Pancakes and pumpkin

Looks tasty?? It's sure is. Just make some ordinary non sweet pancakes and serve it with stewed pumpkin.

 The recipe for stewed pumpkin: Fry some leek in a pan with a some butter. Cut pumpkin in small pieces and ad it to the pan. Fry for four minutes the add  milk just to cover the bottom of the pan. Add spice (salt, pepper. I added chili pepper) and stir. Let it shimmer am minute and pour it all on the pancakes. Dekorate with green leek and serve :) Simple but special ;)

Coffee in style

I do am really fond of coffee cozies. I love the cuteness they have and when I create ones I try to make it like a little out fit for your coffee. Drinking coffee is more a ritual to me. I didn't liked coffee till I was 21. I still remember my first espress with mom. Mom seemed to enjoy her espresso, so I asked  to order me one too  ( I was 16 I guess) but I didn't manage to drink it even with tones of sugar. Then when I was a student one of my roommates made me a coffee with a real milk. When I say real, I mean the real thing - the fat non treated milk right from the cow and not the one you by at your local shop. It was delicious. From that moment I fell in love with Latte coffee. Also their is good memories combined with this taste. The summer camp and a bunch of coffee maniacs boiling water for they coffee before using the main pot for breakfast tea. Cheering, poring the water into the cups and with relaxing "Ahh..." enjoying their morning coffee :) The morning in Italy at hotel in Desenzano Del Garda, where we stayed after two hard and hot days of long hitchhiking.  The shower was good but the sight of a morning coffee on the breakfast table was magical. The taste was heavenly!  I even met my soul mate on a coffee meeting ( a bunch of friends gather to meet at a cafe to drink coffee and chat ) and he can't spend a day without a coffee :) He now has his own coffee cozy.

It's fun to have your own coffee cozy. I like to make them as gifts for my friends according to their personalities:)
Here's some new ones I made for sale. Maybe you'll recognize yourself in them or your friends.
