I know flowers are beautiful, and appart from being a bit allergic to some of them, I love getting flowers and plants as a gift. But, come on! Men get…

Those days before I had to stop having a glass of milk because I sing. Those days when I woke up…

Pancake day: Filloas

It’s pancake day, and how am I celebraring it? Yes, you guessed! By cooking and eating pancakes! This recipe is the Galician version of crêpes.

This year was a bit different from others. We always take part in a benefic event on Christmas eve to raise…
