I\u2019m back home. Sitting next to my big wooden table which Tomasz made out of a pieces he found on a street years ago, I hold my cup with tea (surprisingly) and I cannot believe that I am here. Today I did not wake up to the sound of the ocean, but to the birds singing loudly behind my window. I do live in a center of the city, but one building in my courtyard is covered with plants and birds from the hole Berlin live there. I woke up and it was warm. I did not have to set up a fire in a fireplace and make coffee really fast to hide under a blanket. I did not watch the ocean while waiting for the room to be warm enough that I can write. I did not go out to say hello to the ocean. But I said hello to a friend sleeping on out couch and it was all fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Life is a crazy story. I\u2019d never think that my life will look like it does right now. There was a straight plan: law school -> work at a legal practice -> getting a specialisation -> creating my own legal practice -> working like crazy on saving the world. Meantime, it has all changed. I\u2019d never expect that I\u2019ll be able to live next to an ocean in a fisherman\u2019s hut during the coldest march in the history of Portugal. I did not expect to have the coolest and craziest little performer. I did not expect that it will feel strange to be back home. But it does and I love it. Not always, sometimes life makes me a crappy joke.<\/p>\n

Not a typical Easter post, is it. But\u2026 I am presenting to you a delicious zucchini cake, which is almost a veggie for dessert. Let me do a reality check and I\u2019ll be back with some more Portugal stories.<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/div>\n
\n

YOU WILL NEED FOR THE DOUGH:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 200g flour<\/li>\n
  • 200g sugar<\/li>\n
  • 140g butter<\/li>\n
  • 1 & \u00bd tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 3 eggs<\/li>\n
  • 6 tbsp milk<\/li>\n
  • 60g grated zucchini<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    YOU WILL NEED FOR ICING:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 200g icing sugar<\/li>\n
    • 1 tsp green spirulina<\/li>\n
    • a bit of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \nPre-heat your oven to 180c, coat tin with butter.<\/p>\n

      Grate zucchini (it will be around half zucchini), squeeze it out of the juices. Place it in a bowl with the rest of ingredients and mix well.<\/p>\n

      Pour the dough into a form (I used 10cm x 20cm), flatten the surface and bake for about 50 minutes.<\/p>\n
