Planting Spring Onions.

 So easy and so satisfying to plant my own spring onions.

Bought a bunch of spring onions from the supermarket, chopped the bottom (about 2/3 cm, and put on a 3 finger tall plastic container,  filled with soil and wholes at the bottom.

Watered and after 2 weeks and I had new spring onions to use. The ones below are my first harvest. :)

Very satisfying.

Morzine, French Alps:Wedding, flowers and snow

Image
My trip to Morzin in the French Alps had a very serious propose: Attend the wedding of one of my best friends, and also be responsible for the flowers arrangements, candles and decoration in general. Upon arrival, no snow, a cold sunny, day and lots of stress, with a huge table full of flowers and foliage of all types, and the responsibility of making this bits and bobs look decent for my friend´s big day!

Shakahuka Portuguese edition

Image
Today, I just had one of the most amazing "Shakshukas"  I’ve done. The first bite was like being back at our kitchen in the countryside,  when my father was alive, when we didn't have electricity in the house and when we had so much tomatoes that we would tomatoes at every meal. Back in the same kitchen where I have one of the most sweet memories of my childhood, laughing so much with my sister that the tomato I had in my mouth splashed out and we had to clean everything very quiclky, before mum arrive. Great one garlic and fry in a little bit of olive oil.  Add six small amazing quality tomatoes,  chopped in half, some salt and let them fry.  Add a tiny little bit of tomato paste and a little bit of hot water allowing to cook  Add some oregano and then crack two eggs in the sauce. Add a pinch of chilies and  top up with more oregano.  Leave to cook covered and serve with warm bread.

Viajar - Poema de António Muñoz Molino

Image
N ão creio que seja verdade o que dizem, que ao viajar alguém se possa transformar em outra pessoa. O que acontece é que nos livramos de nós mesmos, das nossas obrigações e do nosso passado, tal como reduzimos tudo o que possuímos aos poucos objectos necessários que vão dentro da mala. A parte mais pesada da nossa identidade sustenta-se sobre o que os outros pensam de nós. Olham-nos e sabemos que sabem, e no silêncio forçam-nos a ser o que esperam que sejamos. António Muñoz Molino
