccoli-spinach-soup-with-egg.html" target="_blank">letzten Post</a>
erwähnt habe, haben Romana und ich letzte Woche eine kleine
Bärlauch-Kochparty verstanstaltet. Wie haben herrliche Pasta mit
Champignons und einem richtig guten veganen Bärlauch-Pesto gemacht, für
das mir Romana ihr persönliches Rezept verraten hat und welches ich
jetzt auch mit euch teilen mag.</i></span><br />

How it works / Und so wirds gemacht </h3>
Making the pesto is actually really easy. Simply put the ingredients into a high beaker and mix everything together with a hand-held blender. Taste from time to time to see if you're satisfied with the pesto's flavor and consistency.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Das Pesto zu machen ist eigentlich ziemlich einfach. Einfach alle Zutaten in einem hohen Messbecher vermengen und mit dem Mixstab pürieren. Zwischendurch immer mal wieder kosten, um festzustellen ob Geschmack und Konsistenz für euch passen. </i></span><br />

By the way, in case you don't know verjus (I didn't know either before
our cooking party): It's a sour juice made from squeezing
grapes and it can be used instead of lemon juice or vinegar. It's mostly
used in the French region of Périgord as well as in Turkey and parts of
Iran. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Ah ja, für den Fall, dass ihr nicht wisst, was Verjus ist (ich wusste es auch nicht vor unserer Kochparty): Verjus ist ein saurer Saft, der durch das Auspressen von Weintrauben gewonnen wird und anstelle von Zitronensaft oder Essig beim Kochen verwendet werden kann. Am meisten kommt er in der französischen Provinz Périgord, aber auch in der Türkei und in Teilen des Irans, zum Einsatz. </i></span><br />

For the champignons heat up some olive oil in a pan and roast them on medium heat for about five to ten minutes until they are soft. Stir from time to time to prevent the mushrooms from burning.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für die Champignons einfach etwas Olivenöl in einer Pfanne erhitzen und die Pilze bei mittlerer Hitze für fünf bis zehn Minuten braten, bis sie weich sind. Damit sie nicht anbrennen, von Zeit zu Zeit die Pfanne schwenken. </i></span><br />

Hey everybody, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
I hope all of you had a lovely weekend! Mine was really nice actually! :) On Saturday I went to two birthday parties. On Sunday I went into the woods to collect wild garlic, followed by a great wild garlic cooking party with my friend Romana. Recipes will follow soon, but first I wanna share a recipe for a really tasty and healthy broccoli-spinach-soup with egg and hand-made potato chips with you guys. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>ich hoffe, ihr hattet ein tolles Wochenende! Meines war ziemlich gut muss ich sagen! :) Am Samstag war ich auf gleich zwei Geburtstagsparties und am Sonntag habe ich mich in die Natur begeben um frischen Bärlauch zu sammeln. Und weil es so schön war, haben Romana und ich den Bärlauch am selben Tag noch verkocht. :) Die Rezepte kommen bald, aber zunächst möchte ich heute ein Rezept für eine richtig gute und gesunde Brokkoli-Spinat-Suppe mit gekochtem Ei und handgemachten Kartoffelchips mit euch teilen teilen.</i></span><br />

<h3>
What you'll need / Das wird gebraucht</h3>
(for 4 persons / für 4 Personen) <br />
<ul>
<li>400 g potatoes / <i>400 g Kartoffeln</i></li>
<li>1 spring onion / <i>1 Frühlingszwiebel</i></li>
<li>olive oil /<i> Olivenöl</i></li>
<li>1 l vegetable stock / <i>1 l Gemüsesuppe</i></li>
<li>1 broccoli / <i>1 Brokkoli</i></li>
<li>200 g spinach / <i>200 g Spinat</i></li>
<li>2 eggs / <i>2 Eier </i></li>
<li>a little bit of soy cream / <i>ein bisschen Sojasahne</i></li>

<li>1 tbsp. maple syrup or agave syrup / <i>Ahornsirup oder Agavendicksaft</i></li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht </h3>
Peel the potatoes and square them and chop the spring onion.<br />
For the potatoe chips, put a sheet of baking paper in a baking dish and
spread the potato peels over the paper. Add salt, pepper, curcuma, maple
syrup (or agave syrup) and olive oil and mix everything well with your hands. Put the
potato peels into the oven at 200°C and roast them for about 20 to 30
minutes until they are crisp.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Die Kartoffeln schälen und würfeln und den Frühlingszwiebel in kleine Stücke schneiden.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für die Kartoffelchips eine Auflaufform mit Backpapier auslegen und die Kartoffelschalen darauf verteilen. Mit Salz, Pfeffer, Kurkuma, Ahornsirup (oder Agavendicksaft) und Olivenöl würzen und mit den Händen alles gut vermischen. Dann bei 200°C für ca. 20 bis 30 Minuten backen, bis sie knusprig sind.</i></span><br />

<br />
Heat up some oil in a pot. Brown the spring onions and the potatoes for a few minutes, then add the vegetable stock. Bring the soup to boil and let it simmer for about five minutes. Then add the broccoli and the spinach. Cook at medium heat for about ten minutes. In addition boil the eggs for about seven minutes, so that they become medium soft. If you want to save energy you can also cook the eggs directly in the soup.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Olivenöl in einem Topf erhitzen und die Frühlingszwiebeln und die Kartoffeln für ein paar Minuten anbraten. Dann die Gemüsesuppe hinzufügen, aufkochen und für etwa fünf Minuten köcheln lassen. Brokkoli und Spinat dazugeben und bei mittlerer Hitze für weitere zehn Minuten kochen. Auch die Eier wollen gekocht werden und zwar ca. sieben Minuten lang, damit sie kernweich werden. Falls ihr Energie sparen möchtet, könnt ihr die Eier auch direkt in der Suppe mitkochen.</i></span><br />

Blend the soup and cut the boiled and peeled eggs in half. Dress the soup in deep dishes and garnish each plate with a little bit of soy cream and one half egg. Serve the potato chips on an extra plate. Done! :)<br />

Hey folks, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
can you believe that Easter is already in two weeks? This year's first months passed extremely fast in my opinion!<br />
As always there will be a big Easter lunch at my mum's house on Easter Sunday and as always I'll be responsible for the table decoration. Last year I made <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/04/origami-hen-box-as-easter-place-card.html" target="_blank">origami chickens</a>, this year I decided to go for Easter bunnies. As you already know, I really like to work with old newspapers (proof <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/happy-holidays-garland.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2013/12/newspaper-christmas-tree-balls.html" target="_blank">here</a>), so this is what I did here as well.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>könnt ihr glauben, dass in zwei Wochen schon wieder Ostern ist? Ich finde, die ersten paar Monate diesen Jahres sind extrem schnell vergangen!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wie jedes Jahr findet auch heuer wieder ein großes Osteressen bei meiner Mama zu Hause statt und wie immer bin ich auch diesmal für die Tischdekoration zuständig. Letztes Jahr habe ich <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/04/origami-hen-box-as-easter-place-card.html" target="_blank">Origami-Hühner</a> gebastelt, diesmal habe ich mich für Osterhasen entschieden. Und weil ich so gern mit altem Zeitungspapier arbeite (Beweise <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/happy-holidays-garland.html" target="_blank">hier</a> und <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2013/12/newspaper-christmas-tree-balls.html" target="_blank">hier</a>), habe ich auch diesmal darauf zurückgegriffen.</i></span><br />

<h3>
What you'll need / Das braucht man</h3>
<ul>
<li>old newspapers / <i>alte Zeitungen</i></li>

