 Trouvé en Allemagne, ce mini distributeur d'épices avec poivre, sel, paprika et curry, large comme un euro et haut de 3 cm. Pratique pour rehausser le goût du bento ou des plats commandés. En vente dans les magasins Butler's. Un bento asiatque avec des nouilles sautées aux oignons verts, tofu amandes-noisettes et oeuf, des carottes en pickle et une figue. Un bento pizza avec des restes de pizza maison végétarienne aux aubergines grillées, des carottes râpées à l'Indienne, figue et yaourt pas maison marbré myrtilles/vanille. Pas facile de faire des photos potables le soir ou le matin avant le lever du soleil, mais ça peut vous donner une idée.

I always like to try true-and-tested- favourite recipes from friends, so when the hunger for pizza struck yesterday night, I felt compelled to give the pizza seen on Lisa's blog a try. I was intrigued by the fact that the mozzarella goes under the tomato, but that way some of it remains soft and not all browned and crunchy. My only worry is about the oven, it's wrongly tuned so that instead of setting it on fan heat, I set it on bottom heat and the base was crunchy ("like knackbrot" was the pleasant comment from my co-eater...). Well it was nonetheless delicious and very easy. I used two small cans of tomato, one of dice and one of whole plum tomatoes, drained of juice (which made brilliant soup along with some squash, for my lunch). The recipe is here , and for those of you who haven't yet had the pleasure to read Lisa's blog, you're in for a treat!
