Basil pesto!

  • Canang sari is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in praise and prayer. Canang sari will be seen in the Balinese temples (pura), on small shrines in houses, and on the ground or as a part of a larger offering, or by the cash register at the airport 😊 #Bali #CanangSari #Hinduism #Nusantara
  • A modern spin on the traditional Javanese “jamu”: herbal tonic drinks, this one is ginger-turmeric, my favourite. When I’m home in Jakarta, our housekeeper would treat me to a traditional jamu, sold by a woman carrying all the bottled liquid herbs on a weaved basket on her back who’d pass by our house every morning. In Bali, I’ve had to settle for an inferior bottled version. #Adjustments #Rituals #Bali #BestServedFresh #JamuJawa #AllGoodThingsComeToAnEnd
  • All happiness depends on a leisurely Sunday brunch (and writing postcards!): lime juice, fruit salad, cappuccio, corn fritters with sweet tomato relish, poached eggs and avocados. #BerlinFoodie #balifoodies #HappySunday #Nusantara #Vacation #Bali #Holiday
  • Parking ourselves on the shore today #BeachBoy #VitaminSea
  • On Sept 21 2018, the Kingdom of Yasmina moved its secondary city, from Jakarta to Seminyak/Bali. Berlin remains the capital city. #TheMapsOfMe #GriefIsJustLoveWithNowhereToGo #AndThenThereWasOne #ThePrincessIsInAnotherCastle #ThisHouseIsNotAHome
  • A walk with the parental units and promptly assaulted by aggressive mosquitoes.
  • A day of rest before another week of mad island and city hopping. See you soon, my loves! #YeahIStillHaveThisPeskyFlu
