The one with cheese and filo pastry

Last sunday I was craving for a little something to snack on. Preferably not too healthy, and easy to make. Oh, and something that didn't require a trip to the supermarket. As a cheese aficionado, I always have cheese in the fridge. I had some filo dough as well and thought these two might be a match made in heaven.

What you'll need:

• 5 sheets of filo pastry
• 10 chunks of cheese
• 50 grams of butter
• ketchup, or something else for dipping purposes

Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Cut the dough in half, and melt the butter slowly in a small pan. Remove the pan from the heat and brush the sheet of dough on both sides with the melted butter. Place a big chunk of cheese on top, and wrap it like it's a present.

Place them on a sheet of baking paper, and bake them on the middle shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

 

I served them with ketchup, but I can imagine they might taste good with a mixture of crème fraîche, chopped up garlic and fresh chives.

The one with more doors

Yesterday I took an early walk. I love it when (most) of the city is still asleep, and I have the city all to myself. Another bonus on early sundaymornings, is that I don't feel like I'm getting stares from people thinking what it is I am doing all by myself, with my camera, photographing things that are not very interesting to most people. Back in january, I did another door post, and I've seen so many good looking doors yesterday, that there might be a part 3. Amongst these are the door of a synagoge and the door of a fancy restaurant. 

I don't know where this fascination with doors comes from. Maybe it's that they are a bit of a mystery. They are the beginning to someone else's world. Who is it that lives behind this door? What does it look like on the inside? Are the people living here happy? Do they know they have a door worth being photographed? Are there any things in particular that you like to photograph? Hope you all have a fabulous week! 

The one with the things I liked this week (60)

Some random photos of this week. I've had the idea of adding some new notebooks to my Etsy shop for a while. I thought it might look cool to make covers out of photo's I've taken and I've experimented with different kinds of paper and machine settings. One of my moms cats offered a bit of help :-)

My friend Mandy brought over a box of very delicious chocolates, thanks sweetie! Other than that, I've started Postcrossing again some time ago. This week I received four cards, from Finland, Germany and the United States. I always feel like it's my birthday when I get home after work, open my mailbox, and find something good in there! The last picture is proof that I sometimes do eat other things than cheese, chocolate and cake. You might have gotten the wrong impression from this blog....

The one with the greens

Last saturday I tagged along with mum to the garden centre. I got some lovely lavender and in two weeks I have a 'gardening date' with a friend, to make the balcony summer proof. It has been looking kind of sad after winter. Sorry for the amount of photo's in this post, it became a bit picture heavy.... 

The one with the things I liked this week (59)

Last weekend started with cheese. One of the first things I got done on saturday was to get cheese. The first photo appeared on my Instagram as well. Some of the cheeses didn't make it there, because the image needed to be made square. The original photo is in my weekly collection of things I liked, because I feel bad for the eliminated cheeses. Don't worry, not all of them were taken home. My weekend also ended with cheese, I made cheese rolls for dinner on sunday. The recipe will probably end up here on the blog next week. 

A while ago I did a little postcard swap with Natasha, and this week I received a lovely Hawaiian card. There were some gorgeous stamps on the back. I wish we had pretty stamps like that over here. 

At my mom's I've found a lovely, very vintage-y map, that is now hanging in my living room. Other things I liked, were found on the streets. I've been taking slightly different routes back home from work and taking small walks before dinner. The longer days are definitely one of the things I like most about spring and summer. How was your week?

The (second) one with the Rijksmuseum

Last week I blogged about our visit to the Rijksmuseum. This second post is all about the architecture, with a cheesy photo added as a bonus. So, without further ado, I present to you: the second one with the Rijksmuseum!
