This dry weather is driving us crazy. I’ve been expecting this week for some blessing to fall from the sky, but so far nothing… just clouds and wind. I don’t really know what they’re doing up there, but they better decide and send some water soon. I got shocked the other day when I visited my hometown: the soil in the garden was completely dried out and I could see cracks all around. Almost like those in the Atacama desert. This is not the Slovenian winter I used to know.

Moreover, it’s February the 29th, a day that deserves a little post at least, given that there won’t be such a date for the next 4 years, and so here I am – with another recipe, quite simple but at the same time very nutritious. I made it today for lunch and it made my day with its vibrant colours and refreshing taste. Let’s call it:
