mole west.

Hello there! :) I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend..? Well, as for me, I must say that I've had a splendid one. On Saturday, my boyfriend and I spontaneously decided to take a short trip to Burgenland, wich is the easternmost state of Austria and well known for its lake Neusiedlersee. 

This weekend, Mike and I decided to see a part of it that we've never seen before so we followed my parents' advice and went to a really nice restaurant called "Mole West" which is situated right on the Neusiedlersee.

Luckily, we immediately found ourselves a seat and relaxed in our comfy chairs while waiting for our delicious meals.

As an amuse-gueule we got some bread and different varieties of spread, butter and oil.

Mike ordered ramson soup and fish (on sticks!) while I indulged in some ramson tagliatelle with goatcheese! It was yummy!

Even though the weather could've been a little nicer that day, I still really enjoyed the grey-ish looking sky and lake which definitely had a spooky aura about themselves.

And since you simply can't not stop by the artifically built shopping town Parndorf when you're in Burgenland, we took a short spin there too.

After taking that "little spin" aka buying hundreds of things we don't even need, we still didn't quite want to go home, so we decided to pick up a few bottles of wine from a vitner in town for Mike's dad.

We even got to taste some of the chosen wines and there were so delicious that we simply had to take at least one more bottle home with us! :)

grand tradition.

Hey guys! :) Last Tuesday my sister invited me to have lunch with her at her place. I absolutely adore C&C's apartment, as it is very stylish, hip and even has a little roof terrace that overlooks the neighborhood.

Conny made us some yummy strudels that were downright delicious! 

After lunch we went to take a look at the baby's room, that has been decorated with brand new items and furniture.

This baby is going to have such a cool room, I really gotta say! And of course aunt Vicky is going to provide Baby Girl Russ with many, many new plushy friends (besides those cuties in the pictures above)! :)

Afterwards I took a quick look at their balcony on the other side of the aparment, that is - as well as all the other parts of their home - absolutely adorable.

There simply were too many nice deco elements for me to capture ..

In the late afternoon we made ourselves some caramel macchiatos, lay down on the couch and started our traditional FRIENDS marathon!

We continued where we had left off the last time, which was a few weeks ago when Conny came to visit us on the countryside. Since we didn't quite finish all the episodes from season 8 on Tuesday, we'll HAVE to meet again next week to watch the final episodes (the birth of Rachel's baby Emma) before the actual baby comes! 'Cause- if not now, then when, I figure. :)
