IH flannel & H. Moser….

New Indigofera Copeland, in an awesome beige stripe on indigo fabric.

Amazing fabric.

Speaking of new / re-edition models, I like that better:

Pourring Penicillin cocktails in IH black denim shirt yesterday…

Made an entire meal from Ottolenghi’s Shelf Love book testerday.

Fish koftah in ancho sauce

Confit tandori chickpeas

Greens & chermoula pie

Lime & poppy seed slaw with curry leaf oil

Coconut dream cake

Beautiful buns!

I made some country-style pate over the week end.

Made the Ottolenghi's coconut dream cake again, this time as a 2-layer round cake. Just as good as a sheet cake, but looks better.

This is what I had yesterday night. Homemade Vietnamese style banh mi sandwich, with chicken. Was delish!

New warch arrival… This is an Omega De Ville 4533.31. I’ve been looking for a “true”, or traveller’s, dual time watch, and that one was one of my top choices.

Persian Love Cake…

Blancpain 50 Fathoms 70th Anniversary model in 9k "bronze gold" is pretty sweet...

We had lamb yesterday night as well.

Went to a Rolex store in Mexico 2 weeks ago. Was able to try on the Explorer II which I have been lusting over. It's thicker than its measurement would suggest. The sales person told me that it can be had within 1 year in Mexico. Seems faster than in the US.

Made an apricot tart. Easy & delicious….

The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.

If anyone is interested in space, the Apple TV show "For All Mankind" is excellent. It's basically high quality TV drama taking place in the universe of NASA (initially) but in an alternate history where the Russians arrived first on the moon. What is cool is that the writers (who clearly love NASA and the early space exploration history) use this event as a device causing NASA to become a lot more aggressive and risk taking. So this results in more space exploration but also more daring choices in terms of crews, including incorporating female astronauts a lot earlier than in real life. There are key male characters, but also some bad ass female lead roles including a NASA engineer, an astronaut, and an astronaut wife-turned-entrepreneur. I'm loving it.

1955S-SLB, just back from hemming. Super comfy fit.

To lower the risk of low back injuries, I find that hip mobility drills are very useful. I've found the Kinstretch stuff particularly good, but even spending time during the day in a squat position helps.
