Barcelona. A cosy place. A place of astonishing architecture. The place where the sea, meets us – small, little humans. Barcelona – something larger than us, something that will be there for ages to come. Something that brings history, spirit and a little sadness for me personally. I immediately felt home in Barcelona. The lemons, the…
La Boqueria Food Market in Barcelona
This market is located just off the most famous street in Barcelona – La Rambla, and what I liked about it was that it reminded me about my childhood. When I was little we had market like that in my home town, and it would be open every Saturday and Wednesday. It would have booths…
Spiral
Life. A tornado of people. Some good. Some bad. And where is the difference in the end? Was there really a difference or did you make that up in order to feel like everything makes sense, seldom, at least. They come, they go. Sometimes they stay. But just for a while. Do we take something…
Georgetown Cupcake
Georgetown with its rich history and fantastic architecture, along with the Potomac River, narrow bridges and many many shopping stops make the perfect home for a cupcake shop. I was introduced to this place by my friend Alejandro, who took me there to taste one of their signature cupcakes. Why might you have heard of…
Cosmos – one of the good ones
It doesn’t happen often enough for me to find a truly good place to eat. Especially here in Sofia. And don’t get me wrong, there are probably tons of good places with nice atmosphere and good food that are waiting to be discovered. Whatever the reason for me not to discover them too often might…
Creme Brûlée
So, the famous Creme Brûlée. It is a famous French dessert, or English desert – depending on the point of view (Creme Anglaise). And while it is heavenly tasty, and the recipe for it is at the level of a kindergartner’s remembering skills: it requires knowledge of cooking egg creams, which I do not have,…
Twelve things I would like to do before I die
Don’t we all have set goals? Things we wish to accomplish, that we always think we have enough time to do. That we always look forward to in a strange way. Like we would look forward to witnessing real magic, or one day learning the meaning of life? My ten things are listed below, and…
The magical Rila monastery
If you are a tourist coming to Bulgaria, or simply religious Christian, the Rila monastery should be a must in your visiting list. Not only because of it’s religious meaning or because of it being cherished architectural and historical monument that is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage list, but because of the spirit of another World…
Madeleines – Gordon Ramsay style.
The Madeleines are traditional French cookies. Small sponge-like cakes with the typical shape of shells. The story goes that Louis XV called this tiny pastry “Madeleine” for the first time in 1755 in honor of his father-in-law’s cook Paulmier Madeleine. Is this true? I do not know, however, I know they are not just delicious, but…
Salmon, please.
Today’s modest – yet very delicious dinner is: roasted salmon with potato salad and lettuce salad sides. Salmon is not a food that is widely popular here in Bulgaria, and it only became a thing few years ago. Yet, as I found out, this is my favorite fish to have in any form and moreover…
Boston and the unique mixture
As a human being living in a tiny small country, USA has always amazed me with its distances. The lone fact that one can drive over 10 hours just to get from town A to town B, just mesmerizes me. And this is exactly the case of our trip from Rehoboth beach, DE to Boston,…
Rehoboth beach, Delaware
If someone ever asked me: Where is the place, where you changed? Where did you become what you are now? Where have you had the most amazing time of your life? The answer to all these will be – Rehoboth. Rehoboth beach is a small town by the ocean in Delaware. Because it is located…
DIY: Love is in the air
The elephant is in the room. Valentine’s day is approaching, and while in Bulgaria we have another great holiday to celebrate on the same day and some prefer it (wine day!), today’s DIY is entirely inspired by love. I would like to call it Lovelier.. .as in chandelier of love..well I am corny. Sorry. So,…
Amsterdam and a sleepy Bulgarian
As you may be able to tell from the title of this brief article – I was very very sleepy when I visited Amsterdam, as I was just returning from a long stay in USA. I will give you a piece of advice here: Please, if you are going to visit a place, any place,…
Depression – what helps me.
I think in today’s day and age depression is a very common issue. And before I start writing about it I want to clarify that, by writing about my experience with depression, I do not mean to upset anyone, or make their experience less important. Just the opposite. I would be as happy as possible if this…
