A random smattering...


An interesting experience: I adapted a banana bread recipe to make zucchini bread..and somehow it tasted like white cake--who makes white cake by accident? 

It looked like the accident was that someone poured zucchini in the cake..instead of zucchini bread accidentally turning into cake.

Now, I realize that such 'breads' are actually very cake-like in nature, but when it was warm out of the oven it honestly tasted like white cake. I was baffled. Who does that?? :)

We have also made all sorts of tasty things recently--well F has made them and I have enjoyed them with gusto! Here we had salmon, croquettes and cute mini tomatoes with mini basil leaves from our Basil plant, named Basti (Sebastian). (He also has a friend named Peter, our parsley plant).
------
We have also had lovely snow recently. On one of the last days where I rode my bike (I have since caved and started riding the bus), I came home fairly soaked through. I therefore went up and asked F if he wanted to go out and play in the snow--because I was already wet :)

We made a cute snowman, with a rock mouth, horse chesnut eyes, etc. However, by the time we had climbed the 2 flights to our apartment, taken off our wet boots, I looked out the window and two punk kids had already knocked the head off! And then pushed the abdomen off and kicked the base. Punks...Ah well. We had our fun--and so did they :P
------
I had gathered berries--fun white ones, that are hollow and are fun to step on and pop, as well as mini red rosehips to add to my Advent wreath. However by the time I came to making the wreath, the white berries had wilted somewhat and deflated. The other day I looked and them and determined that they look exactly like stale popcorn tastes. :)
 
However I still also made a nice wreath with wire places for the advent candles to sit. We also have an adorable little Christmas tree, named Sven :)

I wish you all a very happy, merry Christmas and many wonderful thoughts of peace and Christ and love!
