A/N: This was written for @curly-haired-disaster sept. 2018 AKF Challenge [see here].

The first day, you woke up feeling like you hadn’t slept enough. You stayed in bed, hoping to fall back asleep, in vain. You got up a bit later than usual, and, after your morning routine, you went to the kitchen. You found Dean cleaning his guns, telling you Sam was out for a jog and that there was some leftover fruit salad in the fridge. You didn’t feel like eating much, so you just had a coffee. The day went by. You went to bed but couldn’t sleep.

The second day, you woke up late but so tired again. You wondered why you slept so bad. You shut the thought out of your head, got dressed with the clothes that were on the chair from yesterday, and went to the kitchen. When you entered, Sam and Dean looked up from their computers and stared at you.

“What?”, you said. “You got a serious case of bed hair,” Dean said, raising his eyebrows. “I think you just forgot to brush it,” Sam said. You scowled. “What are you? My dads?” Sam tried to explain. “It’s just because you usually brush your hair a little before coming for breakfast, that’s all.”

You frowned. You flattened your hair this way and that. You knew it was not helping, but why does Sam care anyway? You’ve been crashing here for a few months now, he’s seen you with bad hair. What’s his problem this morning? What, Mister Winchester wants you to always be pretty? You’re not pretty, you’re a hunter. Come to think of it, actually, could you really call yourself a hunter? You were not a very good shot, you didn’t run very fast, and you didn’t know half as much on lore and monsters as Sam. So why were they letting you live here anyway? You wanted to tell him to shove it, but you’d make him angry, you’d fight, he’d tell you you were always useless anyway, Dean would say it was Sam’s idea to let you come and live with them, and then the boys would tell you to pack and leave and you’d be out on your own again, on the road, without an address.

The boys were still staring. Dean asked you, “Are you alright?” You answered, “I know, my hair looks bad. Big deal.” The brothers looked at each other, utterly confused. Dean said, “It’s not about the hair. It’s… it’s…” Sam caught Dean’s train of thought, “It’s because it’s unusual. If you were in your pj’s, OK, but usually, when you’re dressed for the day… Anyway. It’s fine, we all have bad hair days.” Dean chuckled, “Not me! haha!” He turned to you and, looking at you, became serious again. “But, um, yeah. It’s alright. Forget it.” He shot a questioning look at Sam. All this concern about your appearance put you on edge. “What the fuck is it with the focus on my hair this morning? Don’t you have anything else to do?” Dean snapped back, “What? Hey, wo!” You knew it. You knew you’d fight. This is it, you thought, the beginning of the end. You saw Sam turn to Dean and, between clenched teeth, tell him “Dean, come on!” Dean gestured in your direction and said, “But…” Sam just sighed angrily at him, and, with a look, shut him up. Meanwhile, you hadn’t noticed, but your heart felt heavy and you were certain that, if you’d been alone right now, you’d cry. What is wrong with me, you asked yourself, staring blankly at the wall.

You got pulled out of your trance hearing Sam say “Hey, hey, hey!” as he got up and quickly got to you. You just had time to look up to see his open arms close in around you, and feel yourself lifted up like a doll, too immobile in your head to remember you’re supposed to put your arms around him too. He put you back down. “[Y/N],” he said as he took your hair out of your face and put his hands on your shoulders, “What’s going on? Did you have a nightmare or something? What’s going on?” Your brain didn’t seem to work. You looked into Sam’s eyes. The only thing you saw is their colour. Actually, their colours, plural. There was some gr- “[Y/N], What’s going on?” You blinked. The only echo in your mind was Dean snapping at you. “Why is Dean mean to me?” As you heard yourself say it, it sounded idiotic. You heard Dean right beside you – when did he get there? “Look, I’m sorry.” He put his hand on your shoulder. You turned to look at him. He seemed worried. “Come on, come sit. I’ll bring you coffee.”

You sat at the table, your brain still empty. Sam sat beside you, his body turned to face you. A coffee mug appeared in front of you. You looked at Dean’s hand, a strong, masculine, yet gentle hand, as he turned the mug so the handle was just right for you to pick the mug up. You didn’t touch it. You watched Dean sit and look at you. Your brain echoed that feeling you had that you were probably going to have to pack everything today because the boys would be done with you. It suddenly seemed very stupid. But you still felt it. You looked at Sam, then Dean, realized they looked genuinely confused and concerned. Of course they won’t kick you out. But you still felt it.

Then it hit you. It had been so long, you had happily forgotten about it, that fucking Beast of depression. Everything made sense now. The tiredness, the irrational moods, the anxiety, the certainty that things would go wrong, so certain you’d acted out on it and made things go exactly how you feared they’d go. Except, they didn’t. In all fairness, Dean didn’t really snap at you. It was more of a surprised response to your snapping at him. Sam had run to hug you. Dean had brought you coffee. You felt like shit for being so weird with them and yelling at them. You felt a surge of hate for the Beast – because, to you, it was a Beast. That thing messed up your judgement about everything.

“Kiddo?” Dean got you out of your head again. You chose to not tell the boys. You didn’t want their pity, you didn’t want them to try to fix you; it didn’t work that way. You made a show of letting out a big sigh. “Sorry guys,” you said, looking at the table, “I just really didn’t sleep well. I’m just super tired. I’m so sorry.” You looked up through your lashes. They seemed to have bought it. Sam pulled you in with a big hug. “Hey, it’s alright. Don’t worry about it. Bad nights happen.” This time, you remembered to put your arms around him. You knew it calmed the Beast. Sam smelled good, too. You gave him a little squeeze and you let him go. Dean asked you, “Hey, I can make you breakfast. What do you want?” “Um, I’ll stick to my coffee for now. Maybe when I’ll be awake, I’ll be hungry.” “Fine by me. Just say the word when you’re ready.” You actually smiled. “Alright. Thanks.” You glanced at Sam as you were taking a sip of your coffee and he smiled and winked at you, and patted your shoulder before turning back to his laptop.

