AUGUST PLAYLIST 🎧 – MONTHLY BLOG UPDATE 📝

AUGUST PLAYLIST 🎧 – MONTHLY BLOG UPDATE 📝

At last, on August 15th…I finally can sit down and write about July. But first, the playlist. As eclectic as I am 💙   And second, a photo of a Cassoulet. Because I love Cassoulet.     The first 15 days of the month are now blurry to me. I remember receiving my aunt from London and trying her delicious rhubarb cooked in a slightly sweet syrup, but I probably don’t remember anything else.     Well, I’m lying, we…

August Playlist 🎧 Living the life of a workaholic

August Playlist 🎧 Living the life of a workaholic

Free time is overrated. Just kidding. Free time is the most valuable thing you can have. I’m going to tell you a secret. I love my job, but not all that comes with it. Here’s August playlist: The last couple of months I’ve been overworking, but I’ve still managed to get some me-time. These past few years I’ve learnt to prioritise me-time above all. I may not have as much as I want or should have, but it’s still a…

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…

Plant-based vs Vegan

Plant-based vs Vegan

This is going to be a long post. I know that for some of you plant-based means vegan (aka products that don’t harm any animal) But what does vegan mean to you? Apparently every word means something different for everyone these days. It’s OK. I understand the food industry is trying to bring up new terms in order to get more people happy. Vegan has becom e biased for some people and plant-based seems to be a good replacement. Although…

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Vegan ideas for Back to School (Plant-Based & Gluten-free)

Since I finished my PhD, I don’t really know how school life works anymore. I was surprised to read that Back To School happens in August for most of you. Also, chatting through Instagram with one of my followfriends she told me she has an exam next week.     I don’t really know how life goes anymore…     What I do know is that we all get hungry, we all want to eat healthier and we all need…

Trout Rolls

Trout Rolls

I find lobster rolls, shrimp rolls or whatever you want to put on a roll, a great meal. I’ve tried them in many places, being steak tartar one of my favourites (read more here).   Well, yesterday I bought some nice buns and decided to do some kind of fish roll. Saw some rainbow trout and everything made sense. This recipe was really nice and refreshing. Not that we need to be refreshed in winter. Although after so many winter stews…

Hey there again! I’m on the road to Granada today. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Escuchando Elefantes (@escuchando_elefantes) That’s like a 10 hours journey.

I think I need to talk about the rest of the dishes I tried for the…

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

Mr. Sandwich: Protein party in a chicken sandwich (Super easy & Super quick)

I’ve started running (again but seriously). The other day I had in mind a veggie risotto for lunch so I went for a long run to a supermarket. When I arrived, my body thought about the risotto and laughed at me. I needed meet and bread. I am a wise woman 🙄 so I didn’t contradict my body…I know I should listen to whatever stupid decision it makes. So I bought chicken breast fillets and bread. When I headed home,…

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Forum Gastronòmic 2017

Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastronòmic in Coruña. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…

Murcia: CaféLab, KEKI, and other things on my mind.

Murcia: CaféLab, KEKI, and other things on my mind.

I remember the first time I went to Murcia was after a gig in Cabo Roig with Paddy Casey. We went there for one night and stayed a whole week. I’d like to blame Paddy’s charm. I don’t know how he does it but we keep postponing life whenever we’re near him. Of course, I’d like to make clear i’m saying this in a very good way. I had some friends there, in Murcia, and I remember one of them…
