I used to think that I’m a big city girl. And I am, I guess. But not as much as I thought.

Not So Traditional Christmas Lunch
On the second day of Christmas we eat cookies for breakfast in bed. We spend the whole morning in bed. We sleep, or cuddle, or read, or watch movies… Until, around lunchtime, we start to have horrible stomachaches caused by all the sweets we ate for breakfast.

And again. And again.

Vegan “Bolognese” Sauce

It is a life changer if you have a cruelty free diet but you used to love food made from meat. I use this alternative meat for cabbage a la Cluj, filled paprika soup and for bolognese sauce, but I also tried other recipes with minced meat with it, and it worked very well each time.

When I lied
Do you remember what I told you at the beginning of this week? That I need to stop for a while and I plan to do absolutely nothing this week? Well, I lied. Not because I didn’t really plan to. But because I knew it’s not possible.

The Story of the Fringilla Coelebs
So one of Pesto’s and Frizzante’s friend, Layla, caught a young Fringilla coelebs the other day. She was learning to fly, but she ended up in Layla’s mouth instead. After they leave the nest, their parents are still feeding them on the ground until they get strong enough to learn to fly and to take care of themselves. Until that, they are jumping around the grass, calling their parents to feed them.
