The Artist

  I du not use to drink beverage but today i have this inspiration looking in a store  on the wine racks . I take a bottle of wine “ Sauvignon blank” and a few fresh  plums , a gingerroot , fresh mint  , orange marmalade ( what I made ) and I mixed all . I crushed in mixer a few plums  and i added  pomegranate blueberry juice . The drink is refreshing and the test of all the ingredients gives a new twist  to the wine .

Gingerroot and plums .

Fresh mint .

  After more then two weeks , today I was again with my girls . Maria and Rory are in vacation and just came from California . Emma is a big girl so sweet and so darling . She surprise me what big and strong little girl she became in this time .

Isn’t she a real doll ? She looks to me and melt my hart .

I love you Emma so much !!!!!!!!! Thanks God for the precious moments with my girls .

I park my car very close to this beautiful bushes and I can not believe the perfect harmony  of the colors !

This dumplings remained me the childhood , made from cottage cheese and cream of wheat and eggs . Coated with bread crumbs fried in butter and sprinkled with sugar . It is a lovely dessert .

Served with generous amount of sour cream .

I like the color , texture and creaminess of this soup .

Today I did this soup in the same time with the bulgur salad .

Excellent soup !!!!! 

The bulgur stay in water two hours and after two hours looks like this .  Is ready to be use .

I use the bulgur wheat what is absolutely delicious , nutritious , and easy to prepare . Made from the finest quality whole grain red wheat that has been parboiled , dried , and ground , it cooks quickly and may be used in a wide variety of dishes .It is excellent in pilafs, soups, baked goods ,stuffing or casseroles . Bulgur is low in fat and has a milled , nutty flavor . It is also a great source of dietary  fiber and protein.

Lettuce

  Parsley and mint raffle chopped ,

Tomatoes , reddish , grin pepper ,

  Cucumber and green onion,

Juice from lemon ,

Olive oil with cumin and lemon juice .

Mixed all the ingredients and make the salad .

It is a good salad . 

I use the bulgur with oat meal for hot cereal .

Even the name of this salad sound French , this meal head on the base a German salad . The French do same very close, but different sauce .  They use just vegetables and the name for this salad is “ Macedonia ‘”, The German do the composition with boiled meat and vegetables  adding marinated veggies and beets and a pink sauce , they call ” Burliness salad   “   and another salad called “A la Russe”

Then the Beuf or Boeuf Salad on the end is a  Romanian version , with a stranger name . Anyway , this salad is present on the table in Romania for all the holydays of the entire year .

Ingredients what I use in this delicious salad .

I did this salad for a Baby Shower what will be celebrate today to my work . A young couple who expected a baby girl in August  will have today Baby Shower . I have from them presents , a lot of Emma’s clothes . She is growing every day  , and another baby girl will be happy to have this beautiful clothes of Emma . Thanks Emma to be so generous and to make happy another baby girl . I love you .
