How to make:

Just put ketchup on your tortilla, add your topping and grated cheese. Then put it in the pre-heated oven (200 C degrees). Let it bake till the cheese have melted!

before going to the oven

dinner is ready!

BON APPETIT!

caramelized almonds!

The other day I made caramelized almonds  for my best friend for Valentine's Day and seriously they were so easy to make. It took less than 10 minutes. And oh how good my apartment smelled after caramelizing them. I made them quite a lot so I had a little bowl for myself. Now I have eaten them all of course, but I plan to make these soon again! :) 

PS! I love this little glass bowl. It had Nutella chocolate cream in there actually and now I am reusing it!

food experience - peanut butter

Sometimes I want to try something I have never had before because I think I might like it. I just get that feeling. Sometimes I try it and regret - I realize I do not like it.

Anyway, I blogged about my love for KitKat peanut butter chucky chocolate bar. Yeah! I love that taste! So, after that I started thinking about peanut butter like crazy...Don't ask why, I don't know. I just started dreaming about having a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast. But I had actually once had peanut butter sandwich before. My friend sent me a jar of peanut butter from USA. He also sent me different sweets with peanut butter (candies and cookies). I loved the sweets very much, but I just couldn't eat the actual peanut butter that came with the jar. I don't know why, but I didn't like that taste at all!!! But now I thought my taste might have changed and I might like peanut butter now. When I came back to Estonia I bought a jar of peanut butter. I was so excited to get home and to have a good peanut butter sandwich (I also bought a freshly baked white bread!). But what a disappointment. It didn't taste not even closed to what I dreamed of.  I just didn't like it at all. Yuk! 

I don't know why I keep thinking I might like some things when I actually don't. The same was with chai tea. I couldn't wait to buy it and try it, but when I did I didn't like it. 

There's one more thing I want to try because I am just curious to know if I like it. It's avocado. But I have a bias to think I don't like it. We'll see. I will definitely post about my avocado experience when I have had it!

mixed feelings

I arrived back home few hours ago. When I was leaving Jay and Finland I left so weird. I was excited to get home and to start university again, but I didn't want to leave without Jay. And when I arrived home I realized how empty I feel without him. It's nice to be at home, but not without him. Our apartment seems so empty and I really really miss Jay. It's true what they say - home is where your heart is! My heart is always with Jay and I really feel so good with him anywhere we are. Good thing is that he's coming home on Saturday morning already! So I don't have to be sad very long. I hope university keeps me busy this week! I cannot wait to have a nice weekend with Jay :) I am waiting him home :)

When Jay was at work yesterday I finished knitting my second sock of the second pair. When I got them ready I put them on, watched figure skating and started knitting a new pair of socks - this time for Jay :) I just want to try to knit a bigger socks. I choose dark gray color for him. 

I had a delicious wrap for dinner, from Deli Express. I bought it when I arrived to Tallinn. Now I am going to have an apple for snack and then I will take a hot shower and watch one of my favorite tv shows.

 Watching figure skating end ejoying my new socks :)

Knitting a sock for Jay :)

Delicious wrap for dinner :)

~ on Thursday you have to smile ~

It was so beautiful weather outside today again! So, when Jay went to work I was walking with him. The sky was clear and blue, sun was shining. It was pretty cold though. But we were walking so fast that I felt quite warm. But yeah, when I was walking back home I was somehow so tired..and so I walked quite slowly. When I arrived home I was so cold. I was shaking. And I still am. To prevent getting sick, I decided to have a huge and strong lunch - potatoes, chicken&creme sauce, little piece of meat and beet&garlic salad. I know chicken and meat are wierd together, but like I said I really needed a strong lunch! The beet and garlic salad was so good! It had so muh garlic in it, so I guess I just can't get sick now :) I'm having some chocolate for lunch now!

 

I was watching Pretty Little Liars yesterday night. O.M.G! It's getting more and more scary! I love how interesting the storyline is! I can't wait for next week's new episode!!!

 

Aww, my best friend Elisa just sent me a video where she's opening the Christmas gift I sent her. It took pretty long to arrive there, but finally it did. She and the video totally made me laugh and now I am wearing a huge smile on my face the whole day long! She's the bestest friend anyone could ever have! I am so lucky!

 

Elisa was trying on these slippers I sent her for Christmas :)

my new pair of socks :)

I finished knitting the second sock of the pair yesterday. So, now I have a new pair of socks. I am so proud of myself. LOL

Of course I started a new sock yesterday after the other got done. I just couldn't wait to see what pattern this new yarn will have on my sock. It's really pretty I think. But I will post the photo of my new pair of socks when they are done. Right now I am knitting the first one. It looks so nice :)

 

 

 

 

a perfect winter day!

When I woke up today morning and removed the curtains from my windows, O M G ! I saw the most perfect and most beautiful winter day! There was so much beautiful white snow, the sky was so clear and blue and sun was shining! I love today's weather! It just doesn't feel right to be inside! The weather asks you out for a walk. I will go walk to Jay's work in about 2 hours. I hope the weather stays like that. I want to take some photos! Right now I took some photos from my window :)

 

These photos aren't the best to show off this wonderful weather, but believe me - it's so beautiful outside!!!

