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!

A nice surprise

My friend told me on Friday that he had two tickets for Lady Pank concert on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to go with him. His colleague couldn’t go and had given him the tickets. I was very happy because it’s a Polish rock band I like listen to sometimes so I agreed immediately. The concert was a special one because of the 35 th anniversary of founding Lady Pank. There were a lot of people, many of which were my parents’ generation which had been growing up with Lady Pank’s songs. Everyone was having fun singing and calpping. However, I can’t understand why people prefer recording the entire concert on their mobiles (what is illegal, by the way) rather than listening, interacting with the band and having a good time. The result is that you can see nothing but people’s phones which is very annoying. All in all, the event was great and I’m really glad I had a chance to listen to the songs I could only hear on the radio before!

The sad truth

source:menway.interia.pl I bet almost everyone can’t imagine themselves not using a smartphone, a computer or not watching TV just for one day. We all live surrounded by technology and it’s part of our everyday life. We use it in order to contact family and friends, check how to get to a place or order food. If we know how to use it wisely, modern technologies are not our enemy. However, lots of people gets lost in this complicated word of gadgets and electronic devices which start to take control of their lives. They can’t really have a normal conversation with their mates or spend time with a boyfriend/girlfriend without constantly writing messages. It’s dangerous and not everyone is aware of how harmful such attitude is. There even is a series about the impact of modern technologies on people and their behaviour. It’s called “Black mirror” and although the first episode was emitted in 2011, it got popularity in Poland just a few years ago. The series is available on Netfli

Coffee is everyone's best friend

I always start my day with breakfast and a cup of coffee with milk, no sugar. Coffee helps me start a day with energy and good mood. In the afternoon, about 3 or 4p.m., I drink a second cup of coffee. Usually, at this time I’m tired after a day in my faculty or after taking care of everything that needs to be done and coffee helps me get back on track. I love drinking that second cup of my favourite beverage in company, e.x. in a restaurant with friends or in my friend’s house. We sit comfortably on a couch and chat about our studies, our plans or about other people (of course). The coffee with my friends not only gives me a boost for the rest of the day, but it also helps me relax, even more when we choose a nice looking coffeehouse and also order a piece of a delicious cake. However, there
