Busy, busy October

Since October began, there was a lot going on at home.
A new movie on Saturday night.



A family gathering just for fun on Sunday. Tea, cakes and bread.

A weekend spent in Pehuajo. A rural community, 360 km from Buenos Aires.



Famous writer and composer, Maria Elena Walsh wrote her song "Manuelita". Here it´s a city tribute to this famous child character. A statue of the turtle Manuelita ".... who lived in Pehuajo but someday she left it.....".


Pehuajo´s church, San Anselmo.

And now, back in Buenos Aires, with new recipes to cook.....

Toasted coconut cookies from a blog I follow http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/.

And some bread because the freezer is empty!!!

And last but not least, here in Argentina on Sunday it´s Mother´s Day, so...... barbecue, desserts and family. Yuppi!!!!!!!!
See you soon my friends.

Wonderful idea from Celia.

In my kitchen this month.....





A yummy tangerine cake. New recipe.

In my kitchen....



Chocolate treats from my Ravelry invisible friend.

An Olympic dream/ Un sueño olímpico

My post today isn´t about knitting or cooking or my daily routine....No!

It´s about a dream.

The dream of young men who love sports and sailing first of all.
Young men who left their country, their families, their routine.... following a dream. Not an easy dream. A very big and difficult one.

It´s a challenge.
An Olympic dream!

Please I ask you all to pay attention to them.
Take some minutes of your time and enter this link:
Support an Olympic dream!
Just by sharing the link you´ll be contributing to make this dream come  true.
Thanks!!!


Mi post de hoy no es sobre tejidos o cocina o mi rutina diaria....No!

Es acerca de un sueño.

El sueño de varios jovenes que aman el deporte y la navegación por encima de todo.
Chicos jovenes que dejaron su país, su hogar, sus amigos, sus rutinas para perseguir un sueño.
No es uno fácil. Es más bien grande y difícil.

Todo un desafío.
Un sueño olímpico!
Simplemente les pido que se tomen unos minutos y entren a este link:
Con sólo compartirlo ya estarán poniendo su granito de arena para que ese sueño se haga realidad.
Gracias!

In my kitchen.....September

In my kitchen, is a wonderful idea from Celia.
I love the opportunity she give us, to peek in other kitchens from all over the world, to  learn new recipes, to know new countries, cultures and people.

In my kitchen, es una idea genial de Celia.
Amo la oportunidad que nos da de chusmear en cocinas ajenas, aprender nuevas recetas, conocer países, culturas y a su gente.

Last month I went to visit my eldest, as you know she lives in Mijas (Málaga, Spain).
As always (OMG! why I carry the camera but I forget it in my bag every time I need it!) I took no pictures,but I did my best to enjoy spanish food.

El mes pasado fui a visitar a mi hija mayor, como ya saben vive en Mijas, España.
Como siempre no saqué ni una foto. Por qué será que llevo la cámara y la olvido en lo profundo de mi cartera...
Pese a no sacar fotos, hice todo lo posible para disfrutar de la cocina española.

I ate lots of seafood: "paella", "gambas" etc, etc.

Comí cantidades increíbles de pescados, mariscos, paella, etc, etc.

But IKEA is my paradise.
I visit it every time I go to Ceci´s house. Obviously there are things that I cann-t carry in my luggage, but.....I can buy small gadgets for my kitchen!

Pero mi paraíso es IKEA.
Me doy una vuelta cada vez que visito a Ceci. Obviamente no puedo cargar en mi valija la mayoría de las cosas que venden ahí, pero siempre me las arreglo para comprar pequeños elementos para mi cocina y el resto de la casa!

And here they are:

Measuring cups 

spatula and brush

Fried onions


Sweets treats/Tarifa old city 

IKEA mini market

Not at all in my kitchen but in my heart remained the good moments we enjoyed together: eating, shopping, talking or simply at the beach or by the pool.
Tarifa old city
Thanks Ceci and Martin for a wonderful time. I love you both!

Vacaciones de invierno...winter holidays!

Just enjoying my winter holidays!!
Days are cloudy and foggy but nevertheless I ´m happy.
Disfrutando mi semana de vacaciones.
Los días son nublados y neblinosos pero estoy chocha.

At home I knit while I watch tv or Netflix.
Last movie was :

Me quedo en casa tejiendo mientras miro la tele o Netflix.
La última película fue ésta.

I meet dear friends that usually I have no time to see.
Me encuentro con amigos que no veo usualmente durante el año....

Lunch in a cozy, healthy, vegan restaurant: Hierbabuena
Almuerzos en lugares nuevos. Aquí, Hierbabuena, un resto en San Telmo de comida saludable y abundante, además de rica.







 I had time with my eldest grandchild, visiting "La Rural", a sort of Farm Market but bigger!
 Tiempo de paseo con nieto mayor.


And having delicious naps from time to time, not my usual kind of thing!
Y alguna que otra siesta....nada usual para mí!

See you soon my friends.
Hasta pronto.
