A couple pictures from last night. We had a girls night with two of my friends, we have this tradition from time to time to go over to some of us, cook something new while chatting, drinking wine and just relaxing before the weekend. So yes now we did that at my place, and it was just what I needed. Girl talk, good food and some wine. We cooked a shrimp avocado pasta, it was so delicious, and by the end of the night all was gone. If someone is interested in the recipe, I’ll put it shortly below the next picture.
Pari kuvaa eiliseltä tyttöjen illalta. Meillä on kahden kaverini kanssa tapana aina silloin tällöin mennä jonkun meistä luokse ennen viikonloppua: laittamaan jotain uutta ruokaa, juomaan viiniä, höpöttelemään ja vain rentoutumaan. Tällä kertaa oltiin mun luona, ja ruoaksi valikoitui avokado-katkarapupasta. Niin hyvää että olihan se illan päätteeksi kaikki kadonnut. Mikäli joku on kiinnostunut reseptistä, laitan sen seuraavan kuvan alle, tietääkseni Stockan reseptejä.
Ingredients:
1 onion, 1 lemon, 2 avocados, tagliatelle pasta, food cream, olive oil, spinach, shrimps (/crayfish tails?), parmesan
1. Fry chopped onion on a pan in olive oil
2. Put some diced lemon peel and spinach leaves in the pan. Let stir for a moment.
3. Add food cream and a little bit of lemon juice from that lemon.
4. Spice it with black pepper and salt
5. Cook some tagliatelle pasta and put it in the pan
6. Peel avocados and mix them together with some shrimps in the food
7. Serve with parmesan cheese flakes and white wine!
Ainekset:
1 sipuli, 1 sitruuna, 2 avocadoa, tagliatelle tuorepastaa, 2 dl ruokakermaa, oliiviöljyä, pinaattia, ravunpyrstöjä, parmesan-juustoa
1. Kuullota pannulla öljyssä silputtu sipuli
2. Raasta sitruunan kuorta ja laita pannulle pinaattien kanssa, anna hetken hautua
3. Lisää ruokakerma ja vähän sitruunasta puristettua mehua
4. Mausta pippurilla ja suolalla
5. Kuori avokadot ja lisää ne kuutioituina pannulle samaan aikaan ravunpyrstöjen kanssa
6. Nauti parmesan juustolastujen ja vaikkapa valkkarin kanssa!
The night was lovely, but I could barely sleep last night after hearing the news what was happening in Paris. Although I have on some level always avoided talking about news on my blog, I know I have a lot of readers in France, and I just want to say that my thoughts are with you. That kind of a horrible attack touches everyone everywhere, so sad. Praying for Paris. Can I just quote one Justin Bieber song: hate may win some battles, but love wins in the end.
Vaikka ilta oli ihana, en meinannut yöllä saada unta luettuani uutiset. Vältän blogissani uutisista puhumista jollain tasolla, mutta tiedän että täällä on paljon lukijoita Ranskastakin, joten haluan vain sanoa, että ajatukseni ovat siellä heidän kanssaan. Noin hirveä hyökkäys koskettaa jokaista. Täytyy quotata nyt Justin Bieberin laulua: hate may win some battles, but love wins in the end.

I’m from Paris and I’m glad to read your post to think about something else but I absolutly don’t know what to write in my comment. Friday the 13th means horror for us, it was just a terrible night so I can’t write you something like “looks like you had great evening”, but I’m happy you had, I do. Thanks for your thoughts.
Marianna says
I can only imagine… So sad that there aren’t words. Thank you for the comment Fanny. x
Anna says
Looks like a really lovely tradition. We had a very similar dinner at home with courgette pasta instead of the real deal. A bottle of sauvignong blanc and everything was great.
I’m just really sad and shocked about the attacks in France. There is no way to put what I feel into words.
Marianna says
Oh that’s sounds really good! And yes exactly how I feel too, no words for the madness. x
Patricia says
Love the table!!!

Dear Mariannan,
you really are an idol for me and i normally love everything in your Blog. But in view of the tragic evening yesterday i think this post about your wonderful evening is kind of inappropriate. i will furthermore follow you, because your blog is the best one.
Love,
Mia
Sara says
Sorry, Mia, don’t agree with you, because Marianna even expressed it in her post what her thoughts are about.
I am really sorry for what has happened in France last night, and there is no excuse for that. But it makes me think about this: truth is, horrors of this kind happen in other parts of the world a lot recently, and, without aiming at hurting anyone at all, but rather being philosophic, do we care in the same way about those people “outside our circle”? Places like Beirut, like Siria or Russian plane from the recent? My question is rather rhytorical, and, again, not against anyone here…
Wishing peace to everyone…
Karin says
I agree with Sara and understand her thoughts,
there is nothing inappropriate in this post.
We all are living our lives in some way, in some other place and naturally care the most about people inside of “our circle”.
Simply because not all of us have the possibility to take care of more/ all the people in the world although we wish we could avoid them suffering.
So at least thinking about or praying for them is also a nice thing to do, because unfortunately, there are still people, who don’t care about anyone else at all…

wonderful words

Yeah… True… As an example, who thought of it as inappropriate to celebrate Halloween on October, 31 when the mentioned flight crashed tragically same day with more than 200 dead…
Sissi says
Dear Mia,
Why do not you pray all day for the victims , but are you reading blogs?
Have you no shame?
And what did you do yesterday?
I had a dinner with friends too.
This is not to insult for the victims from Paris.
Marianna,
thank you for recipe, i will try it. 🙂
Timmi says
Totally agreed Sissi.
Laeticia says
Dear Mia,
I don’t understand the reason why you think this post is innapropriate. As a parisian girl, i’m deeply shocked and sad. The news on TV are on repeat since tonight, everything is closed outside and everyone is so miserable that we really need to think to something else.
Marianna says
Thank you all for the good comments. I’m relieved to hear that many of you didn’t find this inappropriate or disrespectful, since that’s the least I wanted this post to be. x
Dixi Wonderland says
What happen in Paris, there are really no words but we can´t forget that this is/was an everyday situation for all the people that are putting them self in danger trying to come to Europe for a better life. I hope people start to realize that we all bleed red.
Rae says
Sounds fun! And delicious 🙂

I slept with a heavy heart last nigh as well after hearing about what happened in Paris, and all over the world. The best thing to do is to surround ourselves with loved ones and be thankful for everything in our lives!

Hi Marianna,
I read your blog since 2010. 5 years that I love you, and your beautiful pics. I never let comments, but today, it’s a different kind of day. When I saw your support for Paris and France, just cried. After all these years of blogging, and your popularity, you stay human and benevolent to your readers.
Just stay what you are, stay Marianna. Thanks a lot.
