It's past the half way of August and apples are ripening. When I took my boys to their week at their dad, the air was full of apple scent. Autumn is slowly coming and I'm panicking when I think about my challenges, because I'm slowly but surely getting behind my schedule. I suppose I will need to have couple of baking weeks or weekends soon.

( Memories of summer cooking )

Aaaand now that the autumn is nearing us, I will give you one last pic for today's post. I made oven apples with vanilla sauce yesterday. This recipe is not in my notebook, because I know it by heart.

so, see you later!

Yay!!! There's no more snow. It's warm enough to get our spring clothes out. I've been working out in my tiny garden. It's mostly sunny and beautiful outside. Well, mostly. Spring showers ahoy, every now and then. And we've had Ester and birthday party and lots and lots of baking and cooking to do. So let's go, I have tons of recipes or pics for you.

( Spring time cooking )

And I'm too tired to type anymore. Well, more next time.

Ah, Easter is here. Finally feeling like spring is coming. Or something. There's more snow than in years, and two years ago I had already posted about seeing first spring flowers. But sun is shining today and some birds are singing and it feels like spring.

( And here we go )And here we are again. Slowly but surely making recipe after recipe. Thankfully I have two kiddos with birthdays coming up so I can use that as an excuse to bake bake and bake. And I'm pretty sure there will be some edible Christmas presents this year.

Current Mood: accomplished

I was complaining to myself that I have way too many cookie recipes... I don't even eat that much cookies. Well, might as well use this challenge to make sure if I even want to have that many recipes in my notebook. This time I will only share pictures, as I'm pretty sure you can find similar if not the same recipes all over the wonderful world of internet.

( Onwards!!!!! )

Haven't much followed Olympic Games this year, but Finland got at least one gold medal, so you can see people going nuts about it today. At least my twitter feed was filled with news of it. Also I have pretty much spent my time watching Netflix this week. Just because the live action movie of Fullmetal Alchemist, aka 鋼の錬金術師 was released there last Monday. Loved every minute of it, but I think I'm biased because I pretty much love anything with Yamada Ryosuke in it. LOL.

Have a happy weekend everyone

Current Mood: chipper

Ever since my work mate and I started our cleaning duty at work, I've been kind of jealous of her dryer. Run washing machine, load dryer and run it and there you have it. Take dirty towels and mops with you and return them the next day. And me? I had my clothes line thingy up anywhere I had free space and waited two days to get dry laundry. After few times of talking about it, my beloved work mate took her phone and searched one for me for reasonable price. And she found one too. Granted it's 4 years old, but it's was half the price of new (but lower quality) one. AND on top of that, she organized her step son to get it for me, deliver it home and put it on its place. So now I have a dryer. While I'm writing this, it's running and I'm happy that I can use my favorite shirt tomorrow, instead of waiting for two days.

...my life right now is good. Amazing. Freaking impossibly wonderful. *knock on wood here*

But truly, life from the start of the year has been very good to me. Certainly, we've only had like a month of this year and 11 ahead, but if the rest of the eleven months will be even partly this good, I will love the year 2018.

well, there's been bizarre things as well. Like today, when I dropped my sons to have their week with their father, and his 1,5 yrs old daughter saw me hugging boys and demanded that I hug her as well... twice. Well, I can't say no to cuddling small children, no matter how I feel about their parents.

But onwards!!! I have new posts for the challenge. It's going slowly but surely. And I even have few plans for the coming week.

( Challenge post #3 )I hope you enjoyed my rambling recipes again. I counted and without taking into consideration of different cookie variations and drinks I still have 130 recipes to make this year... busy.Well, that's 11 or so recipes per month and since most of them seem to be sweets... good bye loosing weight this year. Ah, well...
