when we got back from our quick tour through austria, a special event was already coming up: “almkirchtag” in the museum of tyrolean farms.
almkirchtag is a tyrolean (austrian?) traditional festivity which takes place once a year in an “alm” (which, in this case, means an alpine restaurant rather than a mountain pasture).
in the museum, however, it’s the time when the old buildings are filled with life, and real tyrolean traditions are revived and displayed in this setting: tyrolean music and song, tyrolean delicacies and specialties, handiwork etc.

here’s a panorama from last sunday:

panorama: dress rehearsal with the choir and orchestra

it was taken during the dress rehearsal (the bass was on tacet), a few hours before we performed j. haydn’s theresia mass with the wilten boys’ choir (wiltener sängerknaben) and innstrumenti orchestra.
an ingenious piece of music!

die vierte seite des projekts “vom essen besessen” ist seit kurzem online:

www.fischgericht.at ist ein unterwasser-gerichtssaal
mit rezepten, infos u.v.m. zum thema fisch.

nach nudeln und salat, und essensblog ging am 1. juni unsere fisch-seite online. hier behält das hohe tribunal den überblick, und die rezepte stehen auf schriftrollen. :)
die handgezeichneten comics stammen von der talentierten chiara de cesare.

–
in english:
i present to you our newest online project: www.fischgericht.at is going to be our recipe archive for all things with fish.
the design is a pun on the german word for fish dish. the second part of the word, “gericht” means either “dish” or “court of justice”, depending on context.
all the comics were hand-drawn by my good friend (and extremely talented drawer, even though she’ll say that i’m exaggerating) chiara de cesare.
