Here’s what made me happy recently…
Fruit salad – a bowl bursting with health.

Rice pudding used to be one of my most favorite treats when I was a kid.
My beloved Mom liked to prepare it quite often. Sometimes she made a rice pudding, and sometimes she turned rice pudding into a sweet rice pie, a lovely comfort food which you achieve by baking sweet boiled rice for a couple of minutes and then you serve it with fruit syrup. I liked that one too. But frankly, I liked it much better when my Mom had a bit of a lazy day and declared ‘That’s it!’ over a pot of steaming and fragrant boiled rice. I can still remember those days… the pot was green, the rice was sweet, and the life was magical.

Crochet Fingerless Gloves – my new pattern.
I like these a lot. They are warm, cozy, and having all those cheerful colors, they are really fun to wear.

Do you remember this Crochet Owl Purse?
The gloves were actually made to match the purse.
A cute couple they make.
In case you’d like to see more details about the gloves, just visit my shop.
Happy weekend, dear friends!
See you soon!
Love,

I am in love with this recipe.
It is healthy, it is perfect if you want to cut back on calories a little, it is ready in a couple of minutes, yet it is very satisfying and full of flavor.
A gem. A total keeper.
And the result looks cute too.
If you try it, dear friends, I am sure you’ll like it…

This is what we need. Simple indeed.

1. To begin, cook the broccoli florets in salty water for about 5 minutes.
When cooked, drain them and rinse them with cold water. Set aside.

Enjoying the small things? Yes, please. Me like that!
Here are a few of them that’s made me really happy recently.
Like visiting Gibby – our beloved gibbon – at the zoo the other day. He greeted us with joyful jumping. We told him we can’t wait for the spring to come because then we’ll be able to give him the apple slices he likes so much. He smiled, waved, and said he loved us so, so, SO much …well, not all that, but nearly.

Next amazing thing – dandelions in January!
What?

A small picnic in pure nature.
