La estación veraniega comenzó a las 14.26 horas

The summer officially begun this afternoon, at 14h26. Here in Prague temperatures have been quite high for a couple of weeks. Shorts, miniskirts, t-shirts and sandals can be seen everywhere. In fact, Summer ‘06 begun some time ago. Still we have some rains, short but heavy. It cools us down so it’s quite nice though

This morning I woke up late and decided to prepare something especial. I must say I’m a terrible cook, whenever I try to cook something different it turns out bad. Today I was on the mood for cooking a desert. I recently learned how to say that in check: “Mám dobrou náladu pro vařine dezert” This reminds me I haven’t done my homework yet…

So, as I should have guess, cooking an apple strudel is not simple... for me. I must be crazy, the oven rose the temperature in the apartment up to 30°C, what was I thinking of? Pleasing my man? First I struggle with the dough; I couldn’t get it thin enough at it kept sticking to my fingers, to the plate, to the roll. There was flour all over me, and all over the kitchen. And I didn’t strictly follow the recipe, so the dough melted when I poured the hot apples - I was supposed to wait ‘till they cooled down. :(

I managed to create something not too horrible; I don’t know if we’ll eat it, but in the end it was fun.

Here’s my little monster… (maybe with a nice decoration...)













And this is how it should look like…

Today is ‘la fête de la musique’, if you’re in Prague, see you in Prague 5 - Smíchov
