PANCAKE TUESDAY

2010-02-16T03:05:00.000-08:00

Throughout the British Isles the day before Ash Wednesday - Shrove Tuesday - is commonly known as Pancake Day. In Ireland, It’s called Pancake Tuesday.

Since I'm living in Cork I enjoy Pancake's day and that's my favorite way to eat them.

Hope you like it too.

IRISH PANCAKES

Ingredients

2 cups flour1/2 tsp salt2 1/2 cups whole milk2 eggs1 oz unsalted butterAdditional butter for fryinggranulated sugarlemon juice.

Method

1. Beat the milk and eggs together in a bowl. In another bowl, sift the flour and salt together; add half the milk and egg mixture, stirring constantly.

2. Melt the butter and whisk it in. Whisk in the rest of the remaining milk and egg mixture.

3. Allow the batter to stand at least two hours.

4. Melt 1 tbs butter in frying pan, add 1/4 cup batter and tip until the pan is evenly coated. Keep the pan moving as you cook to prevent sticking. When the underside is golden brown, flip the pancake and cook the other side.Slide onto an oven proof platter; sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice and then, roll up.Keep warm in a 300 degree oven until ready to serve.

Me & My Bicycle

2010-02-06T13:03:00.000-08:00

It's been An amazing day Here in Cork today and for some reason I feel more alive than ever. Happy for some many things are happening to me lately but being honest a bit sad too.It´s hard to understand human beings and why suddenly we behave so badly.That makes me feel very sad.

Leaving that aside I Can´t complain. I know the sun shines through the rain and through it all I've got my family and friends and a few plans floating around.

Today I rode my bicycle and I enjoyed my day in a good company too.
Now tired and laid down to rest wondering what tomorrow will bring...

FROM NOW ON

2009-11-24T05:26:00.000-08:00

I was too tired after the exhausting weekend but finally we went to the cinema last night and I have to admit that It wasn't as bad I imagined.Apart from the "marry me" thing in the end of the movie or the milky white face of Pattinson I felt asleep just twice.Not too bad!.We finished around 8:30 and huge queue was waiting for the next session.

Despite of his slimness I find him very attractive.Probably is something his eyes and the way he moves that I kind of like.I really look forward to watch his new movie"Remember me" and see another side of Robert.

Crazy weekend.Sorry I did not post any news lately.It´s been crazy. My city is flooded, I've no water in the sink.You can imagine how desperate I am .Quite difficult to get a shower but good friends to be around by. Rebeca came over for a visit from Gibraltar and Natale finally went ahead and got that tattoo she's been dying for.She can't imagine How proud I´m of herself.From now on I believe everything is gonna be alright.We had a great time together.

Penelope

2009-11-18T12:53:00.001-08:00

Tough day Today.I felt like hell .Honestly I can´t remember the last Time I had this feeling struggling me.It´s like a deep pain in my heart that can´t set me free.I've been told to face problems rather than run away.I did it and doesn't work.I don´t want to carry them for a long time so all I need is find the way to solve them out. sooner or later.

Now in my bed having a look at the Spanish magazine " Hello" listening to the radio novaplanet on line and getting mad about the new shiniest Penelope's hairstyle.Isn't it lovely?.I want it too... Love the curls and highlights.she looks pretty..I´m tired now and not in the best mood sooooo

It's time to turn off the lights

A Christmas Carol

2009-11-12T07:42:00.000-08:00

We're going to the cinema tonight. Nat, Michael and me just straight way after work. Well, Michael has decided to go to the gym first . Let's say the movie starts around 18:25 so we've plenty of time to wander around and do some shopping.

I must admit that I'm quite tired today and Itchying all over.I found out I got some kinda allergic reaction since I've been using the bare minerals.I'm quite scared beeing honest.I've got red itchy spots over my chest and neck!! Ohh Gosh!! it's driving me crazy .I'll stop using them for a while just till see how it's going.

I love the idea of seeing a Christmas movie right before Christmas time.Makes me more touchy-feely.I've always loved Charles Dickens so I've no doubt I'will love the new 3D version.

