Artsy nature

°

Nothing much going on during Corona. Kind of.


Delivery!
New palm tree is being delivered, all good ... tight corners managed
professionally, digging the hole very fast ... WOW.


Professionals remove the pot before the final transport.


And there it stands, the "little" palm tree. Our pool palm.


So many stones left over from the planthole.
Hm, such a pity it is not marble or sandstone,
had been prefect for some artistic trials.




Well, the nature offers loads of material for some photo trials.
Check this praying grasshopper, mantis (lat.), which greeted us on the windshield.
It actually was blown away only when we turned to the main road.


Oderazzi is getting quite desperate as not learning proper Spanish.
And then, instead of doing some proper home work
she decorates a boring pole in the garden with Spanish verbs.
Proper? Lazy, indeed.


Check this: home made vegetarian pea soup (with mint) and kanelbulla!
Thanks to Portals Nous.


And check this "mano di Buddha" lemon.
Yes, a very special type of lemon, am lucky to see the 
first fruit develop this year. Takes months. 
Sorry, have to post every now and then.

"Die Zitronatzitrone Buddhas Hand 
(Citrus medica ‘Digitata’ oder Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis) ist eine 
Variante der Zitronatzitrone (Citrus medica) mit auffällig geformten Früchten, 
die an die Finger einer Hand erinnern. Gartenhistoriker vermuten, dass alle 
ursprünglichen Zitrusfrüchte aus Assam vom Fuße des Himalayas stammen."



Another novelty in the garden:Saffron!!!
Our friend gave us some bulbs, I planted them a month ago 
and finally at least two plants are coming up.


kuvakaappaus Wikipedia

Crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron crocus, or autumn crocus, 
is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the iris family Iridaceae. 
It is best known for producing the spice saffron from the filaments that grow
 inside the flower. (Wikipedia)

Finnisch für Anfänger:

SAHRAMI = Safran / saffron



Our Porto Cristo friends are becoming mushroom specialists.
So I delivered them a full collection from Dar Ahlam.
Some small, some big, some eatable, some poisonous.



As revenge my hubby got to taste home made llampuga disches.
He loved it. 
And I was totally happy with my cheese and chicken combo.
Remember my posting of 13. October? Llampuga!


Seen in a shop window. Winter is coming, also to Mallorca.
Such a cosy chair.

Corona times with makaroonilaatikko and Llampuga

°

Boring? Corona?

Make the best of it.


The boring morning view where the horizon is gone.


In Cala Ratjada the best tables free.


Normally, without corona, there would be a BIG party:
LLAMPUGA!


Well, it was raining sooooo hard, nobody was doing the Rute de la Llampuga.

Die Gemeine Goldmakrele, auch Große Goldmakrele (Coryphaena hippurus ist ein Fisch 
aus der Familie der Goldmakrelen(Coryphaenidae) und gehört zur Ordnung der Stachelmakrelenverwandten (Carangiformes). Im Englischen werden sie als
 „Dolphinfish“ bezeichnet, wobei keine Verwandtschaft mit Delfinen besteht, und in Teilen 
des Pazifiks als Mahi Mahi. (Wikipedia)



I really wanted to see this amazing fish.
Due to corona: no fiesta.


This was the thing I got to see: Llapuga with spaghetti.


In this CORONA restaurant in the port of Cala Ratjada!
BTW the pizza was really good.
 

Cala Ratjada, the rainy harbour.


After the rain comer the makaroonilaatikko.
Finnish food! From Palma.


Many like it with ketchup.


And the local neighbours made some buñolas!


Additionally apple crunch ... I tell you, we did have enough to eat!


And the girls were happy!
Sweet stuff and local liquer in between homework.


Finnisch für Anfänger:

LIMA = Schleim / slime 

Well, as you can see in the pic, lime is a citrus plant.
Let's see if the caipirinha season can be started next year
with our limes!


Check the pomegranate.
The biggest one this year.
The question is: what should I do with it?
Friend's recommendation was to use the juice for caipirinha!


To get an idea of the size.
