Easter is coming!
Mar. 18th, 2026 08:10 pmSo Mum had today an appointment with the hairdresser who's kind enough to make house visits and pretty her up in our kitchen. She looks twenty years younger now and is ready to celebrate. :)
As for myself, I made some long overdue phone calls - to the insurance lady, to the financial advisor guy and to my neighbour, the IT guy. Hopefully there will be some serious computer update, soon. I'd prefer to keep my Windows 7, but there are websites that don't accept it anymore, so needs must. Gah, I hate getting used to new things!
I also started another three mini teddy bears - one for Elise's other grandson and two more as preparation for the Christmas fair. Those two will get little Santa hats and knitted scarves. Four-stitch-wide scarves of 20 cm length are about my limit where knitting is concerned, but at least I can do those.
We were still eating Evie's goulash soup; for the third time, and Mum is determined to eat the rest tomorrow. This is the kind of dish that gets better with each new heating up. I'm actually acquiring a taste for it... once a year. I'll need several weeks of very light food to recover from this masterpiece of traditional Hungarian cuisine. *g*
Tomorrow there will be baking again. I'm giving the alfajores cookies a try, and since they only require egg yolks, I'll make Amaretti biscuits from the egg whites. Those are completely flourless, so Evie will be able to eat them. Bad enough that she developed a gluten intolerance in recent years, she ought to have some yummy things for Easter, too.
