Globus ♡

This is one of the things I miss about living in Switerzland – although I am not too blame in Paris I have to say – hanging at Globus and looking at those pretty packagings. Here is their new organic line of products.

Une des choses qui me manque en Suisse – même si je suis loin d’être à plaindre à ce niveau à Paris je l’avoue – c’est de flâner dans le grand magasin Globus et de reluquer les jolis packagings. Quelques images de leur nouvelle ligne de produits bio.

Egg and its nest

This is a very simple recipe of a salad which looks like an egg was just dropped in its nest.
Please tell me if I made mistakes about the name of the seeds in English, thanks!

The Ingredients (for 2)
– 1 tbs marrow pumpkin seeds
– 1 tbs flax seeds
– 1 tbs sunflower seeds
– 1 bunch of alfalfa (luzerne) sprouts
– a mix of youngs salad herbs (spinach, rucola, mesclun, lamb’s lettuce…)
– 1 box of bacon cubes
– 2 eggs
– 1 avocado

The Recipe

In a salad bowl, mix the salad, the seeds, the sprouts, avocado cut in cubes.
Bake the bacon in a pan and add them.
Dress as you like, olive oil and balsamic, etc.
Bake the eggs “soft-boil” or poached, for about 4-5 minutes. Rince them in cold water and take off their shell.
Serve the salad into soup plates with the egg on top.

“Non au junk design”

Monoprix is launching a new line of low-cost products (2000), standing out by a new colorful design conceived by Havas City.
The packagings have a touch of humour with puns and color codes (hard to translate in English though) : the butter was “tasted and approved by the Little Red Riding Hood“, …
What do you think about it? Tell us by replying to the survey on top of the blog!

Monoprix lance sa nouvelle gamme de (2000) produits abordables, au design coloré, conçu par l’agence Havas City.
Les packagings jouent sur les mots et les codes couleurs : “les anglais boivent la tasse au ptit déj”, le beurre doux “goûté et approuvé par le petit chaperon rouge”, “petit fromage ne deviendra jamais grand”…
