Putting on the smaller panniers today….

..plus I continue on having awful backpack drama.

Is the smaller Thule backpack actually better for shopping? My head is spinning in confusion. Perhaps the 23l only for travels and keeping her away from the nasty elements from biking and shopping (the new Thule is gorgeous). Plus she’s a bit heavier and more “stiff”…

I think the 20 is the sweet spot, more floppy, lighter…and maybe I will just buy less crap if I bring it along..

Why is life just a constant series of difficult decisions.

Everyone is waiting for 11pm.

My favorite Sunny Beach dog.

I named him LIVER because he hated the liver I bought for him.

The cats swooped in a moment later and devoured this in 2 bites. Greedy bastards.

I have added a new romantic light..

….to the bathroom. It’s super dim and energy efficient. The 2 LADDA AA batteries within (2450s) should last 2 months or more.

Thank you for reading.

I made an “almost veggie burger”. Here is my story.

It’s clear that vegetarians hate life and themselves BUT….here is the deal. When making actual vegetarian stuff STOP FUCKING trying to mimic meat, actually make something tasty – THIS PATTY is tasty. It doesn’t taste like near-meat, it tastes great, like a tasty veggie patty and in many cases (at least to me) it tastes better than animal meat.

I added the pancetta thinking the patties will be tasteless (like 99.999% of vegetarian food is) but they were FUCKING FANTASTIC (just barebones). You can actually make a good tasting burger with this vegetarian patty, air fried, with a tomato…and nothing else.

seriously.

I took a photo and I will buy more….(it’s from Lidl AND both patties were 2 Euros – unbeatable).

Someone is having summer fun.

This restaurant feels like the restaurants I visited when campervanning along the Greek coast. Why haven’t I been here before. It’s so pretty. The beach is like a fine powder and black sand. Insane.

Probably the biggest news of the year here in Sunny.

LIDL will open (almost) within walking distance of me. It will be one of those huge ones – they are always organized and full of new stuff and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and always tip-top. It’s a nice and basic and super cheap grocery store, super in-out…I LOVE IT.

This is as western style as it gets in Bulgaria!

Best bakery and veggies and fruits, too. This is really amazing news.

PS. Don’t forget to check out the “middle selection” for latest fashions.

When I was growing up..

…I always dreamed of owning a ‘livers and potato pancakes’ restaurant chain. All across North America people would meet for a quick bite, socialize laugh and enjoy a tasty meal.

My slogan would be “FOR LIVER LOVERS”.
