It’s cold outside baby, let’s make a delicious scarf.

This is what I thought after I’d noticed lovely skeins of thick and soft green yarn in my local craft shop. The ideas started brewing really quickly, and when I spotted the wonderful wooden buttons in one of the aisles, I could see the project perfectly clearly…

Little things in life need to be appreciated, cherished and shared.

Well, at least I think so.

Here’s what made me happy recently…

Fruit salad – a bowl bursting with health.

Rice Pudding

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.

Oh yeah, childhood… but back to the recipe… this is how I made the treat today…
