Summerday

what i do during a summer day?

laying on the balcony, drinking fresh drinks like cool water with orange/lemon/lime, reading magazines like instyle and of course - eating (water)melon ! also a little fresh lunch variant is bread with truffle salami and tomato with salt!

have a nice sunny summer day(: generally the summer holidays started today but i already finished school and i´m now working during the whole holidays - already had my vacation (as you can see in elder blogs) ...

cream puff

I tried a new recipeand i want to share it with you because it doesn´t only look delicious - it is!! perfect to impress visitors by a coffee or so: cream puffs with chocolate sprinkles and strawberries as a summer edition.

the recipe works with choux and cream with vanilla sugar. for the choux you need (for 16 peaces):

Preheat the oven to 220 ° (200 ° convection)

1) 60g Butter

2) 250g Milk or Water ( i took milk )

3) 1/2 tl salt 

cook the first 3 ingredients until the butter melts and than take it from the stove.

4) 150g flour

put in flour and than stir on the stove until the dough separates from the pot base and on the pot base is a white layer. 

5) 4 eggs

wait 10-15 min so that the egg does not curdle and than start with one egg and mix it with the dough fully and than take the next. take as much eggs as the dough needs to shine (maybe 3 are enough).

fill the dough into a bag spray or forme it with the spoon and take enough distance between each on your kitchen plate. Than bake it 20-25 min until its golden-brown and than immediately cut the puffs with a sharp knife. 

6) 400g cream

7) 400g strawberries

8) chocolate sprinkles

Leave to cool and then fill with approximately 400g cream and strawberries and top it with the chocolate sprinkles! finish and enjoy :)

summer thunderstorm

after a long period of hot temperatures a summer thunderstorm was a nice way to cool the hot air down and water the nature. 

i love summer rain and the fresh air after that - finally temperatures were you´re not sweeting even when you want to sleep. now i´m gonna enjoy this fresh air with open windows while watching shopping queen (:

have a good midday.

Summer salad and blueberry shake

What to eat when it´s more than 30° C outside? of course a fresh salad - and as an healthier refreshment a blueberry shake - are the topics of today´s lunch for two.

Summersalad ingredients: leaf lettuce, cucumber, tomatos, feta and melon with a yogurt, sour cream, dijon mustard salad dressing refined with juice of the melon and honey

the mix of the sweet melon and the cheese makes it intresting and the melon tast makes it a summer hit.

Quick, delicious, healthy ... perfect summer lunch!

Blueberry Shake: recipe on my blog from 30 May 2013 http://maikefr.blogspot.de/2013/05/blueberry-shake.html

Egypt

little too late but better now than never right? as an explanation: i started my new holiday-job last week with whome i plan to sponsor my worldtrip in 2013/14 and i rearrange the room so i had a lot of things to to and it i hadn´t the time to write much about my trip to egypt. But now i organized everything - i got used to my new job and i really wanna tell you about this amazing experience i had.

for a perfect vacation different factors are important - to me. And one point is the hotel and the room because a loud and drity hotel with bad food and bad hygene isn´t relaxing - and that is why we go in holidays right - at least partially. We enjoyed our stay at http://www.holidaycheck.de/hotel-Reiseinformationen_Jaz+Makadi+Bayview+Hotel+Golf+Resort-hid_186833.html and it was really 5 stars. I usually don´t stay in expensive hotels and we booked this last minute and out of seasons so it was a good price for really much output!! huge room, nice, clean, compforting and large balcony with view to the mountains and palms and the sunset we enjoyed for the half time - than we changed our room and had one with view to the sea and sunrise wich was also really nice. The bathroom was large, modern, clean and with a dressing room and a seperat toilet. to whole room was styled in a modern interiour and was cleaned twice a day and it was always possible to have special wishes. 

 the next important thing is the sea and the poolside - so you can relaxe, have fun, cool down, swim ...

from our hotel was a shuttle bus to the privat beach and it had also a pool with view at the sea and with deckchairs in and around the water. The pool was 25m meters long and every morning i swam 25 tracks and so had my morning sports. The good thing about enjoying both - pool and sea - is that sea is always a little bit stressful because of the saltwater and pool more relaxing - thats why we did 50:50. Til midday we stayed at the pool, mostly, and than go to the beach and in the eveing enjoyed pool by night again and watcht the sunset. The pool-area is also one big point why i would 100% recommend this hotel and go there again.

 the earthy hill on the water are coral reefs and we could snorkel and saw sooo many differnet types of fishes in all colours and sizes. On day we booked a snorkeling tour an which we had the fortune to swim with dolphines and this was a great day and a really nice experience to be one day on a boat and swim in the huge sea and saw all this corals and fishes!

besides sport is not the most important point but also important for me and our hotel had a fitness room with view at the sea and also wellness rooms like a sauna, steam bath, massage room, whirlpool... so practically everything you could need.

The food in our hotel was really fantastic and varied and authentic with delicious local food, antipasti, salad, fruits and many more (i´m getting hungry when i now think of it) and everything was clean, washed and no problems with eating fresh fruits and vegetables - the best thing were mango and fresh datteln!

and at least one point for perfect vacation - besides the perfect service we had ;) - is, of course, security. We felt uncompforting when we started because of the current critical political situation there and it´s hard to assess from germany whats really going on and where but we noticed nothing special and it was all okay with that although it´s kind of pervers on the one hand but on the other tourism is really important for these countries and it wouldn´t help if no one comes...

enough, i´ll stop before you fall asleep after this unusually long post.

i wish you a nice evening and if you wanna know something about this holiday don´t stop asking! kiss*

Vacation

hey readers
i´m back! i was 7 days in egypt at the red sea near hurghada in "makadi" - it´s a region that is save although egypt is in political trubles at the time and when we booked we didn´t know what was happening in egypt and in our holiday (i travelled with my boyfriend) we noted nothing of the political and social struggles because it´s only located in cairo and alexandria... - i had no internet so i couldn´t post my holiday experience promtly but i´m loading all my photos up and choose the best one for you this weekend - promise!
but so far an insight about out hotel and what we experienced:

the beautful sunset we could se from our balcony every evening:

 the relaxing and beautful pool area with view at the red sea was really nice:

 the beach where we started out one day tour on a boat at the sea:

 the boat at the red sea by a coral reef:

selfmade raspberry ice

today i made icecream - without a ice machine! 

it´s really easy and quick recipe - if you want to eat it immediately it´s more like souffle/creamy and if you like it fixed put it into the freezer as long as you want! 

for about 6 portions (large) you need:

500g frozen raspberries
0,5 L milk
200g cream

How to do it:

put the milk for 30-45min into the freezer and than mix the frozen rasperries with the milk and add cream and as much sugar ( if you like ) or maple syrup and finish (: 

You are never fully dressed without a smile

some summer pictures from my summer-shoot - its 2 years ago but i like those photos much (:

  i´m actually not a real model but i tried modelling some times and i liked it much! but with my hights and sizes it´s kind of difficult and i don´t wished it that much that i tried everything.

i think modelling is fun on the one hand but on the other

its a hard buissness and much stress...

and i think everybody has beauty not only because he´s skinny or sth that´s what modelbusiness doesn´t see.

facade

broke my sunglasses and then had the idea to make s.th. new with this seemingly useless piece...
created by easy means showing some critical toughts about our median obsessed society and our responsibility to be always available. so sunglasses are not only to protect from the sun but also to hide and to show your´s 'off' in the same way as when you turn your phone off. in a time with so much new opportunities arise also new responsibility.

fruit salad

fresh, heathy and sooo delicious! there is always a reason for fruit salad! full with vitamines and so tasty and you can vary a lot!

Here: mango apple and kiwi
