NOVEMBER PLAYLIST 🎧 OCTOBER MONTHLY BLOG 📝
Goodbye Tomate, hello November.
February Playlist – Music 🎧 + Monthly blog update 📷 🖊
Good day, lovely visitor! How’s it going? Today I woke up in a particularly odd mood. I couldn’t really sleep last night. But I’m tired of being tired. So I decided I’d change my mood because we all have that power, believe it or not. It wasn’t an automatic response of the body. You have to go through a process. At least I have to. The result is: I am writing this at 18:08, in the afternoon, and after more…
Plant-based vs Vegan
This is going to be a long post. I know that for some of you plant-based means vegan (aka products that don’t harm any animal) But what does vegan mean to you? Apparently every word means something different for everyone these days. It’s OK. I understand the food industry is trying to bring up new terms in order to get more people happy. Vegan has becom e biased for some people and plant-based seems to be a good replacement. Although…
Tapas Picadillo: 2018 Edition.
I’ve told you about this contest last year, and I kep talking about it and I will probably talk about it next year. I used to have a hundred options and got really anxious about it. The good thing about being gluten-free and dairy-free (among other ingredient-free things) is that it narrows your choices. I’ve always thought that would be an inconvenient, but on the contrary, it makes it easier when I have to order in a…
Food, in sickness and in health (Hospital IV)
For over a month, I’ve been quite sick. I had to go to the hospital a couple of times and stay there for a while. I had surgery in order to solve the problem, which is something I don’t fancy too much on a Wednesday afternoon, as you can guess. It’s been two weeks since the surgery and I feel much better now. I am walking at a normal pace, I am making my own food again (I…
Healthy Rice Bowl (Poke style)
I made a non-raw Poke bowl the other day. It’s very comforting, and although everything was cooked and then cool, it felt very warming. Ingredients: 1 cup of brown rice cooked 1/2 sweet potato 2 radishes 1 mackerel fillet or 1/2 cup of tofu in cubes 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp mirin 1/2 corn on the cob 1/2 avocado mashed with lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper 1 tsp nut butter (I used cashew) Lime wedges Method: Marinate…
Trout Rolls
I find lobster rolls, shrimp rolls or whatever you want to put on a roll, a great meal. I’ve tried them in many places, being steak tartar one of my favourites (read more here). Well, yesterday I bought some nice buns and decided to do some kind of fish roll. Saw some rainbow trout and everything made sense. This recipe was really nice and refreshing. Not that we need to be refreshed in winter. Although after so many winter stews…
Mijo Minibar (Vigo)
The other day I told you about Ruxe Ruxe in Vigo. Today, I want to talk about another restaurant in the same city, Mijo Minibar. The night before an amazing gig in Vigo, I couldn’t sleep. You can blame it on stress if you want, but I have the nicest type of insomnia, the one that comes in the morning. Sometimes, I simply wake up because I hear a noise at 5am and I can’t sleep again. It doesn’t bother…
Forum Gastronòmic 2017
Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastronòmic in Coruña. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…
