Around Central Switzerland

We have been on a mission to check out places in Central Switzerland. We visited a couple of small towns/villages around Luzern. Here are a couple of pictures how they look like.

It's still cherry time

A couple of weeks ago we picked up some cherries in Zug. Afterwards we went on a holiday and was busy with daily life but I was longing for some more cherries. During the weekend we went to the same farm to see whether the season is still on. And it was on! Best cherries ever...

The seller told us though that that's the last weekend they are selling because the cherry season is over in a day or two. Until next year then!

Treat of the day

Treat of the season to be precise. Since tomatoes are in and they actually have taste, we got into the habit of making some kind of gazpacho almost daily. Some kind of gazpacho because I omit the bread and not measuring the ingredients to achieve the real Spanish taste.
After blending the ingredients it is poured into small jars and can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

The recipe is simple: 5 tomatoes (I cut them into chunks), a quarter of green bell pepper, a half of a small onion, some cucumber peeled, salt, pepper and some olive oil. Blend everything together using a mixer. You can use less/more tomatoes, cucumbers or anything. Add them slowly and work out the taste you like the most. We usually like having a more tomato flavor with less olive oil.
