Tradition says that you have to bury a ring, a coin, a rag, a pea and a stick to do a fortune telling game during Samhain (best known nowadays as Halloween). Each piece will tell you if you would get married or not next year, or if you would be rich or poor. I’m known for being a very positive person, so I changed the game a bit. First of all beacuse I really didn’t want…
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…
“Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields” 🍓 What’s better than a fresh ripe strawberry in your mouth while the sun is shining? I’ll tell you what…wild strawberries! I’ve always been a fan of wild strawberries. I remember my grandpa used to give them to me when I was a kid because they grew in the backyard of his country house (where I live in). The years went by and my fixation…
May has arrived. Here, in the north of Spain, we are having our usual weather. Raining day and night with no chance of sunny skies. Well, maybe not that much, but it’s been raining quite a bit. I like rainy weather, specially when I have to work for hours inside the studio. I’m sure your are thanking the weather too if it’s raining now with the hope that it will be sunny once the quarantine ends, am…
Hey! How’s your April going. Mine has become a hectic month. I’m getting ready to record a music video, while we are quarantined. Which means there’s only two people doing the job of a whole team. Which means: Stress levels going up. But I must say, I’ve been training for this kind of situations. Not quarantines. Working more than I should has always been one of my traits, but what I’ve been training for has been staying chill…
It’s April, at last. Time seems to move slower these days, am I right? I’ve made a playlist for the month, but as most of you are staying home, maybe only one is too short. What do you do while you listen to playlists? Tell me the activity you usually do when you listen to music and I can make a personalized playlist especially for the quarantine. I usually work on light stuff while I listen,…
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…
I started the year working, actually the new 20’s decade. Some might contradict me and say it’s not the begining of a decade (hi dad!) but I’ll skip that part. The thing is, work came sooner than expected. On the 4th of January I played the first gig of the year. I didn’t even had the time to write my new years resolutions 😅. Just kidding, I love making lists of any kind. One of my strongest desires this year…
I know it’s December already. I’ve guessed you are saturated with all the Christmas recipes and desserts and gift guides. So I thought I may offer you something completely different. Because, you know, we eat every day, and Christmas it’s just a couple of weeks of celebrating. Why am I saying all this? Because I have a light, healthy and uncomplicated recipe for those days “in-between” the festivities. Just one thing, don’t worry if you can’t…
Whenever I’m lazy for breakfast I think…Avocado Toast. The same happens at lunch and…guess what’s for dinner? I usually have a meal plan for the week, but if everything goes wrong…Avocado Toast. I’ve made so many different versions of the so-called Avocado Toast that I just go with the flow. Lately I’ve been doing this recipe, but who knows what tomorrow brings. I’ve started calling them avotoasts. So, from now on, avotoasts it is. The base is always the same…half…
