Thesis on hold... for now I have an headache on fire.
Hi! I would like to welcome all the people who just recently started visiting my page ;) And thank all those who keep me going!
Talking about that... Sometimes people really inspire me without even knowing it. And this post is a bit about it.
I put a hold on the party recipes series to present this dinner I made at home back before Easter for me and my lovely brothers.
You know... I thought they would really hate it.
I had just arrived in Aveiro from Munich and both my parents were travelling to different corners of the world. There was some salmon in the fridge that was somehow meant to be grilled.
Of course it didn't turn that way. Thing is: I prefer raw salmon 1000x over the cooked one. And it's always impossible to try daring - read unconventional upon sight - recipes when I'm cooking for my parents, so I shortly convinced my brothers we would try something different ;)
Back to where I started... on the people who really inspire me without noticing... This was the recipe that made me come back after months of desertion. I mean, there was this guy who really talked me into coming back because he thought this dish looked nice. Today, I want to thank him :)
