A very simple bread with a light yet tasty filling (also suitable for vegans ^_–). You’ll need the following:

25 g yeast (fresh), 2,5 dl water, 6,5 dl wheat flour, 1 dl sun dried tomatoes, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 0,5 tsp salt and 1,5 tblsp olive oil. Olive oil and sesame seeds for garnishing.

Crumble the yeast into a bowl, add lukewarm water, mix the yeast and water and then add the flour. Knead the dough into a firm ball and let it rise until the dough has nearly doubled in size (30-40 minutes).

While you wait for the dough to rise make the filling. Chop about a deciliter of sun dried tomatoes and add the pressed garlic. Add salt and the olive oil and mix the filling well.

When the dough has risen cut it into two parts. Roll out each half into a square and divide the filling equally between the halves. Triple fold each half and cut the dough into triangular shapes and place onto a baking tin.

Heat your oven to 225°C. Let the pockets rise for about 20 minutes while the oven warms up. Before you put the pockets into the oven brush them with olive oil and garnish the pockets with sesame seeds. After 20-25 minutes in the oven your garlic and sun dried tomato pockets are done, enjoy!

Fresh garlic and sun dried tomato pockets, yum!

It’s one hour and 30 minutes into the movie and I’m just about ready to have a nervous fit and gauge my eyes out. Not because the movie sucks (Edit: Actually the second half sucked balls.), but because it’s only halfway through. Yes, you heard me, I’m talking about Avatar! Oh God, end you stupid movie, END. I might leave it on play while I go to the kitchen and bake some yummies, then I can say I have seen it (while technically only hearing the second half, and not paying proper attention to it anyway) without the actual visual and physical torture of sitting here for another one and a half hours.

Did some well-needed grocery shopping today, which I by all common standards of keeping-the-contents-of-your-fridge-at-a-more-edible-status should have done yesterday (or even Saturday) already. But you know, sometimes it’s just too much of an effort hauling your ass out of the apartment. I did buy a pair of shoes yesterday though, some lovely vintage Marc Jacobs boots for only $60.

Talking about shoes, today I also paid a visit to the local shoemaker/cobbler. Finally getting the zipper fixed on my winter boots and also getting more durable soles for the Jimmy Choo shoes I got a while ago. Ah, shoes ♥

So as I was cramming kanji into my brain I suddenly heard this song get played on TV (yes, I concentrate better with some background music sometimes). I did some research about the artist and apparently Owl City is a synthpop project by the American guy called Adam Young. I listened to some of his other songs, and while some felt way too corny (as far as lyrics go) I still like his overall style. Check out his website, where you can listen to his music, read more about the artist, and whatnot, or just watch the Youtube clip below featuring Owl City’s music video to the song “Fireflies”.

I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly.
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep,
because my dreams are bursting at the seams.