 

 

KitKat peanut butter chunky - obsession

When Rebecca visited Estonia she gave me a little bag of different candies from USA. I have eaten them all. One of the candies were Reese peanut butter little cups. I must say that I don't like peanut butter on my sandwich, but I do love peanut butter in candies! So, I fell in love with these Reese peanut butter candies. But when I had eaten all I wanted more.

Then I saw a KitKat peanut butter chunky chocolate bar in the foodshop. I had seen it before too, but I thought I didn't like it because I don't like peanut butter. But after eating these Reese candies I decided to buy that KitKat bar, try and see if I like it. O'boy! I love it! While being in Estonia I ate at least 6 KitKat peanut butter chunky chocolate bars! It's my totally favorite right now! I love the peanut butter saltiness in chocolate. So yummie! I could eat them forever (or so I think). Jay of course discovered my obsession/attiction and bought me so many KitKats :)

I actually know that if I start liking something and I eat it very very much then soon I get sick of it and don't want it at all. So, I try not to eat it every single day... I just don't want to loose my love for that amazing chocolate!

Me with my new fav chocolate bars!

 

at home in Estonia

I have realized that I blog much more when I am in Finland than in Estonia. Probably because in Finland I have always so much time.. But yeah, I spent 5 very nice days at home in Estonia with Jay. When we arrived on wednesday we were so hungry and bought a huge pizza, ate that and then went to his dad's place. His dad spent a month in USA so we went to his place to hear about his trip. We had given him some money so he would buy us some things we wanted from USA. I wanted two things: Hershey white chocolate and a candle from Bath and Body Works. Jay asked for much more. But what a dissapointment. I did get the chocolates, but not the candle. I also got yoga pants from Victoria's Secret and also to tops from VS, and a t-shirt from Ecko Red. All I got was very nice and I like them a lot, but still I was dissapointed for not getting one thing I wanted. I know for sure that they went shopping a lot and Bath and Body Works is in every bigger shopping center. But it's okay. I might get one when I go to USA one day.. whoknows when. Jay got two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts. I saw from his face that he was dissapointed too. We gave quite a lot money and I supposed we were waiting for much more things..But at the same time I know it wasn't our trip and his dad of course wasn't thinking of our gifts to much as about everything else that was going on on his trip :)

He also gave me a mug from Florida with my name on it and two fridge magnets. I will take photos and add them here when I'm back at home.

Anyway, on Thursday I went to Rocca al Mare school to give 3 classes in 4th grade. After that I went foodshopping and then just spent time at home with Jay. I made a dinner and so on. On Friday and Saturday I was in university. Every evening after getting home I made a dinner. And on Sunday before going to harbour to go back to Finland I also made a lunch. Jay said too that wow, we didn't go out for lunches and dinners not once - I was cooking every single day! It was very nice actually! :)

Now we are back in Finland and I am cooking tonight again :)

 

While being at home I managed to knit a sock a little bit and oh, I did a lot of cleaning.. I threw tons of things away (mostly university paper works). I didn't get everything done yet, so when I go back at home I want to finish the winter cleaning :)

 

PS! It was so nice to see my friends in university again! It was so good just to talk to them and hear how their break was!

But now I am enjoying my last week of winter break! I am going back to Estonia on 27th Jan evening..and on 28th Jan starts uni classes.

what I managed to do in autumn

At the end of Ocotober I wrote an autumn list..things I wanted to do in autumn. It's already winter (since 21st Dec) and I think it's the last time to check what I managed to get done.. and some time this week I will write a to-do list for winter!

I want to do:

• drink hot chai latte - DONE (didn't like it at all!)
• succeed as a teacher (have an intrernship coming!) - DONE (internship was fun and went very well!)
• burn a lot of scented candles - DONE
• cook a lot! - HALF DONE (could have been cooked more)
• bake a blueberry-banana cake - NOPE (totally forget about it:/)
• enjoy dark days as much as possible - DONE (I did! I burnt candles and listened to music!)
• have a bowl of Ben&Jerry's New York Chunky flavor!!! DONE
• spend awesome time with Jay - DONE (I had an amazing time with him whole autumn long!)
• go to movies to see the last 2nd part of "Breaking Dawn" - DONE (I really liked it!)
• read Cecelia Ahern's new book - DONE (I ordered it, read it and loved it!)
• do all the Christmas shopping (so I wouldn't have to deal with it in December!) - HALF DONE (I always get new ideas just right before Christmas, so I had to do some more shopping)
• celebrate 13th of November with Jay - DONE (was such a wonderful day!)
• go to a restaurant for a romantic dinner! - DONE (we had such a lovely time!)
• be well and healthy! (not getting cold anymore!!!) - HALF DONE
• have a shoulder haircut?! (still deciding to do or not to do that) - DONE!!! (can't believe I actually did it. Lol. But I will let them grow them long again)
• drink fresh smoothies for breakfast - NOPE (I had them usually after dinner time!)
• have fun and my dad's 50th birthday! - DONE (it was very fun!)
• clean windows :/ (it needs to be done before winter!) - NOPE (decided to do that in spring)

I am pretty happy with myself. My autumn was pretty sucessful and I got to do and enjoy the things I wanted! It's actually pretty hard to write to-do list for such a short yet such a long period of time. I might start thinking what I want to manage to do in the winter. There are few things, but I feel it's much easier to write some resolutions or wishes for the whole year (like I did in one of my previous blog posts).
