Family

Funnel cake
When your mother calls you and asks why didn't you  post for a whole week, you know the feeling. My mother was even more specific, she wanted a new photos of the family. Hence, the family post it is. 




Dear mother, your grandson is well fed, skinny though, but well fed. He  also is taller than both of us already. 




As you know, mom, your son-in-law loves history, and he is even wearing it sometimes... We all have hobbies, right? It was also a great getaway to clear up our minds and for a few hours forget about stressful waiting time.
What we were waiting? Some time back in April The Husband took his two days test, after which he would be eligible to apply for a license. Test results were released on June 6th, and he passed! But you, dear mother, already knew that. So that week around June 6th was restless and nerve wracking, filled with anticipation, uncertainty, and at the end, victory and some celebration. 
Then the UEFA Euro 2012 (European soccer cup) started and for the next two weeks we are glued to ESPN. As you know, we all are a huge soccer (football) fans.


And on this inspiring note,

let me wish you all a great and happy week!


See you,
Marina

  2. Ha yes, it's definitely 'football' not 'soccer' on this side of the pond, and as soon as Euro 2012 is done it's the London Olympics - a busy summer for the Brits.

    1. Yes indeed it's football. Why would someone want to rename it?!

  3. Love funnel cake, I've got a recipe that a friend of mine had given me 9 years ago and I can't believe I've still got it! I'll have to share it sometime. You have a beautiful family : )

    1. My picture? It's on the right side of this blog, just scroll up a bit! :) I did my best by asking my husband and son to take a picture of me. Guess what? all the photos were blurry... Yes, my parents read my blog, many recipes here are our family recipes, and my mother brought her recipe book with her when they visited us this January. Blog is actually a way to communicate with my family and friends, that are scattered all around the world. :)
      But you are not alone: my husband doesn't read my blog, he doesn't have time (his words).

    1. I am sure you've tried something similar to it, it's an old traditional in many cultures dessert, very easy too.
