Sometimes you write and you feel like you’ll be the only one reading, and that’s a good thing. Other times, you pour your heart out expecting someone to notice your words and feel something about them, but you don’t know if you are doing anything that gets inside their minds. I’ve been having that feeling lately. I know I get to people with all the work that I do, and I appreciate all of you that are there, that read,…
October playlist celebrates Libra spirit and my soon to be birthday. I say goodbye to Virgo season with high hopes about what this month wants to bring me. Here’s the playlist. Remember to tune in before you start reading 🙂 I’ve always been aware that time isn’t as we’re told, I’ve always believed that it isn’t a fixed structure. They told us that an hour passes and that means 60 minutes of our lives. Yet we check the clock every…
Another month, another loss… Here’s the playlist for the last month of this long and weird 2021: Last month I told you about how Tomate left us in a long day process. How he breathed his last breath next to me in my bed. He was a relatively young cat, 10 years old. But what hurt most wasn’t his age, it was that it happened so suddenly.It wasn’t the same with Oliva, I knew she was going to…
Goodbye Tomate, hello November.
What makes a dessert a dessert? I asked myself this question while I was preparing this recipe. When I was a kid, a dessert had to have sugar in it. It usually came at the end of a meal and it was something I enjoyed, but not too much. I’ve always favoured salty flavours while growing up. Unlike most of my peers, I was that “boring” girl that asked for water in birthday parties…
Before you begin reading, please play the October playlist. It makes the experience different, in a good way. 🙂 This September has been charged with the Virgo energy for sure. I’ve been planning and doing too much stuff. Apart from breakfasts, I really didn’t have much time during the first half of the month to cook for myself so I ended up eating whatever was in the fridge, outside or salads in a plastic package. I know packaged salads aren’t…
I have amazing news! A limited amount of copies of our new album is for sale NOW!! Go buy it before i’s too late 🙂 I am so happy that some fortunate souls will get it before everyone else in February! We worked so freaking hard for this one. You are taking a little piece of each of us to your home. I am incredibly grateful and happy. It’s time to celebrate, right? Well, there’s always something to…
I know that celebrating Thanksgiving is a bit of a controversial topic nowadays. I understand the underlying causes of the first celebration, but I also believe that giving thanks is a great excuse to celebrate. So, acknowledging that fact, I decided to incorporate pumpkin as an homage to Native Americans in my apple pie recipe this year. In Spain, Thanksgiving is something we don’t really celebrate. It’s become something known because of…
Good day to you all! This October was a very special one. It was my birthday AND Halloween. I know it happens every year, actually. But finally I could post more than one recipe for Halloween on the blog. Hurray! Like this mashed potatoes with kale: I am a person who’s very into rituals and that sort of stuff. When it comes to Halloween or in my case Samhain, I get all over the place. …
In Galicia we celebrate Samaín because we are Celts. That’s why I wanted to post a traditional Galician recipe we make for Halloween: Calacús (also known in Spanish as Chulas de calabaza) basically a pumpkin pancake 😁 The original recipe has a lot more sugar and is usually deep fried. But if I’m known for anything…that is reducing sugar and deep frying in my recipes. I’m not against eating anything, it’s just…
