| A good breakfast with fresh orange juice, figs, french toast (!) and coffee! |
When I tell people that my blog is called Food in the Streets, people usually think that I write about street food. It is true that there is an match in the words but actually street food is not a topic that is mentioned a lot. Food in the Streets is about the relation between people, food and cities and therefore talks about many different subjects. It allow myself to write about it as long as they are related to the above named themes. See this weeks' blog for an example.
Off course
we all hope that autumn leaves us alone for a while. However, we can’t ignore
some of its first signs: days are getting shorter, nights are cooler and some
trees already started to change their leaves into the typical autumns colors. Therefore it is now
the time to enjoy the last rays of warm sun. Three suggestions follow here.
Wake up
early and take a breakfast on your balcony (or a caffé’s terrace) before you start
a day in the office. The sun now rises halfway the city’s skyline at the moment
the average office worker is having his first cup of coffee. Enjoy the combination of a fresh
morning, the rising sun and a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee. Your day at office can’t go
wrong anymore.
Something
what tastes good all year round is even better when the sun makes you feel like
it’s springs. Even though the atmosphere is different – it is more humid, and
temperatures are usually higher – the September sun can make you feel like you are in this season. Enjoy it when you can because this feeling might not come back for the coming months. And
when you are doing this, you should treat yourself with a delicious ice-cream. Why not flirting with both seasons and
combine fresh peach flavor with the more heavy cinnamon one?
If you are
as lucky that even during the weekend the sun is with you, than profit from it.
For the last time this year you should gather your picnic set and head of to a
nice park. Don’t forget to fill up your basket with all the fresh fruit and
veggies this season has to offer: plums, melons, newly harvested apples, salads
and the last tomatoes. The combination of the colors is definitely going to
make you feel like you’re in a summer party. Invite your friends and have fun!
For me this
weekend is about to be a combination of all the suggestions. There’s definitely going
to be a good breakfast, but on my dining table, with the windows open, bringing
in the fresh air. For one of the afternoons a bike ride to this gelateria is planned. They have the
craziest flavors and I want to try some of them. The picnic is probably
going to be a barbecue. Nothing wrong with that either, ain’t it?
