Traveling Through Europe: Prague I
10 days. 3 countries. 2 flights. 2 trains. A lot of meat and potatoes. From Madrid –> Prague –> Vienna –> Budapest –> Madrid, this was one of my favorite trips in my lifetime. The ten days flew by so quickly, but it also felt like I was away for much […]
I Made Strawberry Jam.
And you can, too! Because it´s easy! I have made strawberry jam before (a long time ago), but that time I didn´t can it and I used pectin. This time I didn´t use pectin and I canned it. Step one: Find a recipe. I followed this recipe and this recipe, and kind of did a […]

Mallorca!

2.5 Days in Lisbon, Portugal (& Sintra!) [Part III]
Hi! Part I and Part II Okay, I am falling asleep writing these posts since I have not gotten much sleep and I still have to pack for PARIS (yay!!!) tomorrow, but if I don’t write this now, it will likely never get written. So let’s make this snappy, shall we?! I know, I know, […]
Four Days in Porto, Portugal…. Take Two.
Nope, I didn’t go to Porto again, I am just re-writing this post after I accidentally deleted my blog like a doofus a couple weeks ago. I lost a few posts with that little mishap, and most of them were my stupid ramblings, but the Porto post is something that I want to keep. So…Take […]
