Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... and so on.

I'm waiting for a beautiful fairy tale with lovely fairies, powerfull and kind magicians. I long for unimaginable events and granting all my wishes and dreams.

The beautiful Christmas Tree, presents, delisious cheers, festive mood and the best friend side by side. Everything is practicable! It's time to prepare for Party!

This post will be about menu, about Christmas Food and Christmas Recieps!

Food.

In the end of the year everybody is tired because of the lack of the sun, the endless winter, intensive work and so on. Do you want to cook a lot? Do you want to clean your flat before and after the guests come? Are you able to do it? As for me it's impossible - I just don't have any extra power! So I choose the easy way. I'll cook easy, quik and tasty courses.

1. Greek salad. Take celery cabbage and tear it with your hands. Then take 3 cucumbers, 3 tomatoes, 2 paprikas, soft cheese (tofu or feta) and cut them into big bricks. Then take some black olives and seasoning. Season the salad with olive oil. Serve with onion rings. Bon appetit!

2. Olivie Salad. Take 2 potatoes, 2 carrots, 3 eggs and boil them. Then take some biled meat or boiled sausage, pickled cucumbers and conserve green peas. Cut everything into little bricks, mix and season with mayonnaise.

3. Caesar Salad. You'll need celery cabbage, pigeon-chest, hard cheese and crouton. Tear the cabbage (look #1). Cut the chicken into small bricks and fry it with salt and pepper. Put it on the cabbage, grate the cheese and add some crouton. Don't mix! Serve with mayonnaise.

Don't forget fruit!

And just buy something you like best of all, give a treat to yourself!

Health... Take care!

I like drive and fun and active life. But sometimes something is wrong and everything becomes colourless, dismal... What is wrong? My health. These damned flu and cold make me lifeless; they are an obstacle in the way of joy and happiness... I try! I fight it! Somebody told me the recipe of "healthy cocktail" - it helps! Here it is: 1 glass of hot milk+1 spoon of honey+ 1 spoon of brandy+ baking soda(a little bit). Mix and drink! Then go to bed! The another recipe is more harsh: vodka(100 ml)+red hot chilli pepper+honey. Drink with garlic and jump into the warm bed under the thick blanket.
Usually when I have to stay at home because my illness I'm really dying - it's boring, killing, depressive and so on. But what can I do when I'm bedridden? Low spirits don't let me enjoy every moment........ This virus keeps off friends and relatives......... But I'm FUN LIME!!! I don't give up! I rule my life! When I'm ill I can watch films, read books, cook something delicious, surf the internet, write articles, play chess, call up everybody I know and play a trick on them "Ha-ha-ha! It's Bush! American president! Open the door - I'm over there:)" May be Bush is not so popular.... So usually I pretend to be Paris Hilton or Naomi Campbell;)

Why LIME?

I've got a lot of questions like this:

"Why lime? What a strange obsession with limes..."

Why did I choose lime? There were two reasons to choose it. The first one: I just like tequila with lime:) The second reason: I feel something allied about this fruit. There is some similarity between us - we are energetic, vigorous, forceful, juicy, lively, interesting, mischievous, dexterous and swift. Both of us are universal and multi-purpose.

Here is some information about lime (Wiki forever))))

Lime is a term referring to a number of different fruits (generally citruses), both species and hybrids, which are typically round, green to yellow in color, 3-6 cm in diameter, generally containing sour pulp, and frequently associated with the lemon. Limes are often used to accent the flavors of foods and beverages.

Limes in drinks

Lime fruit, and particularly their juice, are used in beverages, such as limeade (akin to lemonade). Alcoholic beverages prepared with limes include cocktails such as gin and tonic, margarita, mojito, Caipirinha and Cuba libre, as well as many drinks that may be garnished with a thin slice of the fruit or corkscrew strip of the peel (twist). One customary consumption of tequila is in shots accompanied by lime wedges and salt. Beer is often served with limes in Mexico[citation needed], as well as some other countries. Lime juice is also used in commercial soft drinks.

Limes in cooking
In cooking, lime is valued both for the acidity of its juice and the floral aroma of its zest. It is used in Key lime pie, a traditional Florida dessert, and is a very common ingredient in authentic Mexican and Southwestern American dishes. It is also used for its pickling properties in ceviche. Additionally, the leaves of the Kaffir lime are used in southeast Asian cuisine. The use of dried limes as a flavoring is typical of Persian cuisine.

Other uses
In order to prevent scurvy during the 19th century, British sailors were issued a daily allowance of citrus such as lime (presumably Citrus aurantifolia), which led in time to the nickname "limey" for all Britons. It was later discovered that this beneficial effect derived from the quantities of Vitamin C the fruit contains.
Lime extracts and essential oils are frequently used in perfumes, cleaning products, and aromatherapy.
