English speaking room

Hello, girls! Haven't been here for ages You see looking through English magazines I came across a lovely story by Michele Roberts. The introduction attracted me. Now you'll understand why.

"I used to read a cookery book at night, after my husband had fallen asleep, savouring its poetry, its precise vocabulary. Recipes were indeed like poems, compact, with carefully chosen words..."

Great! To feel poetry in a cookery book! I have never thought why I like reading the books, but they really attract me, the language first of all.

every time i am looking for some new recipe my stomach starts rumbling and mumbling make me feel hungry ))))))) I do not think its a good idea to read recipe books at night

Can I correspond with anybody here? I want practise my little English sometimes.

Do you think it can be dangerous for those who care for them not being stout? Like me...... I have some very nice cookery books both in English and in Russian. Each time I skim them I feel as hungry as a hunter that's why never read any recipe untill I have eaten something. Осень7
Why not! Welcome. Wouldn't you mind telling some words about you and your interests to begin with?

Thats a good idea , the only problem is when You done with cooking how can You make yourself to put something in your mouth because before that You stuffed yourself
I don't know about You but I am always having that fight

I meant I read cookery books after I have eaten something otherwise I can't help eating up something tasty but not good for my waist.

Well looking on Your pic I can say You are out of threat putting some extra pounds round Your waist

Thanks a lot! But prevention is better than cure. Don't you agree?

eat balanced and healthy and You'll be fine

Rght you are! Sorry to say cookery books can't be considered reliable sources of information about healthy eating.

You made all my argument breakable

I recently finished another Danielle Steel's book, with a little smile on my face remembering that it was you who recommended her to me

I am now planning 1st birthday party for my baby girl=soon to be a toddler girl
I can't believ how time flies by
First time I started to come here I was pregnant
And now look planning the birthday party
I have of course taken lots of pictures as we spent most of the time outside along the Thames and in the nice parks
So when I have more time I will get back here to share some positive energy of beaty of nature in here

Where are the other members that used to come here a lot?
I see that there are some newbies too, I don't want to be rude, welcome to newbies

Anyways I better go now and catch you ladies some time soon

Nice to see you, darling. I've just come back home from the Urals where I managed to do a lot of things, and the most important one is a great event - my daughter gave birth to a girl. They named her Olga after my daughter. So I'm happy to have three OLgas: my sister, my daughter and my granddaughter! All of them are great and I love them very much.
My congratulations on your baby's first birthday. And best wishes too.
Which book by D. Steel have you read? My last one was Toxic Bachelors. It's one of those that make us think what's good and what's evil as far as the author presents life stories of different people who managed to stay good-natured in challenging circumstances. It might be different, but this is the way I got it.
Now I'm reading New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Not because I'm mad about the Vampire Saga (I've read the whole in Russian by the way).Just to compare the authentic one and the translation. You are sure to have read all those critical remarks concerning the translation. I wonder if the critics have read doth variants. By the way the translation is not as bad as they say though there are some pieces of carelessness.
Then it'll be Morning, Moon & Night by Sidney Sheldon. I bought it in Yekaterinburg.
