- It's been a while since I've posted on my blog, but I'm glad that I'm here and I actually didn't realize how much I have missed it! Today is a perfect fall day here in Houston, Texas (only 62 F) to start collecting my autumn memories and writing them down here. It's an overcast day, so I have my bla[...]

- November and early December moments are collected in here. Random thoughts and the life that is in this little world of mine...
Staring at the flame of the candle and sort out all the lost thoughts... sink into a comfortable silence and watch how the moonlight is outlining the figures...

- Давно я хотела поделиться с вами этим замечательным рецептом, но как говориться всё руки не доходили. Сегодняшний вечер оказался просто идеальным для его написания. У нас льёт долгожданный дождь, на столе горит маленькая, с ароматом специй свеча, на заднем плане играет еле слышный джаз, а пальцы пос[...]

- Usually before summer ends I try do do all the things I planed to do before August is finished: have summer picnics in the shade of a tree, get some suntan which will last through the long winter, visit farmers' markets and pick your own veggies and fruits, etc. I also try to bake typical summer thi[...]

- I have a small tradition to make a cake for my birthday every year. This year is my third time, and I must say that I truly enjoy it. From the moment of coming up with the idea for the cake, to shopping for ingredients and cake decor, to the final styling and photographing - I love it all! And I mus[...]

- Is it only me or is the time flying so fast these days? I can't believe that half of August is already gone! I still feel like I haven't had enough of ice cream or baked enough fruit pies and tarts this summer. I still have several new summer dresses which haven't had a chance to flutter on the wind[...]

- I remember the time from my childhood when pickling and canning was a part of my family life. Every summer when many fruits and vegetables were in season and much more affordable, my parents were busy canning. I remember standing in a small kitchen and watching my grandma and mom washing, chopping a[...]

- I wanted to make an apple strudel for a long time now. I have wonderful association with this incredible but simple desert. It reminds me of our ski trip to Austria during the winter time. But you don't have to wait for winter to make it! It is a perfect dessert you can make all year around! Usually[...]

- NYC.. I still remember the smell of your air, the colours of your streets, the vibes and passion only you one have. I remember the smell of your bakeries and pastry shops, the morning cups of coffee you were serving to us and those still warm slices of street pizza, which made our hands oily and bel[...]

- I'm a pretty big fan of warm salads. I don't really make them very often in my own kitchen, but if I see a warm salad on the menu at a restaurant, I usually order it. The salad I'm sharing with you today is an old favorite of mine, but I kind of forgot about it and haven't made it in a long time. Th[...]

- Kulich is a classic Easter bread , which is traditionally cooked and eaten at Russian Orthodox Easter when people break their fasting. It's a wonderful Easter tradition and every family bakes this sweet bread and decorates it in many different ways. Living now in U.S., I always remember myself as a [...]

- To the accompaniment of the quiet waltz of tea leaves and the sound of early spring rain, words were swirling in the cycle of flowing conversations and were settling down on the bottom of china cups.
I woke up that warm and cozy Saturday in a slow, romantic kind of mood. Penelope was still sleepi[...]
