Spiced Iced Tea

Spiced Iced Tea, it's better if you received free exclusive Cylon tea, but anything would work

It is no question now that we now know how the government is dealing with the citizens of the country. After the 4th of August, we, or at least I, have removed the expectations bar all-together as I know we’re gonna find a new low (not to be confused with LAW) with every passing week.

It’s been almost 2 months since the explosion and no results from the investigation, no one detained, none of…

I've heard of friends losing sleep. They want to sleep but they can't. But no one has ever told me something similar to what I feel. Nights are beginning to crawl on us earlier as we step into September and eventually Autumn As the sun fades away signaling the end of the day, I get this feeling like I want to restart the day It should not end The day is not done I want to make my morning coffee at night Prepare myself breakfast and start the day I don't want to go to bed Eventually the sandman will cover my eyes with heaps of his magical sand and that keeps me asleep for late once I do But I don't want to It still one long day one long month and endless year a series of disastrous events #cookin5m2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFfIa5wJSgZ/?igshid=1rq8ocfgwiuc6

Sourdough Bread

I recently read an article about how and why most of us resorted to baking during quarantine. Whether is it anxiety baking or procrastibaking, as the article states, it is an activity that we enjoy to let time pass during confinement and have a good delicious product, that is usually more delicious because we made it ourselves.

I was never really into baking bread. I LOVEeating bread, but when…

Pickled Wild Thyme

I made this recipe more than a year ago. I haven’t shared recipes on the blog all the way from July 2019 to May 1st 2020. Things that kept me away ranged from getting sick to full on clown rehearsals followed by the trip and performances in Barcelona as part of a HUGE festival, then getting back home to the major instability starting from October till now. I made and shot many recipes, prepared…

Plum Jam

I haven’t been cooking and shooting lately, but I have enough stock to allow me to post archive recipes for some time. As long as I have the mindset to write and edit and publish, I’m safe, and you’re getting recipes 😂 So here it goes

I made this last year and I was experimenting with some dark moody photography but it’s such a pity that I kept these photos stored for a year now. I probably…

Strawberry Jam

Let’s move down the spectrum from yellow and orange to RED.

Strawberry season might be over around here, but I have another long lost jars of preserves that I had to look for and unearth from the abyss of lost jars.

I remember making this jam a couple of years ago when I got a few crates of strawberries and sat on the floor with legs crossed washing the strawberries, picking the stems off, and…

Preserved Lemons

I told you it will get lemony here. Try not to get too sour about it. Let’s go down this yellow brick road and I’ll show you around what I did with those lemons other than freezing the zest and juice, and making a wonderful sorbet.

With this plethora of lemons, I couldn’t help, while zesting, but pick out the best –and the most emotionally unavailable– ones to praise and cherish and photograph.…

The Spill

WARNING: This week’s spill is serious. It is something from a list of things I want to address and an incident happened online and I felt I should be writing something.

This post is against bullying. Bear with me

I believe bullying is unacceptable. We should teach those we have an influence on to be kind and not to be bullies. At the same time, we have to teach them to grow thick skin to face the…
