  Hi! How is everybody doing? This one it’s even harder… what to say? Mmhh, well while I’m writing this I’m watching a k-drama “My name” currently on episode 4 and it’s been good so far, ignoring some scene’s that are too bloody for my liking. In general, it’s quite hard for me to start a new series or even a movie, whenever I look for some I end watching something I already saw before literally, like I have seen Avatar: The Last Airbender 5 times minimum… not that I mind because it’s a good one, but I also know there’s a lot of series to be watched but it’s still really hard for me. I start thinking “what if it’s a bad series and I waste my time?” or “what if it’s too boring? I will also waste my time” and so on, sometimes I don’t even watch any series and I just watch some random videos on YouTube.   The last series I binge watched in two days on my own initiative was “The Umbrella Academy” and now I’m waiting for the 3 rd season to be released which it’s going to be, appar...

  Hello!  This is hard one to do… there are lots of food that I really like. For this time, I’m going to choose pasta, any kind of pasta, ravioli, gnocchi, lasagna, cannelloni, fusilli, sometimes we eat it in salads with some veggies. When talking about the sauce I also enjoy it in many ways, but my preferences are bechamel sauce by its own, a mix of bechamel sauce and pomodoro or bechamel sauce with a teaspoon of basil or parsley pesto. Other few times we make a soy sauce with green onions for a more Asian flavour… as you may see I’m not a big fan of Bolognese, probably because my mom used to cook it a lot of times but now as I cook too, she learned recipes that she also likes and enjoy much as I do.

 Hi!  Today I want to talk about Myself, I know, sounds a little bit narcissist but it’s just going to be one thing that I really love. Well, I may have or not an obsession with coffee, like I really enjoy it, from the process of brewing to finally testing it and don’t get me started on the smell… it’s best thing ever! Early this year we bought a coffee grinder, before that we would just buy already grinded coffee and let me say that it’s a total game changer since the coffee it’s freshly grinded the smell and the taste went up several levels since it’s doesn’t have time to oxidize which is in general what gives coffee a really bad and acid flavour. Since we started grinding our coffee at home I have read a lot of techniques for brewing such as water temperature, type of brewing, types of preparations, how to froth milk… my mom even bought me a little hand mixer so I can do it faster! Now everyone at the house loves coffee as much as I do and we often have it, specially with s...
