Did you know that we spend between 30-50% of our time rambling? That without realizing it we get distracted and absorbed in an internal flow of thought unrelated to external stimuli? We spend so much time like this that it has even been said that it is the default state of our brain.

They say about this hamburger that it is not a simple hamburger... It is the deluxe edition! Vegetarian burger, with marinated and grilled mushrooms. The truth is, if you're sick of the original version or just wanting to try a new recipe, this one is well worth it.

Portuguese gastronomy has so many recipes with cod that we could prepare one every day of the year and not repeat it. This is one of the most popular inside and outside the neighboring country. At home, even the least fond of fish like it a lot, something that is appreciated. As well as the fact that it is a very simple dish to prepare and that it does not require strange ingredients or strange gadgets.

I like to make traditional desserts, desserts with a history like these traditional frisuelos that are made in Asturias and whose recipe has been passed down from father to son over and over again.

When Claudia suggested that I prepare a recipe with the Ilsa flan trays, I immediately replied that I wanted to make my tocinillos de cielo. They are such an exquisite and delicate snack that I wanted to show you how to make them at home. And it is that, whenever I serve them in a meeting, they triumph.

If in my last recipe we traveled to the United Kingdom today we continue there. I couldn't resist presenting you the Scones recipe. Yes, surely you know them, they are those round rolls originally from Scotland, rolls with which the famous tea time is usually accompanied.

For years I lived in ignorance thinking that Manchego ratatouille was the only existing ratatouille in Spanish gastronomy, but how confused I was! Today's recipe is one of the variants that derives from the original ratatouille made only with tomato and green pepper, which is the father of all ratatouille. But it is not the only one, although we are not going to go into the matter because the one that interests us is this, the recipe for ratatouille from Rioja.

I'm not going to deceive you. Today I do not bring a quick recipe. Of course, it is not a difficult recipe either, but it is a bit entertaining. Of course, it is also absolutely delicious, and as soon as you taste the first bite of these stuffed squid with onions, you will forget all the time you could have spent preparing them and you will only be left with how delicious they are, I promise!

Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic "sofa and movie?" Only one for me: accompany it with a great dinner!! What are we going to do, I have a very developed greedy vein, hehehe. But you will not deny me that accompanying a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there is a dish that has crept into our favorites for these nights, it is the pulled pork tacos.

Back in World War II, two Canadian officers were staying at a hotel in the northeast of England, where they gave a recipe for a pudding to the owner of the hotel; and it makes sense what they tell us that its origin is not English but Canadian, since the dough is more similar to that of an American muffin than to that of a delicate English sponge cake. I'm talking about the delicious sticky toffee pudding.

Do you know that homemade cookies can last even a month in perfect condition if you keep them well? That as long as you don't get distracted and the little ones (or some older child in the house... Ehem!) don't play the little mouse and eat them first.

Baking cookies is one of my favorite pleasures. It is easy and it is also fast, since both the dough requires very little mixing and the baking takes little time (about 15 minutes). The kids also enjoy it, you make sure you eat quality ingredients and, if you make them in quantity, you have reservations for days.

Let's see, let me find out... Who said that to eat well you had to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Well, of course, whoever did it is because he had never tried this pork tenderloin with orange glaze.
