Вариантик

French Meat with CheeseХочу поделиться вариантом мяса по-французски, который пару лет назад подкинула мне сестра. Может, кому пригодится.

Нарезать картошку соломкой, обжарить до полуготовности (не солить!) = слой первый
Маринованные огурчики тоже соломкой, только, естественно, помельче = слой второй
Марковка по-корейски = слой третий
Ну, а дальше как обычно: отбитое мясо, лук колечками, сыр и майонез. Всё в духовку на 45 минут при 375 F (190 C).

Мне очень понравилось это блюдо с “пастушьим” салатиком (помидоры, огурцы, лук — мелкими кубиками, несолёная брынза — на свекольную тёрку, немного укропа, красного острого перца (специя), соли, растительного масла и лимонного сока).

Warrior and Warlock

Hahz, Undead WarlockIt’s time to confess. I have reactivated WoW again on December 2. That thing just keeps pulling me back in. Alena has reactivated her account as well.

We’ve been doing a lot of heroic instances with friends, something that we haven’t done before and I find those a lot of fun. They present a nice challenge and offer some upgrades in gear, even though very minimal.

I have also brought up The UGH site back up and we’ve got some activity there. We actually have our first Karazhan raid scheduled for tomorrow. I don’t know how it will go, or if everyone will show up, but it looks promising. It’s going to be great to run things again with good in game friends and Eldar.

Another fun thing for me is my warlock that I made, named Hahz. He is level 54 now and the play style is completely different from a tanking warrior. I’m enjoying it a lot. I’m planning to do some PvPing with him and he’s going to be my farming machine.

Flamenco and Wine Event

Tonight Alina and I went to Manhattan to attend an event labeled as “Intro to Flamenco Dancing & Spanish Wine Tasting”. We had a really good time!

The whole thing happened in a little dancing studio on the 11th floor on 1261 Broadway Street. Alina found out about the event through the local wine events subscription and offered me to join her because of my love for flamenco. It was hosted by Cony, Kirk and their friend Magdalena — the flamenco dancer. The atmosphere was really friendly with around 30 people present. There were no chairs, and the studio itself was not big at all. Me and Alina were the first guests, and Alina even helped Cony to open some bottles. Read more…

О Дневниках

Memory BoxКогда мне было лет 10-12, моя старшая сестра Людмила завела себе дневник. Как сейчас помню толстую тёмно-синюю тетрадь в клеточку, в которую она своим красивым (вот везёт же некоторым) почерком записывала разные мысли. Каюсь, как-то тайком я его полистала (еще тогда я очень любила знать всё, что мне знать и не нужно). Её дневник вкупе с модой на личные дневники, охватившей девчонок нашего класса, вдохновили меня на заведение своего собственного дневника в уже далёком 1993 году (за точность года не ручаюсь, мог быть и 1992).

Почему-то помню, что в одной из первых записей я подробно рассказывала о том, как мы с Кузей звонили некоторым мальчишкам из параллельного класса (мы и мальчики учились отдельно) и анонимно с ними беседовали. Как это было для нас волнующе! Еще помню, мне очень нравилось стихотворение Н. Заболоцкого “Некрасивая девчонка” — его я старательно переписала в дневник и любила декламировать. Read more…

About Some Foreign Movies

NetflixWithing the last few days I watched 5 foreign movies through Netflix instant watching feature. All of them were filmed by different directors, performed on different languages, and left different impressions.

1. C.R.A.Z.Y. — a truly touching movie from Quebec province of Canada. It is one of the best dramas that I’ve watched recently. It tells a story of a boy, who had a hard time excepting himself the way he was, and of his family. I would definitely recommend this movie!

2. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress — this Chinese movie tells a story of two young men who in 1971 were sent to a small mountain village for re-education. I enjoyed watching this movie too. First of all, it was really weird to see a world where foreign books were illegal. Second, it was also strange to see how different was the life of the villagers of that small place — as if they lived in a different century.

3. A Peck on the Cheek — a Sri Lankan movie about a little girl named Amudha, who as an infant was abandoned by her Tamil mother and adopted by Indian parents. Read more…
