This year I had a totally different midsummer than what I’m used to. We had a dinner party thing with Alexa at my place, and it was so fun! We decided to make a habit of this: inviting ourselves to each others places, just cook, eat and drink wine in a good company! Such a refreshing midsummer!
Tänä vuonna oli vähän erilainen juhannus mihin on totuttu, mutta hyvä niin! Meillä oli Alexan kanssa vain niin hauskaa: oltiin mun luona, kokkailtiin, juotiin viiniä ja naurettiin. Päätettiin ottaa tälläiset illat tavaksi, seuraavaksi Alexan luona!
Summery drink. Sparkling strawberry wine with strawberries!
Kesädrinkki, mansikkakuoharia mansikoiden kera!
We split the menu so that Alexa made the main course and I was in charge of the dessert!
Jaettiin tehtävät niin, että Alexa kokkaili pääruoan ja minä taas vastasin jälkkäristä!
Yum yum, delicious chicken cooked by Alexa. It was perfect!!
Kanaa kasvispedillä, ja oi miten maukasta olikaan. Alexa onnistui kyllä täydellisesti!
Flat iron curls. I wish I could say I made these myself, but no… I’m still struggling with it!
Suoristusrautakiharat. Voisinpa sanoa, että itse tekemät, mutta ei… Vieläkin ongelmia tässä, mutta pientä kehitystä kokoajan!
I’ve decorated a small garden on my window board.. I love summer when I can keep the window open, and fresh flowers of course!
Pikkupuutarha mun ikkunalaudalla.. Rakastan kun kesällä saa pitää ikkunaa auki, ja tuoreita kukkia maljakossa!
Chocolate brownies with cream cheese icing à la Marianna 😉
Suklaabrownie tuorejuustokuorrutteella à la Marianna
Thanks again for the fun night Alexa! Can’t wait to do this again!!
Kiitos vielä Alexalle illasta, vitsit miten hauskaa olikaan! Seuraavaa kertaa odotellessa!
…and thanks for the amazing luxurious scented candle I got as a gift! So sweet.
Tälläisen ihanan lahjankin sain, luksus tuoksukynttilän!

I love evenings like this! Meeting with best friend/friends, eating and drinking delicious things and talking about everything. Last night I spent with my friends too. We drank pina colada (it tasted so good!) and had very nice time. My vacation started a few days ago and finally I can begin relaxing time. You wrote that you have problem with making flat iron curls – it’s not so hard, trust me. You need more probes and I’m sure you learn do this quickly.
Greetings from summery Poland and wish you have more as great evenings as you had with Alexa 🙂

Kävinkin jo Alexan blogiin kommentoimassa kuinka rakastan niin noita huonekalujasi, pöytää ja tuoleja. Meiltä löytyy suvusta myös paljon nuita jurvalaisia, sieltä päin kun on suku kotoisin. Ehkä sitten jonain päivänä saan ne perinnöksi :))

This looks and sounds like the perfect midsummer! Delicious food and yummy drinks and great company 🙂
The little garden looks so nice, nothing beats summer and its scents and blooms!
I miss the summer time in Finland so much, the light nights, the atmosphere – and the totally empty Helsinki 😀 I was in Helsinki on midsummer 2007 with 2 other German friends living there at that time and we were amazed at how empty it was!
Next summer I will be back, can’t wait!
Hope the rest of the summer will be great for you as well 🙂
