Treat of the day

It's cherry time in Switzerland! Although the weather is not mediterranean in Switzerland, there are plenty of fruits available during summer and believe me it's worth waiting for them. At the beginning of summer they come from Italy or Spain. Canton Zug is famous of its cherries, cherry liquor and cake. We bought some cherries over the weekend and it was AMAZING. Probably the best I have ever eaten. Ripe, crunchy, sweet.

Food lately

This is how life look like food vise lately.

We put our hands on some very fresh ink fish that we cut into strips and fry it in a pan with olive oil. When it was done we added a mixture of garlic, parsley and olive oil plus some lemon juice.

These are two trouts (forelle in German) baked in the oven with lemon and thyme. The trouts were actually from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald).

A super easy and yummy cherry pie.

Results of the last vote

A couple of weeks ago there was a nationwide voting, which I already mentioned in one of my previous posts. The outcome for the mentioned topic got an overwhelmingly large amount of support.
Other topics included the introduction of a minimum wage of 4000 Chf (around 4400 USD), which is failed to over win the majority. As did the one for purchasing new air force planes for defense. And why would not it? Buying new planes when the country is defended only during office hours? It seems that would not make sense for the Swiss.
