After a sun deprived summer, the first days of autumn have been absolutely gorgeous. Sunny, warm, and inviting. We have been spending more time outside now, than all summer cumulated.
I have been going on and on about having a picnic in the park. I mean talking endlessly about it since about 2005. Yes, yes. [...]

I don’t even remember the first time I went to Malte. A long, long time ago, most likely. Seems I know this restaurant since, well, forever. Did it change much? Probably not. Although it must have changed (progressed?) as the restaurant seems as busy as ever.

Simple and delicious. Granted, it took me about 10 years to finally try this cheese combination out, but no regrets.
Apparently a very Belgian (Brussels) snack, the pottekeis is … well, a cheese sandwich. Mixing together fromage blanc and fromage de Bruxelles = pottekeis.

Perfect, home grown pears. The story so far? Neighbouring pear tree. Perfectly ripe pears. Now residing in our fruit bowl. Which kind of means: lots of pears, not a lot of imagination. I love pears, however I realized that overall I am not a big pear user.

Now if I would be between 18 - 25 years old I’d knew exactly where to eat out the week of 17 - 23 September. Alas, I’m not. Nor do I probably look it, so I won’t be benefiting from the jeunes gourmets .