2009-11-11T06:14:00.000-08:00

I 've heard tons of comments about bare Minerals how wonderful they are .They seem to do miracles in your Skin.Higly recommended for uneven oily/sensitive skin. I'm one of those women who still have spots at 30!!! How terrible sounds that... I was completely desperate so I decided to take the risk. Give it a chance!.
I've been using L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mineral Powder Makeup for the last 6 months but I was kind of tired and the spots are still there. I spent 65 Euros on the starter kit.I find it quite messy but feels very light on my skin.Hope it's worth it!

Can't wait!!!

2009-11-10T07:44:00.000-08:00

I'm exited!!!! Shouldn't be cause everything is wrong with me.Leaving that aside You know What? I'm heading out to London in few weeks time !! I'm just now planning where to buy all I've got on mind. Of course I'll take the chance to get all my christmas presents but Let's start putting something grey in my new life... there we go...

MONDAY & RAINY MORNING

2009-10-26T06:52:00.000-07:00

I’ve no idea what to do when the weather is so terrible and for some reason you don’t have any possibility to recover yourself from an insane and crazy weekend. Probably stay in bed with Mrs. Blanket doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the day. Having said that I think it’s been fantastic given the circumstances. I wish I could have had more time to enjoy the jazz festival in town because these year headliners were stunning. Al di Meola, Fun loving criminals, Imelda May between over 120 acts appearing on 28 stages spread throughout the Festival. But honestly I can say the weekend wasn’t too bad apart from the ceaseless hangover.
We had a Great time !! I ‘ll post some pictures next time ! Promise !!
It’s raining again guys and I ‘d love to be nice and warm dreamming awake…

ROME

2009-02-03T10:47:00.001-08:00

Por fin casi casi recuperada, diría yo, de mi viaje relámpago a Roma.Ayer quería sentarme a contaros todas mis impresiones pero no tuve energías.Fue mi primera toma de contacto con la ciudad ya que prometí volver a conocerla por dentro más profundamente y me gustó.
Dejémoslo ahí porque ya ha habido suficiente polémica en el trabajo con mis comentarios.
Se tiende siempre a comparar con otras ciudades europeas y las comparaciones son odiosas.
De todo, me quedo con el café.Un poco escaso para mi gusto.ah!! y el Papa.. que religión a un lado, me hizo gracia encontrármelo por sorpresa.No es que me lo que me lo encontrara en la calle sino que fui al vaticano y ahí estaba charlando de sus cosas.Como no me lo esperaba ...
Me hubiera encantado hacer fotos de la belleza italiana,looks, tiendas, gente.... pero tuve algún que otro problemilla con la cámara así que para la próxima vez ya me llevo la lección aprendida.Mala suerte. Para mala suerte la mía que para una vez que encuentro unos vaqueros que me gustan,más o menos. costaban 180 euros!! Los iba a comprar menos mal que me aconsejaron mejor que me gastara los 180 eurines en otra cosa... y allí se quedaron los Miss Sixty con el dependiente romano guapísimo que me ayudó a buscar y rebuscar entre pares y pares de jeans.

BOUTIQUE BURLESQUE

2009-01-29T13:44:00.000-08:00

El look de esta chica era asombroso.Parecía recién llegada del pasado en la máquina del tiempo.

Está es la pareja que más me llamó la atención.Super simpáticos en todo momento.Y yo creo que se acababan de conocer.Fijaros en el sombrero. El chico en cuestión me recordaba algun actor conocido cuyo nombre no me viene a la cabeza en este momento.Lo que si creo es que tien un aire a Robin Hood que me cautivó.

Ayer noche estuve de fiesta...La verdad es que fue genial.Fue un espectáculo basado en Swing y años 20.La gente iba auténticamente disfrazada.Predominaban las Boas,sombreros y demás complementeos.Mucho Color Rojo y mucha gente,Por cierto.

Yo me porté bien.Sólo tomé 2 diet coke así que hoy he podido con el transcurso del día.