<li>pencil / <i>Bleistift</i></li>
<li>triangle / <i>Geodreieck</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
How it works / Und so wirds gemacht </h3>
Cut out 20 x 20 cm squares from the newspapers and try to be exact as possible. <br />

<br />
For folding the rabbits, I used these two great video instructions by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ69s6rF-A-Gw45gvid8dsA" target="_blank">Besser Basteln</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiSnTJHJ8z60IJSzxqY4FDw" target="_blank">Marigami</a> Origami. It might take you one or two rabbits, but after that the folding of the bunnies gets easy.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Zum Falten habe ich diese beiden großartigen Video-Tutorials von <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ69s6rF-A-Gw45gvid8dsA" target="_blank">Besser Basteln</a> und <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiSnTJHJ8z60IJSzxqY4FDw" target="_blank">Marigami</a> verwendet. Eventuell braucht ihr ein oder zwei Versuche, aber dann geht das mit dem Falten recht einfach von der Hand.</i></span><br />

Hello everybody, <i>hallo zusammen,</i><br />
<br />
do you feel spring already? In Vienna the last two days have been wonderfully warm and sunny, but today the sun unfortunately hides again behind the clouds.<br />
Today I wanna share a recipe for a delicious cheesecake with sour cherries. It's easy to make and remindes me of warm summer days, which are hopefully soon to come... <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>lässt sich bei euch auch langsam der Frühling blicken? In Wien war es die letzten beiden Tage ganz wunderbar warm und sonnig, heute versteckt sich die Sonne aber leider wieder hinter ihrer dicken Wolkendecke!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Heute möchte ich ein Rezept für einen köstlichen Topfenkuchen mit Weichseln (Sauerkirschen) teilen. Der ist ganz einfach zu machen und erinnert mich außerdem an warme Sommertage, die jetzt hoffentlich bald kommen werden...</i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
What you need / Das braucht ihr</h3>
<ul>
<li>4 eggs / <i>4 Eier</i></li>
<li>250 g curd / <i>250 g Magertopfen</i></li>
<li>80 g brown sugar / <i>80 g Rohrzucker</i></li>
<li>1 glass of sour cherries / <i>ein Glas Sauerkirschen</i></li>
</ul>
<h3>
How it works / Und so funktionierts</h3>
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Put the sour cherries through a sieve and let them drain well.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Den Backofen auf 170°C vorheizen. Dann die Eier trennen und die Eiweiße steif schlagen. Die Weichseln durch ein Sieb gießen und gut abtropfen lassen.</i></span><br />

In a second bowl mix together the egg yolks, the curd and the sugar. Then add the sour cherries.<br />

Hello you lovelies, <i>hallo ihr Lieben,</i><br />
<br />
sorry for being off the (blog)world for the last two weeks! I simply needed a break from my laptop after the last crazy weeks, but now my reserves are fuelled again and I'm ready to go. :) As I missed the <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2015/02/green-sunday-saving-energy-at-home.html#more" target="_blank">Green Sunday</a> last week I'm going to make up for it now by proposing some means to reduce one's plastic consumption. "Why reduce plastic at all?", you might ask now. "Isn't it handy, light and usable for multiple things?". All true, but plastic is also made from fossil oil, which is a limited ressource as we all know. In addition, the recycling of plastic is quite problematic! Far more often than it should be, plastic finds its way into nature where it not only pollutes the environment and poses a threat to various animals who might eat it but it also becomes part of the food chain, which ultimately affects us humans too. And if that's not convincing enough: There are whole <a href="http://plasticcontinents.com/" target="_blank">plastic continents</a> floating around in the ocean! I think that's reason enough to act... ;)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>entschuldigt bitte meine Abwesenheit in den letzten zwei Wochen! Nach den letzten paar verrückten Wochen brauchte ich einfach eine Pause von meinem Laptop, aber jetzt sind die Reserven frisch gefüllt und es kann munter weitergehen. :) Weil ich den <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2015/02/green-sunday-saving-energy-at-home.html#more" target="_blank">Green Sunday</a> letze Woche ja irgendwie ausgelassen habe, werde ich ihn heute nachholen und zwar mit ein paar guten Tipps, wie man den Plastikmüllberg in seinem Haushalt reduzieren kann. "Warum überhaupt reduzieren?", werden sich jetzt manche von euch vielleicht fragen. "Ist Plastik nicht superpraktisch, leicht und vielfältig einsetzbar?" Stimmt alles, aber für die Produktion ist man dennoch auf Erdöl angewiesen, das ja erwiesenermaßen immer weniger wird. Außerdem ist auch das Recycling von Plastik mehr als problematisch. Sehr viel öfter als gut wäre gelangt das Plastik in die Natur, wo es nicht nur die Umwelt verschmutzt, sondern auch Tiere bedroht, die das Plastik mit Nahrung verwechseln. Außerdem gelangt es somit in die Nahrungskette, die uns Menschen ja auch betrifft. Und wer jetzt noch immer nicht überzeugt ist: Riesige <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/a-533229.html" target="_blank">Plastikteppiche</a> von der Größe eines Kontinents treiben im Meer umher! Also ich finde das allein ist schon ein Grund, aktiv zu werden... ;)</i></span><br />
<i></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i></i><br />
<h3>
1) Say No To Plastic Bags/Sag Nein zu Plastiksäcken<i> </i></h3>
One of the easiest ways to reduce plastic in everyday life is to stop using plastic bags. No matter if you buy food, clothes, cosmetics or books, prevent the shop clerk in a polite manner from putting your stuff in a plastic bag and put it in your own bag instead. I usually carry an extra shopping bag with me to make sure that I have enough space.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Eine der einfachsten Methoden um Plastik im Alltag zu verringern, ist die Nicht-Mehr-Verwendung von Plastiksackerln. Egal ob ihr Essen, Klamotten, Kosmetik oder Bücher kauft, haltet den netten Menschen hinter der Kasse höflich, aber bestimmt, davon ab, eure Sachen in ein Plastiksackerl zu packen und gebt sie stattdessen in eure eigene Tasche. Ich trage normalerweise immer eine extra Stofftasche mit mir herum, damit ich auch immer genug Platz für meine Einkäufe habe.</i></span><br />

<h3>
2) Reduce Food Packaging Made from Plastic/Lebensmittelverpackungen aus Plastik reduzieren</h3>
Okay, this one's already a bit harder. Sometimes I've got the feeling that every single piece in the supermarket is wrapped in an extra layer of plastic, even if it seems completely unnecessary (for example vegetables in plastic or muesli in cardboard that is extra wrapped in plastic too etc.). Nevertheless, the situation is not hopeless. In many supermarkets you can get vegetables and fruit unwrapped and products like eggs or bread are usually only wrapped in paper or cardboard. Organic food stores are a great tip if you want to buy milk products or beverages in glass bottles. If you want to reduce food packaging completely you could check for extra stores specialized in that sort of thing. In Vienna for example, there is <a href="http://www.mass-greisslerei.at/" target="_blank">Lunzers Maß-Greißlerei</a>, a store that abandons packaging alltogether (you simply have to bring your own containers). In Germany there is at least <a href="http://original-unverpackt.de/" target="_blank">Original Unverpackt</a> in Berlin with a similar concept. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Okay, das ist schon ein bisschen schwieriger. Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl, das jedes einzelne Teil im Supermarkt mit einer Plastikschicht umhüllt ist, auch wenn es komplett unnötig ist (Obst und Gemüse in der Folie oder Müsli im Karton, das dann noch mal extra in Plastik verpackt ist zum Beispiel). Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Situation nicht hoffnungslos. In vielen Supermärkten (in Österreich ist SPAR ganz gut in der Richtung, finde ich) findet man Obst und Gemüse auch unverhüllt und Produkte wie Eier oder Brot sind ohnehin meistens in Pappe bzw. Papier verpackt. Bioläden sind dafür ein heißer Tipp, wenn man Milchprodukte oder Getränke in Glasflaschen sucht. Falls du Essensverpackungen überhaupt komplett weglassen möchtest, musst du wohl nach Läden Ausschau halten, die extra auf sowas spezialisiert sind. In Wien gibt es beispielsweise die <a href="http://www.mass-greisslerei.at/" target="_blank">Lunzers Maß-Greißlerei</a> - hier gibt es sämtliche Produkte nur unverpackt (Behältnisse zum transportieren sind selbst mitzubringen). In Deutschland gibt es sowas auf jeden Fall auch schon in Berlin - <a href="http://original-unverpackt.de/" target="_blank">Original Unverpackt</a> heißt der Laden dort. </i></span><br />

