"Terveysshotit" olivat herkullisia, mutta smoothie-shottien niin koostumus oli niin paksu, että juoma ei ensin ollut tulla pullosta, ja sitten se jo purskahtikin voimalla pikku lasiin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffet table was filled with fresh and high quality foods, dishes were also refilled frequently.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The "health shots" were delicious, but the&amp;nbsp;healthy smoothie&amp;nbsp;was so thick, that&amp;nbsp;first it was difficult to get it out of the bottle and then it bursted out in full force.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6mQaLD5_VfE/TxwegmMbPMI/AAAAAAAAMUo/SHWcVdxQNEk/s1600/Jari%2B20.1-003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6mQaLD5_VfE/TxwegmMbPMI/AAAAAAAAMUo/SHWcVdxQNEk/s640/Jari%2B20.1-003.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pääruokana oli Eggs Benedictine, Eggs Florentine tai Eggs Royal (lohella) ja erilaisia purilaisia. Nämä toivatkin raskaampaa vastapainoa raikkalle buffetille. Jälkiruoaksi oli vielä&amp;nbsp; juustoja, kakkuja ja hedelmiä ja marjoja. Brunssilla pärjäsi koko päivän, se jäi illalla nautitun&amp;nbsp;vesimeloonisalaatin &amp;nbsp;lisäksi päivän ainoksi ateriaksi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sisustus&amp;nbsp;oli pelkistetty, asiakkaat olivat "nuoria kaupunkilaisia", kuten brunsseilla näköjään yleensäkin. Jälleen kerran nelikymppiset olivat vanhimpia asiakkaita... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brunssin normaalihinta oli 25 €, jolle sai mielestäni hyvää vastinetta. Olin ostanut jostain nettidiilistä 50% alennuksella&amp;nbsp;brunssin Siipalle joululahjaksi, joten meille se oli vieläkin edullisempi. Tänne voisin tulla brunssille uudestaankin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Main course was a choise between Eggs Benedictine, Eggs Florentine, Eggs Royal and different burgers. These options&amp;nbsp;were quite heavy, so&amp;nbsp;it was good that the buffet was fresh and light.&lt;br /&gt;There were cheeses, fruits and berries and cakes for dessert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interior was minimal and patrons mainly "cool young city people". Oce again us "forty somethings"&amp;nbsp;were the eldest customers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list price for the brunch is 25 €, but I had bought ½ price wouchers, so it was a very good deal for us.&lt;br /&gt;Here I could come again for&amp;nbsp;the bruch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-2205969014416262044?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/2205969014416262044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=2205969014416262044&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/2205969014416262044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/2205969014416262044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2012/01/restaurant-review-senaatin-hiili-brunch.html' title='Restaurant review; Senaatin Hiili brunch in Helsinki'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LQEI7JrEiIY/TxwefGWciaI/AAAAAAAAMUA/XPMWfXR1hLM/s72-c/Jari%2B20.1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-6577878354464618054</id><published>2012-01-23T08:44:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T09:20:04.478+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Helsinki'/><title type='text'>Happy Chinese New Year</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIBYd7RBRlg/Txwg0VJ7aQI/AAAAAAAAMU0/M_Otuos_nb8/s1600/P1130743.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GIBYd7RBRlg/Txwg0VJ7aQI/AAAAAAAAMU0/M_Otuos_nb8/s640/P1130743.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Voimakkaan ja rohkean Lohikäärmeen vuosi alkaa&amp;nbsp;tänään ja luvassa on vanhoista, aikansa eläneistä    kaavoista irtautumista, oikein ajoitettua riskien ottamista sekä ilman odotuksia uusille mahdollisuuksille avautumista.

