WINTER DAY IN ULLANLINNA
ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE & WARM & PASSIONATE PERSON EVER — SINI
ME PLAYING BAKER IN MY OLD ADIDAS SWEATPANTS & BENETTON SWEATER
I'm not quiet sure what reserve energy I'm running on 'coz my lack of sleep is breaking all records. The weekend sucked all the power out of me. Two days in a row of HC hours of work and later on dragging myself to the regular party session. Go Demi, no party no life. I already begun to regret my decision but, obviously, once I was there, I had no power left to drag myself back home in that freezing cold weather all alone. OF course, I squeezed all my last power to dance a little, chat a little and, in the end, just to sit a lot!
I think I said my good-byes maybe ten times to everybody, got my jacket from the cloakroom.. and after going out and smoking a ciggie.. tadaa, guess what?! I returned to back to the club! The place has some sort of magnetism, can't leave before the DJ's are left, lights are on and staff are heading home as well! No wonder I call it the second home. Maybe next time I'll be wiser and go straight to sleep after a long day and a night at work. Just maybe!
MILLA LEHTO AT WORK
So after Milla Lehto, the resident DJ of the Playground, finished her set, the rest of us who were still there, continued to a friends apartment in the centre to chill-out before heading home. Which didn't happen for a while.. The chill-out session was a better success. Great group of people & a nice chit-chat - just what I needed!
Now, it's Tuesday night, me, with only few hours of sleep behind, and my very close friend Sini, made an effort to bake a cake for tomorrow's party. Iina, the youngest one in our girl-power group, was turning 21. After a few phone calls to check with more experienced bakers, like Sini's dad, on the instructions, we almost made it.. well almost doesn't count. I overdosed triple amount of sugar in the cake base so it turned out in the sugar iceberg after 30 minutes in the oven! Nice job! Didn't help but to do it all over again, both of us wrecked & sleepy were fussing around the cake, trying not to mess up with second trial. After turning the core of the cake three times upside down and downside up, throwing all fruits, jam & cream in there (obviously forgetting about a chockolate) we finally were done! It looked real sweet! Well.. maybe it wasn't quiet straight, and few bananas along with cream were falling out from the sides of the masterpiece but the cake-mission with love was completed! And that was what mattered!
I hope Iina is gonna like it as much as we do.
BIRTHDAY CAKE BY DEMI&SINI
Now I'm off to catch up on Zzz's, looks like Sini has already drifted to another realm, time for me to join her!

Chicken Soup for the Heart & Soul & Cold
Now I gotta let you know what saved me from my flu so I don’t have to keep on bitchin’ like in last post about how yuk I feel...
I am feeling a bit better today, my eyes opened up without bigger dramas, and even though I woke up disgustingly late which is 3 PM, I managed to get myself out of the house to run some errands. Good job! I deserve a pat on my back ;-)
Firstly, I'd love to post pics of what I believe was my cure... Chicken Soup for the Heart & Soul & Cold!
I didn't use the whole chicken this time & didn't make Homemade Chicken Soup by my moms instructions but the Light & Easy version by me would go like this:
Ingredients for Soup:
2 chicken legs
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
3 carrots
2 celery stalks
olive oil
reduced salt veggie stock
pepper
salt
For Garnish:
-lemon wedges
-parsley stalks finely cut
-fresh rings of chili
So I boiled chicken legs in addition with salt in one pot, sautéed veggies in another, after removed chicken from broth, and, after shredding it, added it to the veggies. Don't ask me about cooking times coz' I almost never follow instructions for times unless baking - everything I make is by looking & tasting! Next step - add broth to the new veggie-chicken pot (remember to strain it to make it clear) and simmer for some time until it smells so nice you can't keep your hand off it! After all this jazz make yourself comfortable and eat!
You can see the result along with candles to cheer up the winter blues - Vóila!


Also, sorry guys for the quality of pictures! It's very bad due to my broken camera and no other choice but to use a camera in my iPhone. I hope you can still see them somehow and for the rest you can't, just use your imagination until I get a new gadget to film! I hope Santa heard my wish - I've been a good girl to the best of my ability! ;-)

Good Morning Last Day of November!
It's Tuesday evening, 30 November 2010. It's minus -15C and pitch-black outside my window. The ground is covered with thick layer of snow - yep, I can feel it in my bones we are in Northern Hemisphere! I have been intending to start off blogging already ages ago and every single time something else has come along the way and grabbed my attention! I'm telling you, being Gemini isn't that easy.. My attention span is as long as Gandhis hair - I simply can't focus for too long in one thing!
Nevertheless, I believe that everyone deserves a chance for a good change, and even more importantly all of us gotta try at least ones everything, well almost everything, before saying they can't do something!
Here's one very good quotation I recently discovered again by A. Einstein: "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." Very true that!
Now I can show you what I've been cooking for myself today. I love cooking! Just not that often only for myself. It's always nicer to gather with friends to make some food or to see someone special enjoying and maybe making food with you. But, of course, I enjoy the whole spending time for learning new dishes, and making a nice presentation, too. The presentation that is appealing is a half meal made, I think! So, let's see what I feel like eating... Tzatziki is the surest one, besides it's been awhile since I had it. And, how about salty version of Poor Knights aka Köyhät Ritarit. Let's see if that combination is going to work!



Here's also few good sites with recipes (mostly in Finnish this time) you can make some good findings over here!

Ufffffff.... You have no idea how much garlic I used into my tzatziki! Can tell you this much... I didn't spare any of it! Ciao ciao my winter flu I almost got... with that amount of garlic & onion on top of my toast, I am sure all the viruses will take straight way to hell! Alas, presentation is not superb as I didn't bother to make it properly this time.
Now time to relax with some flick. See you soon guys!