<h3>
3) Plastic-Free Beauty Products/Plastikfreie Kosmetik</h3>
Cosmetic products, that are not plastic-wrapped, are not that easy to find, but it's not impossible either. If you choose solid instead of liquid soap you can definitely reduce your plastic consumption and there are also shampoo bars wrapped in paper (<a href="http://www.naturseifen-manufaktur.de/solidshampoos-als-nachfuellstueck-ohne-aludose/" target="_blank">here</a> for example). Brushes, toothbrushes, combs and shaving brushes (for the boys) can also be made from wood, although I'm personally not a big fan of wooden toothbrushes. An alternative may be toothbrushes with changing heads. Those wouldn't eliminate plastic from the daily dental hygiene alltogether, but at least reduce it. Deodorant is definitely sold in glass bottles too. My personal favourites are the <a href="http://www.weleda.at/produkt/s/salbei-deodorant" target="_blank">lavender deodorant</a> by Weleda and the camilla deodorant by CD. Those are free of aluminium too, which is an extra bonus. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Kometikprodukte, die nicht in Plastik verpackt sind, sind nicht ganz so einfach zu finden, aber es ist auch nicht unmöglich. Wenn man zum Beispiel Flüssig- gegen solide Seife tauscht, kann man schon mal ganz schön viel Plastik sparen. Zudem gibt es auch Shampoo in Würfelform zu kaufen (<a href="http://www.naturseifen-manufaktur.de/solidshampoos-als-nachfuellstueck-ohne-aludose/" target="_blank">hier</a> zum Beispiel). Bürsten, Zahnbürsten, Kämme und Rasierpinsel (für die Jungs) gibt es auf jeden Fall auch aus Holz, obwohl ich persönlich nicht der Megafan von Holzzahnbürsten bin. Eine ganz gute Alternative wären eventuell Wechselkopfzahnbürsten. Mit denen kann man das Plastik zwar nicht ganz aus der täglichen Zahnhygiene entfernen, aber es zumindest reduzieren. Deo wird auf jeden Fall auch in Glasflaschen verkauft. Meine persönlichen Lieblinge sind das <a href="http://www.weleda.at/produkt/s/salbei-deodorant" target="_blank">Lavendeldeo</a> von Weleda und das Kamillendeo von CD. Diese sind auch frei von Aluminium, wofür es natürlich einen Extra-Bonus gibt. :)</i></span><br />

<h3>
4) Plastic-Free Cleaning and Washing/Plastikfrei Putzen und Waschen </h3>
Similar to cosmetic products, most cleaning products come packed in plastic, but there are still some good possibilities to reduce plastic. First of all you may choose laundry detergent powder instead of liquid detergents. The powder cleans just as good as the liquid but usually comes in a cardboard box instead of a plastic bottle. For other cleaning agents we could all think a little bit about our grandmothers and how they cleaned their houses in earlier days. Baking soda, vinegar or citric acid can be used as very effective cleaning agents. Lauren from <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/" target="_blank">Trash is for Tossers</a> (awesome, awesome blog!!) gives some great advice on how to <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2014/08/cleaning-toilet-naturally.html" target="_blank">clean the toilet</a>, how to use white <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2013/10/zero-waste-cleaning.html" target="_blank">vinegar</a> as cleaning detergent and even how to <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2013/06/unclogging-your-drain-naturally.html" target="_blank">unclog a drain</a> in a natural manner and Sandra from <a href="http://www.keinheimfuerplastik.at/" target="_blank">Kein Heim für Plastik</a> (No Home for Plastic) gives some <a href="http://www.keinheimfuerplastik.at/putzen-und-waschen-teil-1-das-putzgeheimnis/" target="_blank">tipps on using citric acid</a> (only in German unfortunately). I use citric acid always to descale my coffee mashine, by the way. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Ähnlich wie Kosmetikprodukte sind auch die meisten Reinigungsmittel in Plastik verpackt, aber auch hier gibt es ein paar gute Möglichkeiten um Plastik zu reduzieren. Zunächst einmal kann man von Flüssigwaschmittel auf klassisches Waschpulver umsteigen. Das reinigt ganz genau so gut, aber kommt im Karton statt in der Plastikflasche. Was andere Reinigungsmittel angeht, so lohnt es sich, ein bisschen über unsere Großmütter nachzudenken und wie diese ihre Häuser früher sauber gebracht haben. Unter anderem sind Natron, Essig und Zitronensäure ziemlich gut als Reinigungsmittel einsetzbar. Lauren von <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/" target="_blank">Trash is for Tossers</a> (ganz, ganz toller Blog!!) hat ein paar gute Ratschläge parat, wie man auf natürlichem Weg die <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2014/08/cleaning-toilet-naturally.html" target="_blank">Toilette sauber</a> bekommt, <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2013/10/zero-waste-cleaning.html" target="_blank">Essig zum Putzen</a> verwenden kann oder mit Hilfe von Backsoda den <a href="http://www.trashisfortossers.com/2013/06/unclogging-your-drain-naturally.html" target="_blank">verstopften Abfluss</a> reinigen kann und Sandra von <a href="http://www.keinheimfuerplastik.at/" target="_blank">Kein Heim für Plastic</a> hat ein paar gute <a href="http://www.keinheimfuerplastik.at/putzen-und-waschen-teil-1-das-putzgeheimnis/" target="_blank">Ideen für Zitronensäure</a>. Ich verwende diese übrigens immer, um meine Kaffeemaschine zu entkalken. </i></span><br />

<h3>
5) Plastic-Free (Online) Shopping</h3>
Last but not least some ideas on where to actually find plastic-free products. :) As I already mentioned before, organic food stores and organic supermarkets are a hot tip for all sorts of plastic-free groceries and also cosmetics. In addition there are also some good online stores, such as <a href="http://www.lifewithoutplastic.com/store/" target="_blank">Life without Plastic</a>, <a href="http://www.waschbaer.de/orbiz/DigiTrade/index.html" target="_blank">Waschbär</a>, or <a href="https://www.vivanda.at/shop/" target="_blank">vivanda</a>. <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Zu guter Letzt noch ein paar Ideen, wo man jetzt plastikfreie Produkte tatsächlich kaufen kann. :) Wie schon oben erwähnt sind Bioläden und Biosupermärkte auf jeden Fall ein heißer Tipp in Sachen plastikfreie Lebensmittel und Kosmetik. Außerdem gibt es noch ein paar gute Online-Shops, wie etwa <a href="http://www.lifewithoutplastic.com/store/" target="_blank">Life without Plastic</a>, <a href="http://www.waschbaer.de/orbiz/DigiTrade/index.html" target="_blank">Waschbär</a> oder <a href="https://www.vivanda.at/shop/" target="_blank">vivanda</a>. </i></span><br />

