wild mushroom + lemon poppyseed pistachio

People only tend to be served alcohol in a shot class. Why not create a mini appetizer?

I took the the lemon poppyseed recipe and added my own twist to it. I added some ground pistachios and some dried cranberries. You can make this recipe as a cake but I always opt to bake them in a muffin tray for ease.

Sleepy Old Man @ Starbucks

Is this the cutest thing or what? When I grow old I want to be just like him. I couldn't help but notice his two mobile phones. Clearly the coffee had no effect on him whatsoever.

Starbucks Red Cup

It's kind of become a tradition hasn't it? It's like the unofficial kick off to the holiday season. Even though i'm miles away from my bestie, this made me smile...reminds me of the good old days when we'd sit and gossip with our peppermint mochas or our gingerbread latte's. Unfotunately the holiday beverage selection is different here in Barcelona. So this is my toffee nut latte. I usually don't fancy going to Starbucks here. I mean, why would you? There are great coffee shops everywhere with much better coffee (in my opinion).

happy thanksgiving

My dear friend invited me to celebrate Thanksgiving with her and some other folks. We spent the day cooking, drinking and gossiping. What a great way to spend the day. And the best part of it is sharing the fruits of your labour with dear friends.

Next Leg

Although tempting, it was a bit chilly to take a dip that morning.

What a great morning to wake up to. The sun is shining, the air is crips. What more could you ask for?


After a delicious and filling breakfast we were ready to plan the next leg of our trip, with a hot cup of coffee.


I was surprised to see there was a post box for such a deserted town (if you could call it that).

We rushed over to the town of Uzès to grab some dinner before everything shut down for the night.

Don't you just love it when your parents hang up your art work? I thought this was very cute and naturally had to photograph it.

Le Jardin



The colours and the view are just priceless. Gives you that feeling of the simple life. The last picture was actually the view from the shower. Talk about a tranquil experience.
