I’ve been travelling to Ireland by car for half a decade now, and I still love it. I think it has something to do with being a musician. I’ve always loved being on the road, staying awake for hours driving, stopping at cities you can’t remember the name of and, of course, eating regional food. Two days ago, one of those cities was Tours, in France. I’ve always wanted to stop there, but never actually did because we were to…
It seems like Christmas is definitely coming. After months of anticipation, this is the last week for doing all the shopping. For some years, I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland and England, so I celebrate Spanish/Irish\English Christmas.At home, I was used to celebrate Christmas Eve the night of the 24th, but because of my job, the last 3 years I’ve been singing for charity which has been the greatest way of celebrating. Being able to help other people should be…
I have the tendency to make pork ribs in a particular way. I usually think it’s always the same, but then changes the flavour each time that I marinate it because I change some ingredients on purpose. I can’t even follow my own recipes. This time I had loads of pork ribs, so I decided to let them marinating until I wanted to cook them. I made two different marinades with two different garnishes. The amounts for the ingredients are…
Great news everyone! Today they’re sending me home at last. I’ll have to do some checkups next week, but I’ll be able to keep updating the blog with my own recipes! Last supper was carrot soup and Galician style monkfish (onion, garlic, peas and paprika. Really nice grandma food) My favourite meal these days. I won’t be able to eat the empanadillas (savoury pies) but I think I’ll survive ^_^ I leave you with a selfie of me and my inhaler,…
I’ll have to spend one more night in the hospital. It seems like I got used to the oxygen by now and don’t really want to let it go. I feel like Frozen’s song was written for me and my oxygen device right now.Yesterday’s dinner surprised me. I “ordered” pasta with roasted veggies. Since 2015 I’m the proud owner of a nice pasta machine, so since then I’ve only eaten fresh homemade pasta. I’ve become a little bit reticent when…
It’s fun to start a blog that talks about food and write the first post from the hospital. I must say I’ve always been an optimistic, and looking on the bright side of life has always been what I consider my greatest virtue. I’ve been constantly reading food blogs of people that had some issues with their health and they adopted a better diet in order to recover. In my case I usually eat well whenever I cook and I’ve always…
So… Hey there! I feel kind of awkward writing the first blog post. I guess everybody starts by introducing themselves. Talking about food is one thing, talking about me…not that interesting. Well, my name is SÃlvia. I work as a musician, which luckily is one of my greatest passions. My other major passion is food, although I’m a bit of a “loadsofdifferentpassionsnotimeforeverysingleone” person. If I created a hashtag for that, they’d probably forbid its use for being too long. I’ve…
