Oficial, declar deschisa terasa casei mele pentru prieteni. Weekend-ul acesta ii astept (si sper sa ii impresionez) cu o reteta noua, perfecta pentru genul acesta de intalniri: bruschete cu macrou.
EN: My terrace is officially open to our friends. I am expecting them this weekend (and I hope I’ll impress them) with a new recipe, perfect for this kind of get-togethers: mackerel bruschetta.
Pentru mine, sa spun ‘Da’ lumii inseamna sa simt ca sunt de-a locului, indiferent cat de aproape sau departe de casa e locul acesta. In fiecare vacanta ma straduiesc sa caut cele mai autentice restaurante, sa traiesc cele mai interesante experiente. Iar cand suntem cu rulota, asa cum am fost in aceasta mica vacanta de Paste, imi place sa uit in ce zi suntem, unde suntem si mai ales sa nu imi fac niciun plan pentru ziua de maine. Pentru ca imi place sa cred ca o vacanta nu e doar o calatorie, ci o scurta perioada in care pui pauza la absolut orice si alegi sa fii complet prezent in acel moment si in acel loc.
EN: To me, saying “Yes” to the world means feeling like I belong there, no matter how near to or far from home that is. On every vacation I do my best to find the most authentic restaurants, to live the most interesting experiences. And when we are with the trailer, as was the case during our short Easter getaway, I like to forget what day it is, where we are and especially to not plan anything ahead. Because I like to think that a vacation is more than just a trip, it’s a brief period of time during which you pause absolutely everything else and choose to be completely present in that moment and place.
Hristos a Inviat! Va scriu din rulota noastra, aflata pentru o scurta oprire in Sighisoara. M-am tinut de cuvant si, cu ocazia Pastelui, am plecat impreuna cu familia intr-o mini-vacanta prin tara.
EN: Happy Easter! I am writing to you from our trailer, during a short stop in Sighisoara. I kept my promise and, for Easter, I left together with my family on a mini-vacation across the country.
Nu prea imi place broccoli. Stiu ca e sanatos, incerc sa il aduc pe masa noastra ca sa il guste si Vlad, dar rareori descopar cate un fel de mancare cu broccoli care sa fie cu adevarat gustos. Asa ca zic sa incercati salata asta. O sa fie o surpriza tare placuta.
EN: I don’t like broccoli. I know it’s healthy, I try to bring it to the table so Vlad can taste it too, but I rarely ever find a dish with broccoli which is truly tasty. So I recommend you try this salad. It will be a very pleasant surprise.
Imi place sa gatesc. Uneori imi si iese. Asta e una dintre situatiile fericite. Asa ca azi am sa fac reteta asta din nou, de Paste iar, si tot asa, pana cand primesc aplauze de la toti prietenii mei!
EN: I like to cook. Sometimes I am actually good at it. This is one of the fortunate situations. So I’ll make this recipe again today, and then again for Easter, and so on, until I get applauses from all my friends!
