New IKEA magazine was waiting for me in the mailbox yesterday. Lovely, I always like to browse through it. As my German is very bad, I usually only enjoy the photos but this time I read texts as well. I found wonderful words about friends. Friends really are elementary luxury. They give us ideas and share their experience with us. They do reduce stress and give us different view on life. And most of all, they do show us that there is some reason in our creativeness.
I bought my first bag of quinoa more than ten years ago. I like trying new things but obviously I dispair over some of them too quickly. The dish I cooked then was bitter and I threw everything away. It never crossed my mind that other people don't eat bitter quinoa, they just do something very simple before putting grain into the pot - they simply wash it with hot water. Years have passed and I discovered blogland. Which means that by writing my own blog, I was discovered too. Also by
Maja, who told us what to do with this tastefull and in my opinion so funny food. Wash it! Cook it! Eat it! I did all this yesterday, but just in case soaked grain in hot water for a few minutes. A miracle has happened! :) I was awarded with a dish which gives you this funny crackling feeling in your mouth when you eat it.
So, there you have it, all above written about friends is true. I will spend the Valentine's day alone, if I don't count the cats in my garden. Though I will be thinking of you my blog friends, and I am sure that I will not feel alone. Not for one single moment. Enjoy your day, too!

Then we'll be alone but together at the same time ;-).
Jep! :) To bo fino!
Have a wonderful day. I bought a decorated layer cake with flowers on it and three different kinds of sugar cookies at the bakery. I will try and take some pictures. Hope the skies are blue for you and the weather is warming up.