Mereció la pena 100%.Estuve aprendiendo a bailar swing, ví al clon de Frank Sinatra que desfainaba un poquito.Y los outfit eran para morirte.De donde saca la gent tanto tiempo para arreglarse tanto y tan bien?.Os dejo unas fotitos para que lo comprobéis.

Me encanto, La verdad.Todo gracias a Las chicas que me animaron a salir entre semana.Creo que repetiré.

Mañana viajo a Roma para Pasar el Wkend.No tengo nada preparado.No sé que llevar en la maleta.Soy un desatre pero tengo unas ganas infinitas de ver el sol y comerme un gellato alla vaniglia que no os podéis ni imaginar.También aprovecharé para hacerme con alguna nueva adquisición.Y el shopping está garantizado.Ya os traeré algún souvenir y os daré buen detalle de mi hoja de ruta.
Arrivederci ragazzi!!

Hoy casi nos calcinamos en el trabajo.Ha sonado la alarma de incendios y hemos tenido que salir corriendo.Yo no tengo ni la más remota idea de donde ha salido el fuego.Y mi querida amiga Natale estaba tan contenta.

Lo más divetido de todo es que yo no me acordaba de donde tenía que ir.Se supone que ibamos por grupos y orden alfabético y yo me Me he entretenido por ahí.Finalmente no ha sido nada grave aunque me he encontrado con más de una cara de susto.Menos mal.
Mirándolo por el lado bueno.Hoy ha sido un día diferente.

Mañana me enteraré mejor de lo que ha pasado exactamente y os lo contaré en breve.

LIYA KEBEDE

2009-01-27T10:53:00.000-08:00

NO me gustan nada ni los tópicos ni las generalidades.

Hoy compienzo escribiendo tajantemente porque me horrorizan tanto los estereotipos como etiquetas.No logro entender por qué la raza humana tiende a comportarse de una manera determinada sólo porque sí o porque no sabemos decir que no o porque así me lo enseñaron en la escuela o por cultura .. o por un largo etcétera.

¿Qué me dices de los tópicos?. ¿Por qué la belleza va ligada a la estupidez?

Yo no tengo las respuestas, pero sólo sé que cada uno de nosotros somos únicos en nuestra especie y que hay gente sencillamente maravillosa por el mundo. Bella por dentro y por fuera.

Todo lo dicho me sirve para hablar de Liya Kebede.Modelo nacida en la capital de Etiopía.28 años ,casada y con dos niños.Liya ha puesto en marcha una fundación que lucha para combatir la mortalidad en niños y madres en todo el mundo y que trabaja para mejorar su salud y bienestar.

Como seguidora de la moda como forma de expresión puedo decir que adoro a Liya no sólo por su sencillez en sus outfits sino también por su singularidad humana.

Aquí os dejo algunas muestras de liya,también podéis echar un vistazo en la web de su fundación.

Liya,Iman,Naomi....Un mero ejemplo de La belleza Negra.Que adoro.

BEAUTIFUL COPENHAGEN

2009-01-26T10:40:00.000-08:00

Copenhagen es una ciudad que posee multitud de tesoros arquitectónicos ,muchos de ellos reflejados en sus estatuas y fuentes.Esta ciudad encierra un encanto singular y sus gentes así la definen.
El hogar de la sirenita tiene más bicicletas que coches en horas pico.Un poco más de un tercio de la población acude al trabajo en bicicleta todos los días, y los otros dos tercios toman el transporte público.
Aquí tienes una prueba del estilo Danés en bicicleta. Isn´t it Cool?
Durante estos dias voy a mostraros un montón de fotos que he ido recopilando en mis últimos viajes.Qué mejor manera que conocer la cultura y la forma de vida de un pais que através de sus gentes.Me fascina obsevar el comportamiento humano y más aún cuando Viajo a un nuevo país. Alguien dijo en algún momento que Si quieres tener una idea global del país, empieza por conocer a sus gentes...

Absolutamente adorable...
