I have been hibernating for the last few months, n I have been hibernating for the last few months, not feeling like going anywhere. But today I had to run some errands, and we got to try a new coffee shop in the neighborhood. I have to say that it felt truly European, and both the vibe, the coffee and the pain au chocolat were perfect. The kind of place that will lift anyone’s mood. 🥐🇫🇷 Llevaba todo el invierno en plan marmota y con pocas ganas de salir, pero hoy tocaba hacer un recado, y como la cafetería nueva del barrio quedaba cerca, hemos ido a verla. Casi casi me ha hecho sentir en Europa. El sitio precioso, el café bien hecho, y la mejor napolitana de chocolate que he probado aquí. Y mira que he probado napolitanas… #chicago #lincolnpark #armitage #coffeeshop #bakery #bollitos #frenchbakery #pasteleriafrancesa #painauchocolat @maisonparisienne
The joy of cooking… I love cooking, and I love e The joy of cooking… I love cooking, and I love entertaining. I had forgotten how much. I hadn’t cooked Peruvian food in a very long time. @irenesancheztv I think that somehow I believed that my food broke your foot 😅. But the other day I had superb papas a la huancaina at @beatnikrestaurants and I had to make some. @isabel_zeb I still use your recipe, which I like better than any from a cooking book. I discovered Peruvian food in 2004, while visiting Peru with friends. And since then it is my favorite in the whole wide world. But going back to the joy of cooking… The joy of cooking is not in the food. It is in the people you share the food, and the experience with. ❤️👩🏻‍🍳 Todo el rollo de arriba viene a decir que lo mejor de cocinar es la gente con la que compartes la comida. Y que con la pandemia casi se nos había olvidado. #peruvianfood #comidaperuana #huancaina #ajidegallina #causa #cooking #cocina #homemade #comidacasera #amigos #friends
Y para terminar aún mejor el día, cena en Chicag Y para terminar aún mejor el día, cena en Chicago con una amiga de esas de toda la vida. De esas con las que te metiste en todos los líos posibles, y corriste aventuras y juergas. De las que te conocen desde hace treinta años (iba a escribir veinte, pero no 😬), y con las que retomas la conversación exactamente donde la dejaste hace seis mese. Un placer tenerte por aquí, @d_i_x_x_x The best way to end a snowy weekend? Having dinner in Chicago with a childhood friend from Spain. ❤️
