June 2020

To be frank this month had been even nice and easy to me. I almost forgot about the pandemy, the weather is still sweet and warm, I had a lot of free time and in general is good.

We always experience thunderstorms and rains in June, this is every year and this year the same. The most interesting is that a few weeks ago all the media, authorities etc were claiming that an extraordinary drought is coming. The drought that massive like never before! Like 150 years ago... And now we have floodings and it pours cats and dogs everyday.

My African  snails are still alive and it costs me a lot of work. I must change them their soil from time to time. I use coconut pressed box, it gives wonderful aroma while you are pouring warm water to it.

They love to eat raddish leaves, cucumber and sepia skeletons. Also dried oat flakes.

My dog is doing fine too. We go for our walks everyday and recently I decided to stand in the stream too. I have cheap and solid sport sandals and I found one place in water with no mud on the bottom. It was lovely! The water was so clear and cold...

This is something similar  to cotton, don't you think. I am not sure what it is but I love it. I got it home because I wanted to try it as a cotton bud to remove the makeup. Unfortunately it turned out it becomes sticky.

And this is my soup from red lentils, champignions, onion, beef cubes and garlic. With nigella and was delicious. This is my own recipe.

I hope you are having good time too.

Tee from vintage shop

This is my T- shirt I bought in vintage shop and then I forgot about it. Recently I discovered it again somewhere in my closet and I am in love with it now. This is very nice cotton and I've been wearing it during very hot summer days. I love the print of the falling stars and the fact that it is made in Poland.

I have paid very small price I don't remember very proof, but surely under 5 zł, that means under 1 Euro / Dollar. I feel very comfortable in yellow, this is my colour and I also love the fashion of this tee.

I hope you like my tee.

The cakes I baked during the pandemy

I think it has become a trend. Baking during the pandemy, the lack of yeast in many countries, here in Poland too. I use to bake often and for me it wasn't a new thing, although I am aware lots of guys started to bake during their lockdown time because they had the opportunity which normally has not been given to them.

The first cake is called miodownik  that means honey cake. It is a Jewish recipe I found in old Polish calendar. I baked it for the first time and I must admit it was delicious! I added Polish wood honey and also walnuts. I want to bake it again, but now honey is over. Wood honey is very expensive here in Poland.

The second is a lemon cake, from the recipe I found on the sugar packaging few years ago. This is very fat and also delicious cake, I bake it rarely because it has been really fattening. This is also a glaze in the recipe but I skipped it, as I am not a massive lover of a glaze at all.

And here is the third one and it is mini carob bun from my own recipe. I love carob and as a dog owner I do prefer to bake anything from carob than chocolate or cocoa. Dogs cannot eat chocolate but they tolerate carob very good.  If you want me to share some recipe tell me in the comment and I shall publish.

Today we experience the first really warm day this summer. I did some shopping and I washed my hair, also I took my dog for the longer walk. We were in the woods and near the pond. She took a cool dip. Maybe tommorrow I will bake again.

May 2020

Hello everypawdy!

So the May is gone. The spring this year has been very difficult for all of us. I don't have to tell you that... Here in Poland in May we experienced some progress if it comes to the restrictions. They opened restaurants, cancelled the limit of passengers in public transport, allowed people to walk without masks. I love it, although sometimes I think it could be back. I mean the cases can start to rise and the restrictions will be back, so I am hesitant about it all.

This spring is rather cold and the average day temperature in May was under 20C, also lot of rains and windy days, which I don't especially like. Hope the June will be much warmer. I am doing some renovations  in the apartment and I am busy or exhausted. This is why you don't see me on here often. I must deal with it and then it will be done.

I was browsing my books and I have selected these I want to keep and other I will try to sell or donate. I have a lot of books I want to read but still the lack of time. I listened to my old everegreen songs like old The Cure hits, it makes me feel better even if it is sadness in this music. I baked a few cakes I will show you later. I think maybe I will start baking blog. Also I selected my clothes, for donate and some of it I threw out.
