Friday night is great time for making a cake!

Month number 3, task 5

Nekada je petak veče bilo rezervisano za neke druge stvari, a sada je poslužilo za pravljenje torte. I doček rođendana moje drage drugarice Andree. Podjednako uživanje kao da smo izašle, a i trajalo je podjednako dugo. Da bismo dobile inspiraciju za ono što smo planirale, posegle smo za sangrijom...

/////////

Once was Friday night reserved for different things, but now it was reserved for making a cake. And for welcoming a birthday of my dear friend Andrea. Totally equal enjoyment as if we went out, and it lasted equally long. To get the inspiration for what we have planned, we reached for sangria...

Valjalo je napraviti tortu za njen rođendan. Jednostavnu i bez pečenja naravno, jer cilj je bio druženje, a ne kuvanje u kuhinji. U pitanju je voćno-plazmatična torta. Dobitna kombinacija! Može i recept:

800g plazme

4 jabuke

3 banane

2 pakovanja smrznutih malina

400 g šećera u prahu

1 margarin

frosting

Smarties bombonice

Istopiti margarin sa šećerom. Narendati jabuke i pomešati ih sa plazmom. Dodati umućeni margarin i malo šlaga. Staviti polovinu smese na tacnu. Preko nje poređati maline i iseckane banane. Prekriti drugom polovinom smese. Preliti šlagom. Ukrasiti smarties bombonama. Gotovo!

///////////////////////////////

It was good to make a cake for her birthday. Simple and of course without baking, because the goal was to hang out and to have a good time, and not to summer cook in the kitchen. The cake in question is fruity plazmatic cake (Plazma is popular biscuit in Serbia, the ingredient every house have). It`s a winning combination. The recipe:

800g (Plazma) powder biscuit

4 apples

3 bananas

2 packages of frozen raspberries

400 g powder sugar

1 butter

frosting

Smarties

Melt butter with sugar. Shred the apples and mix it with Plazma. Add melted butter and sugar. Add a little frosting into the mixture. Put half of the mixture on a plate. Cover it with cut bananas and raspberries. Cover it with other half of the mixture. Cover it with frosting. Decorate it with smarties. Done!

Detalji... ////// Details...

Ja sam ozbiljno bila svesna činjenice da je petak veče i baš sam zasela. Posle pravljenja torte i sati i sati priče, predložila sam da joj ofarbam koju šišarku, i doprinesem ukrašavanju njene savršene terase..

////////////////

I was seriously aware of the fact that it was Friday night and therefore I really stayed for long. After making a cake and hours and hours of talking, I suggested her to colour some pinecones, and that way to make a contribution to decorating of her perfect balcony.

Sitnica... //// A small thing from me...

A onda je došao njen momak, koji je bio divan, pa nas sve te sate ostavio same. Bio je red i sa njim malo da popričam. Posle smo zaključili da je šteta što nisam i pidžamu ponela, pa i da odspavam kod njih, kad sam se već toliko zadržala :)

///////////////////

And then her boyfriend came, who was sweet enough to leave us alone for all those hours. I wanted to talk with him a bit, too. Afterwards we concluded that it was a pity that I hadn`t brought my pyjamas with me, so that I could sleep at their place at the end :)

Summer in the city!

Month number 3, Task 4

Onaj osećaj kada ne znaš šta bi pre, jer je leto napokon tu. I to leto sa tako visokim temperaturama, da zaboraviš da si do juče žudeo za suncem, jer samo o jednoj osvežavajućoj kiši razmišljaš..

//////

That feeling when you don`t know what to do first, cause summer is finally there! And summer with temperatures so high, that you easily forget how you longed for the sun, cause now you can only think about a refreshing rain shower..

A ne! Glavni junaci smo opet moj momak i ja, tj. Denis i ja (izrazio je želju da počnem da ga oslovljavam imenom :) ). I to na Štrandu, gradskoj plaži na Dunavu. Neki kažu da je to i najlepša plaža duž celog toka ove reke. Kao da si na moru, samo što nema spajanja vode sa nebom u daljini :) 

Prvo je valjalo započeti sezonu sunčanja...

////

Oh no! The main characters of the story are again my boyfriend and me, i.e. Denis and me (he wanted me to start calling him by his name on the blog :) ). We were on Strand, city beach on the Danube. Some say that it`s the most beautiful beach along the flow of the Danube. It`s like you are at the seaside, except you don`t have joining the sea with the sky in the offing :)

First, it was good to start the sunbathing season...

