Happy Easter

This year unlike last year Easter is exactly how it's supposed to be, warm and spent mostly outside. We are again at Kamil's parents' since my parents are enjoying meeting their first granddaughter this time.Yes! I've become an aunt and can't wait to meet little Stella, she is the cutest tiny human I've ever seen. So this Easter is extra special and my little baby seems to feel the same way. I really love being pregnant but wish time flew just a tiny bit faster. 

Happy Easter to you all!!!

We baked easter cake with lemon curd and it turned out pretty delicious if you lile sour desserts. 

Here is the recipe.

For the crust:

250gr plain flour

150gr cold butter

30gr sugar

1 tbsp sourcream

zest of 1 lemon

Blend the ingredients in a food processor or knead quickly only until they're are combined. 

Refrigerate for 15mins while your oven warms up. 

Place the crust in any baking tin you like and bake for 18-20mins in 180C

For the lemon curd:

3 large eggs

juice of 3 lemons

zest of 1,5 lemons

100gr cold butter

100gr sugar

In a heat proof bowl whisk the eggs with lemon juice, sugarand zest and place over a pot of simmering water. When the mixture starts to warm up add very cold butter, spoon by spoon until it melts. After about 5-8 minutes of constant stirring it should start to thicken. Do not cook it, take it off and leave to cool completely. 

Decorate with almonds, chocolate chips or dried fruit. Enjoy!

Hello there! It's been a while...again. I don't know if it's my lack of inspiration or exhaustion caused by the neverending winter in Poland. Maybe it's both. I'll be honest here, I've been thinking of calling time of death for this blog many times. But somehow it's become a part of my life, very teeny tiny but it really did. I've met (only online) so many interesting people here, found so many wonderful blogs, read so many inspirational posts. I've been struggling with some problems of my own and many of these blogs have helped me look at them from a different perspective, they made me set my priorities, knowing them will help me change and I need this change although it is a long process. 

Let's say I'm constantly adjusting my frequency and knowing there are so many people in the blogspot community going through similar stuff helps...a lot. So, I think I'll stick around for a while longer. Receiving emails and comments from you makes it really worth it. 

Well, anyway, we visited my parents this Easter which looked and felt more like Christmas. We spent it indoors most of the time. If not Ginger we would have stayed there for the entire time. The trip to my parents was horrible and very dangerous, at least the journey back was decent. This is what we saw on friday, when we were supposed to set off. 

...at least it was warm

...and Ginger had a blast, seriously, I've never seen my dog this happy.

The beginning of this post may sound a bit pessimistic but we are both fine, we jumped almost as high as Ginger :) Life is good, at least most of the time. 

When it comes to food we have nothing fancy to brag about this time. We made some cookies and cakes last year but this time I was a complete failure in the kitchen. Not only did I come up with just two recipes but the first one ended up in the bin and the other was lemon polenta cake I made a while ago. These were supposed to look like these and I was so excited. Once I put them upside down the real fun began. I watched them all slide down the sticks in slow motion, one by one. It's funny now but believe me...it made me shed a tear. 

 I hope you had a wonderful time this Easter. If you have some more interesting pictures of the easter table feel free to share it here with us.
