My twin sister's visit

Recently I had this surprise visit from my twin sister. She lives very far away and she came here to present her latest movie ;-)

In case you don't know, I'm talking about Angelina Jolie, of course. She was in Paris to present "Salt" and I was lucky enough to see her.
We can't neglect family, right? ;-)

My movie reviews are now in Twitter mode, but in case you want to know "Salt" is a good action movie, with a twisting plot until the very end. I recommend you to watch it. Although the ending could be smarter.

One thing I've noticed: my sister is very very thin, almost anorexic! I think I should be cooking for her, with more pepper and less salt! eheh So she could be in "Tomb Raider" shape! Go, go Lara Croft! ;-)

Cocktails for everyone

Summer is here, the weather is warm, people prefer drinking rather than eating... so let's make people happy.
I enjoy cooking, but I decided to learn something different this year, and the winner was cocktail preparation. For starter, digestive or just fun, cocktails are as diverse as meals. Combining ingredients to get tasteful, rich and colorful results.

As I didn't have any proper "tools" and acessories, I bought the basic to start. Then some beverages and ingredients. As some people don't drink alcoholic cocktails, I've also learned how to prepare some soft ones. :-P

So, for the last weeks I've been preparing (rather than drinking) all kinds of cocktails, inviting friends over... and get their feedback. Well, the feedback from those who survive the experience! eheh

The bar is open...
