Malvón

Yesterday one of my best friends, Mabe invited me to a very special brunch for my birthday (the ideal gift because I love having breakfast) in a place in Villa Crespo called Malvón. I've already read something about it in the blog of my brazilian friend Túlio and they both were right, it was delicious, beautiful and specially plentiful. As a matter of fact the table was too small for all the food the brought us... and we ate it all :P

Thanks Mabe for this lovely Bday present! x

Food Memories From My Holidays

 Byron in South Kensington. Dinner with Lorena. Tasty hamburgers, super cold beer.

These nachos were our appetizers.

 Scandinavian food in a place in Soho, London. I can't remember the name,

I went there with Osiris and Vanessa.

 Lots of sushi in Okirama in Paris. My first night visiting my friend Danielle.

 A perfect pic-nic in the Eiffel Tower with Danielle, a baguete, a Camembert,

olives and a bottle of wine.

Back from Paris. Dinner at home with more cheese!

The meal I want to have all the Sundays of my life: Sunday Roast

at The Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington.

 Fish and Chips. Of course.

 A typical English Breakfast. Complete. Delicious. This was in Budleigh Salterton, Devon.

 Mackerel fish with cream cheese (Chris's recipe) and king prawns salad with Red Stripe (yeah!). Lunch in the garden.

Bi Bim Bap in Bi Bim Bap Soho. I so love Korean food.

Everytime I see a food post on Sandra Juto's blog I get both hungry and happy, so I though I can share my food memories with you all. The photos are not that pretty because they are from my Blackberry, but seeing all this dishes together definitely made me remember some very nice moments, and also got me both hungry and happy, so at least speaking for myself only, the mission of this post is accomplished.

Sundays

One thing I really love about Sundays is that you get to have an endless breakfast. At least I know I can and I do, like have some fruits really early in the morning with a cup of tea, and gradually during the day keep on having different breakfast dishes: pancakes, toasts, arepas, eggs, you name it... I love all kinds of breakfast food. As I write these lines I'm actually finishing my second breakfast :)

As a soundtrack of this Sunday I've been listening to Ruby and the Rib Cage. Ruby is a friend of some friends but I never have had the chance to hear her music until now. This morning I've discovered her Soundcloud and really like what I heard. Check it out, you can find three nice tunes for today :)

Tobacco Factory

Back in July when I was in Bristol I have the opportunity to visit a lovely Sunday Market in the Tobacco Factory in Raleigh Road. There was a lot fresh and delicious food as well as plants, books, vinyls, vintage clothes and super nice people willing to give you a taste of their lovely dishes.

We bought 'falapples' a delicious recipe created for Jabob that mixes, as you probably imagine, falafel and apples, we also tried the falafels with tomato and the hummus, everything was amazingly good. We got carried away and end up buying lots of cheese and chutneys (the onion marmalade was my favorite one) for sharing with friends and to finish our time in the market we shared a nice pie from the popular Pie Minister.


The Sunday Market has its own Facebook Page and the Tobbaco Factory, that also serves as a café and a venue for cultural events, is having soon a 10 Year Anniversary Celebration, you can see the details of the event here. So if you happen to be in Bristol don't miss any of this, you're in for a treat :)

Spring & Autumn

I know that I say that I probably won't blog this week. Well, today I couldn't help it because is Spring & Autumn Day, my two favorite seasons. I want to share with you a mixtape I made. Click on the illustration to listen to it and have an amazing day everyone! x

Blueberry Crumble

Since I discovered cooking as a delightful new way of procrastinating I've been making all kinds of dishes, old and new, exotic, traditional, recently learnedor tasted and even some improvisation. Today I decided to try this Berry Crumble recipe I found by google-ing "berry crumble", it sounded very simple and it actually was.

Other than my lack of cooking skills the only thing working against me was that my oven is not working properly and in this case in particular you need to be able to adjust very well the oven's temperature... but anyway, besides a little over-cooked almonds on the top the rest was delicious.

I had dessert for lunch today and I also get to blogged about my blueberry-procrastinating-crumble... doesn't get any better than that. If you try it, and you totally should, let me know how it turns out! x

The Dark Side of Oz

I guess everybody knows the urban legend about syncing Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon but just a few have actually try it out. Well, now is your chance. Bryan Pugh a Sound Engineer from Brooklyn has done all the dirty work, now you just have to click on his Vimeo Channel and see/hear for yourself if it was just a legend or if Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Sid Barret were actually this crazy playful Oz/Wonderland fans.

West Country

Here I go... and I'm in for a treat :)

La primavera no perdona

Así sigue Echeverría 2850, aproximadamente un mes después de las primeras fotos. Decía Mafalda que la primavera es la estación más publicitada por la naturaleza y, como siempre, tenía razón.

Good morning Venezuela!
