I love the rain. I think it isn’t a coincidence that I was born in October. Nothing is never a coincidence anyway. Don’t you think? I’ve been thinking about this month for a whole year. I love the begining of Autumn. If you don’t live in Galicia (or Ireland) you probably don’t really get why I love it so much. That smell of wet…well, everything! is so intoxicating. As soon as the season changes, the…
Today is a very special day. We celebrate Galician Literature so I made a special playlist. I love Galicia and I love literature, so today is a day I’ve always enjoyed. I remember when I was a little girl, this day meant a very well deserved holiday very near to the end of the school year. The weather would be warm (even if it rained, because here we have a lot of rain, always) and we could ejoy a pre-summer…
Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day and you know I love celebrating everything. Ireland has a very special place in my heart. It’s been a second home for years, I have many friends there and most of the music I love comes from Irish writers. I’m guessing this year, many of them won’t be in the mood for celebrating. But I have found that it is best to celebrate when you are not in the mood. Why? Well, because mood is…
It’s been a while since I’ve made pancakes. Well, actually crêpes…well, they’re actually filloas here. You know what? I made this vegan gluten free batter in the shape of crêpes, thick filloas or thin pancakes. Call them what you want, I’ll eat them while you choose. Jokes aside, one of my favourites as a kid was making filloas (the Galician version of crêpes and pancakes) on Shrove Tuesday. Usually my dad would make a Galician Stew and with…
We started 2020 working. Logroño was our first stop on the map this year. We played at Actual Music Festival (January, the 4th) Right before the Epiphany. For those of you who don’t know, the Epiphany in Spain is a greater deal for many than Christmas Day. They usually exchange presents that day instead of December 25th. The day started with the buffet breakfast at the Hotel. We stayed at Husa Gran Vía, where the breakfast…
It’s a new year. There’s so many memories worth talking about in 2019, but I’m one of those that really enjoys just thinking about them instead of talking about them. There were some losses too. One of them really shook the end of the year and tinted all the Christmas festivities with a very different tone. But I’ve learnt a lot, and I keep learning. 2019 has been a constant learning experience, and I think I’ve never known my true…
I am naming this new kind of posts: Express Experiences. Why? I don’t know, but the name is catchy, isn’t it? 😁 Just kidding, I know why I call them this way. I usually take my camera when I know I’m going to talk about my experience in a restaurant. I really want to give as much credit as I can to the restaurant and I believe the qualitiy of the pictures is something they deserve. Nevertheless, this…
I love this dessert. The good thing about it is that it is so energetic and so healthy that it makes a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, dessert after lunch…you name it! The base is simple: bananas, peanut butter and cacao nibs. That’s it…the rest is up to your imagination. A couple of weeks ago, Lucía (a friend) and I decided that the best way to keep in touch was to meet for breakfast on Sundays. And I must say, we…
I’ve read a lot about how easy it is to do something if you form a habit. That’s why I hate new year’s resolutions done in January. I have a lot of resolutions, but I don’t feel like the first day of the year is going to be the best day to start. Why? Well, you probably stayed up later than usual, you might be hungover if you drink alcohol and if you are, like most people, a food lover…you’ve…
Don’t panic if you don’t have time for making dessert this year. Just do me a favour, soak a cup of raw cashews right now. C’mon, go! Come back after you do it, I’ll be waiting for you here. Done? Now keep reading this post and make the cake in 15 minutes. You only have to soak the cashews 6 hours before, so you are safe. You can read this post, you can read a couple more posts from this…
