Zoom Yummy Rocks!

Do you still remember this yumminess?

And this?

Or this one?

Yeah – this was one of the sweet days of last summer when I decided to prepare these lovely and delicious Strawberry dumplings.

And do you still remember their story?

I will reveal that again (just in case) – they were not even going to be filled with strawberries.

Only because my boyfriend had eaten all the plums in the house.

And that made me think really hard about what to fill them with…

Now you are probably wondering why I am telling you all that again.

Well, the reason is that this recipe is very lucky.

And I mean VERY lucky.

Because… because… BECAUSE … – it has been chosen to be among other lovely recipes featured in the ‘iPod Application on Strawberries’.

Because there IS such an application!

And it’s awesome!

It consists of 50 mouthwatering recipes made with strawberries by various chefs and bloggers all over the world.

But hey, there’s another side to the story…

That was actually my first day of using a digital SLR camera.

More precisely – that was the first day of me stealing my boyfriend’s digital SLR camera.

And even more precisely – that was when a love triangle had formed in our household.

Me – loving my boyfriend and the camera.

My boyfriend – loving the camera and not loving me so much for stealing the camera.

Well, you can’t have it all, I guess…

Left Alone In Wonderland

A Wonderland – that’s the most precise word coming to my mind when I want to describe this unbelievable scenery.

A wonderful wonderland.

My heart is singing with joy when I look at this picture.

We were lucky to see all this beauty during our yesterday’s trip – the one of the “let’s-just-go-somewhere” kind.

Me, naturally, being armed with a camera – like a true blogger should always be.

And when I noticed the wonderful scenery emerging in front of our eyes I demanded my boyfriend to stop the car – right there, right then.

Which turned out to be not so smart…

Because no matter how hard my sweet darling was trying to make our car move again – the slippery snow was against him.

So he decided to… to… I wasn’t so sure actually what he decided to do.

All I heard was something like: “Can’t go… must go… down.”

And then I saw this…

And this…

And this.

Bye-bye my lovely sweet red car – you were cozy and warm inside.

Bye and have a nice life… without me!

So there I am standing – alone in the silence.

Silence – except this one strange sound coming from a nearby forest.

The only thought in my head being – was that a bear?

‘Time for some action,’ – I told to myself – ‘let’s suppose my BF is waiting for me somewhere down the hill’.

So down I went…

After a while I see him going up – but, of course, not stopping to pick me up.

What kind of a wicked game are we playing here?

Ha?

So up I went  – hoping my boyfriend was not punishing me for all the bad stuff I had done to him so far.

Luckily, there’s this special and very precious thing about me that I really love.

It always saves me when I find myself in a stressful situation – which is like every five minutes.

That highly valued thing being my unbelievably short attention span.

It makes the thoughts in my brain change at the speed of light.

Believe me!

So worried or not – there was this wonderful branch that I started to admire.

Which left no more space in my head for anything else.

And then there was this.

Do you see that magical church framed by the branches?

Amazing!

Oh, there he is!

He is the dearest, he would never leave me here.

‘HEEEEY!’

‘I am HERE’ – I started to scream running up the hill.

‘Wait for MEEEEEE!’

‘Don’t leave me here alone, PLEASE!’

And he did (leave her there).

Not!

He picked her up so that they could live happily ever after.

The End.