Bodenin mekkojen runko on minulle sopiva ja miltei kaikista malleista löytyy myös pidempi/polvet peittävä&amp;nbsp;versio, ja olenkin tilannut sieltä muutaman&amp;nbsp;mekon parin vuoden aikana. Miltei polvipituinen neuletakki on miltei samaa mallia kuin viime vuonna tilaamani vaalea beige neuletakki, jota olen käyttänyt todella paljon. Myös materiaalit ovat laadukkaita, todella pestäviä ja kestäviä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Näiden pariksi sopisivat australialaiset &lt;a href="http://www.walnutmelbourne.com/sale"&gt;Walnutin ballerinat&lt;/a&gt;. Ihastuin Walnutin kenkiin toissa kesän Australian-matkallamme ja tilasin sieltä kahdet kengät viime keväänä. Odottelen kuitenkin, jos kengät menisivät vielä myöhemmin&amp;nbsp;-50% aleen.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My &lt;a href="http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/04/out-of-comfort-zone.html"&gt;yellow skirt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been a big hit, I and everyone else have liked it, I have used it also troughout winter with black.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encouraged by the colors (and current&amp;nbsp;-20% discount) I ordered from &lt;a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/"&gt;Boden&lt;/a&gt; a green-white cotton dress and a red cotton-cashmere cardigan. I have liked the design of Boden's dresses&amp;nbsp;(and longer alternatives in most dresses)&amp;nbsp;and have almost similar Boden cardigan in light beige which I have used a lot. Quality of their garments is very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also could buy Walnut's &lt;a href="http://www.walnutmelbourne.com/sale"&gt;linen-leather ballerina flats&lt;/a&gt;, but I am waiting further discounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Päivitys:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tilasin&amp;nbsp;Bodenin&amp;nbsp;vaatteet&amp;nbsp;viime keskiviikkona, olivat lähettäneet seuraavana päivänä ja saapuivat tänään. Lähetysmaksu on 6£/toimitus eli ihan kohtuullinen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mekon vihreä on hieman tummempi kuin kuvassa, puuvillapopliinia, vuoritettu valkoiselal puuvillabatistilla, punainen neuletakki on tosiaan aika kirkas, mutta silti nämä jäävät, varsinkin kesämmällä tulee käytettyä paljon, kun taas saa hieman väriä talvisen kammoittavan kalpeuden vastapainoksi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered&amp;nbsp;the Boden garments last Wednesday, they were mailed the next day and arrived today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dress is slightly darker than in th photo, light weight cotton popeline with cotton batist lining.&amp;nbsp;The red cardigan really is of a bright shade. Anyhow, both are keepers and I believe they will get lots of use in the summer when I have tanned a bit, now I am very pale...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-111191084986909422?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/111191084986909422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=111191084986909422&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/111191084986909422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/111191084986909422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2012/01/colorful-spring.html' title='Colorful spring'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OCu9HKCt1bY/Txg88-ZNuiI/AAAAAAAAMTk/5NgLJLcRs7s/s72-c/Kuvakaappaukset4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-6556330597475169113</id><published>2012-01-20T13:56:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T13:57:25.131+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bloggers'/><title type='text'>Inspiring blogs/inspiroivat blogit</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Työpaikan&amp;nbsp;pakastimen jaan pomoni kanssa, jolla myöskin alkaa kotona pakkasesta loppua tila, hänellä on pakkasessa poroa ja peuraa, näistä saamme vaihtokaupoilla vielä hieman maistiaisia...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;At the moment our freezer is full besides meat also mushrooms and berries, that I keep a part the meat&amp;nbsp;it even at work!

We will exhange some meats, so we will taste also reindeer and deer in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WW529RQER5Y/Twi3kya795I/AAAAAAAAMNw/IoIlvFJv7sY/s1600/P1100792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WW529RQER5Y/Twi3kya795I/AAAAAAAAMNw/IoIlvFJv7sY/s640/P1100792.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/11/shopping-basket-challenge.html"&gt;Makkarasuulake&lt;/a&gt; Kitchen Aidiin on vielä hakusessa, mutta kunhan saamme sen hankittua, alamme tehdä itse omat makkaramme.

