Lavender Regan

On a cool evening last November I walked down to the beach near my apartment to get some air and clear my mind. I had the beach to myself except for some curious geese. The air was still crisp and wet after the slush we'd gotten that morning. I sat there all bundled up for an hour, photographing and sketching the landscape as the sun set over the mountains. There really is no place like home :)

Hoorige Mass 2013

So, Hoorige Mass Volume 2 :) Last year we went as Frog Princesses (see Fasnacht) und this year we are...Palm Trees? Yes, I know. I was hoping for Miss Piggy, but hey, Tropicali Heat beat me out ;) I know there is a saying, "Oh she is so hot, she would look good in a potato sack." Let me tell you, styling an ACTUAL potato sack is no walk in the park. But I think my ladies did a pretty good job.

Delicious dish

I received a creamy treat from my friend's Mama: homemade Bailey's plus the secret recipe!! After the first taste, I was ready to cancel all my plans and pour a large glass over ice, but I took a shot in my coffee instead. And went back for another cup of coffee before leaving the house..;)

My favorite Swiss dish is fondue. Fondue is typically served during winter, but since it was a cold spring day, we decided to indulge anyway. It's basically a blend of four cheeses, white wine and kirschwasser. Like most simple pleasures, the taste is rich and divine. We ate it with sliced apples, oranges, grapes, figs and a couple different types of bread. I learned its best to accompany the meal with sips on kirschwasser, cool glasses of white wine and fantastic company.

We frequented Les Caboulis, a beautiful bar overlooking the Veysonnaz Valley. Our favorite table is built up on the ledge above the bar that you can ski right up to. One goes down, orders a round for the group and the drinks are sent up to you in a special little gondola. It was perfect!