During the day, you all did some research in the lore for the current case. You listened to the boy’s conversations. You declined Dean’s invitation to clock some shooting time in the range in favour of a nap. The nap didn’t happen, but you had found fics on tumblr about Thor and Loki. Some of them were pretty funny; some of them got your mind busy with interesting images. Man, they’re brothers! What the… Anyway.

You heard a little knock on your door. “Come in!” The door cracked open and Sam asked, “Dean wants to know what you want for dinner. He’s going to head out for groceries.” Uh, that was new. Dean always just bought the food and winged it. Sure, sometimes, he’d ask if you or Sam wanted something in particular, but not for a whole meal. You were all used to eating what’s available. Dean also knew pretty much what everyone liked, so it all worked out anyway. “[Y/N]?” “Oh, sorry. Um, seriously, I have no idea.” Sam chuckled. “Yeah, me neither. We’ll end up with burgers and pizza again if we don’t come up with something.” You shook your head. “I’m really sorry, I really have no idea.” Sam hung on the doorknob. “I don’t know… Maybe something you haven’t had in ages? Maybe something your mom used to make?” Uh, something your mom made that you liked… “Oh, I know! But it’s a bit strange.” Sam gestured for you to continue, “hey, strange is our life!” “Haha… Yes. It’s spaghetti, no sauce, but with butter, and with corndogs on it.” Sam’s brows furrowed. “Corndogs.” You laughed. “Cut in slices and grilled in a pan. Plus, a ton of cheese, and the whole thing put to broil in the oven.” Sam’s eyes widened. “My god…” “I know. Starch, salt and fat heaven. Sorry Sam, no veggies allowed. Haha!” Sam shook his head as if he tried to shake the idea of that dinner off. He raised his eyebrows. “Fair enough. Starch, salt and fat heaven for dinner tonight!” You flashed him a smile as he closed the door.“

Corndoghetti? You even gave it a name?” Dean exclaimed, as he put your plate in front of you. “That’s awesome!” “Thanks!” you said, laughing, as you took your fork to attack the humongous plate Dean had made for you. “Seriously, Dean, you think I’m going to eat all that?” He pointed at the plate and looked at you. “Kiddo, you ate next to nothing for the last two days, so do yourself a favour. Eat.” “Alright, alright.” Dean had a knack for cooking and he had managed to make this ridiculous thing taste even better than you remembered. It was also fun to eat, that big pile of noodles glued in a glop by the melted cheese. As you battled with your food, you looked up to see if the boys liked it too. Dean seemed to be in the same heaven as you, and Sam seemed to enjoy himself too. In the end, you managed to eat half the plate. Dean seemed content with that.

Dean sat back against the wall, patted his tummy. “Man, that was surprisingly good.” You smiled and turned to Sam. He smiled, “Yeah. Not too often, but yeah, once in a while… Yeah. It’s oddly satisfying.” Dean turned to Sam, offended. “Oddly? I think you mean ‘Super’.” That made you giggle.

Dean changed the subject. “Hey kiddo, while you were slacking off this afternoon, we got intel on where to get the crystal we need. It’s a bit far, so we’re leaving at 7 sharp. We’re gonna pack our gear tonight.” Just thinking about getting up early for a big day of sitting in the car, fighting people or monsters, escape, drive back… you were exhausted. “I think I’m gonna pass.” Dean was surprised. “What? Why?” “I’m too tired. If I go with you, I’m going to be a liability. I’d rather stay here.” The boys looked at each other. Sam said, “You’re sure?” “Yeah, I’m sure. I’ll take the day off, try to rest.” The boys looked at each other again. You knew they were understanding each other about something. “What? I see you, guys. What is it?” Sam said, “Nothing. We thought you’d like a change of scenery. Plus, you never stay back.” You probably looked like you were about to argue, because he quickly added, “No, but it’s fine. You need to rest, so stay. It’s OK.”

You went to your room since the boys were busy packing their gear. It didn’t take long before you heard a knock on your door. “Come in!” It was Dean. “Hey there,” he said. “Heyyy. Oh, thanks again for the corndoghetti. It was just… mmmmmm!” “Oh, thank you. I’m going to make that again. Maybe not this week, but sometime.” “You’re welcome.” Dean leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms and stuck his chin out at you. “Wanted to know, how do you feel about a movie?” You answered, surprised, “You… You’re done packing?” Dean laughed softly. “Sweetheart, how long do you think I’ve been doing this job? I’m packed, it took me 10 minutes.” “Oh. Um…” Dean walked the 3 paces from the door to you. He extended his hand. “Actually, I just decided that your answer is yes. Come on.” “Come on where?” “To my room. I have a bigger TV than yours.” “And Sam?” “He’s waxing his buttcrack.” You frowned, suspicious. “Really?” Dean threw his arms in the air. “I don’t know. And quite frankly, I don’t want to know.” He shook his arm at you, his hand extended again. “Come on.”

Usually, when you watched a movie with Dean, he insisted you get comfortable on the bed, him taking a chair, putting his feet up on the bed. But not this time. This time, he told you to scoot over and he sat right next to you. Seeing you take your distance to give him space, he objected. “No, no, stay close. If you fall asleep, I don’t want you to fall off the bed. Stay here.” You were surprised, but it was so sweet of him. You got back next to him. He started the movie, some lighthearted comedy. Funny enough to keep your mind busy – which was good – but light enough you soon felt groggy and you lay your head on Dean’s shoulder. He whispered a little “hey…” and wrapped his arm around you, pulling you in. You kind of smooched yourself in a little bundle against him. He gave you a little kiss on the head. He was warm. His breathing was deep and even. Your eyelids got heavier. You felt him move when he chuckled.

