It’s week 3 of //my weekly muffin// project and I bookmarked more than half of the recipes I will need for the whole year. Some ask for ingredients I know nothing about, some are savory (are those really muffins, anyway?), some [...]

{books into movies} the time traveler's wife

A favorite from my reading list last year and from my archives. Time is of the essence, as they say. It’s one of the things that limit our lives and potential, or at least our ability to grasp life and potential in an unrestricted manner. The unidirectional, continuous and unstoppable flow of time is the only [...]

{lifestyle} Outdoor living

I know, I live in a flat, with no garden and plants usually don’t have a long life around me. But a girl can dream, right? About a green, peaceful garden, with a rocking chair and an umbrella, to read or write or dream and or walk barefoot on the freshly cut grass. And receiving [...]

{local artists} Papuchette

This week, I am coming back to my country and inviting a local artist in my humble online home. Please welcome Dana Stavaru, the pair of hard-working hands behind Papuchette.

What I loved about {greece}

Today I am revisiting the archives again and traveling by thought to Greece, in the Sporades. Boating in the Aegean Sea was an incredible experience. During the last week of August, I went boating with some friends in the Sporades (three big islands in the Aegean Sea, Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos). We rented a boat [...]

{the weekly muffin} choco-sponge

For this week’s muffin recipe, I used one of my grandma’s choco sponge cake recipes, which she calls Italian cake. The texture is soft and tender, the cocoa taste is strong enough, and the frosting is just what the doctor prescribed. First, melt 1 pack margarine (250g), add 320g sugar, 100ml milk and 3 tablespoons [...]

{inspiration} in a cup of infinitea

Remembering the times I used to sip tea, not a care in the world. A post from late summer 2011, about a serendipitous discovery in the busy, ever busy Bucharest. A lovely teahouse, hidden in a lovely house, with antique furniture and a secluded backdoor garden. Flowers in tea pots, magical liquors in tea pots, chocolate chip [...]