..Svako stopalo u pesku mora izgledati lepše...

/////

... Every foot in the sand must look nicer...

Detalji... ///// ... The details...

Osnovnoškolke piju pivo (a mi taman gledali film Klip) :(

//////

Elementary school girls are drinking beer (and we have just watched the movie Clip - a brutal view on wrong values among the youngsters in Serbia :( )

Tamo ću te voditi.... ///// I`ll take you there...

Na jednoj strani plaže program za decu... //// On one part of the beach there`s a programme for children...

... a na drugoj zabava za mlade...//// ... and on the other there`s a party for the young...

A valjalo bi nešto i popiti na kraju napornog dana na plaži :)

//////

It would be good to drink something after a long and difficult day on the beach :)

Novi Sad je čudo!

Novi Sad is a miracle!

Girls, girls, girls!

Month number 3, Task 3

Ima nešto u tim "ženskim večerima"... Za samo par sati nekad možemo uraditi toliko različitih stvari, a nekad i samo običan višečasovni razgovor može značiti kao najbolji izlazak. Oduvek sam se puno družila i sa muškarcima i sa njima zaista prijaju neobavezne šale i priče, i beskrajni izlasci. I ono "nije mi teško ništa".. Ali, oni duboki razgovori, cinične i dvosmislene šale, i teški hedonizam, vezuju me najviše za moje drugarice. Od kada nas je progutao ovaj "odrasli" svet, dragoceno je kada uspe više nas da se nađe, kada možemo da odvojimo nekoliko sati jedne za druge, a da smo barem približno jednako umorne :-/ A kada to uspemo da iskombinujemo, uživanje je zagarantovano!

Meseci su prošli od kada nisam uspela u jednom cugu da se nađem sa obe moje drugarice, glavne junakinje ovog posta. Jedna je majka jedne male preslatke princeze, a druga je do skoro imala 24/7 posao. To veče je bilo naše veče, i maksimalno smo ga iskoristile!

Veče je moralo početi laganim zagrevanjem....

//////

There`s something about the "girls nights"... For only a few hours sometimes we can do so many different things, and sometimes only one long conversation can be as the best going out. I`ve always been hanging out with male friends too, and with them I like those unbound jokes and stories, and endless parties. And that "I`m for everything.. Everything is OK for me.." But, those deep conversations, cinycal and ambiguous jokes, and complete hedonism, I connect mostly to my girlfriends. Since we`ve been caught up with this "grown up" world it`s more than precious when more than two of us manage to hang out, when we can separate a few hours for each other, and then to be almost equally tired :-/ And when we manage to do that, the satisfaction is guaranteed!

Months have passed since I had met the two of my dear friends (the main characters of this post) at once. One is a mother of on sweet little princess, and the other one since recently had a 24/7 job. That night was our night, and we have used it to the fullest!

The night had to start with a little warm up...

Bilo je teško odlučiti se... //// It was hard to decide...

.. ali je prioritet od početka bio ovaj:  ///// ... but, the priority was this...

Ništa bez večere. A sada smo sve tri sve vičnije u kuvanju, pa možemo i same... No, za svaki slučaj, valja se podsetiti recepta...

/////

Nothing without a prope dinner. Since all three of us are more and more experienced in kitchen, we can do it by ourselves now... However, just in case, it`s good to be reminded of the recipe...

.. "Joj, šta ću prvo!?"...  /// "Hmmm, what will I do first?"

Nemoj da me je neko deranžirao!!! (Nisam trudna, to je samo majica :) )

/////

Nobody can dearrange me!!! (I`m not pregnant, it`s just a t shirt :) )

Mmmm, nešto lepo miriše!  ///// Mmmmm, something smells nice!

 

.. a bilo je i ukusno... //// and it was tasty....

U pitanju su taljatelje u sosu od vrganja. Recept možete naći ovde.

//////

The meal was Tagliattelle in a sauce with cepe mushrooms. I saw the recipe on the Internet, but since it`s in Serbian, I`ll translate it to the english readers...

