Absolutely not the day I expected. In a good way. Sun was blazing yet again when we woke up after a great night out at a friend’s bar. Ellie wanted to watch a movie, but I fell asleep almost immediately. And woke up several times. And there was a weird phone call at 1:40am by someone from the south. Unknown number, asked for someone that wasn’t me, and didn’t even apologized. Number blocked.
In the morning, we made the plan that I’d go to the market, do the shopping, and then make coffee for me and Ellie to watch that movie again. Apparently she had fallen asleep during it, too. It was surprisingly fresh outside, but I was also out a little earlier than usually. The fresh produce on the market looked spectacular as always.
I met my admin, Daniel, and his side-kick, Mateo, who were very excited about having found purple Amaranth. They’re chefs, and about to open their restaurant in the back of my bakery. They do research of ancestral ingredients, so their basket is always full of stuff that I don’t even know the name of.
Coming back home, my brother called. If we were up for breakfast in Ibarra? Sure! That means my favorite breakfast restaurant, Capsicum.
They make the most delicious vegan stuff, while also doing everything else. So we got ready, but Ellie cancelled last minute. Too much going on, her daughter needed to do a lot of homework for upcoming presentations and tests. So it was just me, my brother and my sister-in-law. Which was nice, we rarely get out in that combo.
On our way back, my SIL let us know that her parents were inviting us for lunch. In 1 hour. And we were SO stuffed. So we pushed it back an hour, and it was quite the fun. Ellie’s family is awesome, and since we’re together for 6 years now, I’m fully integrated and my brother is getting his foot in the door, too. Family is very important in Ecuadorian culture.
Lastly, we got another invitation by a friend of mine – for vegan gluten free chocolate cake. Sounds boring? It’s honestly the most delicious cake I’ve had. She mastered the skill of preparing this raw cake, and it’s just the best. I ate way too much, and opted to walk home, although my brother had his car with him. Lazy guy. Walking home, I caught up to my in laws yet again – my FIL and MIL were bringing my other SIL home. So I walked with them, as it’s on the way to my place.
And that’s about it. I didn’t think too much today. I’m tired, kind of exhausted and have the feeling that I’m coming down with a cold. So, I’ll go to bed early. I hope. Never know these days, things happen.
Wishing you all a good night!
