Supernatural

Last time I promised that next time I would write something about a TV serie I watch currently. It is called "Supernatural" and I must say that although it is quite good, I'd rather call it my guilty pleasure. I feel a little ashamed to admit that I watch this, because the plot seems really stupid: two brothers are trying to stop the apocalypse with a help of an angel. In order to save the world they have to kill the four horsemen of the apocalypse and steal their rings. What's more, the God wants the apocalypse to happen, so the angel who is helping them have to rebel against Gods will. 
 I know that there are TV series that are way better than this one, but it isn't the kind of series that you watch within one night because you can't wait till tomorrow. You don't have to watch all the episodes, if you miss one, you'll still know what's going on. I often watch it while cooking or eating dinner, because you don't have to be really focused on it. It's not "House of Cards", you don't have to stop doing everything to keep up. 
 To sum up, I recommend you this serie if you are bored, but if you have something better to watch, you should leave "Supernatural" for a lazy weekend with nothing to do.

Tapas & fun

Everytime I decide to watch something new on TV, I end up eating loads of popcorn and spend the rest of the evening with a horrible stomachache. But this time my friends told me they would come over to watch the first episode of "Supernatural" (a TV serie which I'll describe to you the next time) so I planned that I'd make something special. As I spent the last year in Basque Country I wanted to try to prepare some tapas which I used to eat back there. After a few minutes of searching the internet, I decided to prepare red wine and garlic mushrooms. The recipe was very easy and it took only a few minutes to make it. 
I won't post the recipe here, as you can check it on this website.



The dish was very tasty and I recommend it to all of you. It is not only really easy but also authentic. I used to eat it every Thursday on pintxopote, a weekly event where you go from bar to bar to taste the specialty of the house and drink some wine: it's a popular Basque custom. Every Thursday you can see masses of people gathering in the bars to eat, drink, and above all, spend time together.

In short, if you want to make some Spanish tapas at home, garlic mushrooms are a great choice for you, and I bet your guests won't be disaponted.
