"Baked" Ziti

Tried "Baked" Ziti from here.


Turned out great! It's usually difficult to find a dish that all family members would like. Ziti is deffenetly it!

Charity socks.

The official waiting-for-Christmas time has begun. Not a bad time to do some good. Jaanika asked me to knit socks for Waldorf fare. Profit goes to support Keila’s Waldorf school.

Pattern I used was very simple - Strawberry Field from Ulla 3/07 I've used it before for Little Miss Liisa's socks. Yarn - 100% wool.

I hope those socks will find some cold feet to warm up.

Beef and ale stew.

Saturday I tried Jamie Oliver's recipe beef and ale stew. I tend to be a bit afraid of Jamie's recipes because they usually have some little twist and this is also usually where things go wrong for me. But this was absolutely delicious! And easy. Well, you need to have at least 3 hours for cooking...

Roughly chop carrots, 2 celery sticks and 2 onions. Fry them with a bit of olive oil for 10 minutes.

Add 500g beef cubes, 1 pack crushed tomatoes, 1 heaped tablespoon of flour and 500ml delicious Guinness.Let it boil for 2,5h under the lid and 30 minutes without the lid. Enjoy!