Siellä ne olivat onneksi vielä jäljellä. Nyt omistan n. 100 vuotta vanhat ehjät lautaset (Gretaa valmistettiin vuosina 1911-18), seitsemän matalaa ja seitsemän syvää lautasta lähtivät omakseni yhteishintaan 60 EUR!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Näitä musta-valkoisia lautasi tulee varmaan näkymään ruokapostauksissa tulevaisuudessa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend I decided to buy the plates and to my delight they&amp;nbsp;were still available. Now I&amp;nbsp;am a happy owner of abt. 100 yea old plates (Greta series was produced during years 1911-18). I paid ony 60 EUR of seven dinner and seven soup plates!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These black and white plates will for sure be seen in my food postings in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-331632414082075582?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/331632414082075582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=331632414082075582&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/331632414082075582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/331632414082075582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2012/01/something-i-have-wanted-for-long-time.html' title='Something I have wanted for a long time...'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iSXIDmlKfnk/TwlrquZzpEI/AAAAAAAAMN8/dzrWykKHEfM/s72-c/113_PANA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-6840996096802499094</id><published>2012-01-08T09:07:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T09:07:00.018+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animals'/><title type='text'>It's a dog's life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Light suryp I forgot home and I had to drive from village to village until I found a grocery store selling light syrup. But after all (and after 30 km driving) I had my syrup and could make the caramel sauce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Salted caramel sauce &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;1 cup sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;1/4 cup water &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;2 tablespoons light corn syrup &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;3/4 cup heavy cream &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;4 tablespoons unsalted butter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, crushed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup and bring to a boil.

Paketti tuli eilen, mutta odottamani kirjan sijaan sisälsi jonkun minulle tuntemattoman 60-luvun brittipoliitikon elämänkerran... Sähköpostiini palutuksesta/vaihdosta ei ainakaan vielä ole vastattu. Onneksi kirja oli itselle, ei joululahjaksi...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Do you remember my &lt;a href="http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/11/shopping-basket-challenge.html"&gt;shopping list&lt;/a&gt;? I had Mariia's sterling silver wing pendant on the lis. I bought it to myself as a pre Christmas gift and love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered from the same list Stylist's guide to New York book from Amazon. The parcel arrived yesterday, but instead of the awaited book it containded memoirs of an unknown (at least to me) British 60's politician. I have emailed the sender, but at least this far haven't received any info on return/exchange. Fortunately the book wasn't a Christmas gift.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-1226821401946520576?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/1226821401946520576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=1226821401946520576&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/1226821401946520576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/1226821401946520576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-16th-my-present-for-myself.html' title='December 16th;

Tämä helppo valmiin Ikean tyynynpäällisen koristelu onnistui minultakin TV:n katsomisen lomassa. Käsistään näppärä ehtii nimikoida tyynyt vielä jouluksi.

Katsoin niitä lähempää; ne&amp;nbsp;maksoivat vain euron! Jostain oli&amp;nbsp;tippunut kukka, toisessa oli yksi keltainen lehti, mutta löysin neljä loistokuntoista yksilöä kotiin ja lahjaksi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vanhin orkideani on 12 vuotta sitten tupaantuliaislahjaksi saatu, se on kukkinut varmaan 20 kertaa ja on kukassa tälläkin hetkellä (ja todella huonolla hoidolla!). Näistäkin siis voi olla iloa vielä vuosiksi!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;p.s. While I was in Ikea buying the cushion &amp;amp; cushion cover; I saw an amazing bargain; phalaenopsis originally 12 € now only 1 €. There were few dry bud or a yellow leaf, but mosly htey were in great condition, so I bought several for home and to give away. The oldest phalaenopsis&amp;nbsp;I have is &amp;nbsp;a house warming gift from a friend I received 12 years ago. I has bloomed maybe 20 times this far, practicaly with no care at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-1956005695222590974?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/1956005695222590974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=1956005695222590974&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/1956005695222590974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/1956005695222590974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-13th-diy-monogrammed-cushion.html' title='December 13th;

