Tomorrow is Miami Open Men’s Final. We are going to see two remarkable players.
1.NOVAK DJOKOVIC
and
2. KEI NISHIKORI
Novak Djokovic with his current aura of gold has lost just one time in Miami since 2010 and has won 55 of his last 57 matches at Masters 1000 events.
This man, a gluten free fanatic,a joker and the most amazing human being is writing history of tennis.
And not just by chasing a very lucky, little, yellow ball but also by representing tennis as a sport.
By having the foundation to help children or by dancing in New York he is with us and we are together in the midst of tennis history….and we are not even aware of it.
Why?
Because there are so many unfairly ifs send towards him and I know when it is all said and done, he will be the greatest the sport has ever seen.
Until then I am making quick, no bake bread called “Oreo in Paris”.

When I laugh with my friends I called him Bill Cosby and by him I I mean “psycho boss”.
You know the type: charming, controlling freak, narcissists and masters of deception. One of my favorite explanation is the following
“Psychopaths operate from a warped moral code and experience little to no guilt or remorse over telling lies. These bosses are skilled at avoiding accountability and have a Teflon-like capability to deflect blame. They lie, omit information, rephrase the truth, and misrepresent facts. They take credit for ideas that they did not come up with.”
So, how many of you have this kind of experience every day in your life? And how do you deal with it?
For me I like to bake. Baking is the perfect escape from my cold reality. I can even create perfect little creatures in this fictional life and I can make them from anything I like…like ginger
and there you have it…perfect little ginger people with the big heart in the middle. (Reality, eat your heart out)
In this baking escape I like to make cake that my grandmother made for me every week when I was a child.
It is my favorite and the best cake ever – THE CARROT CAKE.
My grandmother used to make different version of her basic recipe. It can be with cheese or with chocolate icing.
There are so much memory connected to this cake and very often when I need something to “hold on” and forget “reality” I make this cake.
And it makes me smile. I love the color, I love the taste and I love to pretend that I am eating the healthiest cake ever made..The Carrot Cake.
And because of memory of my grandmother I like to share this recipe with you.
I know somewhere she is watching over me and saying: “Still your favorite cake…” Yes, grandma still my favorite cake.
Thank you for the recipe…and the memory.
Now, I need to start making carrot cake. The version that I selected today is carrot cake with cheese frosting.
My grandmother used to make very special frosting with secret ingredients.
Her secret ingredients was apple sauce and strawberries.
You will find yourself making this cake all the time.
Quick and easy, it will become your family favorite!
For this recipe you need the usual ingredients: flour, sugar, oil, eggs, cinnamon, walnuts, cheese, apple sauce, strawberries, vanilla, baking soda and salt.
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain some time When you take you gotta give so live and let live Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don’t find roses growin’ on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well if sweet-talkin’ you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let’s be jolly Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that’s what it takes to hold you I’d just as soon let you go But there’s one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap, still waters run deep And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I’m talkin’ about So smile for a while and let’s be jolly Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There’s gotta be a little rain some time, I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
MAGICAL LEMON BARS
MAGIC IS SOMETHING YOU MAKE…SO MAKE LEMON BARS…
and remember.
“It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done”.
Let’s start making Coffee Crepe Cups. Before I start making them let’s talk about crepes. The word crepe is French for pancake and is derived from the Latin crispus meaning “curled”.
Crepes originated around the 12 century in Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. Crêpes are also common in other European nations, such as Italy, Poland, Romania, and Denmark, although they are known under different names.
In areas of Eastern Europe, the meal is called palacinka (Serbian,Czech, Slovenian). In Danish, it is Pandekage and in Dutch it is pannekoeken. There are two types of crepes:
Sweet
Savory
Now that we have a basic knowledge of crepes we can start making them.
This is my favorite recipe and it is the best one you can find on the Internet. I made million version of this recipe but today it is my coffee version.
(Does it look like Cappuccino?)
For this recipe we need the following ingredients: eggs, milk, coffee, flour, salt, oil, water.
Coffee Crepe Cups - Part 2
Ingredients
1 cup AP flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup coffee
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup H20 (water)
1/8 tbs salt
1 tbsp oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour and the eggs.
Add milk, coffee, water, salt and oil.
Beat until smooth.
Let batter sit at least 15 min at room temperature or if you are not in a hurry you can refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day, whisk before using.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with oil. Add 1/2 cup batter and swirl to completely cover bottom of skillet. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown.
Loosen edge of crepe with a rubber spatula or knife, and quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more.
Turn crepe out onto plate.
Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with oil and stacking crepes on plate.
Now, my friend you are ready for “Fancy Coffee Crepe Cup”.

Add more whip cream…(and why wouldn’t you?)
And add the finishing touch…. You can use walnuts, hazelnuts, chocolate…
Now, grab your spoon and let’s eat. Don’t ask me how, just start from the top and ….keep going…
I hope, I am your favorite Hello and hardest Goodbye.
