Hi again!

As you have probably seen I've had a bit of blog free time. I've been a bit busy lately with my son...and cooking.

Two weeks ago I bought Jamie Oliver's "30 minute meals" and I'm reinventing my kitchen now according to Jamie's "must have" list. It's a combination of kitchen gadgets to make life easier. Fortunately I have most of it but I still need a good set of pans, first class knives and other smaller objects. Lately I bought ice cream scoop. This very important piece of kitchen's equipment comes in handy while serving the potatoes or rice. Does it make the dish look good? I seriously don't know. Never tried. But I'm gonna!

Basically due to the time of year I'm back to square one: Christmas preparation. Yes, yes it's already two days after Halloween so IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS AGAIN!
My in laws are coming over. Unfortunately my parents couldn't come. It's very busy time of year for my dad at work and mum ...mum wouldn't let my dad to have a lonely Christmas. One thing is sure for this year. There will be no roast turkey! I can't handle the meat that looks like an animal. I wanted to try last year but it's beyond my abilities to eat it(the same is for chickens and other meats).

Last month it was Nataniel's birthday. He is two already. I baked a cake but this year not only it tasted great but also looked ...OK (I guess some things never change).



We are having so much fun now with Nataniel. He is such a cutie. A month ago we packed his cot and put him in a big bed. It is so funny when we go to check on him and he is sleeping with his back blocking the door ...or at the windowsill (thank God we have the windows child proofed).
