From the icy rivers and 100.000 lakes of Finland...
around the world!
This award was from Rita and the one below both from Rita and Jenny...
here a plain, but very useful tip from Rita. She's actually got it from her Iranian friends, but we can use it everywhere in every country of the world. Because yogurt is always useful and while ordinary milk in it's natural form ism very difficult to digest for the human body, yogurt does have the enzymes needed...
Elina's father made yoghurt. He boiled milk for some 20 minutes, let it cool a while and then added a spoonful of ordinary plain Bulgarian yoghurt he had bought at the grocer's. He left the mixture on the table for 5 hours. Perhaps I'll try that, too...
But now let's take a look half around the globe...

They have all been so sweet and generous with awards and attention and affinity... but I just didn't have any time to spare for the internet since I was all wrapped up with business and renovations...
Brad, Rita and Jenny have truly been very generous and I would like to share these awards with all of you.
But more than that: I want to give you a taste of what their blog is like and in Jenny's case you can even take that literally...
Jenny lives in Malaysia and naturally things are very different there...