Next thing you knew, the silence woke you up. You took a deep breath, unbundled yourself from under Dean’s arm and sat up. Dean spoke softly. “Hey, you can sleep here. I’ll take another room.” You rubbed your eyes. “No, it’s fine. It’s just 2 doors down. Thanks.” You got up and walked to your room. By the time you had changed into your pj’s, you were somewhat awake. You had a hard time falling back asleep.

You woke up the next day to a silent bunker. You checked the time. 8:30. You kind of remembered sleeping through a bit of noise earlier. The boys were gone to get the crystal.

Having the bunker to yourself felt a bit like being more free than usual. For example, you realized you could take the longest shower and no one would complain about needing the bathroom nor that there’s no more hot water left. You also didn’t need to worry about carrying – or forgetting – your clothes to the bathroom. You liked this.

You stripped, went to the bathroom naked, and got the water running. You rummaged through Sam’s hair products and chose the most perfect combination of scents. You took your time and even gave your feet a good scrub job. You washed your hair and put some conditioner that needed to be left in five minutes. It stayed in 15 minutes. The scents were soothing. When you finally had enough, the shower was so misty it was like breathing a cloud.

As you walked back to your room, you heard a voice behind you. “Hello, [Y/N].” You jumped, almost slipped, screamed and covered yourself the best you could before you realized it was Cas. “Good lord, Cas! You scared me!” “Oh, I’m sorry. Why are you naked?” “I just got out of the shower!” “But you don’t usually walk around naked.” “Well, the bunker was supposed to be empty!” “Oh.” “Why am I… I’m going to get dressed now.” “OK. I’ll be in the library.” “Alright.”

When you got to the library, Castiel was reading a book in Enochian. “The amount of grammar mistakes indicates this is a poor translation.” You stopped short. “A translation… into Enochian?” Castiel looked up from his book and closed it. “Yes.” You wondered why the angels would need something translated into their language, but you had a more pressing question. “So, Cas, nice to see you, but why are you here? Cause the boys aren’t here, so…” “I came to see you.” “Why?” “Because I hadn’t seen you in a while. I like spending time with you.” You squinted at Cas. And it dawned on you. The boys knew you were a bit off these days. They had called Cas to make sure you wouldn’t spend the day alone.“

Cas?” “Yes, [Y/N]?” “How much exactly are the boys worried about me?” Castiel’s eyes widened, and he looked at the book in his hands. “What? They’re not… Um, I don’t know.” You walked to Castiel, took the book out of his hands, put in on the table. “Cas, it’s alright, you can tell me. It’s clear they sent you to babysit me.” “That’s not what they said. And you’re a grown human. You do not require babysitting.” You laughed a little. “Cas. Seriously. Tell me.” He looked at you like a puppy caught doing something wrong. “They said you seemed quieter than usual and you might need some company. They asked me to come and spend the day with you.” You decided to tease him a little. “So you didn’t come because you wanted to see me. You came because you had to.” The look of confusion and disbelief on his face was priceless. Fishing for compliments with Cas was so easy. “Why would you say that? I always love spending time with you!” You patted his shoulder. “It’s alright, I’m just teasing you.” “But it’s true.” “I know, I know. Love you too, Cas.”

“So, Cas, what are we going to do today?” “I don’t know. I saw a fair on my way here. People seem to enjoy themselves at fairs.” So you went to the fair. Castiel agreed to go on every ride, insisting on going on the rides you were unsure about. He explained he found it fascinating how humans devised ways to trick gravity in order to give the body sensations. He wanted to try them all. It was hilarious to see Castiel sitting stoic on every ride, studying its workings. He assured you he enjoyed himself. After lunch – Castiel didn’t let you forget to eat – you tried your hand at winning a plushie, but, being a so-so shot, wasted quite a bit of money. “I’m bad at this,” you told Castiel, after losing at the 6th stand. Castiel asked, “Which stuffed animal did you want?” You pointed, pouting, at a giant Toothless. “That black dragon with green eyes, there.” Castiel gave money to the man at the stand. He took the balls and threw them all exactly in the right spot. The man congratulated Castiel. “You’re very good, sir! You can have one big plushie or 3 little ones.” Your eyes sparkled. “Really?” “Yes miss. I believe you’re the one choosing. Just tell me which.” You chose a small Toothless for yourself, a Batman for Dean and a cute little monster for Sam. You were beaming like a child. “Thanks, Cas.” “Anytime, [Y/N].” For the rest of the afternoon, you walked around the fair and redid a few rides again. Before leaving, you bought a big pretzel for Dean.

Back at the bunker, the boys were in the war room, checking out the crystal they’d just fetched. As you descended the staircase with Castiel, they were all smiles. “Hey, look who’s back!” said Dean, as he walked up and hugged you. He gave Castiel a pat on the back. “So what did you do?” Castiel answered, “We went to the fair.” “The fair?” He looked at you. “OH! Is that a pretzel?” “Yes, I got it for you.” “Oh YES!” He took the pretzel and started on it. Sam walked up to you and hugged you too – a little longer than Dean. “You had a good time?” “Yes, and I brought you presents.” Dean beamed. His mouth was full of pretzel. “Presents?!” You laughed. “Yeah, it’s just stupid little things.” You handed out the little monster for Sam, who grinned and said thanks. You showed your dragon, Dean pointed at it and did a thumbs up. You fetched out Dean’s – “Batman!!! Haha!” he exclaimed, and he snatched it from you.

Sam, Castiel and you all stared at Dean. “What?” he said. You shook your head. “Dean, it’s fine. You don’t have to overdo it.” “Overdo what?” “The excitement. I know you boys don’t care about plushies. I just thought it was funny.” Dean gestured with the pretzel. “This is awesome, though.” “Yes. But it’s fine. The Batman is just a joke.” You turned to Sam. “The monster too. You can use the plushies in the shooting range, if you want. It was just for the fun of it.” Sam smiled, looking at his monster, turning it in his hands. Dean looked at his Batman and at you. He looked at his Batman again. “Yeah. Even if Batman is cool… Yeah. Well, maybe.”

