A date cake in a cool pi mold

I made this date cake for christmas table. I made it in a pi model we bought from New York last summer. So here's the recipe:

A date cake

• 250g Dates
• 3 dl Water
• 1.5 dl Sugar
• 200g Margarin or butter
• 2 Eggs

• 2 tspns Vanilla sugar
• 3.5 dl Wheat flour

Chop the dates and boil in a pan with water and sugar until pureed. Add water to the warm mixture and let it melt. Chill and add the eggs one by one while whisking. Compound baking powder and vanilla sugar with flours. Add to the date mixture.Mix as little as possible. Pour into an oiled mold and cook in 175°C for about an hour.

Simple, but still amazing-tasting gingerbread house

I made this cool house at our independence day (6.12, I'm a Finn). I used some ready-made gingerbread dough and printed the patterns from the net. Then I cut them and rolled the gingerbread. I cut the shapes of each peaces. I baked them in an oven in 200°C for about ten minutes. Then I let them cool and glued the pieces together with a mixture of water and powdered sugar. Then I decorated it with powdered sugar.

My week at work

            

I had a TET-week. It means that I spend a day at work and I don't have to go to school. The abbreviation comes from Finnish words TyöElämään Tutustuminen. It means something like getting to know to worklife.
     So I went to an Italian-Greek restaurant called Etrusco. It was fun. I prepped stuff, cleaned places and washed dishes. All amounts were illustrative purpose only because the recipes in restaurant were inaccurate. Here's a recipe I learnt there:




Chicken pasta

• Some cream
• Some blue cheese
• Some pasta
• Sun-dried tomato pesto
• Parmesan

Warm the cream in a pan and add the blue cheese. Let it melt. Add pasta. Put on a plate and add a tablespoonful of pesto on it. Add parmesan.
