This and that

I have not sleep enough because I have to finish some bolsters for yoga, I should have done it earlier, but this is the kind of work I don't enjoy much, to repeat and repeat like a sushi robot.

Anyway, I didn't have much on the house to make lunch today. Mu mom gave me her juice extractor so I had some carrot pulp and I wanted to use it. So I mix it with eggs little potatoes, zuchini, grated cheese, rosemary, oregano and salt in a oven glass container.
In a pan I cook a little some chopped onion, garlic and peppers on olive oil and add that too.


Revoltijo

And the the I cook it in the oven for 20-30 minutes, it end up very well.


Quiché de verduras

And, since I already had the oven hot I made some brownies with almond pulp left form the other day's milk.

Almuerzo

It was delicious.

Pastel con harina almendra

It's been very hot and sunny around here these days, so I look like I went to the beach.


Mi pies de colores

I continue to work also on the Art Wall on which all the order of my living room depends, but it's a long project.
 
What about you?, what have you been doing?

Painful conversations

-Yes, sweet love, it is.

Collecting seeds from what you eat

The other I was ask on my technique to collect the seed of what we eat to grow them later.


Recolección de semillas

It's almost embarrassing to share it, because it's quite simple, I just wash them and let them to dry in a plate.

Semillas

I collect almos everything, I thing that we may find a use for them even when we were not able to grow them.

And sometimes I just plant the fresh pulp and it works.

Place to go :: Librería Intenacional de Tibás

I found this place the other day.


Cafetería Librería Internacional Tibás

The Librería Internacional de Tibás, from outside it does not look particulary interesting. But inside it has a coffe shop and a pretty garden, so I thought it would be a good place for mamas with infants to hang.



They also have beautiful puzzles, such as this one.

A new place

Yesterday I was able to get a new bookshelf, which help a lot to organize the books that were all piled in the other two. The living room looks much better although there is still books on boxes.

I trade this beautiful Indian recycled plastic rug, and I'm so happy.

Nuevo espacio

We are slowly moving to get a pretty and peaceful home, for now Itzcóatl nejoy to see his books, read them to himself (by memory) or imagine with them. I hope to find balance in the whole house soon, to be comfortable.

He even found a moment to write on his new place.

The other day we were going to a birthday party for a 5 year old to be girl, friend of Itzcóatl. I always try to give soething handmade but this time I wanted to include my son, so I asked what he would like to do, and after decide we were making a puppet he choose a Jaguar, so I cut the fabric and we made the dots painting on it whit our fingers, then I sew it, made a little purse, write a postcard (from boygirlparty) and we were done. She liked, but her baby sister liked even better, and she kept it on her hand even while nursing, it was really cute.
