Madrid – Our Personalities Makes us Millionaires

Published by

Once upon a time, there were … Wait… It wasn`t once upon a time, it was a month ago! But it definitely was a trip to remember, so one day 50 years later I can write once upon a time. (Of course I have no idea what I will write by that time, but today I know what to share with all of you).     Madrid – how did it all happen? Since my best friend, Kadi, moved to Madrid a couple of months ago, I promised to visit her. Plus, with all the fantastic stories Diego (Who doesn’t know the awesome Diego?!) has told us about this city, it was about time to go explore what Madrid, Spain has to offer. 😉   On a Sunday night after the Charity Ball, where we had a great time and loads of champagne, we were off to Madrid. Since the weather was bad and rainy in Geneva during our journey, it was just what we needed: D-Vitamin! 😉 We took our Swiss Flight (Once again, …

Cocktail from DEE – Plum & Vanilla Ice Tea‏

Published by

MsB is more than happy that Dee send her Cocktail recipe for us! As it is Plum season, then why not to use seasonal ingredients.   The cocktail is a twist on ice tea. It’s made from poaching plums with some sugar, lemon, vanilla and star anise. Once poached the fruit is muddled with some green tea and strained. Then mixed with gin, a few lemon wedges and lots of ice. About Dee: I’m a chef who trained in the world famous Ballymaloe Cookery School. Right now I’m exploring & learning my way through the culinary world and documenting it all on my blog as well as my life in West Cork,Ireland with my husband and a small collection of animals 🙂 Thank you Dee. ( More about Dee http://agirlcalleddee.wordpress.com/) If you like cocktails and would like to share it with others as, then feel free to send your photo ( You can just send photo of your cocktail or photo where are you with cocktail) And add some information what we need for this cocktail …

This Summer Cocktail- Aperol Spritz with Champagne or Proseco!

Published by

Ohh, Summer is over.. Actually it never arrived in Switzerland, so let it be! But one thing is sure- I found my favorite cocktail this year- let me share it with you!   Aperol is an Italian aperitif similar to Campari but sweeter in taste. It has a relatively low alcohol content (11%) so perfect for  warm summer afternoons. Best of all, it’s super easy. Here’s how its done…  3 parts prosecco 2 parts Aperol (see Tips for where to buy) 1 part soda water Slice of orange METHOD Pour over ice and top with a slice of orange I  like to serve in a large bowl-style wine glass). Enjoy! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER COCKTAIL THIS YEAR? 😉

7 Tricks for Pulling Off the Perfect Housewarming Party

Published by

Hi Everyone, How are you doing? Did you just move to Geneva and got your first apartment and now it is time to celebrate your new home? Or did you just bought a new house or apartment for yourself? – But that`s definitely needs some “Perfect Housewarming Party” Let me give you some great tricks.. 1.  Keep your guest list to a minimum. The secret here is simple: Don’t invite everyone you know. Since your goal is to show off your new space, over-inviting will only make things crowded and uncomfortable for everyone involved. Stick to a few close friends and politely break it to your barista, dentist and chatty cube-mate that they will not, in fact, be receiving an invitation. 2.  Highlight your favorite rooms. Set up appetizers and drinks in the rooms you’re most excited for guests to see. Love your new granite countertops? Then set up shop in the kitchen. Can’t wait to get rid of those awful blinds in the bedroom? Just steer guests clear of your sleeping space. 3.  Keep …
