there are more shootings on the street

It's too sad! I just can't imagin how it can be possible! To shoot a child! How cruel! How can that bastard live with it? Weapon (оружие???) is leagal in America, maybe that is the problem? Olga, have you got a gun? or maybe you know how people are examined before getting it? To aviod such terrible things! I mean some phsykological tests. Or they are just formal?

Thanks a lot! We thought of the same things. I mean your Waterland For me this picture is associated with "Through the Looking Glass" though I failed to find a synonim to express the same idea but with the word water.

Marina, no better say: "My mouth is watering looking at this cake".

I actually skipped cracking my oven up this weekend! I am strong!

Marinochra - weapons in America - it is a huge discussion. I don't know exactly how people are examined before getting them. However, I know that every legal gun on the a police record and people have to keep their guns well protected. So, it is a real doubt in my mind that somebody who has a legal weapon ever kills anybody. Usually, they keep a gun for a false feeling of safety. The homeowners have a right to shoot anybody transpassing their property. (specially in Texas ) but this mostly a paper right, I did not hear that somebody used it in reality.

Thanks a lot!
Internet is a great thing! I still don't have enough time to find my old English dictionary. My baby takes almost all my time. And only when he sleeps I have a chance to chat here, look through the new recipies or go to the kitchen to cook something new & tasty. Today it has been raining for the whole day and he slept much. So I managed to cook several dishes... There are so many interesting ideas and wonderfull recipies here! I never know which one to choose...but I'm always pleased with results!

Marina, yes, this site is simply wornderful and I love it so much! On top of all this deliciousness, I also have my own ideas so I never have problem like: "What to cook?"

I have decided to join the town pool and enjoy it very much

Esmira, could you please give me some information about town pool you attending?? I wasn't lucky to find any of them in my town, the nearest one is in NYC. It's not so far from me, but I would like to find some "within walking distance"


P.S. Girls, I'm still struggling with my English , so it's more than welcome to correct my mistakes, thanks in advance

Maria,
My town is far away from Jersey City. My pool is located in New Milford, NJ so I do not think you can walk there but you are more than welcome to attend if you will choose to drive. In order to join you do not have to live in New Milford but you do need to become a member. It is probably too late to join this year as they will be closed in a month but choice is yours.

Esmira

I was thinking that by any chance you live in Jersey City (it's also 15 minutes by path from my city to NYC).
I took a look on a google map, it takes half of an hour by a car to get to your town. But I still don't have local license, so I think I'll try pool in NYC
Anyway, thank you for information
By the way, how is weather in your town?? We were poured by rain all the previous week. Only Saturday was fine and sunny and we finally spent all day out in Central Park. It's too humid for me , only my curls benefit from this

Maria, you are more than welcome!

The same here, I enjoyed my swimming session on Saturday and relaxed after under the tree reading a book. On days like Sunday, I take advatage of it and do my inside chores so I am done with everything I intended to do over the weekend. Yeah, it is raining a lot lately but I am sure God knows what he is doing. My hair is straight so no benefits from the rain other than doing my chores. Oh, yeah, free car wash as well!

Hello, dear ladies

Did anybody see TV Show "In treatment"? I have almost finished watching "Friends" and was lucky to find new one. It's not as funny as "Friends", but I like it.
I was told that "Seinfeld" TV Show is also very funny, does anybody know anything about this one?

Hi Maria,

Sorry, I do not really watch TV that much so I did not hear about the show "in treatment". I heard of "Seinfeld" from the other hand but not following it so I am not good help when it comes to shows. It is funny, but I would say, I do not have time for the TV (lucky me!). Sometimes, when I do have time and I am in the mood I would watch "Golden Girls", "Everybody loves Raymond" or "Two and a half men", that is about it. If I am lucky, I would find some good movie among the garbage they introducing us to but I rather read, then watch the TV.

Hello ladies,

Wow much has been going on in here I am glad that you are keeping this lovely place busy. And welcome to newbies.

NatalyS, I love your pictures. I love the way you take them, they are really artistic. And your grand daughter is such an adorable kid.



Esmira, my friend lives in NJ and keeps calling me. I hope once we are 5 months old, we will be making loads of trips And you mentioned Brooklyn. It reminds me a funny story of my visit to NYC.



Being in New York, of course I couldn't resist the temptation to visit the "Soviet Union". That's what my friends told me a lot. As it really looks like you are back to 80s in there So I was walking late from the tube station towards an uzbek restaurant. And there is a huge Ferrari full of armenian guys (can't miss the accent) started to follow me. Of course with typical: "Devushka sadites' podvezem". I was laughing. As I was in US and these guys were talking in Russian to me. I kept walking to catch up with my friends. As I was left behind busy taking pics. It started to annoy me, so I went:"I am sorry I don't speak Russian!" The guy replied:"How do you know I was speaking Russian if you don't speak the language?". This made me burst into laughter
I still laugh remembering back that moment.



Momentik, so you are now in US. I bet you are not as bored as you were




Keeping on a positive note.
There was a AQIQA for our daughter. It's like cristening of Muslims, we do it when the baby is 40 days old. And this coincided with my husband's 30th birthday. So I made 1 cake for celebrating 2 occasions The result is a little confusing. But having a baby at another hand, I am glad to manage 1 cake at a time.

Here it is.





Another cake I made for husband's work. Of course I could do it only at night in between night feeds. Looks like the sleeplessness is causing some funny results. Try to guess why

My husband told me that people didn't even notice it. As they are not used to see these kind of cakes except weddings. They were too busy to savor it :p

Well this will be a good fun to think of at every milestone age. And I hope this brought a little smile on your faces as well

Ayisha, lol...you really brought smile to my face! The story is definetely funny but in reality you could easily guess the language sometimes without understanding it.

As to your cakes, both are lovely and of course you mispelled the word "Birthday" but it is not big deal. You are amazing! Well, I myself kept busy while having small children. I do not think I would handle it now as well as I did back then. So glad I am done with it and actually can sleep at night!

Hey there!
Girls, i have a quick question. Sorry if i posted it in the wrong section, but it's my first time asking Eng question here.

Anyways... Can you tell what's the difference between Meringue Powder and Cream of Tartar?

I know that Meringue Powder is "закрепитель"
But i have no clue how Cream of Tartar is in Russian.

Thank you

Good luck

Lerik, both are the same. I guess the first one is good for meringue and the other one for general use but I am sure the meaning is the same.
