The brain of a Blogger

Hi there!
I just had to share with you this great Infograph (you know how much I like these things) from Infolinks about the brain of a blogger. Do you recognize yourself in it? I do! Creating and keeping a blog (especially trying to keep it cool and interesting) is really hard, also when, as in my case, you don't have a lot of knowledge about blogger, html codes, widgets, etc. but it's a great hobby, so, here's an infograph of what's going on in my head:


Here are the enlargements that you can use as a step by step guide to blogging:

Asparagus

The weather in Milan has had us thinking that it's already summer but let's not forget we are still in spring. And what better way to remember than eating season's veggies!
Take asparagus, they are poor in calories and loaded with vitamins and minerals. They are a good source of folic acid, vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin C.They are also a fair source of calcium and fiber. They are
 also used in natural medicine to control some stomach affections, clean the liver, lungs and intestines of toxins. Apart from their depurative effects, they also have a protecting action of the arteries. Consumed regularly, they prevent the development of arteriosclerosis and clean the blood. 


So here are 3 easy recipes with asparagus as the main ingredient:

Mexico lindo y querido

He upon whose heart the dust of Mexico has lain will find no peace in any other land.
—Malcolm Lowry in Under the Volcano





A year ago I started this blog (time flies!), and since then I've been trying to write a post about my country, the thing is, nothing feels satisfying when I'm trying to describe it. I left Mexico almost 12 years ago and although I've kept visiting at least once every two years it has changed so much that I'm begining to wonder if I've lost the words in the change. I was very happy growing up in Mexico City, but when I discovered Italy and fell in love with it I moved here without even really thinking about it. But everytime I go back I enjoy it, the food, the people, the weather, the culture and of course the family and friends, everything keeps welcoming me in the warmest of ways.
Now that I come to think of it, I don't have any pictures of Mexico City but here are some of one of the most beautiful places on earth: the Mayan Riviera.
