The city was just as pretty the second day as it was the first. Once again- wonderful European stores like Zara, Zaza, and Mango swallowed me up- devouring my wallet.
While stores may have lured me in,
I was preoccupied with
crepes (one of my favorite foods alongside sushi and fruit) and
incredible coffee. I absolutely fell head over heels for their drinks. I
recommend the Bistro to anyone in search of fuel or comfort- its name
is Punto Caffe.
For dinner I made Enchiladas for her
and her father. Substituting many of the ingredients not sold in Belgian
stores, like sour cream, and using a new recipe- the enchiladas turned
out delicious besides the extreme spicyness. We all took a bite and were
nearly brought to tears. Their poor tongues, which are used to pastries
and cheese, had to constantly be cooled with wine/sparkling water. I
have to make sure that when I cook for her mother I reduce the amount of
Chili powder in the sauce.
At night I got a baking
tinkling deep in my stomach. Creating pastries has always been a joy of
mine- and apparently that carried ove into Europe. Making myself at
home I make Banana Nutella Muffin Cake, using honey and yogurt instead
of butter and sugar. It was absolutely delicious.
I do
miss my baby Albus a little, which reminds me of my cat craze. Walking
through Leuven I literally had to stop as tap a window that had a cat
sitting on a ledge. 4ish days without cat contact has been hard. Daphne
made me cat earrings and hid a cat post card under my blankets while I
was in the restroom. I actually managed to get on Facebook today and my
sister had posted cat photos on my wall.
With much love
