Babysitting





This week I am babysitting, cat sitting, house sitting, fish sitting...  My friend is on vacation in Florida, and I am on vacation at her place. 


I think he is doing well... :)


She called me asking how everyone is doing. Well, here is how: in the morning kids woke up, had a breakfast and drove themselves to school. Yes, those babies I am watching are teenagers, her daughter and my son. 






Wishing them a safe drive, I went outside to check a weather, fed the cat and played with him until he walked away.
Then I did some chores around her house, and went home to do chores around my house, including making some food for the teenagers and The Husband. 


Yeast dough, ground meat...


place the meat on the dough, wrap around... fry on both  sides...


By the time kids called me to let me know that they are home, I was almost done with my cooking.  
I told them what I made for them and they eagerly waited for me and the food. :) 




Although they had some soup when they came back from school, they didn't hesitate to finish up that plate. Kids, I envy your metabolism!


Belyashi, pickled beets and tomato juice with lovage


My calories I had to work out, this time I did it in the pool. 
I do feel as I am having a little vacation on my own...






See you,
Marina