You all sat at the war room table for dinner. The boys had gotten pizza. They discussed the case, told about their day. Castiel told about the intricate ways rides made your stomach churn. You sipped your beer. The conversation trailed off into silence. You sipped your beer.

Dean, sitting in front of you, gestured his beer at you. “OK, [Y/N], talk to us.” “What?” “Look. We know, you know, Cas knows, we all know you know we know… Come on, you can talk to us.” “And tell you what?” “Tell us what we can do. Something’s eating you. You can tell us what it is. We’ll figure it out. We’ll help you.” You really didn’t see that coming. “What?” Sam took over. “Look, we’ve noticed you’re a bit zoned out. You usually have an angle for a case, an idea, or, at least, you play devil’s advocate. You always challenge our theories, you help us. All the time. But these days, you seemed… lost in your thoughts.” You looked at the three men waiting for you to tell them what was going on. They were way too observant; you resigned yourself. “I guess… Look, Dean, it’s not a ‘thing’. You can’t ‘figure it out’. It’s just a wave of depression, it’s fine, I’m used to it, I know how to ride it out.” Everyone looked at you, thinking. Castiel said, “Can I cure it?” “Sorry, Cas, I don’t think so. It comes and goes. It’s a weird thing.” Dean insisted, “Surely, we can help, do something.” You shook your head. “Actually, you’re already doing it. You’re kind and caring, yet still normal. Tricking me into telling you my ultimate comfort food? And making it for me? That was good.” You looked at Dean, Castiel, Sam. “Really, guys, you don’t have to worry.” Sam put his hand on your arm and squeezed. “But we do anyway. You’re family.” You put your hand on his. “Thanks. But I’m better now. I’ll be fine. Promise.” Sam let his hand on your arm, looking you in the eyes. He smiled and let you go.

Everyone called it a night soon after dinner and went to their respective bedrooms. Castiel left for who knows where he goes when he leaves. You changed in your pj’s, something long and soft. You put your little dragon on the night table, turned off the light, got under the sheets. You stared at the ceiling and knew this was not going to help you. You thought, I need a distraction. Not your phone, because the light will keep you up even longer. In fact, you didn’t feel like doing anything. But you couldn’t keep staring at the ceiling, that much you knew. Sam’s face popped in your head. Yeah, you thought, I think Sam might agree to me hanging out in his room, doing nothing. That’s better than staying here, doing nothing. Alright, let’s try that.

You knocked on his door. “Sam, it’s me. Can I come in?” You heard him say “Of course” from inside. You opened the door. The first thing that caught your eye was the plushie monster sitting on the bedside table. Sam was lounging on his bed, reading a book. You caught your breath. It was like you were seeing him for the first time. His hair framed his face perfectly, drawing your attention to his jaw. “What’s up, [Y/N]?” His expression was the softest. You remembered why you came. “Can I just… hang out here with you? I don’t feel like being alone in my room right now.” “Of course,” he said, as he scooted on the bed and patted it, inviting you to sit beside him. “Do you want to talk about something? Watch a movie? Read a book, maybe? I have a few here you might like.” You looked at his hands. The book he was holding seemed so small in them. “No… I don’t want to do nothing… Just be here. You can keep on reading your book, I’ll just… be here. Is that ok with you?” “Sure, no problem.” You sat next to him. He turned back to his reading. For a few pages, you just stared at the book, thinking about nothing. Then, you got to looking at his hands again. His long legs. His big feet. He seemed so strong. Without knowing it, you found yourself leaning against him, getting your head comfortable against his shoulder. Sam rubbed your head with his cheek, still reading. You found a deep interest in a crease in his jeans. Sam’s breathing was like the slow, calming waves of a quiet sea.

“I’m sorry,” you said, out of nowhere. Sam rubbed your head with his cheek as he said softly, “Why do you say that?” “Because I’m not a very good hunter.” Sam let his book fall on his lap. “Nonsense. Why do you say that?” “Because I can’t shoot a gun like you do. Seems to me it’s important.” “But it’s not what makes a hunter. Sure, it helps, but in the end, it’s finding the right information and finding the right monster that counts. You’re good at helping with that. Hunting is a team effort. We all have strengths. Mine are different than Dean’s, and different than yours. Nobody has every talent, that’s why we’re stronger together. And, in case no one told you, you’re badass at close combat. You’re quick, strong and sneaky. It’s a real delight to see you beat up the bad guys. Sometimes I wish I could stop in the middle of a fight just to watch you.” You both said nothing for a moment, thinking about recent battles. Sam said, a little under his breath, “My god… You’re amazing.”

You backed away ever so slightly to look at Sam. You couldn’t help but try and count the colours in his eyes. Green, blue, hazel… Figure out how they merged and yet were well defined. Sam held your gaze as he passed his arm around you. He whispered, “You’re amazing.” You saw his eyes trail down to your lips and back again into your eyes. He pulled you closer and kissed you on the forehead, a long, immobile kiss, as he wrapped his other arm around you. You closed your eyes. He smelled so good, he was so warm. You wrapped your arms around him, under his flannel. You felt his hands grip you tighter.

You leaned back a little to look at him again, your hand coming back on his abs. He put a hand on your face, traced little circles on your cheek with his thumb. He whispered again, “You’re amazing,” and he came in slowly, giving you a soft kiss, closing his eyes, resting his forehead on yours. You kissed him back, a long, lingering kiss. You waited for your heartbeats to slow down a little. Sam said, eyes still closed, “Do you want to spend the night here? To sleep, I mean.” You said yes.

Sam gave you another kiss on your forehead, got up, stripped to his boxers and t-shirt, turned off the light, and came back to you. You both got under the sheets and you nestled into him, your nose in the crook of his neck. Your whole universe became Sam scented. He wrapped his arms around you, holding you close. He rested his head against yours. His deep, slow breathing contrasted with his heartbeat. You squeezed him tighter. Soon his warmth made you sleepy and you felt yourself slipping away. You heard a whisper. “Goodnight, [Y/N].” You mumbled something. You felt a kiss on your head, a thumb stroking your arm. Your heart felt full as you fell asleep.

