Chocolate & Pumpkin Donuts

This afternoon I went for a stroll around Ruzafa with a friend. We could see the spectacular illumination structures that are being installed for the Fallas, and, most important, I finally managed to try the famous pumpkin donuts. I'm fascinated with the wide culinary uses pumpkins are given in this region...I hope to have the time to show you the many sweet and salty ways they cook this vegetable and, of course, to try them all!! 

Hope you'll start the week on the right foot tomorrow!!

Sunday breakfast

Weird as it may seem, I love waking up early on Sunday. I love leaving out to the street knowing that the whole day is waiting to be lived. Then I feel as if I were where nobody else is, specially when I meet people returning home after having spent all the night out. I experience a kind of lucidness, as if everything was starting for me. So last sunday I gave myself a present doing exactly that: I bought the newspaper and a delicious sweet breakfast composed by some typical valencian cakes: xuxú (the longest one in the right, filled with cream),  a sweet potato cake (in the left front), some anise biscuits (the round ones in the front) and, well, a blueberries muffin filled with cheese cream (not so valencian, but it was so enticing that I couldn't resist).

Have a happy sweet Sunday!!
