It's all about FOOD

Finally i can post some of the food that we have been cooking lately. I love to cook, but sometimes i just don't find the time. Last Thursday we watched a series in university, called Black Mirror (episode: White Christmas). For anyone who likes weird movies that make you think, this one is very, very creepy but cool. The episodes are not based on each other, but they all are technology related. I think it's super interesting to watch, because technology nowadays is evolving so fast and we don't know where it will lead us in the future. Our lovely teacher Ricardo brought us orange brownies, so i decided to do my classic yogurt-cocunut cake. 

Coconut-yogurt cake recipe
1 cup of yogurt (natural or greek)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup coconut rasps
1/2 cup oil 
1 package vanillin sugar
1 package backing powder
3 eggs (egg white)

Mix everything except the eggs. After separating the egg yolk from the egg white, beat until fluffy. Then carefully add it to the mixture. Put everything in the oven for about 40min on 160°C. I always add white chocolate and either fruits or dark chocolate (double chocolate!!), but you can get creative and put any fruits or toppings you like.


Spring rolls 

What you need:
Ricepaper
Cucumber
Prawns
Soybeans
Salad
Basil
Ricenoodles
Mint
Hoisin sauce (or any other asian sauce you like)

Cook the prawns (if not pre-cooked)and the rice noodles. When finished, put a rice paper in water. After 20-30 seconds it is soft, put it on a plate and fill with the ingredients. There is no right way of doing it, we just added what we had in the fridge and what we think goes together. One more time: be creative! (In my opinion that's what cooking is about)


Hotelschool pays off... haha

Learning how to skate (or trying not to look like a fool)

Everyone skates in Barcelona, and when i say everyone i mean everyone. Even a lot of girls can be seen, standing super cool on their skateboards while eating an ice-cream. Besides the look, it's also super useful, because it's way quicker than walking and you can take your skateboard everywhere. Luckily i had a couple of beers before i started my first skateboard lesson, which i believe made it more easy for me. It was actually a lot of fun and i wouldn't stop practicing until my friend asked for her board :D 






Some friends promised to teach me, so i will keep on trying..

Summer is about to hit the city

People are wearing shorts, dresses and sunglasses. Almost in every corner you find some musicians, tourists start to annoy everyone and the sun rises early. Yes, i am talking about summer. The past days it felt like you can literally watch how the summer slowly hits the city. I love this time of the year, because it is not too hot and you can see the rising excitement and happiness in the peoples faces. While walking through the city i always find something new that amazes me. My favourite was the moment, when i saw the small girl starring at a random guy playing the violin in the streets. She was so fascinated and did not look away once, while i was passing by.
The little girl was so impressed by the man playing the violin

420

First of all: Happy 420 to everyone out there!I hope everyone enjoys  my favourite Holliday ;)

The past days were awesome. Barcelona is the only city i know so far, where you can have so much fun, even when you are completely broke. Tanning at Barceloneta, drinking beer on the streets or watching skaters and other interesting people at MACBA. 


Good night with good people.

Back in Barcelona

Yesterday was my last day in Amsterdam. We had a great time and i already miss my friends. But I will come back soon, for sure. 
Today we chilled at Barceloneta before university, so that wasn't too bad either :D
Tomorrow morning we will go running to Barceloneta and then do some exercises in the outdoor gym there! I am quite excited if it works out how we are planning it...

DIY Jewellery

Me and my friend Eva recently started to do our own jewellery. Soon we want to sell it on flea markets or maybe on the beach. It is super easy to make, we just collected nice stones at Barceloneta and  bought some wires. They are also perfect as an unique, personal presents for friends or family.
