Dear Splattie,
It is very nice to meet you too.
I am glad you like my cat. Not to ramble to much about him, but he is very different: he is potty trained, meaning he does use a toilet and he is trained to walk on a leash,which he enjoys doing on a daily basis. My husband takes him out for a walk around the neighborhood every evening. Everybody around thinks it is pretty funny.
Nataly, I am so glad you like my cat too. Hopefully, after this little story you will have a newly found respect for these wonderful creatures.
I wanted to let you know, that just as I have planned, my weekend has been very nice, quiet and peaceful. We had a nice dinner and watched a movie last night; slept in today; just got back from the gym, soaked in a pool for a while and now we are making plans for dinner. I could not ask for more. Life is simply wonderful.
I hope you all are doing great as well. Take care.
Julia.

Юля,

Thank you! Everyone say that so I am already used to it by now. It's runs in our family. I remember when people would say the same thing about my mom and us, her children growing up. It is my turn now!

Splattie,

Nice to meet you as well!

What is cooking?

Here we are... . Quiet again... .

We had a wonderful weekend, too. We went to see new movies : "Angels and Demons" and "Startrek". The first one was my choice, the second one - my husband (as you can guess ). Too bad that I already read Angels and Demons, so it was no surprise for me any more. However, the movie was not bad at all. And Startreck was real action movie the one that keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Julie,

Your story about cat walking is so funny. I remember we had the cat whom we used to take for a walk as well.

Hello, have you got my new picture?

Hello, dear ladies! I am finally able to visit you here, if only for a little while. I apologize for not having read the last 7 or so pages since I was last here, but I just wanted to inquire as to everyone's health and happiness. Ayisha, especially - how are you doing? How is your pregnancy progressing? I trust you are glowing and are the most beautiful expectant mother.

NatalyS and Splattie - how are you ladies doing? Anything new and exciting in your lives or in your culinary endeavours?

Oh, and before I forget - WELCOME to all the newbies!

NatalyS and Splattie - how are you ladies doing? Anything

Thank you! I'm all right just enjoying the summer that has come at last and dreaming of our new trip to Greece, Korfu this time and trying not to eat anything that can spoil my figure!

Hi ladies,

I am from the other hand, went a little overboard with all these deliciousness. Well, I just have to calm down and take it easy but I am glad I am not obsessed over it. I know myself very well for that. I know I will return to my common sense after a while and I think I have reached that point already. Just got a little excited, that is all.

I wish you all well and have a wonderful weekend,
Esmira.

We've just come back from a cafe we dropped in to drink a cup of tea (me) and a mug of beer (my husband). I had a piece of apple pie with ice cream and some pizza instead. Very tasty by the way! I don't often take it in cafes but this time it was difficult to reisist temptation and I gave in

Good girl! It is OK to indulge yourself once in a while so do not feel guilty.

Sure! This is what I thought of eating that tasty pizza and a very delicioius pie From time to time we trat ourselves to something cooked not by me but by someone else. Doctors say that its good for our immune system

Hi, girls! How are you doing?
May be somebody knows special recipes of pizza?

...

Катюша, I wish I could help but I am not really pizza person. I saw, however, plenty of recipes here. You can search by word "pizza" and see for yourself. You always can improvise and add your own toppings to make it your signature pizza, depending what you like, as long as the dough itself is good. I am thinking to create my own pizza one day but have to be in the mood for it.

Nataly, how about people who eat out all the time, like most of us Americans, myself and small amount of people exluded? Their immune system must be very good by eating all those unknown food! You know, it has reminded me one of the recent true stories. The girl who is friend of my daughters friend ordered a burger without the onion due to her allergy. When waiter came with the food it turned out that the onion was included so she asked him to replace the burger as she simply could not eat it, so waiter did. Couple of days passed and she noticed that her throat was swollen so she goes to see a doctor. After some tests took place the doctor asked her about her sexual life. She replied that she is not seing anybody at the moment. So doctor told her that she has syphilis in her throat. Luckily, she has some of the leftovers in her fridge so she brought it in and after examining it, they found out that it has semens of three men contaminated with the syphilis. Invastigating further, they found out that those three nasty men were among cooks that horrible day. Well, I hope they will bе punished the way they deserved. Very-very sad.

Girls, where are you? I hope I did not scare all of you with my story! It is a true story, honest!

It's really horrible! What can I say? Things happen to those who got used to eating out. Does it mean that each time we eat at a cafe or restaurant we should ask for the personnel certificate to make sure that we aren't exposed to the danger presented above?

I just wish they would not hire losers like that. We all know that they do not pay them much so they are obviously angry at people, plus if people start complain about something they doing all these nastiness including spitting in the food and all other disgusting things. Pretending that it is not happening will not help but nothing we can really do about it, unfortunately.

Esmira " they found out that it has semens of three men contaminated with the syphilis. Invastigating further, they found out that those three nasty men were among cooks that horrible day."

I was shocked by that story - what these men did is really disgusting. The customers had to sue the restaurant for this.
However, it is not scary me away from the going out. Actually, we had a nice burger at the nice place with lake view the very next day after I had read your story. But most of the time I stay out of fast food restaurant anyway.

I guess my point - bad things may happen in any place it should not stop us from having fun.