I’d love to hear from you!

El Chaka Khan del Raval se define a sí mismo como “Gastro Bar Exotique” y, después de la cena de anoche, no podríamos estar más de acuerdo. Platos de la India, Perú, Etiopía, Venezuela, Marruecos… ¡de toooodo el mundo! El Chaka Khan consigue reunir todos los destinos que te gustar��a visitar y presentártelos en unas cartas cuidadas al detalle. Decimos cartas, en plural, porqué en este Gastro Bar conviven dos conceptos y menús distintos: el Chaka, donde nosotras cenamos, es el espacio más informal en la planta abaja y terraza; y el Kahn, en el piso superior, con una barra preciosa que rodea la cocina abierta y donde descubrir cada plato de manera más íntima y romántica.

Y ahora sí que sí, empezamos con nuestra cena. Primero pedimos tres platos a modo de aperitivo a cuál más rico. Por un lado, las INJERA DE TEFF Y BLATJANG DE ZANAHORIA de Etiopía, un substituto perfecto a las clásicas patatas fritas a base de verduras y plátano (las salsas estaban espectaculares). Por otro lado, PAO DE QUEIJO de Brasil, una especie de minibocadillos de carne de cerdo muy tierna en una masa crujiente (que lo de mini no os engañe, ¡el sabor era suuuuuuupremo!). Por último, las croquetas veganas más buenas que hemos probado hasta el momento, las PIAJU CON PIRI-PIRI de Mozambique (otra vez, la salsa nos enamoró).

A modo de platos principales tomamos la arepa de CACHAPA, COCHINO, QUESO DE MANO Y SALSA GUASACACA de origen Venezolano, nos sorprendió mucho de lo buena que estaba así que os la recomendamos, y el PATO FEKKIA de origen marroquí, uno de sus platos estrella y no nos extraña porque estaba tremendo, el higo y el pistacho le dan un toque distinto y el arroz cocinado con aceite de coco que nos recomendaron para acompañar combinaba estupendamente con el sabor intenso del pato.

Como postre, una joya para los amantes del chocolate negro: el GANACHE DE CHOCOLATE. Una bomba de chocolate negro con pan de especias que le daba un toque crujiente y aceite y sal para intensificar todavía aún más su sabor. Impresionante.

Nos quedamos con ganas de probar su pescado CHA CA vietnamita, sus famosos brunchs de fin de semana y la carta del preciosísimo segundo piso. Así que ya tenemos unas cuantas excusas para volver. Su enorme variedad de carta, la calidad de todos los platos, el sabor intenso de los ingredientes, los matices que nos sorprendieron en cada plato… en resumen, el Chaka Khan nos sorprendió en el mejor sentido de la palabra, precisamente, porque nos dejó sin ellas.

The Chaka Khan of the Raval defines himself as "Gastro Bar Exotique" and, after last night’s dinner, we could not agree more. Dishes from India, Peru, Ethiopia, Venezuela, Morocco... From all over the world! The Chaka Khan manages to gather all the destinations that you would like to visit and present them in carefully maintained menus. We say menuss, in the plural, because in this Gastro Bar two different concepts and menus coexist: the Chaka, where we dine, is the most informal space on the ground floor and terrace; and the Kahn, on the top floor, with a beautiful bar that surrounds the open kitchen and where you can discover each dish in a more intimate and romantic way.

And now, yes, we start with our dinner. First we ordered three dishes as an appetizer, and each one was better than the previous. On the one hand, the INJERA DE TEFF and BLATJANG DE ZANAHORIA from Ethiopia, a perfect substitute for the classic potato chips with vegetables and plantains (the sauces were spectacular). On the other hand, PAO DE QUEIJO from Brazil, a kind of minisandwitches of very tender pork in a crunchy dough (that that “mini” word does not deceive you, the taste was aaaaaamazing!). Finally, the best vegan croquettes we have tasted so far, the PIAJU CON PIRI-PIRI from Mozambique (again, we fell in love with the sauce too).

As a main course we took the CACHAPA, COCHINO, CHEESE AND SALSA GUASACACA of Venezuelan origin, we were very surprised by how good it was, so we recommend it, and the DAKE FEKKIA of Moroccan origin, one of its star dishes and it does not surprise us because it was tremendous, the fig and the pistachio give it a different touch and the rice cooked with coconut oil, that we were recommended to accompany, blends beautifully with the intense flavor of the duck.

As a dessert, a jewel for lovers of dark chocolate: the GANACHE DE CHOCOLATE. A black chocolate pump with spice bread that gave it a crunchy touch and oil and salt to further intensify its flavor. Awesome.

We were eager to try their CHA CA, a Vietnamese fish, their famous weekend brunches and the beautiful second floor menu. So we already have a few excuses to go back. Its enormous variety of menu, the quality of all the dishes, the intense flavor of the ingredients, the nuances that surprised us in each dish… In short, the Chaka Khan surprised us in the best sense of the word, precisely because it left us without them.

THANK YOU GUYS!

