Muškat (or Malvazija, we are not entirely sure) grapes growing on the terrace, just outside the kitchen. And although the grape season is coming to an end, the grapes will shine still, in a slightly different form: Istrian wine. And Istrian wine, in my humble, wine-lover’s opinion, is awesome. . . . . #grapes #muškat #malvazija #endofsummer #eattheseasons #istria #terrace #morning #rain #bolara60 #croatia #wine #winelover #istrianwine #delicious #ワイン #クロアチア #朝 #雨 #自然 #nature

Breakfast special: sourdough toast, fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden, olive oil from the neighbours. So good! The simplest foods are usually best, don’t you agree? . . . . #tomato #bruschetta #toast #sourdough #basil #oliveoil #gardenfresh #gardentotable #freshlypicked #breakfast #breakfasttable #morning #delicious #food #foodphotography #breakfastclub #bolara60 #istria #croatia #朝ごはん #パン #トマト #料理 #クロアチア

Anna’s famous sourdough. There are two sourdough starters living in the fridge, rye and wheat one, and they have to be fed every now and then, coz they get hungry. They won’t grow much in the fridge though, as the cool temperature discourages growth, but once taken out - they truly go for it. And that happens on the Bread Making Day. But it’s a whole other story! . . . . #sourdough #bread #homemade #homebaked #delicious #rye #bakery #wheat #rustic #breakfast #morning #food #foodphotography #パン #手作り #料理 #田舎 #countryside #istria #croatia #bolara60

And here’s our pre-lunch special: bilberry buns aka jagodzianki. Recipe on the blog, if you want to try making them yourself. They are awesome! . . . . #bilberry #buns #baking #lunch #wildberries #blueberry #homebaking #berries #crumble #delicious #food #foodphotography #polishfood #istria #croatia #手作り #料理 #パン #デザート #ランチ #jagodzianki

Here’s what happened today: pierogi with bilberries for lunch. Anna and Matt, our hosts @bolara60, bought some bilberries at the market in Buje recently. I can’t possibly convey in words, how touched I was by this gesture. I promised Anna that I’ll make sure to turn them into something delicious. So here they are, Polish pierogi with bilberries, in Istria. It’s becoming a trends, it seems, that I am making pierogi in every country I stay in for longer than a few days! 🙈 Anyway, thanks again guys for this wonderful gift! Hope you enjoyed the bilberry lunch! . . . . #pierogi #lunch #bilberry #berries #blueberry #dumplings #polishfood #homemade #happy #lifeisgood #eattheseasons #endofsummer #wildberries #delicious #food #foodphotography #istria #croatia #travel #ontheroad

Plum and frangipne tart, second attempt. I knew it’ll be better than the first! The thing with baking in a new place, is that, well, everything is different. The flour is different, the flavour of butter, the fruit, even the oven you have to familiarise yourself with. My oven back in the UK was ancient: I had to guess the temperature (the numbers, once probably there, faded and disappeared over the years), there was no light inside (stopped working and we were never bothered to fix it), and there was no fan. Baking was a true adventure, a guessing game. The transition to a modern oven, in fully working order as well, meant a venture into the unknown. First cake baking ended up in tears, second, well, judge for yourself. @zubrekscorner seemed to enjoyed them both, though! . . . . #plumtart #tart #cake #baking #homebaking #homemade #pastry #desserts #frangipane #plums #fruittart #endofsummer #eattheseasons #countryside #istria #croatia #bolara60 #homegrown #ケーキ #デザート #梅 #田舎

