Easter is coming


Klara tries to hide the fact that she likes it.

I got myself a Nikon D40. It was actually meant as a replacement for the Ixus, should the third one have been faulty too. It wasn't. It isn't. Still, I could not return the D40, and decided to keep it after having it in the box for three weeks. It was like waiting for Christmas. :P
Needless to say, I'm completely in love with it, and the pictures it delivers are crazy good. And the Ixus was good, but the D40 is off the chart. For 3000SEK it was a bargain, and pictures from now on will mostly be from this baby.

Btw, if anyone needs a good recipe for pancakes, here's the winner. ;)
(The recipe is from an old Hungarian cookbook, Horváth Ilona szakácskönyv.)

  • 20 dkg of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 5dl milk
  • 0,5dl oil
  • Pinch of salt
Mix all of this in a bowl, but use only 3dl of milk, let it get all cozy in the fridge for a couple of hours. When it's time to fire up the pans, mix in about 1dl of the remaining milk, and check if the texture is good enough (just try one portion in a pan, if it doesn't flow around easily and evenly in the pan, then add more of the remaining milk and try again).
Use medium-high heat on your stove, and constantly adjust, around 15s per side should bake them nicely.
For the best result, use a pan that is thick, and preferably has a sharp edge around it. If the edge between the wall and the bottom is rounded, the pancakes won't have nice, even edges.
