summer solstice

The longest day :

summer is here

though you would not have said that the last few days when

torrential rains came down and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

But this afternoon : there he was

and the garden looked happy and green

( It is so funny when you realize that on the opposite side of the globe

it it the shortest day !

I saw that at T's place : cold days and mushrooms

and it's getting dark around four in the afternoon ! )

We ate a warm and colourful dinner :
a recipe I learned a long time ago from a friend's brother
who was an air steward and brought it home from Persia.

First a lot of crying cutting unions ...

... in the pan with minced meat (or a vegatarian replacement for that)

a full tea spoon of spicy curry powder and tomato purée and some water

let it stew for ten minutes

then add chunky pieces of apple and five minutes after that

add the sliced banana :

a delicious meal with lots of  sun  in it !

I think I take a little blogbreak

doing some other necessary things for a while ...

see you later
