Te eat, or two beer?
I must tell you guys, I love my Mummy!I am going with Daddy to the wonderful North, Jukkasjarvi, to carve a room in the IceHotel :)
so, Mum organised me a
"See you soon baby, Good-bye FAKI Party"
My Mum is very upset, and worried that I will freeze in that cold weather. She decided to grow my fat, to keep warm my body, so, she cooked all my favourite cookies. Pancakes, and on the left that's a donat but from potato, and it's salty...but I like it with marmalade too...on the right that's a cookie with cherry...I love it all, so forget to become a pretty, thin girl, and enjoy the foood!:P
I will miss my sweet mommy......

Switzerland, 2010 November
We went to Lugano with Daddy and my Godmother.Lugano is not far from Italy. Is a small city 
on a beautiful lake. Romantic place, and again one more romance...I met with a pretty Swiss guy, called Fritz, he invited me for a trip.
I asked daddy to give me some good advice about "man", but he said he has no experience with men.Luckily Godmother was there, and gave me some good suggestions ;)
She gave me a good recipe, so I cooked food by myself...
I became so excited, tried to "push up" myself with some make-up.

Celebrations,Traditions
HUNGARIAN TRADITIONS:
In Hungary there are not only birthdays but also namedays. Unfortunately there is no name like Faklava, so all my life is celebration.
So, 11th of November is the day of Márton.It's a male name. There is a long history of this day, why people must eat goose. All story started in 316-317, looong time before connected with Márton the Saint...but I don't remember all the story...when mom reach this part, I allways fall asleep.
What is important for me, that day of the year everyone should eat goose, to have rich food in the next year.Also, must drink new wine ...but of course I can't, in front of my parents...
This year there was a Festival in Eger, where we went with mom, looking for a Duck in Hungarian language it is KACSA.
We were searching and asked help from many friends on the way.
In the end I became too tired, mom couldn't stop talking luckily, and I love her voice, like a fairy tail :)
When I woke up, the Duck was allready cooked :p

TURKISH TRADITIONS:
NATIONAL BAKLAVA DAY
17th November
A popular sweet pastry found in many cuisines of the Middle East and the Balkans, made of chopped nuts layered with phyllo pastry. With its high sugar and fat content, it is very rich. Sprinkled with chopped walnuts and pistachio nuts and soaked in a solution of sugar or either lemon juice or syrup or honey and spices with rosewater.This dessert is usually served cold.
Fun Facts about Baklava
One of the oldest known recipes for a sort of proto-baklava is found in a Chinese cookbook written in 1330 under the Yuan (Mongol) dynasty under the name güllach (Buell, 1999). "Güllaç" is found in Turkish cuisine. Layers of phyllo dough are put one by one in warmed up milk with sugar. It is served with walnut and fresh pomegranate and generally eaten during Ramadan. A typical baklava, sweetened with syrup.In Turkey, Gaziantep is famous for its baklava and regarded there as its native city, though it only appears to have been introduced to Gaziantep from Damascus in 1871. In 2008, the Turkish patent office registered a geographical indication certificate for Antep Baklava.
Hungary, Eger 2010 October
My mom was reading me the short story of the historical town, Eger...because I couldn't fall asleep, so much excitement!!!
Fairy tail of Eger
The city of Eger, with its one thousand-year history, heroic past, rich monuments, famous wines and thermal baths is one of the most famous towns of Hungary.
Eger is usually considered to be a historic town, yet it is also noted for its splendid Baroque architecture, wine, thermal and medicinal waters and lively student population.
It became an episcopal seat as early as the 1th century, during the reign of St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary. Disaster struck the town many times: it was practically destroyed during the invasion of the Tatars, but its fortress, built in the 13th century, played a major role in defence during the wars of the Turkish era. Captain István Dobó and a handful of his soldiers withstood the attack of the Turkish army 40 times superior in force to his 2000 defenders for 38 days in 1552, and eventually forced the Turks to withdraw.
Eger is dominated by buildings in Baroque style. It became an important cultural and education center in the 18th century. 184 outstanding examples of the architecture of the past few centuries have been preserved in their original forms.
The town and the surrounding region is well-known for its wines. For over 1000 years the population of the region has produced grapes and excellent wines, such as Egri Bikavér (Bull's Blood) and Egri Leányka (Girl of Eger). The oldest wine-cellars are more than 400 years old (Szépasszonyvölgy), but new ones are carved out of the mountain-side to this day.
and also...the most important thing is, THIS IS THE BIRTHTOWN OF MOM!
