Engaging a new perspective

This weekend was reserved to:

1. Try a new transport, since my current one is not at its best;

2. To barbecue, and having a homemade pie of fresh blueberries;

3. Remembering how yoga makes me feel so much better;

4. Work for a little while;

5. Having fun in the kitchen with him.

And these are the reasons why my life is so full and I have a hard time to rest. I feel it is such a waste of my time.

Blackberries, “vou dizer ao teu pai que já nAMORAS!”

I managed to pass last week’s food in season. If I recall it correctly, my guess is that it was broad beans, which are pretty awesome as well. Unfortunately – or just because my brainstorm on recipes did not move towards them – I haven’t bought any broad beans for this entire year. Maybe it is about time to change that. I am sure I am still on time to get pretty good ones.

In any case, this week is dedicated to one of my very favourite fruits – I LOVE BERRIES!!! Specially in they are dark: blueberries, black currants, blackberries, you name them and I eat them! Oh yeah, I love that dark, rough, bitter, overwhelming flavour…oh la la!

Funny enough, I bought the best blackberries ever on the day Eat the Seasons announced this week’s food. It was just by chance, believe. I saw them laying on the stand – with an extremely expensive price in the tag, but who cares? (that’s another issue I may possibly discuss in a near future) – and I just couldn’t resist. After a run, what better could I have asked for? I ate some and guess what, I froze the rest. I am that kind of person that always leaves the best to the end. By freezing berries in season (or any other fruit, for that matter), I can enjoy the best of them later in the year. Oh dear freezer, I guess you’ll get pretty full if I keep seeing these beauties around.

“– Gostas de amoras? Vou dizer ao teu pai que já namoras.”

– Epah, diz à vontade, porque eu AMO amoras!”

Fireworks and fairy tales

In need of some deep thoughts. This is not the place to be, but it's good enough to get inspired to take some pictures.

Shooting in the dark is in my top, no doubts.
Oh, and the Olympics started. Good luck, folks!

Plain & simple

3 warm coloured ingredients, just because I am lazy… Just sometimes.

Nice workouts, by the way. Thanks to you!

Day 8 -eintroducing lean proteins

Fresh new start.

Now that I can add seafood and legumes to my diet, I can satisfy my craving for something bigger. Running/jogging with only smoothies was not an easy step, by sure worth trying. It actually increased my awareness of how food affects me and my daily activities.

I am loving this!
