Hello from a cozy cafe in the center of Madrid. Oh wait, it’s my cafe and I am sitting here typing this post, taking a break from updating Excel sheets…which are driving me bonkers and are really boring so lucky you, I am going to write a quick post. Today is a little slow…actually, it’s […]
Hello hello from my kitchen in my bakery… who thought I would ever say that! Not me! But here we are and I am very happy to be here! Today is Tuesday, January 21 and it’s pouring rain, so it’s been a quiet, but cozy day in the bakery. Despite the quietness, we are almost […]
It hasn’t even been that long since I’ve written anything here, yet it feels like ages. Time has never passed so quickly, yet at the same time, so slowly in my entire life. The hours and days and weeks pass by in a flash, but I also feel as though I am living weeks worth […]
Well, hello there! And Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I feel like I am coming out of a hazy, pumpkin-scented fog! I haven’t checked in on here because not only have I not had time to sit down and write anything- I’ve barely had time to eat real, put-together meals, take showers that are longer than 4 […]

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Things have been insane around here and likely the people reading this blog already know (hey Mom and Dad), BUTTTT for the sake of (again) having something to refer to for my future intereview for the Forbes Magazine Billionaire Edition, I am here to tell you the big news! I signed […]
Wow, it’s been awhile since I have written about opening a real Bruja’s Bakery here in Madrid! These posts – the Living in Bruja’s Bakery posts- are supposed to be a way to document this adventure of creating an online bagel business, all the way to opening a real brick & mortar shop. So much […]
The other night I had a dream that I was trying to boil a whole bunch of bagels over a campfire, but the water wouldn’t boil and I was panicking because I had to make something like 50 bagels and I had to do it all before meeting a friend for coffee. Talk about anxiety, […]
Finding the right place to open up the next edition of Bruja’s Bakery has proven to be a little more difficult than we anticipated, but not because it’s hard to find a space that can work. No- that is the easy part… there are plenty of locales that are available and new ones become available […]
Wow, I don’t know if it’s Spain or this is an international….issue…let’s call it, but finding the right place to open a bar/cafeteria/restaurant that has all of it’s ducks in a row, isn’t wildly expensive, and doesn’t need major renovation is NOT easy. I haven’t mentioned it here, but we found a reasonably OK place […]
