iCook

I enjoy cooking, but only if on those special days, when I totally feel I'm up to it. Unfortunately, I have to cook like mostly daily, and that really drives me crazy.
Well, if only it was only about cooking, I think it could be easier. But 'cooking' also includes shopping, and, even more importantly, figuring out what should I cook. Sigh. The latter is the hardest thing. The vast resources on the Internet seemingly could help me out with my occasional drought of ideas, but new recipes are only handy on those iCook days. For the daily cooking it's all about coming up with the recipe from Certified and Approved Real Good/Easy to Make categories.

Lunchtime crosswords

At work we have to share lunchroom with people from another office on the same floor, and this addition provides for a really good time during those lunch breaks. Our own administration is just five persons, so having the possibility to mix with a bigger group is a very welcome thing indeed.
A month or so ago we've developed this new lunch time attraction, which is solving crosswords in newspapers. While solving crossword by yourself is just a challenge for one's knowledge, a collective solving makes the whole thing a laugh out loud hit. Anybody know the right word? No? Then let's just make one up! You'd never believe how bizarre and hilarious it could be, when all the people in the room are making their best to provide the answer or to make one up.
Some made up words should be patented or at least framed and hung on the walls so great they are :D

Third time's a charm

First it was 360, then Multiply. Moving on to this spot, hoping this time the Titanic won't sink ;)
Autumn is already creeping in on us, and it feels as if summer wasn't even here. For the first time I haven't had a real vacation time during the summer - those few days off I had can't hardly count, can they? - so it feels as if this summer was just a long blurry streak of work work work with a brief - too brief! - stops for taking my breath back. Well, at least those few days of summer were great.
Breath in, breath out. So let's just try to tame this third blog. Hopefully for good this time.

Re-post. September, 2011. Kairėnai Botanical Garden or Horses, a Hare, and Color Me Pretty

A joke about going for a horse ridding turned into flesh last weekend. Our choice for a trial ridding fell on Kairėnai botanical garden as it offered both the possibility to take a ridding lesson, and a nice afternoon in a beautiful place with lots of awesome and colorful plants.

Ridding was so much fun, that I'm eagerly waiting for yet another one. Hopefully sometime soon.

My very first time ridding, and many more were to come

Dahlias, dahlias, so many of them

Any one in need of a shopping cart?

Re-post. June, 2011. Two Days In June. Anykščiai-Biržai-Rokiškis

So on 25th June the three of us from the original 'cast of 4 to 5' set off for our Aukštaitija tour. Originally the whole trip was planned for three days, so that there would be some places of interest to visit on each day, but we could still maintain this rather leisurous pace. Huh-uh, due to some force majeur factors we only departed at almost midday on Saturday, but still very determined to make only the very necessary changes to the route.

Re-post. July, 2008. Panemunė

Re-post. Praėjusį šeštadienį išsiruošėm aplankyti Panemunę. Gamta fantastiška, bet kad LT paveldas nėra itin vertinamas ir saugomas taip pat akivaizdu. Deja...
Bet šiaip kelionė labai vykusi ir smagi buvo. Tai ir diena neprailgo
