There’s months when you take a look at your phone’s photo gallery and it seems like there’s nothing to show. There’s others when you start scrolling and it seems like there’s no end. April belongs to the second category. I’m getting used to procrastinating this monthly posts, but I assure you it’s not gonna last that long. If I’m honest with you, it only happened because there’s a lot to talk about and too many photos to edit and share…and…
It seems like I keep postponing these posts even though they are the engine that make me keep going. But today, April 18th, I came to the public library. I took 10 different books to devour next month and sat with my computer and my April playlist to write. Time instantly stopped. And I feel free and happy. I’ve been busier than usual (I mean since 2020) It seems like we are all waking up from our…
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…
Before I start, let’s get in the mood. Click play on the playlist below so you can read this with background music that gets you on your Irish attitude. Ireland feels like a second home to me. I have a deep connection with some places in the world. There’s this strange connection with France, for instance. I feel like I need to be near that country, if not in that country. Since the first time I visited Paris, I told…
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. …
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…
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…
Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….
I’ve told you about this contest last year, and I kep talking about it and I will probably talk about it next year. I used to have a hundred options and got really anxious about it. The good thing about being gluten-free and dairy-free (among other ingredient-free things) is that it narrows your choices. I’ve always thought that would be an inconvenient, but on the contrary, it makes it easier when I have to order in a…
My family has always relied in the same butcher since I can remember. My grandma used to buy meat from her, and then my mum. But then I went vegetarian for a while when I left home, and when I started eating meat again (for health problems) I wouldn’t eat certain kinds of meat, so I wasn’t a good one keeping tradition. But, she’s closing down and as a kid I remember going with my mum or my grandma to…
