Something sweet – because it is someones birthday today 🙂
A chocolate cake that doesn’t look too complex to bake. Thin & fluffy chocolate base with nuts & marshmallows on top. I think I would add thin banana slices too & then finish off with chocolate sauce on top.
We do not really have the food culture or habits that puts us in candy or sweets traps. Instead of soft drinks, our guys have become accustomed to cold milk – which works well with any kind of food or cookies. We prefer homemade food that is healthy with lots of vegetables & hearty salads. But it’s hard to resist sweets, after dinner, to the coffee or just during a nice family evening together.
Sometimes it’s the freshly baked, the actual scent that is adequate. Or the aesthetics of the baked goods that attracts. I know that it might sound weird but it’s the combination of the taste & smell together with how it looks that makes the whole experience. It doesn’t have to be so fancy, super stylish, big or exclusive. But it’s nevertheless important with the way it looks, you eat with your eyes too, right!
I’ll share a little secret with you – I love donuts. Not the big ones or the regular big size, even if I don´t mind them but those small tiny ones that you have to bite off in small pieces & chew carefully so they’ll last longer. A tip, check out the last image!

The other day on the beach … a lady arrived rather heavily dressed, covering herself from the sun. Well, it’s impossible to stay like that in the heat. So she started taking of her BIG scarf, then her blouse & her t-shirt. Then she took off her sun hat following with shoes & her socks. And for every layer she took off, she then smeared on a layer of sun cream. This took a long while for her to do. She was fully occupied, that by the time she was finished, she went on with the parasol to get it attached in the sand.
To do that, she started to put on her clothes, layer by layer until she completed the procedure with her sun hat. Again, just to keep away from the sun. Well, once she got that done, she sat down to finally enjoy the heat. But it only took her a short while to change her mind. So up again, on with each piece, socks, shoes, sun hat, sun glasses & her big scarf & she went off …  just to walk, not more then 20 meters to the coffee shop in the corner. I stopped watching by that time so you will unfortunately not know how this story ended. I guess she went back with her – whatever she bought – to start all over again with all her garments. Just to find out that she needed to visit the bathroom. And here we go agin…
It got me thinking anyway. But not so much that I had to blog about people or behaviours but more so about layers.
