pink brownies

You know by now my addiction for sweets...well, since I first tasted the brownies in the States years ago, fell in love with them then...still loving them today. It's always a YES when it comes to this chocolate wonders...if you know what I mean! :):)))

A lil' bit of heaven

Childhood habits...

We got home last night late enough...after a 12 hour trip back from Braila, we were exhausted! All my body hurts...and all this 3 day trip to this theatre festival left me energy drained...

Now it's time to recover. It's sunday, and even if I was off from the theatre work, still had to do some things that related to it...

But anyhow...I started my day with the kind of breakfast that I love the most... Leibniz biscuits with butter, dipped in hot chocolate milk (by the way, I'm a milk addict)...

That really makes my day!...and I have a thing for dipping sweet things in milk or tea...it's a childhood habit that I still love...and yes, I do spoil myself with it anytime I've got a chance! :) I'll do it as long as I live, for sure! :))

Hope you enjoyed your weekend! See you soon!

P.S. Hope I have sparked your desire to drink a cup of hot milk! :))

"In Bruges"...West Flanders

I only knew Bruges from the movie (with the same name)...I was glad to find out that the city it's a lot more than just what it looks like in the movie... Plus the weather was more pleasant to visit it...although I could feel that september was so close...and summer was done...

I ended up loving Belgium, not just because of the beautiful old (and new) cities it has, but also knowing wonderful people, that made this hole trip something to remember after years!

Here are some pics along with some info about the places I've seen...

The belfry of Bruges (or Belfort)

- is a medieval bell tower in the historical center of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible by the public for an entry fee, leads to the top of the 83-meter-high building, which leans about a meter to the east.

Provincial Court

The historic centre of Bruges has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.

This is a spot that is very known in Bruges...and every tourist has to take at least a pic here...couldn't be an exception... :)) Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, Bruges it's sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".

All the windows from the Chocolate Shops (and there are a loooot!) look fabulous...beware!!! If you are a sweets lover (as I desperately am...), you can easily spend all your money on loads of eye catching and delicious sweets... I died there several times... :)

Yeah..we couldn't leave Bruges empty handed...

milk chocolate boost

...this was an "8 o'clock waking day" and I was at 9 am at the theatre for early rehearsals... during a break or when I don't have to be on the stage at certains scenes of the play, I run in my dressing room and have my energy boost.... :))
