how to survive November

Today, once again the day is five minutes shorter. Tomorrow – it’s December! I survived, thanks for the company! Only 21 days of growing darkness then slowly we are going towards the light.

I was wondering what to post as my last photo and pastry came to mind. The cannoli shells are perfectly tender and flaky, like a flake away in your mouth kind of texture.

The ricotta cannoli filling is rich and deliciously sweetened, and those little flecks of almonds swirled throughout just amp up that already immensely satisfying flavor.

Today, once again the day is five minutes shorter. Snow has covered the ground and it looks very pretty outside. One more day of November to endure, it has gone past quicker and easier than I imagined it would be, that is great.

Today, once again the day is five minutes shorter. It is snowing and it’s cold. Nothing new on that front, winter is really on its way. I try to ignore the darkness by watching way too much television. The warm fire glow from the fireplace warms our house and creates a a cosy atmosphere, that is one thing I enjoy.

Ravioli and shrimp, what a tasty lunch. Need say no more 🙂

You Might Feel More Energized. Have an egg a day

They come in a small and affordable package, eggs pack an impressive nutritional punch. The yolk is a source of important nutrients like vitamin B12, vitamin D and choline, which are all important for helping our bodies process food into energy we can use. And energy we need during these dark months.

And they are a great topic for minimalist photography

Today the sunrise was at 8:39 and sunset 15:38. Snow is in the forecast today, it is colder due to the wind factors it feels like -7C /20F so a bit nippy. Can you guess… its a gray day again.

This morning like all mornings I wake up to the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen. Not in the sense of to realize the truth about one’s situation : to become aware of what is really happening.

Well, I am aware what’s happening I am waking up for a new gray day. Most of my mornings for breakfast I enjoy a mug of coffee and some bread with it . It hadn’t even crossed my mind to take photo of bread, but I got inspired by Janet’s loaf of bread and thought I’ll take a photo of my breakfast bread today. And I did this time it was Cashew – Cranberry Ciabatta -tasty bread with cranberries and whole cashew nuts. No wine for me in the morning so my photos are more mundane

Cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and berries make a heavenly combination. The rich and creamy texture of the cheesecake complements the smooth and velvety texture of the chocolate mousse. The burst of sweetness from the berries adds a refreshing and tangy element to the dessert. It’s a treat that is sure to impress your taste buds and satisfy your cravings.

Today the sunrise was at 8:20 and sunset 15:55. Typical November day.

I went to get my influence shot. Hopefully this will prevent me from getting it and if I do it will be milder. I timed it perfectly I was there one minute before my time and it took about two minutes and I was out. Then I had to it 15 minutes in the waiting room in case of side effects. Luckily I met a friend there 🙂 by chance and we had a nice chat.

I don’t know about you, but I am a big fan of spices and onions and garlic. If possible I use them in all the foods I cook. Plus I think they are a great topic for photography.

Today the sunrise was at 8:09 and sunset 16:04. Rainy snotty day. A man of peace is is set to rest.

The state funeral of President Martti Ahtisaari, who died on OCTOBER 16, will be held today, Friday, November 10, in Helsinki. More than 800 guests have been invited to the state funeral.

The late president Martti Ahtisaari was especially known as a peace builder. Ahtisaari, which helped on no less than three continents, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008.

The theme of peace can be seen in his perhaps most famous quote: Peace is a matter of will, Ahtisaari said in his Nobel speech in Oslo. The speech will go down in history anyway. Ahtisaari firmly believed that if people work together, solutions can be found.

In 1989–1990, Martti Ahtisaari helped Namibia become independent. In 2005, Ahtisaari led the peace negotiations in Indonesia that led to the autonomy of Aceh. Ahtisaari played a significant role in the resolution of the Kosovo conflict in 1999 and in 2005–2007. In 2008, Ahtisaari was involved in promoting the stability of Iraq. He also looked for solutions to conflicts in Northern Ireland, Central Asia and the Horn of Africa.

This morning, I gave instructions as my husband trimmed our oak tree in our backyard – we have to keep it under control or it will shade too much of the space. Now it gives in the summer time us enough shade to cool down on a warm day.

Yesterday we did shopping – for a vacuum cleaner – or a hoover as some would say. Our old one was taken by our son when he moved out. Not something that we had planned, but there it went and found a new home. It is a good thing he wants to keep his home clean. We found one 🙂

Well as I am now on a search for food photos, this is the only reason :-), we went have some Nepalese food. I had Chicken Shiraz and Naan bread. It was tasty and filling and the shiraz wine went well with it.
