scenes from the weekend

Dinner, soccer, lakes, ice-cream, watermelon and beer.  Pretty much sums up a delicious weekend.  Friday night I ended up cooking a Zuchinni and Ricotta galette from Smitten Kitchen.  Perfect recipe for a hot evening, the only challenge being making the pastry without the butter melting required putting the pastry into the freezer to 'cool-off' every five minutes.  And thanks to all the helpful suggestions you left on Friday I'm now armed with a handful of recipes to keep the kitchen cool through the next week.

On Saturday we rode our bikes out to Wansee (a lake) and had a picnic and cooled off in the water before heading to a beach bar to watch the soccer.  Germany vs Argentina 4-0.  Incredible atmosphere, great game and now it looks as if Germany are favourites to win the Cup!
