Nice surprise!

That was a nice surprise yesterday in the office:
as we move inside the office, everybody checked the boxes and shelves.
They found a new year present of a person who left the office, and decided to give it to me)).

Quite sweet, don't you think:

Finally, my first cake!

So, today i finally came home after work:
totally sweat, with new mixer and scales (to weight myself after cake, probably))).
No tram going to our direction, i was going by foot, it's like on the war!!
Drums, people, chaotic, kids, shouts!!!AAAAAAAAAAA!

But, let's talk about pleasant stuff- it took about 2 hours totally:

and here is the result:

 ММММММММММММММММММММММ!

Retro equipment!

So, yesterday - having day off and listening to Fastnacht music I ve decided to make a cake!
Yes, a cake! First in my life, with self made everything!)

Then I ve found out that I do not have the right form for making it.
I bought it and some products.

And theeeeeeeeeeeen i ve got the veeery retro thing - my mom's mixer!
I think no one, really no one already has it!

The production year is 88!!!!! it costed 35 rubles! Huge sum in that time!
And my mom gave me as you know they do not like to throw anything away.
So I put it in the plug and tried for a sec - worked! Good!
Put away and started with the products.

Then mixer made some strange noises and there was a smoke out of it!!!!!!!!
I thought it out to the balcony being afraid it will blow up!

So, there was no chance for a cake this day anyway!
Today, I ll took a chance to buy a new mixer and finally make a cake!))))

So icecremyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Hi!

Here are aaaalllll the variants of icecreme!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Will do some of those this weekend!)

Cooking

Moving in Basel and having a lot of free time and hungry husband in the evenings opened in me some cooking talents). Actually it became fun for me to cook, cause: 1. there is now someone to cook for, 2. i am quite good in it. Actually my husband also cooks, but it is something i was raised with that I enjoy to cook for my man).

Before in Moscow, my fridge had usually cheese, milk, maybe yogurt... there were some sweets and coffee, water and fruits. I was cooking once a week just for myself. all other evenings i ate either in cafe or at the friends' or at home but just fruits. When i moved i was face to face with food cult)), you meet friends-you got to eat, you meet parents- you got to eat, you go outside-you go for the picnic. People like to eat, they like  to cook, they share the recipes, they compete! And portions here are almost the same as in Germany.)

So, what were the best moments f my cooking summer:

Tyortiy- the cookies, which are quite famous among those who was a my mom's place))

Meatballs with puree

Nice breakfast with rice porridge, toasts with basil and fruits

Pasta with mushrooms and zucchini

So, there are some troubles with translation - in Russian this is Жульен with mushrooms and chicken.
But the translator had other ideas)):

Next- some of sweets:

Here is one of the brunches we did for friends:

And of course, here is our Christmas meat my L. cooked:

Recently, i ve found the link
Great Food pics
and pics there motivate to cook all day long)).

Now, i am getting a master of bouillon, as we both sick at home,
but i will share some new things soon)).

Fresh vitamic C juice

One of my dreams now- to have this beauty at our kitchen and have orange juice anytime):

New in food habits

So, as some of you know, i am quite picky in food. But sometimes even my taste changes. So 2 new tastes in my life: mango and fried marooni  My husband continues saying: you neeeed to try everything! But i am still stubborn))