Hello you lovelies, <i>hallo ihr Lieben,</i><br />
<br />
the last week was, this week and the next one will be crazy! I'll have to hand in two papers on Friday and study for a quite difficult exam I have next week. In addition I'm going to attend (what I believe will be) a pretty cool congress on sustainability "<a href="http://www.guteslebenfueralle.org/index.php?id=1&L=1" target="_blank">Good Life For All</a>" over the weekend and have to hand in my regular <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/tbnn/category/media-culture/tv/" target="_blank">TV-program</a> for <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/" target="_blank">the bird's new nest</a>. As you can see, I'm quite busy... :D Nevertheless, I managed to put together a little 10-minute DIY project in one of my study breaks yesterday (perfect occupation to relax!!), which I want to share with you today: a jewelry plate with diamonds. All you need is an empty white plate and a porcelain marker and you are ready to go! :)<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>die letzte Woche war sehr voll, und die nächsten beiden werden auch noch mal sehr busy! Bis Freitag muss ich zwei Uniarbeiten abgeben und nächste Woche wartet eine ziemlich anspruchsvolle Prüfung auf mich. Dazu werde ich am Wochenende zu einem (wie ich glaube ziemlich coolen) Kongress über Nachhaltigkeit gehen - "<a href="http://www.guteslebenfueralle.org/index.php?id=1" target="_blank">Gutes Leben für alle</a>" - und außerdem muss ich irgendwo noch mein regelmäßiges <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/tbnn/category/media-culture/tv/" target="_blank">Fernsehprogramm</a> für <a href="http://thebirdsnewnest.com/" target="_blank">the bird's new nest</a> unterbringen. Ich bin also ziemlich gut beschäftigt momentan... :D Trotzdem habe ich gestern in einer meiner Lernpausen ein kleines 10-Minuten DIY-Projekt zusammengezaubert (perfekte Beschäftigung um abzuschalten!!), das ich heute mit euch teilen mag: einen Schmuckteller mit Diamanten. Alles was ihr dafür braucht, ist ein leeres, weißer Teller und einen Porzellanmarker, und schon könnt ihr loslegen! :)</i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
What you'll need / Was ihr braucht</h3>
<ul>
<li>bigger, white plate / <i>einen größeren, weißen Teller</i></li>

</ul>

</h3>
This project is really quick and simple. Start by washing your plate (there mustn't be any fat or dirt on it, otherwise the color won't stick). Then draw little circle around the plate's edge with your porcelain marker. Afterwards draw the diamonds in the plate's middle and you are done! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Dieses Projekt geht wirklich schnell und ist supersimpel. Bevor ihr startet, solltet ihr unbedingt euren Teller noch mal abwaschen (wenn er fettig oder dreckig ist, haltet die Farbe nicht). Malt mit dem Porzellanmarker kleine Kreise am Tellerrand entlang. Anschließend die Diamanten in die Mitte zeichnen und schon seid ihr fertig! :)</i></span><br />

Hi folks, <i>hallo zusammen</i>,<br />
<br />
last week I made "Kärnter Kasnudeln" myself for the very first time! I was really proud, also because they turned out really fine. :) For those of you who don't know these delicious filled steamed buns: "Kärnter Kasnudeln" are an Austrian specialty, from Carinthia to be exact. They are filled with a potatoe-curd-herbs-mixture. I love those filled noodles, but in the past I've always bought the ready-made-version from the supermarket. To make them oneself is actually a bit elaborate, but the result is definitely worth the effort.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>letzte Woche habe ich zum ersten Mal Kärntner Kasnudeln selbst gemacht! Mann da war ich stolz auf mich, vor allem weil sie auch wirklich ziemlich gut geworden sind. :) Für alle, die diese leckeren gefüllten Teigtaschen nicht kennen: Kärntner Kasnudeln sind eine österreichische Spezialität und zwar aus (logisch) Kärnten, dem südlichsten Bundesland. Gefüllt werden mit einer Topfen-Kartoffel-Kräuter Mischung. Ich mag die total gern, wobei ich bisher immer faul die Fertigvariante aus dem Supermarkt besorgt habe. Sie selbst zu machen ist dann in der Tat auch etwas aufwendig, aber dieser Aufwand lohnt sich definitiv! </i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
What you'll need / Was ihr braucht</h3>
<ul>
<li>200 g potatoes / <i>200g Kartoffeln</i></li>
<li>2 tsp. chopped leek / 2<i> TL gehackter Lauch</i></li>
<li>10 mint leaves / <i>10 Minzeblätter</i></li>
<li>1 tsp. salt / <i>1 TL Salz</i></li>
<li>400 g curd / <i>400 g Topfen</i></li>
<li>(the orginal recipe also said a handful of chervil, but I didn't have one and it still turned out great / <i>im Originalrezept war auch noch von einer Handvoll Kerbel die Rede. Hatte leider keinen, wurde aber trotzdem sehr lecker</i>) </li>
<li>300 g flour (I used spelt flour) / <i>300 g Mehl (ich hab Dinkelmehl verwendet)</i></li>
<li>2 egg yolks / <i>2 Eigelbe</i></li>
<li>2 eggs / <i>2 Eier</i></li>
<li>1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil / <i>1/2 EL Pflanzenöl</i></li>
<li>1 pinch of salt / <i>eine Prise Salz</i></li>
<li>100 g butter / <i>100 g Butter</i></li>
<li>chives / <i>Schnittlauch</i></li>

<h3>
How it works / Und so funktionierts</h3>
For the filling cook the potatoes, peel them and mash them with a fork. Chop the leek and the mint leaves and mix them with the potatoes, the curd and 1 teaspoon of salt (in case you need more salt than that, simply salt to taste :) ). Form balls with a diameter of 2 to 3 cm and put them in the fridge.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für die Füllung die Kartoffeln kochen, schälen und mit einer Gabel zerdrücken. Den Lauch und die Minze klein hacken und mit den Kartoffeln, dem Topfen und dem Teelöffel Salz vermischen (eventuell benötigt ihr etwas mehr Salz als angegeben - am besten einfach nach eigenem Geschmack würzen). Formt Kugeln mit etwa 2 bis 3 Zentimetern im Durchmesser und stellt sie kühl (am besten in den den Kühlschrank). </i></span><br />

For the dough, knead together the flour, the egg yolks, the eggs, the oil and a pinch of salt and add water until you get a smooth dough. Form a big ball, flour it and leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für den Teig das Mehl, die Eigelbe, die Eier, das Öl und eine Prise Salz miteinander verkneten und solange Wasser hinzufügen bis ein geschmeidiger Teig entsteht. Anschließend den Teig zu einer großen Kugel formen, mit Mehl bestäuben und für etwa eine halbe Stunde rasten lassen. </i></span><br />

Roll the pastry, but make sure to put enough flour underneath it first. Lay about three potatoe-curd-balls on the dough (about 5 cm from the edge), fold the dough over the balls and press it firmly. Cut the noodles out with a knife. If you want you can also garnish the noodle's edges with the knife. <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Nun könnt ihr den Teig ausrollen, aber stellt vorher sicher, dass ihr auch genug Mehl auf eurer Oberfläche verteilt habt (sonst bleibt der Teig kleben). Jeweils etwa drei Kugeln von der Füllung in einigem Abstand auf den Teig legen (etwa 5 cm von der Kante entfernt), dann den Teig darüberschlagen und festdrücken. Die Nudeln ausschneiden. Falls ihr Lust habt, könnt ihr die Nudeln jetzt auch noch ein bisschen mit dem Messer verzieren.</i></span><br />

Boil up some water in a pot and add some salt. Put the noodles into the boiling water, reduce the heat and let them seethe for about 6 to 8 minutes. In the meantime cut the chives and melt some butter in a pot.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Setzt einen Topf mit Wasser auf und fügt etwas Salz hinzu. Gebt die Nudeln ins kochende Wasser, reduziert die Hitze und lasst sie für etwa 6 bis 8 Minuten ziehen.

