Nuts

source: pinterest.com

I recently found this website where they have dried fruits and nuts at very good pricing so I already spread the word and got ready to make a list with the most wanted nuts in the house. You know how sometimes friends order clothes online and get together in order to get free shipping? Well, we got together somehow for the fun of it, I already imagine how fun it can be to open up such an order. It's almost like Christmas Day, I'm guessing.

So here it is. Once I order, I get back to you with some more information about the quality and all, but I think there's nothing to worry about. Mhhhm, tasty tested.

Because sharing really is caring

I'm currently e-mailing recipes to myself just so I don't forget that I so want to bake that cake, try that pizza dough, make that awesome cheesake. I'm drooling in front of this tumblr and I'm promising myself to try all the goodies from this blog.

let's talk food. or love. or love about food

I think what I love most about food is... eating it. Sure I've been dieting, sure, now I'm testing the Dukan diet, but I think as long as I know I have found the balanced way of eating, this one more diet will cause no harm. It's all about reaching the weight you want and also an exercise of self-discipline. My biggest this sort of exercise was being a vegetarian for almost three years now. I have learned how to love ALL vegetables, I discovered that one can crave for brown rice with marrow, drool just thinking about a broccoli or tomato soup and never have enough spinach (yes, SPINACH). I learned to cook properly and healthy. And I discovered that I enjoy baking so much that baking muffins at 3 am during a cooking party seemed perfectly natural.

I dreamt of the perfect kitchen. Few steps from being completed, I can now say that it is perfect. I think I was thinking "kitchen, kitchen!" before even thinking "my own home". I also learned that when you finally have your own place, it feels a hundred times more like home when you fill it in with the dearest people in the world, when you create beautiful memories and also when you enjoy the perfect silence in the morning, something only yours, sometimes shared.

I have already enjoyed so many beautiful mornings here and it just seemed the fullest year. I can only be happy thinking about what's yet to come and wishing for the best, still knowing that unexpected is always a part of the future.

I love food. And I also love to love so I guess that came naturally. :) At the end of the day (or of the first year in the new home), I can say I learned to love so much more.

how to get better at everything

I really have no idea.Worked piled up yet I'm not complaining. In theory, I know everything should be super organized but here I am procrastinating one more weekend. I'm guessing is the need of taking a break from everything or fear of starting it all over again. Maybe it's a small pause, I have no idea. I'm talking about WOLF 25, of course. Everything else I can manage, so far. Of course, there's the house, so many things which still need to be done. So although Christmas is in 3 months from now, I can definitely say that all I want for this Christmas is to have many things done and my friends joining the parties again because I miss having them over and enjoying lots of home cooked meals. How's everything else going for you? Are there ant wishes for this fall? Things you have on a list?

Clatitele au un rol bine definit: rasfatul

Clatitele au reguli. Nescrise. Se bazeaza, mai ales, pe cat de somnoros esti sau pe cat de bine ai dormit azi-noapte. Si prima regula e ca prima clatita nu trebuie sa fie intotdeauna de sacrificiu:

Regula nr. 2: Cand apar bulele, intoarcem clatita. Dar asta numai daca avem noroc sa observam bulele din camera cealalta, din fata calculatorului.

Regula nr. 3: Intotdeauna se va forma un munte. Muntele de clatite este un scop in sine.

Regula nr. 4: Prima poza se supraexpune. Efectul trebuie sa fie similar celui produs in cazul in care o nava extraterestra aterizeaza in parcul din fata blocului.

Regula nr. 5: Urmatoarea poza se supraexpune obligatoriu, dar din unghi diferit. Se observa, catre dreapta, o intensificare semnificativa a junglei amazoniene.

Regula nr. 6: Muntele e gata, grabim procesul de fotografiere, atentia si concentrarea scad.

Regula nr.7: Editam ultima poza la intamplare, fara nicio legatura cu nuantele celor de mai sus. Gasim nuanta de verde si ne bucuram ca asta e. Tinem pentru noi ca primele sase editari au fost mai bune.

Regula nr.8: Cand ne-nfigem in asa ceva, doua saptamani nu mai avem voie sa spunem ca vrem sa slabim. Sa ne fie rusine. Dar s-aveti pofta!

Grow your own spices. Build your own home

Sunt multe, multe de facut intr-o casa de om. Uneori crezi ca nu se mai termina, ca intotdeauna va mai fi ceva de cumparat, ca mereu vei mai avea nevoie de o piesa de mobilier. Dar toate aceste experiente te invata ca trebuie sa ai rabdare. Si, in timp ce astepti, te recompenseaza cu sentimentul placut de a fi acasa si de a o imparti cu cei dragi.

Interviu Mic dejun de Bucuresti pe Mixtopia.ro

Pentru ca am avut parte de cele mai bune intrebari, a iesit un interviu frumos.

Cateva cuvinte despre blog: cand a aparut, de ce si cum suna viitorul pentru blogul tau?
Blogul Mic dejun de Bucuresti a aparut in iulie 2010 si a fost inspirat de blogul new yorkez Simply Breakfast. Si-asa am devenit azi omul care intelege ca micul dejun luat in fiecare dimineata iti schimba in bine intreaga saptamana.
In viitor mi-ar placea sa scot o carte despre blog cu acelasi titlu. Pana acum, m-am lovit de refuzuri, dar nu renunt.  In rest, nu stiu cum arata viitorul. Trecutul a fost frumos (targuri culinare, participarea la o emisiune televizata, interviuri). In prezent, spun da oportunitatilor. Doar asta e si cel mai bun mod de a te ocupa de viitor.
Mai tii minte care a fost prima reteta prezentata pe blog?  De ce ai inceput tocmai cu aceea?
E impropriu spus reteta in cazul meu, dar cred ca am scris despre granola cu ciocolata. Imi plac cerealele, dar le prefer pe cele pregatite in casa, in cele mai gustoase combinatii. Granola cu ciocolata si iaurt e cea mai buna varianta, chiar si azi.
Dar care a fost primul preparat la care ai dat gres, asta iti mai aduci aminte?
O perioada maricica de timp dadeam gres cam la toate tartele. Dar asta doar fiindca nu eram suficient de interesata de gatit si cautam calea de mijloc. M-am lecuit, gatesc dupa reteta si aluatul de tarta nu mai e un mister de multa vreme. Imi amintesc insa de niste fursecuri in care puteai sa-ti lasi usor doi dinti din fata. Intre mine si cei cu care le-am impartit atunci s-a legat o prietenie stransa ca dovada ca ce nu te omoara te face mai puternic.
Care e preparatul prezentat pe blog care a facut ravagii in randul cititorilor?
Am postat recent un tort de ciocolata. Iar ciocolata e unul dintre lucrurile care dovedeste ca lumea e, in fond, un loc bun.
