I have to admit, i have been neglecting my blog a bit...i have been busy working on my master's thesis and questionnaires that I hope to administer during May here in Oulu. Well, what i have been up to follows shortly...
FORMULA 1:
On Sunday was the third formula one race of the year in Bahrain and Marko and I (the only formula one fans, out of our group of friends) were especially looking forward to watching the race especially since we were not able to watch the previous two. So we decided to get together on Sunday, and Petra, Paul and Naomi decided to join us. First Petra and I prepared a nice pre-lunch before the match for all of us...a typical Baltic dish called Burek. 12:30pm everyone else came over for lunch and then got ready for the formula one to start at 2:30. The pre-match interview started at 2pm and at 2:30 just as the race was supposed to start...an episode of "The Simpsons" was shown instead!!! We were to find out on the internet that they stopped broadcasting the race on normal t.v. and is only shown now on a paid channel...what a disappointment!
Our television, that usually is packed away in the cupboard, was taken out, and dusted off especially for the formula one race.Good food, good wine and good company!
This past week we have been busy trying new recipes and baking a lot...and to accompany that we found a really good Australian red wine, that has become a favourite amongst all of us...
The really good Australian red wine...obviously recommended by Paul...One of Paul's amazing recipe ideas...mini gourmet pizzas (with tomato, feta, basilica, onion, sun-dried tomato, mushroom and cheese..DELICIOUS!)