Hello everybody, Hallo ihr Lieben,<br />
<br />
some of you might remember <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/04/diy-greeting-cards-with-lace-pattern.html" target="_blank">this post</a>, where I bragged that I had many good ideas for DIY-projects with lace. As you can see, some months have passed but nothing really happened. :D This is going to change today, because I'm actually about to share a new little crafting project including lace, namely a little key bag made from fabric- and lace remnants. Of course you can adapt the size individually and also make a makeup bag, a pencil-case or something similar the same way. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>einige von euch können sich vielleicht noch an <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/04/diy-greeting-cards-with-lace-pattern.html" target="_blank">diesen Post</a> erinnern, wo ich ganz stolz damit geprahlt habe, dass ich noch einige gute Ideen für DIY-Projekte mit Spitze im Petto habe... Nun ja, wie wir alle sehen können, sind nun einige Monate vergangen und noch ist nicht viel passiert. :D Aber das wird sich jetzt ändern, denn heute habe ich tatsächlich wieder mal ein kleines Crafting-Projekt mit Spitze im Gepäck und zwar: ein Schlüsseltäschchen aus Stoff- und Spitzenresten. Natürlich kann man die Größe auch individuell adaptieren und nach Lust und Laune auch eine Kosmetiktasche, ein Federpennal oder ähnliches zaubern. </i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
<b>What you need</b></h3>
<ul>
<li>remnant of blue fabric (at least 14 cm x 18 cm) / <i>blauer Stoffrest (min. 14 cm x 18cm)</i> </li>
<li>lace (at least 14 x 6 cm) / <i>Spitze (min. 14x 6 cm)</i></li>
<li>zipper, 12 cm long / <i>Reißverschluss, 12 cm lang </i></li>
<li>fitting sewing thread / <i>passendes Nähgarn</i></li>
<li>scissors / <i>Schere</i></li>
<li>pins / <i>Stecknadeln</i></li>
<li>French chalk / <i>Schneiderkreide </i></li>
<li>needle / <i>Nadel</i></li>
<li>basting cotton / <i>Heftgarn</i></li>
<li>sewing machine / <i>Nähmaschine</i></li>
<li>zipper presser foot / <i>Spezialnähfuß für Reißverschlüsse</i> </li>
<li>paper and pencil (if you want) / <i>eventuell Papier und Bleistift </i></li>
</ul>
<b> </b><b> </b><br />
<h3>
<b>How it works </b></h3>
First, we cut out the fabric. Fold the blue fabric once and draw a 12 cm long and 8 cm high rectangle on the fabric (along the center fold). If you want it to be super-exact, you can draw the rectangle on paper first. Then add 1 cm seam allowance on every side and cut out the rectangle. After that, cut out a 14 cm long and 8 cm high stripe out of the lace.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wir beginnen mit dem Zuschneiden. Falte den blauen Stoff einmal um und zeichne ein 12 cm langes und 8 cm hohes Rechteck (am Stoffbruch entlang). Wenn du es ganz genau haben möchtest, kannst du es vorher aus Papier ausschneiden. Dann noch 1 cm Nahtzugabe auf jeder Seite dazu und ausschneiden. Anschließend aus der Seide einen 14 cm x 8 cm großen Streifen ausschneiden. </i></span><br />

<br />
We start our sewing process with the zipper. To do so, lay the fabric in front of you (with the right side up), and the lace on the fabric (top edge). Then put the zipper, right side on right side, on the fabric and fix it with pins. If you want, you can also tack the zipper before you sew it in with the machine. I always do that, because then I can be sure that nothing slips out of position. Sew the first side of the zipper on the fabric, pretty close along the zipper. When you get near the zipper slider, raise the presser foot (be careful, the needle must pin in the fabric), turn around the fabric a bit and open the zipper from underneath, so you can continue stitching.<br />
(I think I just set a new record for using the word "zipper" in one paragraph. :D ) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wir beginnen das Täschchen mit dem Reißverschluss. Legt hierfür den Stoff mit der rechten Seite nach oben vor euch hin, legt die Spitze an der oberen Kante an und dann den Reißverschluss rechts auf rechts auf den Stoff. Fixiert den Reißverschluss mit Nadeln, heftet ihn an (mir gibt das immer Sicherheit, weil ich dann weiß, dass wirklich nichts verrutschen kann) und näht die erste Seite des Reißverschlusses knapp entlang des Reißverschlusses fest. Wenn ihr in die Nähe des Zippers kommt, den Steppfuß heben (die Nadel muss aber im Stoff stecken), den Stoff etwas zur Seite drehen und den Zipper von innen öffnen, damit ihr vorbeikommt. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>(Ich glaube, ich hab gerade einen neuen Rekord für die Nutzung des Wortes "Reißverschluss" in einem einzigen Absatz aufgestellt. :D ) </i></span><br />

<br />
Open the zipper completely, turn the fabric inside out and pin the zipper's other side right on right on the fabric's other edge. Then, sew it in. In case you have problems with the zipper, there is a pretty good <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEdLFrp-y7o" target="_blank">video tutorial</a> by the DaWanda Nähschule, where everything is described very well (unfortunately the video is in German, because I couldn't find an English video tutorial describing the same method the German instructor used, but I also watched it without noise and I think it's still very demonstrative and easy to understand, even if you don't speak the language). <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Dann den Reißverschluss öffnen, an der anderen Kante ebenfalls rechts auf rechts feststecken, festheften (alles auf links drehen, damit das klappt) und dann festnähen. Falls ihr Probleme beim Einnähen habt, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEdLFrp-y7o" target="_blank">hier</a> gibt es ein tolles Videotutorial von der DaWanda Nähschule, in dem das wirklich einfach und gut erklärt wird. </i></span><br />

Now you can fix the side seams with pins and tack them if you want. Stitch them, starting directly underneath the zipper. Before you do that, make sure, that you left the zipper open a bit. Otherwise you won't be able to turn the bag inside out afterwards... ;) Finally, cut the zipper's overlong pieces to size and trim the remaining loose edges. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Nun könnt ihr die Seitennähte feststecken, heften und (direkt unter dem Reißverschluss) zunähen. Stellt aber vorher sicher, dass der Reißverschluss ein Stück weit geöffnet ist, damit ihr das Schlüsseltäschchen am Schluss auch von innen nach außen umdrehen könnt... ;) Am Ende noch die überstehenden Enden des Reißverschlusses zurechtschneiden und die restlichen losen Kanten versäubern. </i></span><br />