60g cepe mushrooms

1 onion

2 slices of garlic

1dcl of sour creme

1 teaspoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of butter

1 teaspoon of ground paprika

4 teaspoons of parsley

500ml of soup

1dcl of white wine

salt, pepper

Put mushrooms in water and leave it for 1/2 hours. 1/5 of mushrooms you take out from the bowl, put it in a pan and cook it with soup for 15 minutes. Chop onion and garlic. In a frying pan heat olive oil and butter, and then put choped onion and garlic into the pan. Fry that 1/5 mushrooms with them. Add wine and boil it until it vaporizes. Then add mushrooms with soup, litlle by little, until you get wanted density. Put salt, pepper and parsley. At the end add sour creme, and mix it until you get wanted density. Bon appetite!

Moderne domaćice znaju da se snađu... ///// Modern houseviwes know how to manage...

Valjalo bi još jednom nazdraviti za dobro (smazano) jelo... //// It`s good to toast once again for well prepared (and eaten) meal...

Uuuu daaaa, ovo je jedina prilika kada ćemo stići i nokte da nalakiramo... ////// Oooooh yeeeeah, this is the only opportunity to colour our nails (since we are in a lack of time)...

.. a ne valja kući otići bez dezerta... //// ... and it`s not good to go home without a dessert...

.. detalji.... /// ....details...

.. i onda puuuuno razgovora, i smeha...

VOLIM SVOJE DRUGARICE!!!

and then lots and lots of conversations and a good laugh... I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!

Weekend off i tradicionalno srpsko venčanje /////////// Weekend off and a traditional Serbian wedding

Month number 3, Task 2

Tema ovog posta je odlazak u Novi Kneževac, malu varošicu na severu Vojvodine, rodno mesto mog momka. Glavni junaci smo upravo nas dvoje. Dugo nismo negde zajedno putovali, pa koristimo priliku da i od posete njegovih roditelja i drugara napravimo veliki događaj i avanturu. Svaki doživljaj zavisi od toga kako vidiš stvari oko sebe.

Odmah na početku smo "prošetali" nove naočare :)

///////

Subject of this post is our visit to Novi Kneževac, a small town on North of the region Vojvodina (where I live), birth place of my boyfriend. The main characters are the two of us. We haven`t traveled together for a long time now, so we use every opportunity to make a big happening or event, even from the visit of his parents and friends. Every experience depends on the way you see things.

Right at the beginning we "walked" our new glasses :)

Prizori u nekim delovima Vojvodine su divni. Mnogima je dosadno da gledaju ravnice i poljane koje čine bogatstvo Vojvodine, ali prema ovakvom nizu drveća koje kao zavesa štiti put, niko ne bi mogao da ostane ravnodušan. /////// Sceneries in some part of Vojvodina are magnificent. It`s a flat region of Serbia, and many people are bored to look all the plains and valleys while driving, but to this row of trees that has protected the road like some curtain, nobody could stay indifferent.

Prvo smo svratili do momkove bake, u selo Padej, od svega oko 3000 stanovnika. A tamo prava seoska idila... ///// First, we dropped by to my boyfriends grandma, to the village of Padej, with only about 3000 inhabitants. And there we saw a real village perfection...

... drva se već spremaju za zimu... //////... billet is already prepared for the winter... 

.. na selu nije važno kako iskombinuješ odeću. Važno da je udobno... ////// ... on village is not important how you combine your clothes, as long as it is comfortable...

... potom smo se pridružili svatovima... Prvo se uz muziku išlo po mladu... //// .. and then we joined the wedding... First, with music we went for a bride...

... mladoženja je tremu smirivao pevajući i veseleći se od samog početka. Pravi domaćin! .... ////// .. the groom managed the nervousness by singing and dancing from the sole beginning. A real host!

 

... posle toga, ceremonija se nastavila u crkvi. Ispred koje je baš bila gužva :) ////// ... after that, the ceremony continued at church. In front of which it was really crowded :)

 

.. i onda smo se zaputii na slavlje... /////.. and than we went to the wedding party...

... od 400 zvanica! Dok su neki igrali i pevali... ////// ... of 400 guests! While some were dancing and singing...

... drugima je bilo zanimljivije ispod stola :) ///// ... to others it was more interesting under the table :)

 

... jedna pozerska slika za moju omiljenu fashion bloggerku taktata.... //// ... one posing photo for my favourite fashion blogger taktata...

.. i primetila sam da su na slavljima sada hit punđe i ostale slične elegantne frizure, nasuprot puštenoj kosi. ///// ... and I noticed that on festives all kinds of updo hairstyles are more popular than "free falling" haircuts.

Šta vi mislite? //// What do you think?
