We started with the pass through project yesterday! Since the kitchen is fully tiled we needed to remove most of the tiles from the wall where we’ll be adding the window before we can actually make the hole, and that’s what we did last night. Sadly since we’re both very busy lately we have to… CONTINUE READING →
One of the things I wanted to include in the blog redesign was a “Favorite Posts” area in the sidebar. I feel like we’ve done a lot of DIY projects and recipes that tend to get lost otherwise, and showcasing the ones we like best is a good idea to make them shine a little… CONTINUE READING →
After smoothing down my parents’ walls and painting them (still have to finish the entry&stairs, by the way) they also asked us to re-hang all the art and add a couple of extra things to the wall.

I’m in go, go, go mode right now. I have a lot going on this term – I have to give my thesis a big push in preparation for my stay, I’m also required to teach a class to Sophomore students (wish me luck!), I’m taking a couple of online classes myself, not to mention… CONTINUE READING →

The season started with Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch, which we celebrated with Andoni’s side of the family. You already saw… CONTINUE READING →
Right now I’m in the middle of my second year of writing my PhD dissertation, with a couple more years left to go. It’s an “International Doctorate” program, which means that I have to do at least a three-month stay to work on my thesis with someone in a non-Spanish University. Such stay is usually… CONTINUE READING →
We’re nearing the end of the holiday season here (it ends January 6th on King’s Day) and everything has been hectic lately so it might be a while before things get back to normal on the blog. In the meantime, this is the dessert I made for Christmas Eve Dinner and let me tell you,… CONTINUE READING →
Happy New Year(‘s Eve) everyone! I’m making tonight’s dessert as I speak, but I wanted to pop in on the last day of the year to share my goals for 2013.
