Saturday I went to see Park Here! (a pop-up indoor park!?!) before the closing.
Oh well, let's say it was interesting... ;)

Visions 2 + recipe
I'm having a soup... but all I want is a chocolate salami!!!
Ingredients:
300 g tea cookies
150 g unsalted butter
150 g unsalted butter
200 g dark chocolate
100 g sugar
2 fresh eggs
30 ml rum
2 fresh eggs
30 ml rum
Cut the butter into pieces and let it warm to room temperature. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, then let it cool a little. Put the cookies into a large bowl and crush them into crumbs. When the butter is soft, work it with an electric whisk for few seconds and then start adding the sugar, the eggs, the melted chocolate, and the rum. Whisk again for few seconds, then pour the mixture into the large bowl containing the cookies crumbs. Work the mixture until all the cookies crumbs are completely coated with the chocolate mix.
Take the dough and make the shape of a salami. Put the chocolate salami onto a layer of cling film and then wrap it with the film, press it to make it compact.
Put in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Slice it and ENJOY!
BUAAAAA :D
Once upon a time...
Every neighborhood has its secrets.
In midtown you might turn a corner and jump into the Middle Ages!

Who needs cozy?
Today we had another little snow storm in NYC.
A beer, some secret whispers, and a yarn covered car would be just perfect to keep warm!

Did I tell you I've started a 40 days detox diet? Oh, yes.
I'm not liking it, nope, but determined to make it!
Day #6, I start hallucinating.

Time to go
Tomorrow I will be back in NYC.
Temperature will drop from +13∘C in Verona, to -3∘C in NYC... not quite a good deal!
I am sure I will need a (strictly alcoholic) punch very soon!!!

My very first book club
Starting from mid January, I will be part of a blogger book club,

The first book will be announced on January the 15th.

Rainy day and cozy corners
A wacky lamp with a warm light, a pile of books, and a bright flower are my remedy for a rainy day.