<br />
Hello everybody, hallo zusammen,<br />
<br />
today I wanna share a recipe for carrot soup with red lentils and plums (with bacon, if you like). In my opinion it's the perfect soup for winter - warm and filling and delicious. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>heute möchte ich ein Rezept für Karottensuppe mit roten Linsen und Pflaumen (in Speck gebraten, wer möchte) mit euch teilen. Meiner Meinung nach ist es eine perfekte Wintersuppe - warm und füllend und köstlich! :)</i></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>What you'll need</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 spring onion / <i>1 Frühlingszwiebel</i></li>
<li>30 g fresh ginger / <i>30 g frischer Ingwer</i></li>
<li>400 g carrots / <i>400 g Karotten</i></li>
<li>200g potatoes / <i>200 g Kartoffeln</i></li>
<li>olive oil / <i>Olivenöl</i></li>
<li>1/2 tsp. cinnamon / <i>1/2 TL Zimt</i></li>
<li>400 ml orange juice / <i>400 ml Orangensaft</i></li>
<li>prunes / <i>Dörrpflaumen </i></li>
<li>some slices of breakfast bacon (optional) / <i>einige Scheiben Frühstücksspeck (optional)</i></li>
<li>salt and pepper / <i>Salz und Pfeffer</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>How it works</b><br />
<br />
Chop the spring onion. Then peel the ginger and chop it too. Peel the carrots and the potatoes and cut them in about 1 cm thick slices. Heat up some oil in a pot and brown the vegetables for about two minutes. Add the cinnamon and then the orange juice and 600 ml boiling water. Bring the soup to the boil and cook it over low heat for about 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Schneidet den Frühlingszwiebel in feine Ringe, dann den Ingwer schälen und fein hacken. Schält die Karotten und die Kartoffeln und schneidet sie in etwa 1 cm dicke Scheiben. Erhitzt anschließend etwas Öl in einem Topf und lasst das Gemüse für etwa zwei Minuten anrösten. Dann den Zimt, den Orangensaft und 600 ml kochendes Wasser dazu und alles für etwa zwanzig Minuten auf kleiner Flamme köcheln lassen. </i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bm1BW0GPc3-xw0q4xMsCUwibovRRoq9fJKe7UKyA6V-AaYkpuPIrvJhxyTNExTxCA725k3Ng8WiC7mMIp70a0NqAYpOCjQ92RtGD8YSysWpHy_XfyUV0r9j0O9cfax5-Cnz9GhfwU_I/s1600/Carrot+Soup+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5bm1BW0GPc3-xw0q4xMsCUwibovRRoq9fJKe7UKyA6V-AaYkpuPIrvJhxyTNExTxCA725k3Ng8WiC7mMIp70a0NqAYpOCjQ92RtGD8YSysWpHy_XfyUV0r9j0O9cfax5-Cnz9GhfwU_I/s1600/Carrot+Soup+3.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In the meantime you can prepare the red lentils. Simply wash them with cold water for a minute, then cook them in some vegetable stock for about 10 minutes. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Während die Suppe kocht, könnt ihr die Linsen zubereiten. Einfach kurz mit Wasser abwaschen und dann für etwa 10 Minuten in etwas Gemüsebrühe weich kochen und abseihen. </i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqBtd02bgZOKG4kbsZkbN0ygQ5zFSpNp3KYJ-Mu-cp_oN8FDK2jHfgBbUUuGwUeWoA5hLmv_g2Mxeuaq5MPZQ6koT60vE-oCEeryCKiSuX3obL8_k890JuCta2cchG6AbGCtfdYdKfODw/s1600/Carrot+Soup+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqBtd02bgZOKG4kbsZkbN0ygQ5zFSpNp3KYJ-Mu-cp_oN8FDK2jHfgBbUUuGwUeWoA5hLmv_g2Mxeuaq5MPZQ6koT60vE-oCEeryCKiSuX3obL8_k890JuCta2cchG6AbGCtfdYdKfODw/s1600/Carrot+Soup+4.jpg" height="408" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If you want to make plums with bacon, now's the time. Cut the bacon slices in half, then wrap each plum with one (half) slice of bacon. Heat up some oil in a pan and fry the bacon plums from all sides until they are crunchy. Dates work well too, by the way. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Falls ihr Speckpflaumen machen möchtet, ist jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt. Halbiert hierfür die Speckscheiben der Länge nach und umwickelt anschließend jede Pflaume mit einem Streifen Speck. Dann etwas Öl in einer Pfanne erhitzen und die Speckpflaumen von allen Seiten knusprig braten. Klappt übrigens auch gut mit Datteln. </i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeZrNvzvd4iqIa4FLIB0adsCcB2lV0MyOyswLavmcYLWGSeddXiAAduozqKoD7MeBDbSkRUwk8UM42tUeU_kNZNZvqUsmTRBYWc1QZrJQu48sJN1Y7J0IyJGa08pNgLy0kzAws7wuknU/s1600/Carrot+Soup+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeZrNvzvd4iqIa4FLIB0adsCcB2lV0MyOyswLavmcYLWGSeddXiAAduozqKoD7MeBDbSkRUwk8UM42tUeU_kNZNZvqUsmTRBYWc1QZrJQu48sJN1Y7J0IyJGa08pNgLy0kzAws7wuknU/s1600/Carrot+Soup+8.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Blend the carrot soup. Then add the red lentils and salt and pepper to taste. Then serve the soup together with the plums in soup dishes and enjoy! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Nun die Karottensuppe pürieren. Gebt die roten Linsen dazu und schmeckt nochmal alles mit Salz und Pfeffer ab. Anschließend die Suppe, gemeinsam mit den Speckpflaumen, in tiefen Tellern anrichten und genießen! :)</i></span><br />

Hello everybody,<br />
<br />
as many of you already know, I started to study Environmental and Sustainability Management last fall. Although I already thought a lot about sustainability before I went to back to university, the study is of course an extra-motivator for me to get active, and organise my own life a little greener as well.<br />
As I would love many other people to join me in this experiment, I decided to start a new monthly blog-series on Tulip and Lily. ;) Every first Sunday of the month will be declared "Green Sunday", where I will take a look at a certain topic or area of life and search for ways to make them a bit greener. I hope you'll like it! <br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Hallo zusammen,</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: small;">wie einige von euch ja schon wissen, habe ich im Herbst damit begonnen Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement zu studieren. Zwar habe ich mich auch davor schon viel mit dem Thema beschäftigt, aber das Studium ist natürlich ein Extra-Motivator auch am eigenen Verhalten zu arbeiten und auch das eigene Leben schrittweise grüner zu gestalten. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Und weil ich es natürlich toll fände, wenn möglichst viele Leute mitmachen, habe ich entschieden, eine monatliche Blog-Serie zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit zu starten. Jeder erste Sonntag im Monat wird zum "Green Sunday" erklärt, an dem ich ein Thema bzw. einen Lebensbereich genauer unter die Lupe nehmen, und ein paar Tipps zusammensuchen werde, wie man diesen ein bisschen (um-)weltfreundlicher gestalten kann. Hoffe, die neue Serie wird euch gefallen! </span></i><br />