Baby Mummah @larissakershaw is doing pretty well after the birth of Baby Betty and Baby Betty just can’t get any cuter. Hair and makeup here by the hilarious @misschelseakate_ of @chelseaevansmua (she’s a hoot!). I popped in on the little dumpling Betty, mummy @larissakershaw and daddy @ethanevro last week and we literally talked about little dumplings 🥟. In Australia we have a grocery store called Aldi, and in that store they sell frozen dumplings 🥟 , a bag for $7.99. You can accompany it with Japanese style soy sauce for I think under $2 and well, it seems to be the only thing I want for breakfast, lunch or dinner these days. We opt for the pork dumpos but I did pick up the vegetable dumpos to try too. If you’re in Australia you should definitely give it a whirl. Also, today, Aldi have classic vinyls for only $14.99 each! I’m talking Aretha Franklin (mother of soul ♥️ she’d have her band members line up outside her greenroom and she’d personally count out their cash payments one by one after each show), @elvis ♥️ @itstonybennett (I totally worked with him in the USA too, had to organise his contracted piano 🎹 which was a costly mission but hey he’s brilliant), The Beachboys (I worked with them aswell, may have had a few beers on their tour bus with their Tour Manager during their on stage set. She was from Jersey and only one of 2 female tour managers I worked with and she was awesome), @bobmarley (dude ✌🏼), James Brown ♥️ and more! I’m picking up a few for our record players (plural) that we have, even one that will be placed in our Retro Revival Bed and Breakfast studio we’re building for you guys. You can come, stay and play photo shoots then have your own Midcentury record hop 🎵 💃🏻🎵 You’re Welcome 😊 #PearlDavies #loves #Aldi #pearldaviesphotography #newcastlensw #newcastleaustralia #newcastlephotographers #newcastlehotographer #australianpinup #australianpinups #australianpinupgirl #pinupaustralia #sydneymodel #newcastlemodel #vivalasvegasrockabillyweekend #vlv23 #vlv22 #vintage #midcenturymodern #midcenturymodernhome #vintagestyle #catherinedlish #chelseaevansmua #elvis #tonybennet #arethafranklin #thebeachboys #jamesbrown #bobmarley (at Pearl Davies Photography) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BoyMlpgMZ/?igshid=abyzh85mvlmo

Second hour of Dutch!

You can find the first hour here: http://reyslangblr.tumblr.com/post/162896088294/first-hour-of-dutch Memrise has taken me onto food, and meanwhile I've been learning about articles, negation and pluralisation (if that's a word) What I've gathered is that some nouns take the article "de" while others take the article "het" in the singular form. In the plural, all nouns take "de". There are a lot of rules for pluralisation. Some nouns take " 's", others take "s" and others take "en". You can read more about that here: http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=NounsAndArticles.11 You can also read about negation here http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=WordOrder.45 Memrise introduced the following vocabulary de pasta - the pasta de rijst - the rice de aardappel - the potato de groente - the vegetable de salade - the salad de appel - the apple de banaan - the banana de sinaasappel - the orange de snack - the snack de soep - the soup de kaas - the cheese de kip - the chicken de vis - the fish de koffie - the coffee de thee - the tea de wijn - the wine de melk - the milk de saus - the sauce de boter - the butter het eten - the food het brood - the bread het fruit - the fruit het vlees - the meat het ei - the egg het varkensvlees - the pork het rundvlees - the beef het water - the water het bier - the beer het sap - the juice een citroen - a lemon (it decided to give me lemon as "a lemon" instead of "the lemon") houden van - to like het is - it is heerlijk - delicious walgelijk - disgusting geweldig - awesome; great doen - to do niet - not en - and ik hou van brood - I like bread ik hou niet van pasta - I don't like pasta ik hou van sinaasappelen - I like oranges (note the plural) ik hou niet van appels - I don't like apples het is heerlijk - it is delicious koffie is heerlijk - coffee is delicious ik hou van thee en koffie - I like tea and coffee Happy studying!

And nobody is talking about this… only an elite group of super affiliates even know about this right now. In fact, we probably never would have known about this ourselves if we hadn’t been forced into it.

Yep – we were FORCED to completely change our business – just about one year ago today…

We Got A **Shocking** Email From Google In Which They Basically Told Us To Screw Off And That They Didn’t Want Our Business Ever Again!

This is the actual email that changed the way we do business – and looking back at it now – it’s the BEST email we’ve ever received. Hell we eventually printed and framed this thing!

I’ll explain why in a second…

One day last year I woke up feeling great – had plenty of sleep – the sun was shining and there a pleasantly cool crisp feel to the morning. I’m a bit of an oddball and love Fall weather.

So, I popped out of bed and grabbed my morning cup of Starbucks Breakfast Blend coffee with a splash of creamer.

It was going to be a good day.

Once I got to my desk and I fired up my PC to check my emails – my attitude changed very quickly. You see, as I scanned the subject lines in my inbox to check for important emails…

The one that stood out to me read like this – “Your Google AdWords Account Has Been Disabled”.

My Heart Sank As I Thought About What Was Going To Happen To My Business With No Website Traffic – ‘Cuz No Traffic Means No Money!

Honestly… looking back at it now…

I probably stared at that damn email from Google for like 3 hours — dumbfounded, shocked, and wondering what the hell I was gonna do now.

I had cracked the code I was kicking some serious ass and making SERIOUS money.

And why was I was banned? Well, like tens of thousands of other people, I was an affiliate and they didn’t like my landing pages promoting other people’s offers.

No ‘fix this and you can use AdWords again’…

Just a cold, calculating, arbitrary and anonymous Google email that banned me from AdWords for life.

Well, between you and me, the very first thing I did was panic.

So, after my initial shock wore off I started searching desperately for a steady traffic system to replace my PPC income that had just evaporated overnight – and I do mean OVERNIGHT.

The Next 8 Months Helped Me To Realize That I Had Been Using AdWords Because All The Other Commonly Used Traffic Methods Really Suck!

For 8 LONG, grueling, painful months after that email from Google I tried all the commonly used traffic methods to see if I could recapture and reclaim the success I was having…

First I tried SEO. For about 4 months I dug in the trenches, rolled my sleeves up, and got down and dirty – I actually managed to get ranked for a few of my ‘money’ keywords.

You might think I was happy — well, I mighta been – except, even though I had some rank, the traffic trickled in slowly, and never got to the point where I could build a self-sufficient profit funnel from it.

And… I noticed that every now and then my listings would just ‘disappear’ altogether out of the blue… while a certain Search Engine Behemoth ‘retooled’ their algorithms or ‘updated’ their data centers.

