Beet

Beetroot salad was a rather usual dish, especially during winter time while I was growing up.
I still like it very much but the version I make nowadays is very different from the one my granny made.
So here it is - roasted walnut, garlic and beetroot salad with some yoghurt. 
A lovely dish at any time.

Hunger games

Very often when I happen to be ravenous the best thing is a pasta. 
So, an olive, tomato and basil pasta it was for lunch today.

Roses

We have some climbing roses in our little garden that are blooming nicely at the moment.

30 degrees by Celsius

As we had 39 degrees by Celsius today, salad seamed like a good option for dinner.
A peach and rocket one this time.

The times when walking to work in the morning temperature was -35C are far gone in a far away country.

Christmas spirit

I guess our rose bush is doing its best in decoration department.

Home made ginger bread is also nice, especially the smell!

Brown thing

I know, it does appear suspicious.
I just happened to realise when I looked into the calendar that Christmas is next week!
Well, it is rather hard to guess if I were to believe my eyes that say that it is summer out there - that's Australia for you.
Anyway, I made ginger bread/spice cookie dough and it will have to sit in the fridge overnight before it can be transformed into cookies.

Amaretto peaches

Sometimes I want something good. 
That's what we said as children when we really meant that we would like to have something sweet.
So, I hade a small ricotta and peaches stewed with amaretto.

Roses

I found these amazing coloured roses from today's market.

Peonies in Tartu Botanical Garden.

Roasted fig and rocket salad

Fig season has started.
So, I made a roasted fig, parmeggiano, rocket and walnut salad for evening.
It turned out really tasty.

If I ever are in the need to see something genuinely beautiful, I go and visit

It is nature photography at its best.

Going green

A green summer salad, followed by a green and luscious figs.

One pizza two ways

We are just embarking on pizza making road.
So, in order to take full advantage of our appetite abilities we made two pizzas out of one.
Eggplant and shrimp we equally good but rather different pizza toppings.

Banana and cranberry porridge

I quite often have porridge for lunch. 
This time it was a banana and cranberry one - very tasty.

This pasta dish came to existence by accident and turned out to be delicious.
