My breakfast nowadays is this tasty yoghurt-jam-nut mixture. Organic yoghurt, organic jam and nut compote. The nut compote contains of walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios. It´s flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, chilli, sugar and rhum. Don´t worry, I´ve boiled away all the alcohol in the rhum to prevent having a shot first thing in the morning...
Chocolate. What would life be without chocolate? Pretty boring IMO. The chocolates above are filled with prunes soaked in madeira. They are heavenly. Candy treats for grown ups!
Mustard. I love mustard. Especially on eggs...thanks Tommy for the tip. Yet I have to try it on cheese though. I´ve heard Dutch cheese would be best for that...The white jar contains mustard with tarragon. It´s made out of Colman´s Double Superfine Mustard Powder. It´s so strong your brains almost blows out of your head. I think I have to tone it down a little bit by adding cream and oil to it before I serve it to guests. Wouldn´t want them to go home brainless...
The mustard in the glass jar is made of mustard seed. It has no special added flavor to it yet. And it´s kind of bitter. Maybe I´ll add some brandy and honey to it next week.
All recipes are from the book "The scent of cinnamon and fir tree". And I posted all my christmas cards today so I´m good for a little while.
The Handy Maid wishes all of her readers nice and peaceful holidays. Hopefully next year will be as lovely as this past year has been!

It´s December 1st and I found a book in my library I totally forgot I own. The days to come I will reveal some of the things from the book (without infringing the copyright of course). I´ll try out recipes and christmas decorations etc. The book is named "The scent of cinnamon and fir tree", in finnish ("Kanelin ja kuusen tuoksua"), and to be quite frank, I don´t know what the proper english name for it is, I just translated it straight from it´s finnish name.
Pikisaaressa on tänään joulumyyjäiset. Oppilaat myyvät ensimmäistä kertaa omia tuotteitaan. Tervetuloa tekemään jouluostoksia!!! Minäkin olen paikalla...
Okay, I know Halloween´s over throughout almost every part of this planet but, we in Finland celebrate it the upcoming weekend. I found a comic I was not familiar with. Crabby Road. It´s hilarious...some of the texts in the pics are really naughty but most of them only witty. Suits me like a glove!
Doing hush-hush things....mostly for christmas
Missing my everyday biking route to school... I´m doing my second practice period travelling by bus. Looking out the bus window is not exactly the same...can´t smell the forest nor hear the birds chirp
This picture has nothing to do with the forest or my biking route. It´s a project made in school : "A contrast based on printed text". I chose an outtake from John Miltons Paradise Lost...perhaps I´ll show you more another day...maybe...
