One of the pleasures of walking around the neighbourhood is checking out the exotic (and not so exotic) machinery on display. Everything from immaculately-prepared hotrods, through to European rust-buckets.

Local Cars for Local People
Gorgeous slices of Detroit iron are all over the place. I find it funny that although I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about cars, I could not name most of them at a glance. 
'Patina' is what I think it is called. 
Except for the questionable alloys, there are quite a few older European classics as well. Inexplicably, there are Alfa Romeos everywhere; how they have not rusted into a pile of oxides by now I will never know. 
Whether it is the authentic colour or not matters not a jot (if that colour is bright orange, at least). 
There is a line of modified mid-90s luxe-barges over here, but that does not explain why you would want a graffiti mural on your Caddy. 
… and every so often you come across something utterly cute. -
Cooking with Abe
It’s been great to have Abe back in town for a couple of weeks. A great opportunity to hang out, get introduced to some awesome people, and get some kitchen time with Abe … great to have the place up and running for his arrival.
Abe on cauliflower duty 
Cheers! And cheer up! 
Crab cakes from the local butchers … I am slowly falling in love with that place. 
Prepping. 
Crab cakes, seared brussel sprouts, cauliflower leche … plus broccoli and spinach soup, and a wicked cheesecake that are not on view. 
Yay! – a marvellous holiday period with the clan Sitzer.
