Sushi mania



Hello boys and girls!

I hope you are having a good day so far and a easy week. I woke up today with the desire of Sushiiii!!! I just love them, I don't know who doesn't. I can always eat sushi, it's the only thing that even when I'm full if somebody says "Sushi" I'm the first one jumping "Me, me, me!!!!" Me with sushi... I feel like Monterey Jack, the rat from the Chip and Dale cartoon , that was going hypnotized when he was smelling"Cheeseeee" :D


 I discovered the sushi a long time ago, and it was love at 1st sight. Ever since I could eat sushi everyday. During these years I've tried to taste sushi almost in each place that I visit, trying to find the Absolutely Best ones.

I must say I found around the world a few places that impressed me to the point of culinary madness.Today i'll mention a few but there are lots more good ones. Best one so far is still:
  1. SUSHIC- from Portugal. This place is nearly to perfection, It's a fusion sushi restaurant that has a Gin Bar and Live Jazz music, What else could you wish for??? I don't know where they get the inspiration but they do a hell of a job. The  Gins are so creative and so well chosen the combinations that you can't say NO to a second one, the music is great, is calm and easy just to make the ambient more perfect and then the Sushi!!!!  Those sushi, those combinations and tastes take you to heaven and back. Everything is so fresh and so inspired. In one single roll you can feel so many different sensations, Crispy on the outside, Rich on the inside and soo Velvety on the top, just Divine!!!  I strongly recommend it cause once you go there you never wanna leave.

My New York!



Empire State of Mind

   How lucky you are when you find a place to live where you feel like "That's where i belong", a place that makes you happy, that brings you joy and excitement, a place that has an uncountable number of things and things that you could do, places to visit, where you can live years and years and still to be a "new" place with continuously great things to discover, to explore. A place that has that Magic every time you stop for a second to look at its views, the beauty, the panoramas that take your breath away and you never get tired of seeing it even if its hundreds and hundreds of times. But then when you have to leave this place, move somewhere else...how do you deal with it? where do you find that excitement again? How do you convince yourself that it's for the best? Do you get used to the new place? You accept it? You look for something else that would give you the same feelings? or you find a way to go back, even for a little while?
I left my heart in New York and for me that place will always Special, a place with lots of happy memories, a super awesome place where i'll always return with joy. A place of my own, a place where i will always feel like The place where i belong.

Good Morning!

 Have Happy Day wherever you are!

Be a bride, be a princess!!!





   Morning girls!!!

  I say girls cause today we will talk "Girls Stuff" :) Guys you are welcome as well, you could learn things about "our things" and give some opinions too, why not? We don't absolutely promise to listen to it but we will definitely consider it. :)
I was listening to Michael Buble last night with this song, "To be loved" and i remembered the amazing Bridal Show of Pronovias in Barcelona of this year that had this song for the presentation.

  I've been running over the Bridal websites and visited salons for quite a while and i must say...i am impressed in a good and bad way. Some dresses are amazing and some...are a nightmare. These years some of the designers took their job really to another turn on the bridal design.  Lace, multi-textured trains, chic embroidery, flurry, silhouette, nude tones,sexy open-back designs, elegant, playful, vintage style, fabulous, sophisticated, glamorous.
There are a looot of dresses, there really are on everyone's taste. All you have to do it pick, what do you wanna be on your wedding day? You wanna be a princes, a queen?  You can be anything you want, you will look gorgeous anyway.

Orange recovery!!





Hey hey hey!!!
I'm back again after a close to 24 hours plane and road trip. I'm almost starting getting used to this 24 hours trips that seem forever, but they still get me to a point where i feel like a kid that doesn't have patience just to sit on the chair anymore, don't wanna sleep, don't wanna read, don't wanna write, don't wanna watch movies anymore, don't have patience for anything. Having plane food (if they give) machine cappuccino and the wait can be so hard, but we all know that as painful as it can be the excitement of the destination we reach and the things that we see until we get there brings us a satisfaction that beats the feeling of tiredness, wait and impatience.

 

 So today, on top of a 9 hour bus trip, 5 hours wait, i sit in the plane and somebody right before taking off starts eating an orange. "Jesuus!!!" that aromatic perfume spread all over the plane made me almost drool for an orange. I've been Cravingggg!!!! for one for about 4 hours...i could already feel the juiciness of a sweet orange in my mouth pinching all my taste buds.
So what you think? With the luggage in 1 hand and 10 kilos backpack in my back my 1st stop was not home, was at the store downstairs where i got a bag of oranges. Of course i prefer the Portuguese oranges from the garden  but since we don't have them here, i picked some of the best they had in the store.

Happy Easter good people!


Today's post is gonna be a bit different than the usual themes. Today i wanna congratulate all the people that celebrated Easter by the Orthodox calendar yesterday and are still celebrating today . It's been 3 years since i haven't been home for this holiday. I kinda missed the whole process of preparing for this holiday with lots of food, traditions, gardening around the house meeting everybody that i didn't see in long time, going to the church to get the blessing on the food after weeks of feasting, family together. Its a beautiful holiday where people become better, you find more harmony between each other, peace in the souls and hearts, we stay in peace with each other, we clean our spirits ready to start a new way for the next year.

Weddings and weather!



Hello again beautiful people!

Today i come out later a bit. i hope you all had a great Easter Sunday and for those who didn't celebrate it yet, just a few more days till the big day of EATING and celebrating.
Today i will talk to you about weather and weddings. I live in a country now where weather is not normal. It's a schizophrenic weather as a friend is saying, or you can call it a joke, cause literally one minute is raining, the next one is snowing and in a half a minute its a sun like in July.
Not funny!!! Well might not be funny for us but in days like this i think a lot about brides, especially in weekends.Who doesn't want a perfect wedding outside, with perfect photo-shooting. We all think about the wedding day as the most special day of our lives, when every single detail has to be perfect. We need a fairytale, where we are the princesses and where nothing can go wrong. And we all know that weddings outside can be absolutely magical but when the only thing that you can't control happens, then what do we do? How do you deal with it? How you prevent the wet wedding dress, muddy shoes, running mascara, spoiled hairstyle?

Love and food!


Hello people !

What inspires you day by day? What gives you real pleasure when doing it?

Me, i think i have too many things that do that for me, one of them is food. And it's not Just food, it's new food, try new cuisines, fancy plating in a manner to make me fall in love...food that can make me fly away in my mind to Italy, Thailand, Portugal, France, Vietnam or Seychelles...where amazing food, warm beach or stunning city and the perfect person next to you can write history and a love story
