Wonderful weekend,

Another weekend is soon becomes to it's end and new week arrives. This weekend has been quiet but in the same time very good one. It has been a weekend for our selves.
In Saturday we took a long powerwalk together with our dog outside in this wonderful weather. I love winter and not only me. Even our small silly dog loves winter. So much snow, what can be eaten :) We had good time out in nature. With winter it looks so pure and so clean. Specially can that be seen the places there salt and sand is not set. Just so wonderful. So many people does hate winter and snow, but me, I would love to live out in the forest and to enjoy a winter wonderland.

We also took bit time to us selves in the evening. Had a good food, good wine and candlelight music. I had not had wine or any alcohol over 17 months. I did not want to mix alcohol and morphine and wanted to be morphine free before I take a glass or two. Good red wine for venison meat was a perfect combination.

 

 Today we spent a cozy day at home after the visit to city. They have opened a new game shop in Jönköping and we decided to go look it. It will not be last time, we will visit it :) Both my interest of games was there and also my husbands interest of games. It will be good to see, what kind of games they will take more in. After I invited my husband to a Espresso House. I got in the morning a good news, what made really my day. I thought it was a good chance to celebrate it. After 11,5 months this news was well needed.  And in my opinion, if I want a good coffee in this town, I need to go to Espresso House. Bit same as in Estonia I get a good coffee in Coffee In. Me, I will never say no to a good Coffee Latte :D Especially today. After I visited Kappahl. I found a perfect sweater to me. It fits with my red dress as well with other clothes. It feels once good to go and make some shopping where I can really try everything and not to feel very bad, that the shops does not have clothes in my size or that the choice is so narrow.
Now, it will be a lazy time for the evening. Tomorrow is a new day and new week. Many things to do and fix. In the same time to have some meetings and other things on the agenda. Hopefully I also can start to do some handwork, since now the new computer is installed with needed software and only thing what I need to do is, to connect my sewing machine with computer. After that everything is done and ready.  Now, I hope that you all will enjoy good evening and spend a wonderful time with your family!
Have a nice evening!

Weekend,

 

Again Sunday has arrived and that also means, weekend is soon over and Monday is here again. For me, it has been 4 wonderful days off from everything. My own time among with family. Thursday I had a small trip with a friend to Skåne and most of the weekend we have spend in countryside. Have cleaned Christmas away and visited Skara. I bought on Friday one book by Nora Roberts and it was so good, that on Saturday I needed to go and find a part 2 of the trilogy :D I must say, that I got very happy when I found it. It felt in the morning on the other hand, when I was need to wake up.
Time on countryside just flies. At least it feels like that. It is good time usually. Time, when I can have my own thoughts and just to relax and let everything else to go. Only thing I miss is, my family in Estonia, but soon I will see them.

As Minion says, one more day between Saturday and Sunday in a good weekend, would be something I would really need.
Weekend for me, I have decided, that I have to do it more often. It feels good to have my own time and still I am with others. At least I have fix some more things after a 9 months absence, in my office/hobby room. It felt really good, since I have got my interest to do handwork, back again. Now I just have to fix the new computer I got for my embroidery program and after that I can start to make my things again. My own patterns and other fun stuff.
Now, it is time to just enjoy the evening. Tomorrow starts new subject at school. Last one finished on Wednesday and I managed even my oral exam with good grade. Hopefully the next one will be same. Now I just want the ice to smelt so that I can also start to run. My first competition is not very far away, since time just flies, when you are happy or have good time and I need to prepare bit for it. I have not run that kind of competitions for a very long time.

Have a nice evening!

A Happy Girl,

Today I finally got my long waited package. Just after the New Year I ordered a training clothes to me and today they finally arrived. After my weight-loss so far, I can have small size clothes and therefore I decided that if I need to buy some clothes, what I will use often, when I buy quality clothes. And again I bought my clothes from Peak Performance.
This time it was a long tights for running. I decided that since it is something I can do together with my dog or by myself, when I will start to run. When I run last year, it felt so good, so I will start to do often this year. Last year I also promised to myself that I will try to take part at least of 2 races. Of course I will not run for win, I just want to feel good and do something for me. I promised this years promise to myself, that this year will be my year and to take part of those 2 races is something what I will do to myself just for at feel good. Also because, I never have had opportunity to run longer distances since I have been very big and weight a lot.
Together with tights I also bought a sweater. On the other words, whole kit a person needs to take time to herself. That should help me to take off the last kilos I want to get rid off. Just around 20 kilos and I am happy. Ok, might be, that I am happy also if it is just 15 I will loose, but my own personal goal is 20 :)
On the same time, I do not care how much it goes down, since I already have won by getting so far. I miss just my training companion and she is in Malta :D She was a good motivator and that is needed once in a while, but she is just a chat away and that is also enough. For now :) Now, it is time to go and take a long walk with Sally.

Have a nice evening!

Blueberry pie,

Yesterday was a slow Sunday at our home. In some reason I got an idea to bake something for the afternoon coffee and the result was a blueberry pie. Since it was good one, I decided that I can share the recipe with all of you :)

Ingredients:

2 egg
2 dl sugar ( I used only 1 dl)
50 gr butter or margarine
1 dl milk
3 dl flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon potato flour
250 gr frozen or fresh blueberries
Powder sugar 

Whip first eggs with sugar. Smelt butter and add milk. Let it boil up and mix is fast with whipped eggs. Add flour together with baking powder and vanilla sugar. Mix it up.
Take a form with diameter about 21 cm and 4 cm high. Butter it in if it not an silicon form. 
Cover the bottom with blueberries. Pour a tablespoon potato flour over them and mix berries with flour, so that berries are covered. It is good to do it with frozen berries, so that cake would not be runny.
Bake in 175 degrees in lower part of oven for  ca 40 minutes.
Take it out, let it cool down bit and cover with a little powder sugar and it is ready to eat. It also can be eaten together with vanilla sauce or ice-cream, sourcream or so many other ways. 

Bon Appetit!

Easy breakfast,

I do not make often breakfast. Usually I am quite happy to take a bite of crispbread, but once in a while miracles happens and I take bit longer time to make something else. Usually, it is something easy and good and something I will get some proteins out. 
Most often times it is egg muffins I have made. Very easy to make after my opinion. 

Ingredients:

6 egg
1 dl milk
salt
black pepper
half fine chopped red, yellow, green or orange pepper
ca. 15 cm fine chopped leek
5 slices fine chopped turkey sausage

This amount ingredients gave me 9 eggmuffins.
I used a silicon cupcake form. I filled bottom with chopped red pepper. After that added chopped leek and sausage. I whipped up eggs with salt and black pepper and milk. Pour egg and milk mix over the vegetables and sausage. I did not fill forms totally, since they are growing bit while they are in oven. I have them usually in oven about 20 minutes in 200 degrees.
They taste good and in my opinion they are very easy to make.

Bon Appetit!
