Krhki flancati (food)


It is time to chase the winter away. Put your masks on, go from house to house, make a lot of noise, eat pig meat on fat Thursday and so on and on with other traditions which are surely different from country to country or even from region to region. 

One such tradition is to eat donuts. In my family we aren't much stuffing ourselves with them. Instead we really like "krhki flancati". I have really no idea how that would be translated in english so I went with the name we use here for crunchy pastry covered in icing suggar. There is still enough time to make it and it is very simple so join me in making them.

Wonder flower

To be honest I am not much of a good caretaker of my inside flowers, I often forget to water them and once I do I pick dry leaves away and water them well. Then on very good days I also brush their leaves so the dust doesn't bother them and so they get refreshed. At such moments they are my treasures and I really pay attention to them. Still, I mainly love the green touch they give to my room and ease my eyes. So I rarely have flowers that bloom, colorful leaves or pretty green leaves satisfy me. Sadly sometimes, due to me not being always good to them, some also die and I am not very proud of that.

Among many flowers I have in my room this one particularily surprised me. I have her third year now and first year I didn't notice her wonders, but this last year, I did.
