Keep fingers crossed for Thursday! I am secretly counting on it and officially not caring. I got ukulele, songs by Jonny Cash to learn on the road, new Wow Wow for Mia (she thinks it’s the old one which she already lost twice), books prepared. I have a notebook with recipes for the road and it looks like the next 4 months of my life could already begin. So hopefully this time we’ll get our registration places and will hit the road. If not, there will be some yawning and crying, possibly cursing over here.
For now I work like crazy, trying to do as much as possible before the trip and I try to entertain Mia. Or myself, as I need distractions. She’s been to a polish seaside quite a few times (Wisełka is only 2,5h away from Berlin and it’s awesome), strawberry picking adventure, strawberry adventure park, many crazy playgrounds, few lakes and she’s ready to drive hours before we reach Portugal. At least I hope that we won’t stop each 30 minutes.
Hot days are coming and we should all try to take advantage of them. Did you always want do have a breakfast or picnic over a lake? Just do it this year! You can take this strawberry gazpacho with you, it is a delicious solution, easy and fast. Prepare it the night before and just grab in the morning. Easy.
YOU WILL NEED (for 2):
- 250g strawberries
- ½ medium size tomato
- ¼ cucumber
- ¼ red pepper
- ½ garlic clove
- ¼ tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- pinch of salt and pepper
- ¼ cup vegetable broth, cold
Place your strawberry gazpacho in a fridge for a couple of hours, as it’s amazing super cold.
Serve with sliced strawberries on top.
Enjoy, Marta
