Stuffed Peppers

Was about time, finishing this stupid degree kind of took me away from my real passion, wasting time efficiently! Now I have no more college I am done forever, well unless I need to go back in Sept to repeat the last 2 exams…but I am not planning on that! So now is summer time, not weather wise of course! Cause here in Dublin summer was at the end of March and that was it! So this is going to be my first summer “all” in Dublin after 3 years and probably the last one for a while or forever so it better be a good one! I have a couple of projects in my mind and festivals and the rest… well, we shall see how it  goes! In the meantime enjoy this!!
