As for me certainly not! Welcome to our company.

NatalyS, thanx!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!

Nataly, how was your vacation? I certainly hope you have enjoyed it and returned refreshed and recharged, both physically and mentally.

We're in Moscow now, at my dear sister Olga and her husand Victor's house. It's great staying with them! We've been to the Opra House, listened to Puchini's Bohema. Magnificent! Both the music and the singers. We'are leaving tomorrow morning. Our vocation in Greece was very good too, though I fell ill and had to see a doctor who came to the hotel in no time at all, gave me a lot of medicine and I was like new very soon.

Hope you had a nice time too celebrating Christmas and seeing the New Year in!

Nataly, I am sorry to hear about your sickness but I am glad to hear you have recovered soon. I am also glad you are enjoying your visit in Moscow.

Yes, I did enjoyed the holidays very much so. I was mixing and matching with in and out parties to keep sparks going. Well, it is time to get back to work now and I am ready for that as well. I like everything in moderation. I guess it is working for me perfectly, I do not like extremes.

Neither do I! We've just come back home. My sister phoned me to learn if we are safe and sound after that long way by car. She said that her daughter and my niece Alexandra had enjoyed our New Year party very much though all the guests were not as young as Alexandra's friends. We all enjoyed it. It was a meeting of old student friends and new ones. By the way, I've cooked a lemon honey cake from Aliya's recepies. It was a great success.

I am glad that everyone was happy as well as for a lemon honey tart being a great succes!

As to me, I baked two types of cookies for Christmas. We went out for the New Year so there was no cooking/baking for me. As much as I enjoy cooking but there is limitation for everyting. Especially, when I knew that cooking/baking won't run away from me anywhere as my daughter Diana's birthday is right in the beginning of January. I made some of her favorite dishes and baked "Kievskij tort". She was satisfied.

Hello everyone. It is so nice to join your company, hopefully nobody minds.
I have been following your conversation for a while and finally decided to join.
It seems you don't have a specific topic to discuss, you just talk about everything. Is that right?

Hello! I for one don't think someone does. Welcome

We do from time to time, but in general we speak of everything we care at this very moment: children, books, cooking, etc.... Would you tell about yourself, please?

Well, my name is Elena and I will be 50 this year:

I have two kids and I like cooking. This explains why I am on this site.

Although I look through the recipes frequently, I decided to join only recently.

I will not contribute with the step by step recipes, honestly no time at all. I always wonder where on earth girls find time for house work, cooking for the family and making the pictures of what they cooked. Mostly it is on the top of their daily work. I give them a credit for it!

Talk to you later..

I don't think it matters. You've joined the site, it means that there's something that interests you here. Or you might be looking forward to meeting some people you can make friends with. Do you remember: "Birds of a feather flock together"? Like you I don't enjoy representing step by step recepies. But other girls are good at demonstrating the process, not only the result. they are true masters and I take my hat off to them!

Elena, welcome!

Yes, this is a great site and some girls are simply amazing. I, from the other hand, do not have the opportunity to show step by step recipes as well. I guess it is giving them that satisfaction in life which keeps them going, like hobby. I love cooking as well and gladly share my recipes in simple way if opportunity presents itself.

Nataly, you and I wrote our last messages almost at the same time, not knowing about it.