As there are so many different topics, it was difficult to decide where to start. Therefore I chose the topic that first came to my mind and will take a look at possibilities to save energy energy at home today. This is not only good for the climate and the natural ressources, but also for your energy bill, and who wouldn't want that?!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Weil es so viele verschiedene Bereiche gibt, ist es erstmal nicht so einfach zu entscheiden, wo man anfangen soll. Daher habe ich für diesen Green Sunday das Thema genommen, das mir spontan als Erstes eingefallen ist und widme mich deshalb mal den Energiesparmöglichkeiten für zu Hause. Das ist nicht nur gut fürs Klima und die natürlichen Ressourcen, sondern auch fürs Geldbörsel (ganz ehrlich, wer freut sich nicht wie die Schneekönigin, wenn die Energieabrechnung am Jahresende ins Haus flattert und man feststellt, dass man ab sofort weniger im Monat bezahlen muss??)!</i></span><br />
<br />
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Turn off the light/Licht aus </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This might sound like a no-brainer, but many of us could really save a lot of energy by turning off the devices they don't need at that moment! This is especially true for electronic appliances running on stand-by. Did you know that stand-by processes amount up to 5% of the power consumption in an average home? That's a lot! If you unplug your TV, modem, radio etc. when you don't need them or leave the house, you can save a lot of energy. To make that even more easy and as little as time-consuming as possible you can invest in some splitter cables with flip switch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Obwohl es eigentlich mehr als logisch ist, tun es viele von uns nicht. Tatsächlich könnten wir aber alle viel Energie sparen, wenn wir die Dinge, die wir gerade nicht benutzen auch wirklich abdrehen würden. Das betrifft vor allem Geräte, die fast permanent im Stand-by-Modus laufen. Stand-by-Prozesse machen in einem durchschnittlichen Haushalt nämlich bis zu 5% des Stromverbrauchs aus und das ist echt viel! Wenn du Geräte wie Fernseher, Radio, Modem usw. absteckst, wenn du sie nicht (mehr) brauchst oder wenn du das Haus verlässt, spart dir das also eine Menge (Energie und Geld)!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Switch to energy-efficient equipment/Steig auf energieeffiziente Geräte um</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you buy new electric appliances for the next time, consider taking the most efficient ones. Yes, those are usually more expensive than less energy-efficient ones, but you can compensate the higher acquisition costs with the lower energy consumption after some time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another possibility to save energy is to switch from usual light bulbs to LED-lamps. Those are not only way more energy-efficient, but have also a much much longer lifespan than regular bulbs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wenn du das nächste Mal Elektrogeräte kaufst, überlege dir, die energieeffizientesten zu nehmen! Diese sind in der Anschaffung zwar wahrscheinlich teurer, aber diese anfänglichen Mehrkosten bekommt man durch die Stromersparnis nach einiger Zeit wieder herein. Einen guten Überblick über die Energieeffizienz verschiedener Geräte bietet die Seite <a href="http://topprodukte.at/">topprodukte.at</a>.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Auch beim Licht lässt sich eine Menge Strom einsparen und zwar, indem man von herkömmlichen Glühbirnen auf LED-Lampen umsteigt. Diese sind nämlich nicht nur deutlich energieeffizienter als normale Leuchten, sondern halten auch sehr, sehr viel länger. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Laundry and Dishes/Wäsche und Abwasch</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
More energy can be saved in the kitchen or/and in the laundry room!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you didn't just take part in a mud fight, your laundry will also become clean at low temperatures. In addition, make sure that you only turn on the washing machine if it's full. Clothes driers are real power guzzlers unfortunately! If you want to save energy in this area you should therefore hang out the laundry the old-fashioned way. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For people (like me), who hate doing the dishes, I have good news! Using a dishwasher is more energy-efficient than doing the dishes by hand, just make sure, that it's full before you turn it on. Furthermore, choose the energy saver mode! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Weiteres Energieeinsparungspotential findet ihr in eurer (Wasch-)Küche! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wenn ihr nicht gerade eine Schlammschlacht veranstaltet habt, wird eure Wäsche bei den heutigen Waschmitteln auch bei 30°C sauber. Zudem solltet ihr darauf achten, die Maschine auch wirklich voll zu machen. Wäschetrockner sind leider ziemliche Energiefresser! Wer in diesem Bereich sparen möchte, sollte die Wäsche also lieber altmodisch zum Trocken auf den Wäscheständer hängen. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Für Leute, die Geschirrspülen ebenso wenig leiden können wie ich, gibts dafür eine gute Nachricht: Waschen mit dem Geschirrspüler ist deutlich energieeffizienter als mit der Hand abzuwaschen, aber natürlich auch nur dann, wenn er voll ist. Außerdem den Energiesparmodus auswählen! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Get some fresh air/Frischluft schnuppern</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i> </i>Instead of tilting the window for several hours, choose to open it widely every few hours for about 10 minutes. This is way more energy-efficient. <i> </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Alle paar Stunden etwa 10 Minuten stoßzulüften ist deutlich energiesparender als das Fenster zu kippen.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i> </i></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Efficient cooking/Effizient kochen</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are also some good ways to save energy in the kitchen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For example, instead of boiling up water on the stove, you could use a water boiler (which is also the much faster method). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cooking in the oven uses up much more energy than using a pan. Cooking on the stove should therefore be preferred. Furthermore use the residual heat of your stove whenever possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>In der Küche gibt es auch noch mal deutliches Energieeinsparungspotential! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Wasser sollte man nicht im Topf, sondern im Wasserkocher erhitzen (geht auch deutlich schneller). Die Lebensmittelzubereitung im Backrohr verbraucht deutlich mehr Energie als in der Pfanne, das Kochen am statt im Herd sollte daher vorgezogen werden. Außerdem: Wann immer möglich, die Restwärme der Herdplatten nutzen! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you have some more tipps? <i><span style="font-size: small;">Wisst ihr noch mehr?</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have a great (and energy-efficient ;) ) start in the week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yours,</div>

Hey folks,<br />
<br />
is it as cold as in Vienna at your place? Although the sun was shining in the last few days, it's really cold and windy too. Best time for hot chocolate in my opinion!<br />
I went for a healthy recipe this time and combined coconut milk and cocoa powder with a hint of orange and lemon. In addition I left out refined sugar completely and used agave syrup instead. Yummy!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>What you'll need (for 2 persons)</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 l coconut drink (I bought the one from alpro)</li>
<li>2-3 tbsp. cocoa powder</li>
<li>zest of 1/2 orange</li>
<li>zest of 1/2 lemon</li>
<li>1 vanilla bean</li>
<li>1 cinnamon stick</li>
<li>agave syrup</li>
<li>optional: whipped cream, Amaretto </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>How it works</b><br />
<br />
Put the lemon zest, the orange zest, the cinnamon stick and the (lengthwise sliced) vanilla bean together with the milk in a pot, then boil it up. Take the milk from the stove and leave it to draw for a few mintes. Then pass it through a sieve in another pot. <br />

<br />
Boil the milk up again and stir in two to three tablespoons of cocoa powder with a whisk.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrdvl313RJ5SPb3lwXQYNvdqqtFGFsvlcGvL9GhcoLxE_6v6bZ1CaDFtrgjO34i6vs0Qr9rm41yZFd9YgTR51K_Th1WShelP6HNPE_g8lhGGt_Nc0bKDzwW6xlrBwGohCCPF14osJwKQ/s1600/Hot+Chocolate+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrdvl313RJ5SPb3lwXQYNvdqqtFGFsvlcGvL9GhcoLxE_6v6bZ1CaDFtrgjO34i6vs0Qr9rm41yZFd9YgTR51K_Th1WShelP6HNPE_g8lhGGt_Nc0bKDzwW6xlrBwGohCCPF14osJwKQ/s1600/Hot+Chocolate+3.jpg" height="410" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now the hot chocolate is actually ready to drink. If you want to refine it even more you can add one or two tablespoons of whipped cream and/or a teaspoon of Amaretto.<br />

Hello you lovelies,<br />
<br />
I wish you all a beautiful start in the new week! How were your weekends? Hopefully good?!<br />
<br />
David and I went ice skating today and it was real fun! We went to <a href="http://www.engelmann.co.at/winterbetrieb.html" target="_blank">Engelmann</a>, a very nice skating ground in Vienna's 17th district (although I guess nothing will ever top the ice rink in front of the castle in <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/01/better-best-budapest.html" target="_blank">Budapest</a>). Although Engelmann is just a seven minute walk away from our apartment I didn't have a clue it existed until some days ago, because the skating ground is actually located on a rooftop, which is an extra bonus in my opinion. :)<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>As one needs to be warm when ice skating, I decided to put on my new cosy vintage wool pullover, which I bought in <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2015/01/lovely-ljubljana.html" target="_blank">Ljubljana</a> two weeks ago and combine it with the new coat, that I got hold of last week on sale. :)<br />

Hello everybody,<br />
<br />
you may have already noticed, that I really like to bake cake (proof <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/10/glutenfree-almond-pistachio-cake.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/08/la-torta-caprese-la-isabella.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and although I am more often than not happy with the baked result, I honestly think that this buttermilk chocolate cake is one of the prettiest cakes I've made so far... ;) This beauty will take you some time though, as it includes 90 minutes of baking and about 2 1/2 hours of cooling time. However, it's definitely worth the effort because the cake does not only look lovely but tastes really good as well.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>What you'll need</b><br />
<br />
<b>For the cake</b><br />
<ul>
<li> 220 g butter and a bit for greasing the spring-form pan</li>
<li>150 g brown sugar</li>
<li>2 tbsp. vanilla sugar</li>
<li>2 eggs</li>
<li>3 tbsp. of red food dye </li>
<li>300 g spelt flour</li>
<li>2 tbsp. baking powder</li>
<li>40 g cocoa powder</li>
<li>1 pinch of salt</li>
<li>180 ml butter milk</li>
<li>200 g raspberries (I used frozen ones, although think that fresh ones would actually be better. But it wasn't the season and I didn't want to buy raspberries from too far away.)</li>
</ul>
<b>For the frosting</b> <br />
<ul>
<li>150 g white chocolate coating</li>
<li>250 g cream cheese</li>
<li>2 tbsp. food dye</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>How it works</b><br />
<br />
If you use frozen raspberries defrost them (in a sieve so that the water can drip off).<br />
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Cream the butter, the sugar and the vanilla sugar for about five minutes. Add the eggs, then the food dye and afterwards the butter and the baking powder. Finally add the cocoa powder and the salt and mix well.<br />

<br />
Add the butter milk and whip until you get a soft batter. Pour it into a greased spring-form pan and bake for about 75 to 90 minutes. Take out the cake and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then separate the cake from the pan and let it cool completely for about two hours. <br />

For the frosting melt the chocolate coating in a pot over boiling water. Allow it to cool a bit. Batter the cream cheese together with the food dye until it is creamy. Stir in the chocolate and put the mixture in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.<br />

Hey folks,<br />
<br />
please apologize my absence during the last week, but first, I've been busy studying for an exam and then I've been busy relaxing in Ljubljana. :) The Slovenian capital is actually the perfect place to do so, as it is not that big that one would feel obliged to go sightseeing all day long but still big enough to have a lovely time for a few days. David and I mostly strolled through the picturesque historic district (which actually reminded me a lot of <a href="http://tulipandlily.blogspot.co.at/2014/01/wonderful-graz.html" target="_blank">Graz</a> - there is even a castle rock too), went shopping a bit and ate tons and tons of delicious food. :)<br />

For a start I would definitely recommend a walk through the city's old town. There are many lovely Jugendstil buildings such as the Cooperative Business Bank building or the famous dragon bridge, in addition the city center is characterized by Jože Plečnik's architecture. If you want to be surrounded by more green, you should definitely check out Tivoli park and walk up to the former Hotel Bellevue, which is now an abandoned (but still appealing) ruin, but must have been glamorous in its glory days. In addition I would suggest to go up the castle hill (either by foot or with the rack railroad). The exhibition about Ljubljana and Slovenia in the castle is not that exciting, but the view from the viewing tower is definitely worth the entrance fee. Furthermore, go down the chapel. If you are lucky, like we were, you will find an artist sitting behind a desk, who writes names and Latin quotes in a beautiful medieval font on bookmarks (against a small voluntary donation). <br />

Ljubljana is a great place for food lovers. There are many lovely and reasonably priced restaurants and cafés in the city center. Our favourite was "<a href="http://centralnapostaja.com/" target="_blank">Centralna Postaja</a>", a cosy bar and restaurant where you can get the best burgers and chicken wings. We actually went there twice because it was so good and even David, who is usually a strict vegetarian, couldn't resist ordering the chicken wings. If you rather want some healthy stuff, you should check out "Stadra" in Gosposka ulice. It's a very small and earthy kind of restaurant, but the food is good (many vegetarian options as well), there are many students from the university nearby which can help you if you have language problems ordering and the owner is a very polite and nice person.<br />
If you like cake you should definitely stop at "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/LolitaKavalGroup" target="_blank">Lolita</a>", an incredibly sweet café with a huge selection of cakes and other sweet treats. I tried the chocolate cake with orange and anis as well as the hazelnut-chocolate cake and both were delicious. Other nice coffee places are "<a href="http://www.visitljubljana.com/en/activities/entertainment/63223/poidetail.html?encodedParam=desc-poi" target="_blank">Pritličje</a>" at Mestni trg (try the sandwiches!) and "<a href="http://www.visitljubljana.com/en/activities/entertainment/1246/poidetail.html" target="_blank">Kavarna SEM</a>" near the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum. <br />

<br />
<b>Where to shop</b><br />
<br />
Although Ljubljana is rather small it offers a range of lovely small stores, which should fulfill your wishes if you're in shopping mood.<br />
If you like vintage clothes you should go to Divas Vintage Galerija. It's an elegant vintage store, where you can also get designer clothes and many beautiful hats. If you want to check it out first, there's an <a href="https://www.divaspreloved.com/womens-preloved/clothes/dresses" target="_blank">online shop</a> as well.<br />
If you are a paper and design lover, you should definitely visit "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BabushkaB" target="_blank">babushka Boutique</a>" (they also have a blog <a href="http://blog.babushkaboutique.com/" target="_blank">here</a>). It's a beautiful little gift shop where can get all kinds of lovely paper goods, small gifts, tableware, some handmade jewellery etc. In the city center there's a similar shop called "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/smileconceptstore" target="_blank">SMILE concept store</a>", which is very lovely as well, but in my opinion slightly less lovely than "babushka". ;)<br />
If you are into humanities and social studies, you should go to <a href="http://zalozba.zrc-sazu.si/en/strani/azil-bookstore-0#v" target="_blank">Azil Knjigarna</a> (on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/knjigarna" target="_blank">here</a>) on Novi trg. It's a very nice bookshop with a broad collection of art, politics, philosophy books etc. as well as a good collection of graphic novels. Many of the books are in English too. In addition there is a café right next to it, if you want to read the books you've just bought immediately. <br />
One last shopping tip, in case you like thrift shopping, would be "<a href="http://www.centerponovneuporabe.si/centri-ponovne-uporabe/cpu-ljubljana" target="_blank">CPU Ljubljana<span id="goog_1684746484"></span><span id="goog_1684746485"></span></a>". The store is a bit outside the city center, but it's worth the walk. You can get almost everything there (clothes, accessories, furniture, decoration, crafting supplies etc.) and that for very reasonable prices... :)<br />

Since then it has left and come again but I definitely took the chance to spend some time in the white wonderland. Last week for example David and I took a small walk through Vienna's university campus before we stopped for sweet and salty pies in the lovely <a href="http://thepiefactory.at/" target="_blank">pie factory</a>. If you are in or come to Vienna you should definitely give it a try - the pies are delicious! <br />
