Chicago Now. Trying to live a bilingual/bicultural life with an ocean between my legs.
One of the ways I remain attached to Spain is thro One of the ways I remain attached to Spain is through food. In my mom’s house it is not summer until she makes gazpacho, and I brought her recipe with me. I like it traditional an simple. How do you like yours? What food brings you back home? [Link in bio] Una de las maneras de mantener mi vínculo con España es la comida. En casa de mi madre no es verano hasta que no hace gazpacho, y me he traído su receta. Me gusta tradicional y sencillo. ¿Cómo os gusta a vosotros? ¿Qué comida os lleva de vuelta a casa? #gazpacho #soup #coldsoup #spanishfood #spanishcooking #homemade #comidacasera #vegetablesmoothie #comidaespañola #cocinaespañola #verano #morriña #nestinginchicago

It took fifteen minutes to get the picture half right, and a lot of complaints, but also many laughs (see stories). Now I just wish I could make quilts like that one... Solo han sido dos noches, pero nos hacía muchísima falta salir de casa. Me costó quince minutos sacar una foto medio decente, eso sin contar las protestas. Pero también nos reímos mucho. Y ya me gustaría saber hacer quilts como ese... #michigan #minivacation #escapada #brothers #hermanos #momoffourboys #summer #verano #coronavirus #covid19 #coronasummer #longlivelonghairedboys #realabrecipient #family #familia
Summer breakfasts are always better. Not having to Summer breakfasts are always better. Not having to rush out of the door means we have time to fix it and enjoy it. Rainier cherries remind me of the cherry trees we had when I was little, and how much I loved eating them out of the tree. Right now at the table there is a heated conversation about The Mandalorian and Star Wars and Legos. So be it. Me encantan los desayunos en verano. Sin prisas, sin correr, con tiempo para prepararlos y disfrutarlos. Las cerezas rainier me recuerdan a las que comíamos directamente del cerezo de mis padres cuando era pequeña. Ahora mismo, en la mesa hay una animada conversación sobre El Mandalorian, Star Wars y legos. Y aunque me he perdido hace mucho rato, da gusto oírla. #summer #verano #cerezas #breakfast #food #healthyish #desayuno #comida #familia #family
