“La nora encengué un foc de llenya i un cop fet força caliu hi va posar algunes lloses de pissarra -de llicorella, deien ells- després d'untar-les d'oli copisament. Un cop roents hi estengué els conills espellats i espaterrats, ben espolsats de sal.

I truly believe it’s more important to consciously choose what you’re going to eat and enjoy every bite – even if it’s a gooey chocolate cake with extra sugary sprinkles – than to make a healthy diet such a burden that your life stretches out in front of you as a joyless, never-ending round of wafer snack breads. (Let’s face it, chocolate is a divine gift to us all and should be appreciated for the mood-altering drug that it is.)”
