both in the garden and inside the house.

Baking - Our Beautiful World

Salty cheese pie with ham...

This Sunday's topic for Our Beautiful World is BAKING, chosen by Ros.

At first I have to confess that I don't do any baking. No cakes in our house, it is not our thing. This started when my husband got enthusiastic with low carb dieting. So I share with you some cakes and pastries offered and partly baked by my daughter-in-law. She has a 'flour thumb'. We have this expression in Finnish but am not sure whether it is used in English.

It was a lovely summer party at the country side.
The house was filled with these precious and beautiful little girls.

Karelian Pirogs are typical salty pastries, originally from South Karelia

You can read more of these Karelian Pirogs at Wikipedia.
These are usually served with butter mixed with hard boiled eggs - munavoi - egg butter.

Coffee with cookies and cakes...

Strawberry cake - a must in the summer...

Cheese cake with sitrus and apricot flavour...

They say that at seventeen the girls are at their prettiest...
I think they all are prettier than these roses!

The next Sunday's topic is WINDOW.

Join us and have fun!

Five Clematis this Friday

Today a short post of 5 clematis. My clematis are not very abundant this year. But some flowers are starting to appear... Clematis on the Web is a great site, listing all the known clematis from A to Z.
