OCTOPUS ATTACK!

I'm not a big fan of sea food so when my boyfriend took me to famous restaurant in Viareggio (Trip Advisor: Trattoria Nostromo) it wasn't my vision of perfect dinner :-) Nevertheless I have to admit that everything was prepared very well, looked really tasty and if somebody likes to have octopus in their stomach- they will love this place. 

Fishy starter  was the only thing I could've enjoyed there and it really was delicious. And so was my glass of prosecco (the bottle to be honest :D ). 

Thomas's first dish that made him very satisfied. 

Octopus. With head. With everything. With all those THINGS! :D Defenietly NO!

Monster with its head! 

After the dinner, even though Thomas was full, we went to buy some ice creams. I was finally happy! 

My boyfriend, huge fan of high quality&great food, famous restaurants enjoyed this place so this one stays with his positive comment and without any from me...  

I LOVE LAMAS🐆🐪🐨🐛🐑🐒🐯🐘

With this post I wanna go back  to Zoo Safari that is located close to Novara, in the north of Italy. Visiting it last summer I consider as one of my greatest experiences! The possibility of being so close (just centimetres from wild animals so truly amazing and I recommend it to all of you! Actually, for me it was so exciting that I made my boyfriend do it all twice on the same day. I couldn’t understand why he didn’t want again&again…  

The animals were coming close to our car to say “hiiii!” or sometimes just looked with “Gtfo!” faces (still adorable!) and I just wanted to steal one tiny little lama cause I was like… who doesn’t want to have their own private lama?

I came home with no new animal but my brain was exploding with happiness and I would talk about that day for next few weeks! Since then I’ve just became hungry for more so… next time Africa maybe?

PIEROGI MADE IN ITALY

Last week me, Thomas and his friends organised a dinner. Everybody cooked (or bought) something. Ruija, a friend of Thomas from China made Chinese dish that I’m not even able to describe but what’s important- I liked it. Other friends, all Italians, prepared pasta, olives and I don’t remember what else. On our table we also had a nice piece of salami and gorgonzola. I’m not a big fan of those two tho.

I decided to prepare something all tourists want to try when they come to Poland- pierogi. In my opinion the best are with fruit but this time stuffed them with mozzarella and zucchini and other ones with too salty carrots.

My first move was cutting in tiny pieces carrots and zucchini. After that I cooked them and in the meantime I prepared the ingredients such as two glasses of flour, a bit of salt, spoon of butter, one whole egg and 0,75ml of hot water. I mixed flour with salt, butter and egg and then was slowly inputting water all the time mixing with wooden spoon. 
 For carrots I used definitely too much salt 😃😃Zucchini and mozzarella were spiced with a bit of salt and black pepper. We also added a bit of soya sauce and it really made them much, much better!😀

Happy bday to me!😃😄😀

Yesterday I hit 25 and today I woke up with “Booooo you’re old, go home!” kind of thoughts. Nevertheless I’m still beautiful and impossibly awesome in every meaning of this word! 😃😃😃

My boyfriend made my day so special by taking me to beautiful restaurant called Tratoria Leoni in Felino (via Ricco 42), 15 mins from Parma. Its located on the hill and the view is breathtaking! The city, italian sky and when it was dark also city lights… Stunning! Restaurant like that, away from loud, full of people centre, in quiet green area was a perfect choice to celebrate last night. Thomas made it even more special by surprising me with another birthday present- ring with big white pearl.  I wear it even right now cause I love it! Perfectly suits my home outfit that I'm happily rocking at this moment by the way haha😃😀

The food turned out to be another huge plus for Thomas since he picked –as usual- something tasty for me.  For starter we had a bit of prosciutto crudo and salami, for the first dish tortelli d’erbertta (you can see it in the last photo), then we tried coniglio alla cacciatora (delicate and really good rabbit meat). Dinner was accompanied by red wine. We finished with delicious desert that you can see in the first photo. Not sure what it was, pistachios with chocolate, something like that. Whatever it was, I didn’t want to share it with my boyfriend😄😃 Word about the service: our waitress was nice and kind without pretending. I didn't even think to ask "How much longer will I have to wait?!" because everything was served with perfect timing. When it was done and it came to pay, we were not shocked with the price, it was similar to other restaurants in Parma. Just the bottle of wine, that usually we don't take, made our check a bit higher.

Naja naja naj... 😃

Last weekend I spent with my boyfriend in Novara (north of Italy).  Since we didn’t feel like cooking, we started with going for the dinner to our favourite place called Long Jin at Corso Torino 52.  The best Asian food I’ve ever tried!  Actually, it’s the only place where I really like sushi and I definitely recommend their  tasty soups with shrimps.

In the photos: alga, shrimps, delicate chicken eaten by Thomas and the duck with orange that I can’t wait to eat again, was fantastic!

 The rest of the weekend we spent with family which means: too much, too loud and too long.  So I need another few days to recover! So now… time for my big coffee that all the Italians look at with “da fuck?!?!” face and I’m ready to hit the centre of Parma :-)
