Note: I’ve realized that I should try and stick to a blogging schedule (just because I work better if I’m on a schedule, I think) so from now on I’ll be blogging on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Even if sometimes it’s just a short post because I’m busy! Like I told you on Monday, I… CONTINUE READING →
I’ve been missing (again) these last weeks, but I have a good reason, I promise! I just got back from a great vacation in Chicago and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’m still jet-lagged, and have to finish my Master Thesis (the final version is due next week) so here are… CONTINUE READING →
Summer is in full swing here (even if the weather doesn’t completely agree) and we’ve been busy… doing what, exactly? I tried baking an Oreo inside a chocolate chip cookie (per a friend’s insistence). It might look like the most awesome idea ever… it’s not. Trust me. I also made Stromboli for the first time… CONTINUE READING →
A while ago I shared the “to do list” around here – I though it was time to update it a bit! Here’s a few things we’d like to focus on in the next few months: Finish the outdoor kitchen area ➝ We just have to finish the doors (cutting the wood, staining, installing the… CONTINUE READING →
Here’s the recipe, finally, for paella. But first, let me talk about the annual paella contest that takes place in Aixerrota (Getxo), which is near Bilbao. Every year around the 25th of July thousands of people gather in groups to make their own paella. There’s a contest, too – but we don’t participate, mostly because… CONTINUE READING →
I’ve been MIA for the last two weeks – I’m terrible, I know! But I’ve already defended my master thesis (although I still have to finish writing it) and we had the annual Paella contest yesterday, so here’s a pic of what’s coming!
First of all, I want to apologize for my lack of posts lately – since I started this blog I wanted to post several times a week, but it’s been impossible lately, given that I have to present my master thesis next week. Hopefully things will settle down afterwards! Anyway, remember what I said last… CONTINUE READING →
How’s everyone’s summer going? I just got back from a weekend away at the beach in Suances and I’ve been feeling a bit sick, but I had a great time! It’s the fourth year I’ve visited (for a beach handball tournament) and the first time that the weather was actually nice the whole weekend. Everything… CONTINUE READING →
The other day, I baked a birthday cake. You know, one of those multiple layer cakes that is tall and chocolaty and delicious. And it wasn’t anybody’s birthday, I did it just because. I had all day to myself – my boyfriend was at a beach handball tournament, and all our friends were there. I usually… CONTINUE READING →
We’re not quite done with our outdoor kitchen (the doors of the cabinets are still missing) but we did use it last weekend to cook a paella, so I thought I’d share a few updated pictures and a brief how-to of our simple DIY kitchen. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the paella recipe! Have… CONTINUE READING →
