A sublime weekend full of tasty treats
Hello, Hivers and Silver Bloggers!
In the last few days I've been a bit missing in action, not to say that as Super Ed @tengolotodo would say, I'm in a CBA mode. 😆 I have a few things going on at the same time and as the month progresses, I only think that it will be less time before my son comes home to spend the holidays. So at home, we are preparing to get the things we have pending as soon as possible and be able to enjoy in December a few quiet days with the family.
But not everything has been work, the weekend was also full of many pleasant moments with friends and family and one or another sweet and not-so-sweet treat. So I'll try to combat the CBA and write about my weekend.
To start ahead of the weekend on Thursday, my mom had her birthday. My sister and nephews have been down with the flu these days and my nephew with Dengue so we decided to postpone the birthday celebration, but I couldn't let it go under the table and my mom and I went out for a snack.
And although I am on my regimen of trying not to eat sugar, the special occasion deserved a treat and I couldn't resist a pasteis de nata.
I always thank life for having my mother and this year especially since we both celebrated life after last year we both had some big issues with our health. It's been more than a year since my mom got a pacemaker and she is doing very well. So the cream cake was more than justified and it was delicious, with the crunchy crust and the cream just right.
Then on Friday, the husband and I went to the premiere of a friend's play.
If you are in Caracas and want to have a good time, I highly recommend the play, it is called La Azotea and it will be played these days at the Centro Cultural de Arte Moderno, in what used to be the BOD Tower.
As it was the premiere there was a toast afterwards. And the glasses of wine made us hungry, so when we left we went straight to an arepera. It had been a long time since I had been to an arepera at night, but we were craving to eat a Reina Pepiada.
When they brought us the arepas, I couldn't believe the size.
Could you take a bite of that arepa @tengolotodo? It was so good and I don't know how I managed to eat it all.
And then Saturday came and it had been so long since we had eaten pasta and hubby was craving it, so we went out for lunch at our favorite Italian pasta place.
But first, we had to leave Milo satisfied and happy. We spoiled him with his favorite delicacy, fresh tuna. And here he is lying down after eating and thinking about moving to his favorite chair to take a nap after a good meal. 😹
And the husband and I went to eat at Dalidia, a small restaurant where the specialty is pasta. This place is for me one of the best places to eat pasta in town with authentic Italian flavor.
And one of my favorites is the zucchini pasta. It is made with aioli, a little anchovy, and crunchy zucchini pieces, all topped with pecorino cheese. A simple dish with so much flavor.
And while we were there, we couldn't miss dessert. It's hard to say no to a traditional cannoli with pistachio topping.
So on Sunday, since we had a guilty conscience from all the food we had eaten over the weekend, we got up early and headed to the mountains. A couple of hours of hiking to burn off the calories and not feel guilty. 😅
The rest of our sublime Sunday was spent at home watching movies and relaxing, and as always the most relaxed during the afternoon was Milo. 😺
I always wonder how he can sleep in that position, in which he looks like a little ball of hair. 😆
And that was my weekend. I hope yours was great as well.
Have a happy week!

Milo is gorgeous! Happy birthday to you and your Mum!
Thank you, Fiona 🤗
Milo is so handsome and affectionate but he also lives up to everything that is said about ginger cats 😹 He's a little crazy.
Gingers are all nuts! In their yown wonderful ways!
That pistachio toppings look enticing...it's one of my fav nuts so for sure that food is yummy hehe.. Watch out your blood sugar though 😅
I also love pistachios.
I'm taking care of my blood sugar level, despite how indulgent I was over the weekend, hehe. I have changed my eating habits and have eliminated sugar and salt from my daily routine. Thank you 🤍 I hope you are well, Jane 🤗
Gosh, foods is making me hungry, I feel like you had a food trip on the whole week (≧▽≦) with these foods. That cream cake is inviting me, i want that too (≧▽≦)
Hehe, I also feel I had a food trip last weekend, lol.
Happy week :)
This is great news, dear friend @coquicoin, how good it is that your son is returning home to enjoy the holidays.
I am very sorry that part of your family is not in good health, and had to postpone your mother's birthday celebration.
You have done very well in slair to share pleasant moments in the company of your mother, and give yourself those exquisite tastes with delicious sandwiches
Great that Milo enjoyed his lunch and stayed quiet in his favorite place
Excellent choice, I think pasta is always welcome on weekends, everything they ordered looks exquisite, plus it doesn't seem like that many calories, something that can't be solved with a walk on Sunday
Beautiful weekend, I appreciate that you let us know about this experience
Have a happy and prosperous week
Thanks, friend @jlufer :)
I love pasta but now I eat it only once in a while. To be honest more than calories what we have to take care of is about our blood sugar level. But indulging ourselves once in a while is worth it, right?
I hope you are well and I wish you a great week.
He looks so adorable in his sleep mode🥹
Your dealings through the week/weekend looks as I sure do know taste exciting and delicious. The mouth-watering meals and the intention behind celebrating with the cream cake. I hope they all feel better.
Have an awesome week💕
Milo says thank you, hehe 😺
Have a great week:)
Good walk after a weekend of indulgence, way to go and enjoy life to the full !LUV
It would be great to have more weekends like this, wouldn't it?
Have a great week!
It would be great, that cannoli with pistachio topping looked super as does the cat welcoming you to nap after....
Nata and Pistachio Canoli, perfect post 😀 My favorite pastries.
Have a lovely day
Hehe! Thank you and have a great week :)
Wow 🤩 Lots of exotic sounding and delicious looking food here Eli. You sure deserved a little reward after moving to a healthier diet.
I let my healthy diet go for a few days, as I was feeling nauseous with some stomach bug, so I skipped breakfast and replaced it with coffee as in those good, old, unhealthy days and the result is instant - hives and swelling again 😂 So no going back to bad habits anymore for me. Could be also cause I restarted taking antihistamines again after the visit at allergy clinic. Our health is so very fragile.
Milo looks so sweet laying like this. Pets have the weirdest sleeping poses, making you think how can they be comfortable like this, but clearly they are 😂

Hello Monika!!! I hope you are well.
To be honest, yes, I deserved to be indulgent at least one weekend. But it's better not to go back to bad habits.
You have to take advantage of the fact that you are still young and your body will thank you with good health later ;)
I wonder how they can sleep with those weird poses 🐱🐶 If we do something remotely like that, we'd wake up with pain all over 😆 !LOLZ

All this delicious food is making me hungry! I've been eating bland food till yesterday when a friend made a spicy chicken soup with special spices to clear congestion; I have been down with flu courtesy of the hospital!
It would be difficult to pick a favourite from your weekend treats but I think I'd go with the pasta and a cannoli for dessert...oh, and the cream cake!
Happy birthday to your Mom as well🎂 When is yours? Have I missed it?
Enjoy the rest of the week Eli❤
I hope you have recovered, Lizzie.
That pasta is delicious. Simple with few ingredients but so much flavor. To me, some plates of pasta from that place have always looked like comfort food that an Italian grandmother would make.
My birthday hasn't happened yet, it's in December ;)
Hugs, Lizzie 🤗
