Today is March, 25th. What a better day to talk about February? Right? The playlist has been there since day 1 probably, and the photos waiting to be uploaded since then too. I know this Recap comes incredibly late. I thought it would be better to just skip this month as if it had never passed, now it’s almost finishing. Get done with February and start March already. Wouldn’t be such a bad idea, I guess. …
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…
Hey there! I really was waiting until February to start writing agoin in the blog because I’ve been trying new ways of eating and I wanted to be sure how I felt about it before writing about it. Well, this post isn’t about that, so don’t worry. I’m here because you asked for this recipe, and I am proud you want it because it means a lot that you are willing to try new vegan and plant-based versions of traditional…
I bought too much sardines the other day, I needed my omega3. Although my favourite way to eat them is 2 minutes each side on a pan, I felt like I needed to do something different with the remaining 500 gr I had. I usually search for recipes in English, that’s a thing I’ve been doing since I first searched for a recipe on the Internet, because at the beginning, it was easier to find international recipes that way. This…
I made a quick recipe. It only has 3 ingredients, but it is delicious! (Recipe below) Ingredients: 350 gr Padrón Peppers 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar Add some salt if you fancy. Method: Cut the stem of the peppers, but leave the seeds, if some are hot, you want that on your jam 🙂 Wash and rinse Place in a pot with the sugar and vinegar and cover with a lid (or a plate, as…
Isn’t it ironic? A city where they offer you a free tapa with each drink anywhere holding a contest in which you have to pay for the tapas. Well, maybe not ironic, but your belly has to be ready for something like that. I’ve visited the city twice while this happened, they still offered you the free tapa even after ordering a paid one. I really wanted to try as many places as possible. It wasn’t possible to try more…
My neighbours are too kind. They planted Padrón peppers and they are constantly giving me bags full of these wonderful veggies. I’m so grateful! The thing is, on their own, they are perfect. Nonetheless, I started fooding around with them. The result is this superquick recipe you can enjoy hot or cold. The Fergese it’s a hot recipe, but I love to prepare it and then have a cold bruschetta of the mixture before I put it in the oven….
I love Medieval fairs, Renaissance fairs or any other themed fair that is supposed to be a recreation of another period of time I haven’t been able to live. Of course, I appreciate them more when they are so well done that you feel awful for not being dressed up. That is not the case of the one I’ll be talking about in this post. I am fascinated by how they sell anything that is handmade (not always, though) even…
On Friday we had a great gig at La Fábrica de Chocolate in Vigo. Well, I say great, but appart from that it was kind of mental. Two people fainted at the beginning, and it was kind of difficult to stay concentrated. After the gig I could talk to Ana, one of them, and she was feeling better. I hope Dani, the other guy, feels OK now because I couldn’t talk to him after the show. Some made jokes comparing…
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. They are called differently depending on the region, but in my family (and in most places) they are called filloas. It’s tradition to make them on Shrove Tuesday with the leftover broth from making Galician Stew. They can be done with broth, milk or half broth and half milk. In my family when we were…