Ultimately, this was a bust for me. Moving on, I tried the other big PPC networks, thinking that maybe my AdWords success would ‘port’ right on over… and maybe I should have tried that first.

Wrong! I could never match the level of traffic I got with AdWords and I couldn’t deal with waiting days – weeks even — for ads to get approved.

PPV became a piping hot topic online (you may remember when everyone and their mother began talking about how awesome it is) so I figured, “there has to be something to this”… and there was… it was great for testing conversions and great for getting fast impressions. It just wasn’t great for getting me profits 🙁

Ultimately (after trying a few other common methods) I went where I NEVER thought I would go.

I tried my hand at article marketing and I got to the point where I was not only writing hundreds of articles, but I was also outsourcing hundreds more per month.

While this wasn’t a complete waste of time, I was spending an insane amount of effort to get these articles written and my income was just under what I would make if I was at a minimum wage 9 to 5 job!

Have You Tried These Exasperating, Frustrating, Mind Numbing, And Wallet Draining Traffic Methods Too?

In that time after I got banned by Google – I tried it all – SEO, MSN, Yahoo, CPV, Article Marketing, Bookmarking, Blogging, Backlinking, and on and on and on – every commonly used traffic method, tactic, and supposed secret sauce for traffic.

I didn’t accomplish anything other than feeling burnt out and wondering whether I really was cut out for all of this.

These commonly used traffic methods were either too time consuming, too complex, or just plain didn’t work for me. And if I COULD get them to work, the money I made was next to nothing.

But… I had once been getting huge traffic and making huge money when I was using AdWords… I knew OTHER people were making a ton online… so I KNEW it could be done!

In fact, once you know what I know now, you’ll be able to send unstoppable waves of crazy targeted traffic anytime, all the time, and you’ll be blown away by the sheer volume of cash sales you create.

Traffic and cash sales like this…

So let me ask you a question…

What would YOU do with traffic like that? What if you could get even 1% of that traffic to buy what you’re selling…

And what if you could just punch a couple of keys on your keyboard, click your mouse a few times, and WHAMMMM – a massive and INSTANT flood of traffic to any site you choose?!?

Could that change things for you? Would that give you the kind of lifestyle you desire – that you DESERVE?

You see, the information I’m about to reveal to you can DRASTICALLY transform your life, your lifestyle, and your financial well being, finally putting YOU in charge of how much money you make every day!

If The Popular Traffic Methods That Everybody’sTeaching Don’t Work, Then What Can You Do???

The fact that you’re reading this page at all proves that you understand that website traffic is CRITICAL to any online success you WILL have.

Bottom line – youÂ need a lot of traffic every day to make aÂ consistent incomeÂ online. Before we share what you CAN do, let us explain what you never have to do again!

Forget all the wasted money…

Forget all the wasted time…

Forget killing yourself for scraps of traffic and small earnings…

And start sending unstoppable floods of highly targeted, extremely interested (wallet in hand) traffic that is searching for what you’re selling…

And it’s so easy, you’ll kick yourself for not having started this sooner.

You can do it in less than 30 minutes a day, make more money than you have ever made before in your life, and spend the rest of your days doing whatever it is that pleases you.

That’s right – you’re about to embark on something so life changing – so transforming – your traffic and income can explode overnight.

A Fortune 500 Bigwig Exposed Me To A Dirty Little Secret Which Changed My Life… And Will Drastically Change YOURS Too!

Right around my weakest time… right around the time I thought I might toss in the towel and go back to corporate life, an old friend of mine named Jim dropped me an email that he was gonna be in town for a couple days.

He wanted to know if I could grab lunch and I thought, “Well, if I am gonna go back to a 9-5, who better to help me get back to ‘work’…”

So, we did meet up at a local place a few days after that email message. I was genuinely happy to see him and it was good to be out and away from my computer for a while.

Being that Jim is an Advertising Executive (for a company that generates more revenue in a day than most people make in decades) of course our conversation veered towards ‘Internet talk’.

And it took less than 5 minutes for Google to come into the convo…

At first we were basically laughing at how easy it used to be to profit from AdWords/PPC… but then I began to share what had happened to me… and how life shattering it had been to lose my AdWords account.

My website traffic… my sales… my income… my entire life had come to a screeching halt.

And then I am ashamed to admin – I broke down – I admitted defeat to my old friend and told him I was gonna be putting together the resume and try to get back in the industry for a normal 9-5.

He Looked Like He Wanted To Slap Me In The Face Right There In Public For Giving Up And Talking About Going Back To Work A 9-5!

Jim wasn’t sympathetic at all – not like I thought he would be – I dunno. I guess I thought he was gonna tell me, “everything will be ok!”

Instead, he looked angry with me…. he looked like he wanted to slap me.

He told me (quite bluntly) that I was insane for EVER considering going back to a 9-5. “Listen”, he said, “you have the life everybody dreams of, including me… you wake up when you want to… you work when and WHERE you want too… you have the IDEAL!”

“Why would you ever give up on that?”

After hearing him put it that way, I realized I had been acting like a martyr… I had been ungrateful for the opportunities that I had in my life. In fact, I was so busy feeling crappy about my life, I had totally ignored the fact that Jim personally manages millions of dollars in ad spending every year for his company.

Instead of getting caught up in how bad things had been – I SHOULD have been bugging Jim for insider info on what he was doing for his company.

Well, I wasn’t going to be a martyr…

I wasn’t going to ignore opportunities…

I WAS going to rebuild my business, bigger, better, and more profitable than ever before. And I was going to ask Jim for help!

Big Companies Only Use Google For Branding Because Google Only Owns 6% Of All Internet Traffic. Big Companies Get Their Traffic From The 94% – Because That’s Where The Real Traffic Really Is!

As you might guess, once it dawned on me that Jim was a resource I should have tapped into long ago – he had the traffic buying experience, the traffic testing experience, and millions of dollars worth of ad spend data to know what works and what doesn’t…

… well, once that dawned on me… I hit him up for every bit of information I could… I mean I grilled him and sucked up every tiny morsel of traffic information I could get out of him.

