Quiero! op Lowlands 2012

Last weekend (17, 18 + 19 August) I was on a big three-day festival in the Netherlands; Lowlands. I wasn't there as a normal visitor, but I was there with a market stall on the so-called Etsy Bazaar to sell Quiero! jewelry (my brand) & to put some nice neon & glitter festival make-up on the party people! I shared the stall with Nicole Sies from Studio BIG. She makes beautiful felt phonecovers, and especially for Lowlands she also made some little bags and some bracelets and necklaces.

Nicole & I had met only a few times before Lowlands, so I found it quite exciting, but all went well. We got along very well, and also we helped out each other's customers. I am very thankful that I could do this together with Nicole!

It was very hot during Lowlands festival, especially on Saturday & Sunday (30+ degrees Celcius). Everyone was looking for some shadow. Underneath our Etsy 'tent' there was shadow and also the wind could blow through it (íf it blew), so according to a lot of visitors we were lucky to be underneath the tent (and they joined us).

This is an old post from my previous blog, but I think it fits right in :) I wrote this post in January of this year.

Since three years my boyfriend and I have the tradition to not give each other presents for x-mas, instead we go to a good (read: Michelin-starred) restaurant together. We've been to Ivy and Parkheuvel. Last Saturday we went to Fred. 

Fred's interior. This was exactly the view we had! :-)

We had three beautiful courses. 

Starters:

- Creamy minced veal with gherkins and capers, a crispy sesame wafer, homemade pickles and langoustines lightly braised in olive oil served with basil & lime mayonnaise.

- Thin sliced Irish oxtail steak marinated in a dressing of vintage balsamic vinegar with homemade filet americain, crispy bacon parmesan cheese and horseradish.

Mains:

- Roasted sea bass with fried langoustine served with curry risotto and a langoustine crème

- Gently fried halibut served with a tartar of smoked Ijsselmeer Eel, beure blanc and beetroot

Desserts: I forgot!

One was a merengue with raspberries, poached rhubarb and a sorbet of yoghurt en lime. 

All was delicious!!
