The Best Seasonal Pumpkin Soup
Ahhh, Autumn. I love that light, smell, colors, fresh air (and even rainy days, sometimes). Cozy sweaters, stylish coats, tea the whole day, time for movies, books and tons of good food. One word: hygge. I know, that it might sound totally bromidic, but I cant do anything with that. Fall gives me mood swings, gentle inner vibrations, bad sleep and cold …

That One Blueberry Meringue Pie
Autumn is a pie season. There's nothing better hot cup of tea or coffee with a big piece of your favourite pastry. I remember my very first pie I made. It was lemon meringue pie for 'The Toast' movie. Since then my cooking and baking skills improved, I became more confident, but also more demanding towards myself. Last year I had no…

Raw (2016)
'Raw', directed by Julia Ducournau, is definitely one of the must-watch movies this year, especially if you like horror/drama at the same time on your plate (giggles). Usually, it's hard to write about horror movies. Because they're often filmed according to the known pattern (mysterious place, mysterious creature/human/doll, murder)…

When I think about that period of time now, I can't believe that so many things have changed since January.

One Sunday in Groningen
I broke my personal record: not even a single word here since April 2016. Almost a year of silence, 12 drafts laying on the background...Pictures, gifs...but no words. 2016 was a massive roller coaster for me, ups and downs were dramatic, emotional and weird. The biggest struggle, that we possible can ever have, is struggle with ourselves. I went through t…

Game of Thrones: Quails Drowned in Butter (King's Landing Menu)
Brace yourself..The new season of Game of Thrones is coming! I bet you were waiting for this the whole year, torturing yourself with guessing what will happen with characters next (who will die in the new season!), is Jon Snow alive or dead, how bloody will be the war and who will get revenge. I'm singing the intro melody already for a week, I can…
