Last night being Walpurgis Eve and the weather sunny and not too cold I meet up with some friends to watch the annual parade from the Technical University. Having lived next to the campus for almost 15 years now it’s just something one does every year if the weather is good. Being a student it is something you do regardless of the weather since the whole Walpurgis Eve (or day) is spent partying.
The floats were, as usual both funny and ironic, and one just has to marvel the technical inventions from the student, a car suddenly splitting in two halves, a suitcase on wheels etc. It is a tech university after all…
Back home again I made my (now almost famous) asparagus risotto. A lot of stirring though when you make it for six people. To drink we had decided on Kimmeridgien Bourgogne. A very crisp and dry wine with lot of mineral tones which went perfect with the creaminess of the risotto and the freshness of the asparagus. A meal to celebrate the arrival of the spring which Walpurgis Eve really is all about.
