Treat Yo Self at MThai

So in an attempt to keep the blog going, I will also be sharing things I've written in other places. This was my first piece for Las Morenas de España, waaaay back in 2015 (March 22, to be exact).
It's about my visit to MThai Massage School in the center of Madrid. I love this place so much, as a matter of fact,I still go there! I hope you enjoy it:

En Mi Cocina

SO, the fuckery continues, even though I don't post as much as I should! I'm working on that, I swear. Especially since - This just in - I have successfully renewed my position here in Madrid. More on that later.

Cooking has been a big thing here in Madrid. It's the same as anywhere: it's cheaper to cook at home, and eating out is expensive. Plus, I'm in a new country so I don't know what most of the things here are called. Thank goodness for the 3 semesters of Castellano I took in university, and the year I took in high school (¡Hola, Señor Buerkle!), or  I wouldn't even know what I'm buying. Oh, who am I kidding? I usually don't know what I'm buying.

It has been much easier to eat better here. The produce is fresh, and it is EVERYWHERE. My fridge is always stocked with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and fruit. Yay fruit!
You know what I haven't found here? SOUP. Like canned soup. There is no Progresso, no Campbells, nope. You either get it in a packet, a pouch, or in a pour thingie like Stock or something. Sooooo, I have been learning to make my own soups.
(This is from 2014... turns out I have tons of half-thoughts that I never finished. Me again!


This Year in a Nutshell

Some things are old AF, yet some things are still shiny and new. I realize that sometimes I start things without finishing. It's been a struggle and a challenge, but it seems that midway through 2019... I'm still learning lessons. I've lost some friends to death, and others to arguments, yet I'm still standing. I've decided my next couple of steps but now I need to actually begin and follow through. Lord, send me the motivation... It's out there somewhere.

...right? Don't mind me. I'm just thinking.
