La Casa del Chef

Eat and drink is a pleasure for any one and there is one of the thing that I love more than anything, but it could be a big problem if I lose control. I eat a lot, my body ask to me, but I have to do exercise otherwise the consequences are disastrous.

 I love to eat Peruvian food. I love the ceviche of Reineta with a cold beer. I always go with my family to eat in a restaurant called “La casa del Chef” is like a “picada” because is not so fancy and isn’t too expensive. There are several restaurants with this name, but the first one it’s in Diagonal Paraguay with Ramon Carnicer, between Ramon carnicer y Vicuña Mackenna, the second one it’s in Irarrazaval with Av. Italia and the third it’s in Vicuña Mackenna with Copiapó. All preserve the flavor and you can eat a lot of delicious typical Peruvian dishes, elaborated for a Peruvian chef and you´re attended by Peruvian waiters.

I knew it because my brother, who works in the UC Hospital, once invited to me to lunch. In other occasion we went with all our family on Sunday, with the typical excuse to no clean dishes.  Since two years ago we visit “la Casa del chef” very often, because is a place where you can eat very good food, you’re good attended and the place is very comfortable.

Sweet twenty-two

Last year I did celebrate my 22 years old. It was a great birthday because I celebrated in a lot of parts. It was on Monday so my family decided to celebrate the previous day, Sunday. We had an exquisite lunch and we drank a lot of wine and after that all of us took an unforgivable snap.

The next day I came to the U, but it wasn’t any day of university, it was the first month and a half of toma, I had a few meetings and I had to resolve some pending works. At night we did a roast with potatoes and it was amazing! Then I bought like a seven boxes of wine, of two liters each other, and we did “navegado” with orange peel, it was so delicious, besides it was a cold day, so it was good to warm up the body. It was a good night because I felt so much love of all the people in the Toma and besides I was starting a relationship with something very special. The next day of my birthday my father brought to me to eat in a fancy restaurant, my father is so funny that I laughed all night; we went with my older brother and his couple.  
Two weeks later a good friend of futbolito FAU invited to me and that special person to drank wine in his house, we ate fried almonds in salt and a lot of nuts, and of course we drank an exquisite wine.
It was a great birthday because I felt really loved for a lot of people.

I love swim!

I have a lot of outdoor activities, i like to climb hills, i like to play football but now my favorite activity is swim. I’m swimming in the pool of university localized in metro Cal y Canto, next to La Vega. I’m training 6 days a week, I don’t go on Sunday because the pool is closed, but if it be opened sure I would go too. On Mondays and Wednesdays I train with a professor of the faculty called Sara, she’s a great teacher, I learnt a lot with her because she has a good technical teaching, besides I swim since I was a little girl, my father taught me in the sea when I was 4 years old, but I never knew the technical of swimming, this is my first time and I learn very fast, I guess I know the principles of hydrodynamic.
I love this activity because I love water, my mom always says: “you’re like a sea dog” because I can pass hour in the water swimming, playing all alone, knowing some places that you never can’t see if you don’t go swimming. Besides when I leave the pool I felt the sportiest in the whole world. In three weeks my body changes considerably and I’m very happy with that. I felt a connection with water, like come back to a natural state, like when we are in the belly of our mom. When I swim, above all in natural places, I felt my soul full.
I swam yesterday at 1 pm and we have a day of competition training and I had a good participation that makes me very happy. Maybe very soon I can compete. Today I’ll go again at 6 o’clock.
