Was very nice weekend...:
Friday-Saturday at the best friend’s lovely home...dinner, fireplace, wine,hot wine, knitting...girl-talk...two boys...the younger one is almost two which means terrible two...
He is very cute... Curly light brown hair, a very happy face and he is outgoing...His down fall (w/out injuries) frequency is very high: three per 2 hours.- My Hot Wine recipe:
1 bottle of a medium quality red wine
2-3 Cinnamon sticks ( if you have only the powdered one, then you should filter it later on) 2-3 cloves
2-3 table spoon of sugar
Orange / Lemon peel
Very small pieces of apple / pear (like mini-dices as we say in Turkish)
You boil everything in a saucepan... serve in anything glass... 
From Finland Christmas glögg
1 Bottle red wine * 2-3 tablespoons Madeira (optional) * 1/2 cup raw sugar, or to taste1/3 cup raisins * 1-2 sticks cinnamon * 5-6 whole cloves peelings of I orange * 1/4 cup blanched, slivered almonds * 1/4 cup vodka to spike it up (optional) ( in another recipe it was brandy-Ç)
In a large kettle, combine all the ingredients except the vodka. Heat slowly, until the drink is steaming hot. Stir every now and then, and taste with a spoon whenever you feel like it. Do not let the drink get even close to boiling. Just keep it warm. Before serving, add vodka if you wish. Servings: 1 to 6
- I continued to knit my scarf, even started a beret...It has almost every tone of blue from white-blue to turquoise...
- Sunday started with a breakfast in a friend’s house... Again a lot of girl-talk, in this case i must say women-talk... We bought a very elegant vase from Paşabahçe... The wrapping was almost more elegant than the inside... Lily paper and a fabric- flower, Lavender...Beautiful....
- Sunday evening continued BBQ in the apartment (building)’s garden with the neighbours..Again meat “sucuk” with hot wine... Then tea&talk in one of the neighbour’s house...They have a son, two years boy = terrible two: In a second,, he scratched my face!
