Happy Christmas to you all! I made a trifle for Christmas Eve. Here in Galicia (and I think everywhere in Spain) we celebrate the day before Christmas, apart from Christmas day. I made a pear trifle with Christmas spices and candied fruit. The house still smells delicious from making the candied fruit. If you have never done it…do yourself a favour and try. The flavour is amazing, but the smell is incredible. I couldn’t make my own sponge because my…
I’ve decided there’s no Christmas unless there’s a turkey on the table. I mean, I’ve been doing that for a long time now. The thing is…I don’t have a proper oven (yet). I have a new kitchen and I still have to buy an oven, but meanwhile I’m still using my good old small oven. Why haven’t I bought a bigger oven yet? I haven’t found one that I really liked. If you have any suggestions, please let me know,…
Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?).

Ireland. The land of Guinness, rain, butter, potatoes and music. Probably the best description one can ever give. I already said I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland for a long time now. Well, except for the Guinness, my Christmas are pretty much those things: rain, butter, potatoes and music. And as far as music is concerned, I couldn’t be happier. This year was a bit different from others. We always take part in a benefic event on Christmas eve to raise…
It seems like Christmas is definitely coming. After months of anticipation, this is the last week for doing all the shopping. For some years, I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland and England, so I celebrate Spanish/Irish\English Christmas.At home, I was used to celebrate Christmas Eve the night of the 24th, but because of my job, the last 3 years I’ve been singing for charity which has been the greatest way of celebrating. Being able to help other people should be…
