Granola


As you maybe noticed, that recently all my posts are about FOOD, this post also will not be an exception :)
I am going on experimenting in my kitchen. This time I decided to make Granola or it better known as Musli in Lithuania. It is really delicious for breakfast with milk or yogurt and one more reason why I started to like it, it is very quick and simple to prepare: you just mix different type of corn, nuts, season it with honey and spices like cinnamon, vanilla suggar. Put everything in the oven and bake until it changes color into brown. Thats all! You have breakfast for long time. Just do not forget to buy milk or yogurt :)

Marshmallows

Marshmallows is one of my favorite candies, when I start eat I can not stop until all packet is empty :) They are so sweet and soft. I just can not stop :) If you do not understand me, it just means that you never tried marshmallows :D
Yesterday, I decided prepare marshmallows myself for the second time :). First time was not successful :( But this time it was better :). This time they are really tasty, soft and seems to be like bought in supermarket. All colleagues also liked them :).
One more thing I like about marshmallows, that it is very easy to prepare marshmallows, all you need it is GOOD blender(mixer). It should be really gooood, because you need whip white of eggs with syrup and gelatin about 10 minutes!!!. I think I need new mixer after yesterdays marshmallows cooking, because my mixer was not so good and next time can be the last, when I use it :(

When PC is boken

Today I am sad :( because my computer is broken. It had boken just before I wanted copy all data into DVD :). Luckily, to my opinion, main board had broken, so all data in the disk should not dissapear. Of course it is just my guessing, exact diagnosis defined when I bring it to repair shop. I just hope that it does not cost much to repair my PC :)

Pizza + Spaghetti ice cream = Stomachache


Today I was in Italian Gelato cafe, where you can eat pizza and choose from huge variety Italian deserts. I ordered pizza with mocarela, mushrooms and ham(Prosciutto). Pizza really was similar to that I ate few years ago in Italy. It was very delicious, like home made!
Also in this cafe I founded one desert which I wanted to try "Spaghetti ice cream". It is ice cream served as spaghetti with strawberry jam and white chocolate pieces. View in the plate is very impressive. But I do not like white chocolate and strawberry jam, I would change these ingredients, fore example, to red currant jam and it will be perfect!!!
Although combination of pizza and ice cream was not the best to my stomach :( Now I am lying on the bed with stomachache :( I think tomorrow will be better :)

Crepes


It is not Italian cuisine, this time :) It is my family cuisine, my grandmother, mother and my father often prepared Crepes for breakfast when I was a child and it is strange that they used the same ingredients, but crepes was different :) I liked crepes and still like them in different way. Sometimes I like them eat with jam, sometimes with salted cream, sometimes with butter also with different ingredients inside the crepe: banana, sweet curd or even mince.
Today I decided prepare crepes using recipe from "Beatos virtuve" book. I think I succeeded: prepared smooth paste and crepes was very thin as I wished and was very similar to ones in the picture :) Tomorrow I will taste it for breakfast :) I think with salted cream :)

Pesto !!!


Yes, again Italian cuisine :) You might think "Oh, she is crazy" and will answer "Yes, I am" :). You have not heard the main part: Today I maid Pesto, from home grown Basil :) I grew it myself! Watered it every day and it became huge, leaves look like grapevine :). So Basil was from my windowsill, all other ingredients: huts, Parmesan, salt, vinegar, olive oil from the shop :) I mixed all ingredients in needed proportion and vualia :) Pesto is done! Of course, lots of green color left all over the kitchen: on the floor, walls, table on me :) BUT it worth this. This green sauce and pasta mmm... or Italian bread(ciabatta) with pesto - wonderful sandwich :)

"Breaking Dawn"


Today I feel regretfull, because yesterday I finnished reading last book of Twilight Saga": "Breaking Dawn". Love story as always ended happily :) Every time we expext, that every love story will be with happy end. But I still feel sad, because it is ended. From the moment I finnished the book, I feel that something is missing. And this is true. I will miss that wondefull feeling when Bella and Edvard fall in love, when they where suffering and can not be together, when Edvard and Jackob competed for Bella's love, when Bella and Edvard where happy on their honey moon, when they and their family where fighting for their lives with other vampires. Every moment in this book is full of mistery and does not matter that sometimes I could guess the subject, I liked this serie of books and read it with huge pleasure. I will miss that feeling :) I think I will read it again after some time :) Maybe I will found something new in this book? Who knows? :)
