Zero waste in the kitchen

I really like cooking. It always makes me relax and lets me forget about any problems for a while. However, I hate throwing away food and I always try to do everything so as to avoid it. Here are some of my tips how to do it:

  • Normally, I tend to prepare bigger portions for two days or freeze food for later if there is something left.
  • What is more, there are many ways to use as much of food you bought as possible. For instance, when I buy radish, I eat it in sandwiches and use its leaves to make a delicious pesto. Thanks to it, I kill two birds with one stone. 
  • If fruits have been left for too long and they don't look good but still are ok to eat, you can make a smoothie with them. 
  • After cooking a soup, I take the vegetables of it and make a vegetal pâté
  • When I know I won’t be able to eat something (ex. because I leave the next day), I give the food away. My friend is always willing to take it. If she’s not, there are groups on social media in which people share the food left for free. 

It’s always easy to throw something away, but how about using it? There are so many creative ways to do this!

Let it snow!

Source: https://www.biznews.com/briefs/2014/02/25/harsh-weather-tests-optimism-u-s-economy There are two kinds of people – these who like snow and these who hate it. I’m somewhere in the middle of this battle. To me, snow is a nice thing in December, with all those lights, Christmas Trees and other adornments. It looks really magic when combined together. I love these lazy evenings with my decorative candles lighting in the room, a good film and snow outside. Nothing better than moments like this, with a warm blanket, of course! However, if the snow falls in April when it’s absolutely not supposed to, I rather hate it. Moreover, I’m cold almost every day so winter is especially tricky to me as I try to stay warm at home or during classes and snow doesn’t help at all. I hope it will fall at Christmas Eve, though, which isn't now as obvious in Poland as it used to be :)

Why don’t you have a rest?

source: forsal.pl Nowadays people are living so fast. Every morning you can see them almost running to get to work, pupils with big school bags walking fast because they’ve overslept, old ladies going to the market in order to be the first in buying the best groceries and cars passing by with an incredible speed.  What makes all of them losing their heads? Well, the answer is pretty simple: money and obligations. All the society is used to this type of life and I’m afraid sometimes we don’t have any other option. I’m one of these “running people”. I always walk hurriedly and have a lot of things to do in my tense schedule. It’s very annoying when someone is walking slowly in front of me and I can’t get ahead. In such situations I have an impression that this person is stealing my valuable time. Of course it’s not true, but when you have a hundred things to do, every minute is priceless. However, every day I try to find a moment only for myself and I think all of us should t...

Ho, ho, ho!

I can’t say I was among them, because you just can’t compare getting money from your parents to finding a gift under the bed in the morning. I remember writing letters to Santa and giving them to parents so they would send them to him. Of course, the letters never gone any farther, but the presents always came on time. How was it possible?!  It is a really nice tradition and I think children should be let to believe in Santa Claus. It’s a part of a childhood, just like the Tooth Fairy. Nowadays, I don’t expect my parents to give me anything. I’ve grown up and Santa only comes to the smaller ones. However, I don’t object if they want to give me a little something :) I’m still their child.
