This posting definitely includes some product placement.
Popped in to Palma's beautiful old town
and did some window shopping.
Well, did some shopping, too.
KANELBULLAR! Cinnamon buns. From a Swedish bakery. Tasty.
FIKA FARINA
And the boy behind the counter was Swedish, so we spoke Swedish.
Next time have to get the belle de Carlos ... whatever that might be.
Alldeles vid Plaça Mayor på Calle Sindicato 2 ligger det nyöppnade
bageriet Fika Farina.Här hittar du surdegsbröd, rågbröd, kanelbullar,
småkakor och liknande svenska produkter.
Okay, now we know where to get BLACK PRINT in Palma.
If we do not carry it from the duty free shoot at FRA airport.
Pretty cool interior decoration shop but the name ...
welcome to my slimy home ... oh no!
Finnisch für Anfänger:
LIMA = Schleim / slime
Spanish for beginners:
LIMA = Limette, Feile / limette
Another home decorator just on the other side of the street.
And both shops just a few meter from Zara Home.
After praising all those gins from Finland it is time to taste
the price winning Majorcan gin: GIN EVA.
GIN EVA ist ein handwerklich gemachter Dry Gin aus Mallorca.
Seinen Duft und sein Aroma verleihen ihm klassische Gin-Botanicals
wie Koriander und Engelwurz, mallorquinischer Wacholder aus den
Dünen von Es Trenc, einheimische Zitrusfrüchte und Kräuter.
This (German owned) shop Can Gourmet is selling all possible
Majorcan products, and you can order everything to your home.
Be fast, make your order until the end of July (minimum 100€)
and the delivery is free!
No I do not get any money for promotion.
Yale, I do buy things because I like the look of them.
Like this olive oil in Carrefour supermarket.
Let's hope that the taste is okay.
Check their cool production video:
Finally I got the Finnish chairs!
Well, have been checking them already quite a few years,
the company is coming to Frankfurt Tendence fair since many years.
Had been clever to buy the chairs a bit earlier,
now the price has gone up pretty much.
But, the local shop has to profit as well - support your local tradesmen!
Was also lucky to have a 13 years old assistant to assemble the chairs.
And remembered how friends told how important it is to
read the instructions carefully.
The main idea is: there is only wood and rope, no screws.
We managed the work with one go!
And now we are happy Eco Furn chair owners.
Shop until you drop.
Drop into the garden.
The wild fennel.
Foeniculum vulgare var vulgare
Bitterfenchel in der Küche
Gleich wie der ihm sehr ähnliche Gewürzfenchel bildet er keine essbare,
oberirdische Knolle, doch schätzt man sein frisches, filigranes Laub, das
nach Anis schmeckt, und vor allem seine reifen Früchte, die sich aus den
gelben Doldenblüten entwickeln. Beides wird zum Würzen von Speisen
und Getränken verwendet.
Sein Laub und seine Blüten werden roh über Salate, Gemüsegerichte,
Suppen, Käse und Fisch gestreut. Kochen würde das Aroma zerstören.
Die Früchte des Wilden Fenchels schmecken, wie sein weiterer Namen
„Bitterfenchel“ andeutet, durch ihren hohen Gehalt an Fenchon bitter-süß,
aber auch aromatisch würzig. Sie werden u. a. zum Würzen von Würsten,
Brot und eingelegten Weintrauben verwendet.
