In march
2014 I joined a band. We’re called Sound Chemistry and we play melodic rock
music. Singing is one of my greatest passions, and I love the process of
writing and creating new content. In December, we decided to record an EP. We
already had 10 songs, so we had to pick our 4 favourites to feature on the
album. After that, we only really had to decide a name. We had different ideas,
but none of them really appealed to us, until my brother (also the bass player)
suggested we named it Underground Fairytales. Now, you’re probably thinking
‘Isn’t that the name of your blog?’ I named my blog after the album, with their
permission, as I fell in love with it. We spent 11 hours in the studio,
recording again and again those four songs, until we felt they were perfect. If
you want to check out our sound, we have a youtube channel with these four
songs.
This year
my parents both turned 50. So to celebrate their birthdays we organized two
parties. Chiara, a friend of mine, and I, decided to cater for both. The first one
was at the end of June, in Italy, with about 100 people. The second one, on the
other hand, was more of a dinner party for about 20 people, and in the Uk. We started
deciding the dishes one week in advance, and went shopping on the Thursday
before the party. On Friday we cooked nearly everything, and I was really proud
of the results.
This was
the menu for the evening:
Vegetables and
dips(hummus and olive and caper dip)
Peanuts
Vegetable crisps
Olives
Zucchini with
Philadelphia and salmon
Parmesan and
garlic breadsticks
Asparagus risotto
in parmesan nests
Gammon
Potato salad
Bean salad
Tomato and mozzarella salad
Vitello tonnato
Various
cheeses
Meringues
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries
Lemon mousse
Chocolate cheesecake
Raspberry cheesecake
Tiramisu
It was an
amazing turnout, and the food was absolutely delicious, if I do say so myself. I’m
really proud of me and Chiara, as we managed to make all of this and serve
everything, even if lots of it had to be done at the last minute!
If you’re
interested in any of the recipes, just let me know down below and I’ll write
some food blog posts soon.
I think everyone of us has made a bucket list of things we want to do before we die. It can be simple things, like learning to ride a bike(if you can't already ride one), or scary things, like skydiving.