Cisza Nocna from Browar Jabłonowo, Poland 🇵🇱. My first half of the day was fairly uneventful, apart from slicing my finger open, which I may have made slightly too big a deal of 😂. After my miraculous recovery, it was time to help the neighbours with their grape harvest. Not too bad a job, but as they have had a pretty good year, it meant each plant had a surprising amount of grapes to pick! Once again, it's time to fit in a beer in my spare 30 mins 😁. A Dark Lager at 6.3%. Fairly sweet so you don't notice the strength too much. Notes of fruit cake and also pretty malty. A bit too sweet to call it easy drinking though. 6/10. #ciszanocna #browarjabłonowo #polishbeer #poland #polish #beer #craftbeer #beerlover #beerphoto #craftbeerlover #beertime #beerblog #beertasting #beerphotography #beerrating #beerenthusiast #beerreview #beerappreciation #beersoftheworld #beernerd #beerme

Close up of a Grasshopper. Starting to enjoy the company of most insects around here. There is a constant buzz of bees, wasps and other various flying creatures. Ants marching somewhat aimlessly, but without hesitation, on top of the table under the tree. The occasional shield bug that flies at speed into you as if out of control. But the grasshoppers are always funny to watch with their half bouncing, half flying mode of transport, I was surprised to get this close to one! #grasshopper #insect #animal #closeup #nature #insectphotography #bugs #animalphotography #explore #holiday #bolara60 #roadtrip #istria #istra #groznjan #hrvatska #naturephotography #naturelover #travel #travelphoto #insectphoto

First Light from Devil's Peak Brewing Company, South Africa 🇿🇦. As lunch seemed to be slightly delayed due to the coinciding preparation of ajvar in the kitchen, I took the opportunity to work through one more beer from the seemingly never ending supply I brought with me. A Golden Ale with a 4.5% ABV. Good balance of hops and malts to deliver a fairly standard, but satisfying, beer taste. Some pine notes are also present. Not very exciting but a little bit moreish. 7/10. #firstlight #devilspeakbrewery #southafricanbeer #southafrica #southafrican #beer #craftbeer #ale #goldenale #sessionbeer #beerlover #beerphoto #beerblog #beerphotography #beertime #craftbeerlover #beertasting #beerrating #beerenthusiast #beerappreciation #beerreview #afternoon #chill #drinkbeer

Walking through the streets of Buzet. A couple weekends ago, we went to a local festival one evening in search for the biggest truffle omelette. It was surprisingly tasty 😮 but there was not much else going on that night. We returned the following day to the other part of the event which was happening in the part of town on top of the hill, which is where we saw this beautifully arranged washing line 😂. Maybe it was part of the show! #buzet #istria #istra #croatia #hrvatska #festival #visitbuzet #localfestival #oldtown #underwear #town #houses #building #holiday #roadtrip #travel #travelphoto #croatiaroadtrip #europe #southerneurope #adriatic #wandering

Skrimshander from Hopdaemon Brewery, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. The main cleaning for today is now complete! It may have taken less time if the spiders were not so hyperactive, with webs reappearing faster than the chickens can lay eggs. If it was the other way around we'd be living the dream I guess! Time for a little rest, and what better way to do so than with a cold beer 😎. An IPA at 4.5%. Surprisingly fruity with some spicy notes to tone down the sweetness. Little bit of citrus and a moderately bitter finish. 6.5/10. #skrimshander #hopdaemonbrewery #englishbeer #england #english #beer #craftbeer #ipa #indiapaleale #beerlover #beerphoto #beerblog #craftbeerlover #beerenthusiast #beertime #beerphotography #beertasting #beerrating #beerappreciation #beersoftheworld #beerreview #beernerd #beerme

The unintended walnut harvest. About a week ago we sat down for lunch under the walnut tree as usual. As we were discussing the difference between the healthy looking tree a few metres down the hill and the slightly dry one above us, we noticed some walnuts were ready for picking. Obviously I had little experience of this, so I may have picked a few that weren't quite ready, then stubbornly tried to take off the green husk. Little did I know this stains your hands, and I still have traces on one finger a week later! #walnut #harvest #nut #walnuttree #garden #lunch #lunchtime #walnutharvest #bolara60 #gardentotable #walnuts #nuts #picking #tree #nature #food #foodphotography #localproduce #groznjan #croatia #istria #istra #hrvatska #holiday #travel
