Processed with VSCOcam with hb2 presetIt is hard not to think of food when thinking about Portland. Before I even knew that I would go and visit Portland I already heard about its food-obsession. Having arrived on the foodie world map a few years ago I was curious to explore every little part of it. I currently live in Hong Kong where local food is rare and molecular cuisine is often favoured over slow cooking organic meals. Yet another reason to be super excited to visit one of the if not even the best destination for food lovers in the Pacific Northwest.

I had arrived in Seattle just a week before to visit friends of mine who recently moved to this wonderful and tasty city (check out 6 Delicious Pastries to Try in Seattle). As Portland is only a short drive away, two of my girlfriends and I decided to head south to Portland and the Oregon wine region for the weekend. Lucky me, I was not the only one looking forward to Portland’s culinary scene. So we decided to get up very early Saturday morning, skip breakfast, do the 2.5 hours drive and start our 24 hours food journey properly…meaning on an empty stomach.

I had heard and read many good things about Portland’s Saturday Market, so we started our food quest with a stroll through the stalls. I was surprised to find so many international food carts but hardly any stalls that offered a local cuisine. As I wasn’t in the mood for falafel wraps or Asian noodles, I queued up at Panini D’Amour for one of their Italian and fresh sandwiches. Paired with a homemade and unsweetened peppermint iced tea, I found Panini D’Amour to be the best breakfast option.  After all, I am a German girl and I love my bread for breakfast.  The panini were freshly made on the spot, mine was filled with mozzarella cheese, tomato and rocket salad. Just enough to sooth the empty belly but I still had some room for the next stop of our food journey. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere of the Portland Saturday Market as the weather was great, people relaxed and friendly and there was good live music.

Months ago I had seen a food show on TV about amazing food places in the US. There was this one shop that sold grilled cheese sandwiches made of doughnuts and there was another shop that offered all kinds of crazy looking doughnuts version. Randomly chatting about food culture in the US during our drive down to Portland I mentioned the show to my friends. Again, lucky me because I then learned that the shop with the crazy doughnuts comes originally from Portland and is called Voodoo Doughnuts. And that my friends had already added it to the list of must-eat places in Portland. Double Yay! At that time I didn’t know what it means to buy a doughnut at Voodoo Doughnuts. We had to queue for more than 50 minutes during a hot and sunny summer day only to buy one doughnut. But by far the best doughnut I ever had. I had the one with Bavarian cream inside and maple syrup glazing outside. Half way through I thought I would never be able to finish this extremely soft and sugar-loaded piece of heaven. At the end I felt like somebody glued up my stomach but it was worth every single bite.

portland3It took me a while to feel not completely stuffed (which is still far away from feeling hungry) and so I had many cold coffees which are known for being really good in Portland as well. After a few hours and tons of walking and sightseeing we walked into Deschutes Brewery. As mentioned before I love all foods and drinks local because I like to try new tastes and flavours. At Deschutes Brewery Portland Public House we ordered the Brewery Pretzel with creamy white cheese and brown mustard as well as the Classic and the Brewer’s Choice sample try. It was a lot of fun going through all 12 beers and the waiter was very helpful in explaining each. The Pretzel alone was too sweet for my taste but fitted perfectly with the bitter beer. In the end, I found one or two beers that I really loved and would always order again. The tasting definitely did its purpose and it is also a great activity to do with friends.

We found this Italian restaurant by chance as it was close to where we were when we got hungry again. Highly rated on Tripadvisor we wanted to give Piazza Italia a try especially since they had outdoor seating and the plates of other guests looked super delicious. Again we had to wait for an hour or even longer but spent the time walking through the Pearl District before we got a phone call that our table was ready. I ordered Spaghetti Vongole, one of my favorite pasta dishes and a glass of house wine. Both exceeded my expectations, most of all because it tasted great and because Piazza Italia still spares hefty price tags like we had seen at other neighbourhood restaurants. For dessert we ordered strawberry Panna cotta which at first looked very chemical and artificial due to its pinkish color. However it had the right sweetness and was accompanied with a touch of natural strawberry taste which made it a perfect ending to an all Italian dinner.

I was surprised that we were all hungry again the next morning. We packed our things, checked out of the hotel and found a parking spot close to Mother’s Bistro & Bar. This restaurant seems to be on every foodie list and among the top 3 breakfast spots in Portland. So no wonder that we had to wait again for around 45 min before we got a table in one of their bright and neatly decorated rooms. While waiting we had already chosen our food which was a combination of what looks good on other people’s plates and what reads delicious on the menu. I liked the concept of Mother’s Bistro & Bar that everything is made from scratch and that they try to use local ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. It almost felt like being back home on a Sunday when my mum makes her special scrambled eggs on toast. I had the tofu hash as I thought that this was a dish that I wouldn’t easily get anywhere else again. The ingredients were fresh and crispy and the combination of tofu, potatoas and veggies was a hit. I only didn’t like that it was made with way too much oil/butter but I guess it doesn’t harm you once in a while.

But at least this give me another reason why I need to come back again.

I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too. Though I’m also enjoying Malmö‘s autumn cold at the moment 💛  #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #appetitejournal #theartofslowliving #eattheworld #cntravelereats #kinfolklife #gatheringslikethese #teamcanon #mycommontablefood
Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea sna Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea snaps, edamame, pesto and basil - the first attempt of many more to come. Have you ever made skillet pizza? It looks super easy but mine collapsed when I tried to put it into the hot cast iron pan. But the taste is still super delicious. No need for a pizza stone 💁🏻‍♀️😄

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spr I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spring weather (37C/ 99F). I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May. Also, I just wanted to let you know that my favorite Lightroom Preset Bundle is 50% off for the next three days (link in profile @blackwhitevivid ). Happy Editing & Happy Sunday 💛

Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another photoshoot in the desert, another favorite set of photos. Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
