I would like to share with you the short video I have discovered today, funded by the Seagate Creative Fund in 2008. The video was made with 4500+ still photographs and shot with Canon EOS 30D camera.

“A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn. However, a chance encounter with a guy changes her plans and the night lights of the capital turn into the background to a tender love story. An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise.”

Happy Monday to all of you!

Meet my new friends: Cleanance K Oil-Control Lotion and Cleanance Anti-Shine Purifying Lotion.

My skin isn’t perfect, it is sensitive with acne problems. I really hope that this Avene line will help to reduce my skin imperfections. I will keep you updated if it works.

Cleanance K Oil-Control Lotion is a nighttime treatment that helps to eliminate clogged pores, blackheads, blemishes to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion.

Cleanance Anti-Shine Purifying Lotion is a astringent toner that purifies skin and tightens pores without stinging or irritating sensation. Mattifying powders help to absorb excess sebum and leave skin shine-free.

So, yesterday I wanted to surprise Maciej and this is a result – the very first muffins in my life.

These light and nutritious muffins include banana for added fibre, and make a tasty tea-time treat. I like them with some jam.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup plain wholemeal flour

1/2 cup plain white flour

2 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1 tsp mixed spice *

1/4 cup soft light brown sugar

1/4 cup polyunsaturated margarine (I have added butter instead)

1 egg, beaten

2/3 cup semi-skimmed milk

grated rind of 1 orange (I have added grated rind of 1 lemon instead)

1 ripe banana

1/4 cup porridge oats (You can add some more if you want)

1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (I haven’t add any)

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Line a muffin tin with paper cake cases. Stir together both flours, the baking powder, salt and mixed spice into bowl, then tip the bran remaining in the sieve into the bowl. Stir in the sugar.

2. Melt the margarine (or butter) and pour it into a mixing bowl. Cool slightly, then beat in the egg, milk and grated orange rind (or lemon rind).

3. Gently fold in the dry ingredients. Mash the banana with a fork, then stir it gently into the mixture, being careful not to overmix.

4. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases. Combine the oats and hazelnuts and sprinkle a little of the mixture over each muffin.

5. Bake for 20 minutes until the muffins are well risen and golden, and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and serve warm or cold.

(The recipe comes from a book – Fat-free. Guilt-free food that is full of flavour cooking by Anne Sheasby)

* 1 tbsp cinnamon, ground + 1 tsp coriander, ground + 1 tsp nutmeg, ground + 1/2 tsp ginger, ground + 1/4 tsp allspice, ground + 1/4 tsp cloves, ground

- mushrooms

- white bulgarian cheese

- edam cheese

- lukanka (bulgarian salami)

- tomatoes

- frizzle ham

Combine eggs, water,splash of milk, salt, chili and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Beat with a fork until combined but not too frothy.

Place a  filling on one half of the omelet.

Fold over and let it cook for an extra 2-4 minutes. Slide onto a plate.

Enjoy!!