You might be surprised (I was) to know that his company very rarely even used Google AdWords to advertise -or any other PPC network for that matter…

A company with millions of dollars in their ad budget didn’t even bother with PPC campaigns on networks like Google Adwords… all because the return simply is not there for them.

He went on to reveal that it was more than that though… click costs was just one reason they didn’t use PPC for their advertising.

You see – Google was too small for them.

“Small!”, I said… “how the hell can this multi-billion dollar company that seems to be buying everybody ever be considered small?”

“Small”… he replied… “because Google only has 6% of all Internet traffic. The REAL traffic is in the other 94%!”

I had been looking at website traffic completely WRONG! Â I was thinking too small…

Yes, in our industry we are ‘brainwashed’ early on to believe that Google is the definition of traffic. But the reality is, they only own a small percentage of all the traffic that exists:

You’ll notice that there has been growth from 1% of all Internet traffic to 6% of all Internet traffic since 2007 – that actually is mostly attributed to the purchase of YouTube.

And even with that – there’s still 94% of Internet traffic out there that we’ve been brainwashed to ignore!

If Google Has As Much Traffic As They Do And They Account For Only 6% Of ALL Internet Traffic, Then Why Aren’t You Getting The Traffic You Need Today?

So if there is all this traffic everyone is talking about in Google – and Google only makes up a small fraction of the total traffic online… why aren’t you getting YOUR share of traffic online?

I’m gonna be super blunt here so buckle up.

You’re not getting the traffic you want because, if you’re like most, you’re still struggling with the old outdated methods that haven’t worked for years.

Or, you’re sweating it out, busting your ass trying to get article marketing or SEO to work, backlinking, blogging, and everything you can muster just to get a trickle of traffic for all your efforts.

So, as you may have already guessed, this is all a big fast waste of your time, and will take FOREVER to generate results – assuming they ever do get you the results you want.

How many times have you set up a new site, tried all the methods they have been teaching you, and found yourself refreshing your stats over and over and over again (every day) only to grow more and more disappointed each day.

This is a vicious cycle that 95% of all internet marketers enter into…

… of course, most marketers still keep trying to do these things -Â crossing their fingers… praying… HOPING that maybe, “this time it will work”!

They grow frustrated, tired, worn out – and on the verge of just giving up hope all together when it never works for them.

So hear this – loud and clear. That’s over for you now…

Now, with a few quick punches of some keys on your keyboard… and a few quick clicks of your mouse, you could unleash a Tidal Wave of buying traffic that demands what you’re selling or promoting.

>>> Give Me Media Traffic Meltdown And All The Traffic Me And MyServer Can Handle For Over 81% Off Risk Free Right Now

You see, we’re about to expose you to a brave new world of traffic… easy traffic… LOTS of traffic… traffic that wants what you’re selling, and has the money to buy it – buy it right NOW.

What’s more… you can literally ‘shock your servers’ with massive loads of traffic with a mere flip of the ‘on switch’.

This new world of traffic is referred to in the corporate world of Advertising as Media Buying. And it’s what my old friend Jim taught me that changed my life – and can now change yours.

This is unlike any advertising medium you’ve ever seen before, creating waves of traffic at will. Traffic like this:

Now, while media buying isn’t talked about much in Internet marketing circles because nobody knows this stuff right now (giving you first mover’s advantage).

The fact is – media buying as a traffic model is really not all that new…

After all, media companies have been doing it for years and years with newspapers, television, radio, and now the Internet.

But for some reason it’s never caught on with Internet marketers – probably because most marketers hear things like “get your insertion orders approved” and they think this stuff has got to be hard.

When it’s NOT hard – in fact, you’ll see just how easy this is…

Unfortunately, most of us have boxed ourselves into all the familiar pay per click traffic, SEO, article writing, blogging, bookmarking, backlinking, etc models that just don’t work, cost too much, or take an exhaustive amount of time…

The fact is – media buying is simpler than ANY of these – and the results are ASTOUNDING.

For me, my success with media buying began when I took the list of companies that Jim gave me at lunch that day – and began researching them the second I got home. As I poured into this new world…

… I knew I had to tap into the power of media buying – and I needed to do it right NOW.

After signing up with a few of those companies Jim told me about (and that I had never heard of before that day), I went ahead and set up my first banner ad campaign, which took a total of about 30 minutes.Â

All that was required was that I login and put a little check in the box next to categories and sites that I thought matched my targeted demographic, clicked a button to activate my campaign – and I was done.

I had some errands to run so I popped out for the rest of the evening and was out until late that night. Since I got home late I forgot about the campaign entirely and went right to bed.

The next day I woke up to an email from Jim asking how I made out with the companies he referred, and I hadn’t even checked them yet. So, of course I had to see what happened and I logged into my affiliate account.

When I saw my stats I literally almost passed out!

I was in total disbelief!!!

I knew I had FINALLY found what I had been looking for. And I was about to milk media buying for every ounce of traffic – and for all the money I could!

Over the next couple months I tested, tracked, tweaked, and PERFECTED the methods that Jim had shared with me.

What I ended up with – was a foolproof traffic system that works time and time again.

Forget What You’ve Been Taught, Open Yourself Up To REAL Traffic, And Watch Your Online Business Explode!

The old methods – all the ones you’ve been taught – forget about them.

They cost too much, require too much of your valuable time, and they rarely work. When they do work, the results are minimal at best.

Why spend your hard earned money and waste all your time fighting over scraps of traffic and tiny returns?

When with just 30 minutes of effort (pushing a few buttons) you could unleash enormous waves of targeted traffic to any site you please, every single day…

This revolutionary traffic system cannot be found anywhere else – nobody else in our industry even knows about this yet – and it’s engineered from the ground up to literally transform your life:
