Dandelion syrup - the reason i forgot my second last painting-class. 

After reading this recipe, i was hooked. I see a bright yellow dandelion field from all our windows and was determined to try it out. Of course you can't use the flowers from the city, therefore we headed to the countryside. On a not so sunny Sunday. The thing is, that if i try to add something new to my everyday routine (like making this syrup) it's with the cost of sleep. But anyways. This yellow gold is gorgeous, smells great and tastes sweet as honey. 

Now we only need to find the time and energy to make pancakes, so we could actually use this up :)

Being in the countryside made us also realize something about life in the city. We both want to hang out more in the woods and fields, outside with nature. But a one-day-trip is rather a haste through it all. Not being completely relaxed, looking at the clock, to see what time we should be heading back, doesn't make our little boy relaxed either. And when he finally got to like the long grass, it was time to go.

Our friends who tried living in the countryside, gave it up after one summer, because they'd rather miss the country, than live there and miss the city. That is a good point. But i guess, we also don't want to give up a dream without trying. We need to find it out ourselves. 

(The blue topping is made by me, the two others by a friend. Charming, right!)