Joulukoristeetkaan eivät vielä ole esillä. Lisäksi olen ollut kovan korvatulehduksen kourissa, joten mihinkään ylimääräiseen ei olisi ollut voimiakaan, tänään täytynee suunnata taas lääkäriin, kun lääkkeet eivät näytä tehoavan... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Olen siis vain tyytynyt joulufiilistelemään &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pinterest.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pinterestissä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; viime päivinä.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Days are now so short and dark that there hasn't been many photo opportunities. I haven't taken Christmas decorations out either. Additionally I have had a bad case of ear infection for several days, so haven't had much enthusiatism for anything extra in the past days. To get on the Christmas mood I did browse a bit around in &lt;a href="http://www.pinterest.com/"&gt;Pinterest&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="Tumblr_lvbtu2iebw1r0kn9to1_500_large" class="img" id="main_image" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/18465374/tumblr_lvbtu2iebW1r0kn9to1_500_large.jpg" /&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Helsingissä eivät maisemat ole vielä kovin jouluiset...

Jos viettäisin tämän joulun matkoilla, valitsisin kaupunkiloman rantakohteiden sijaan. Olemme kuitenkin kotona ja sukuloimassa tänä jouluna.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;I have been abroad several times on Christmas.

Monissa blogeissa on arvioitu Blossan vuosikertaglögiä viime viikkoina, joten sitähän piti päästä maistamaan.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;En ole aiemmin juonut Blossan glögejä, yleensä teen omani itse ja tänäkin vuonna glögiä on&amp;nbsp;valmistumassa lahjaksi (resepti tulossa myöhemmin).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Olin ymmärtänyt, että Blossaa saadaan Alkoon vain hyvin rajoitettu määrä ja juoma loppuu nopeasti. Ostin pullon jo viikkoja sitten, mutta lähi-Alkossa Blossaa oli myynnissä vielä viime viikonloppunakin. Ehkäpä suomalaiset vuosikertaglögit ovat ottaneet osansa markkinasta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blossa11 on maustettu elsalvadorilaisista Arabica-pavuista paahdetulla kahvilla. Viinipohjana on ranskalaista valkoviiniä, espanjalaisia paxarett- ja muscatelviinejä sekä konjakkia. Blossan perusresepti on 1800-luvulta. 15-prosenttinen glögi on aika vahvaa ja makeaa. Juoman maku oli mieleemme, kahvin aromit maistuivat, mutta eivät olleet liian päällekäyviä.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Toista pulloa tätä vuosikertaa en ole kuitenkaan hankkimassa, ensi viikonlopuna juodaan omenapohjaista valkoista glögiä ja jouluna alla valmista jokavuotisen portiin ja mustaviinimarjamehuun&amp;nbsp;pohjautuvan glögini. Tsaikat eivät useinkaan pääse käyttöön, mutta glögit juodaan perinteisesti&amp;nbsp;niistä.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Hot mulled wines are very popular in Scandinavia on Christmas time. After reading reviews from other blogs&amp;nbsp;of Swedish Blossa 2011 annual edition mulled wine, I decided I have to taste it.&amp;nbsp;2011 was the first edition I have tasted, usually I make my own mulled wine (recipe will follow closer to Christmas).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;For the ninth year in a row, Blossa releases its vintage mulled wine, and this year it is flavoured with roasted Arabica-bean coffee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Some testers haven't liked the coffee flavour in sweet and strong mulled wine, but we enjoyed it. I will probably buy another Blossa bottle next year, but before this Christmas I will make my own hot drinks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-8870160084293613922?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/8870160084293613922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=8870160084293613922&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/8870160084293613922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/8870160084293613922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-9th-blossa-mulled-wine.html' title='December 9th; Blossa mulled wine'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-arUnjlsIUg4/TtpLUNxjEhI/AAAAAAAAL0k/Kshb3aE6zdY/s72-c/P1120407.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-3461134305082144567</id><published>2011-12-08T08:16:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-08T08:16:00.925+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christmas'/><title type='text'>December 8th; DIY Christmas cookie mix</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mcK6YLLRhIQ/TtpMdSgnZFI/AAAAAAAAL08/kpJhhu_q3Kw/s1600/P1120442.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mcK6YLLRhIQ/TtpMdSgnZFI/AAAAAAAAL08/kpJhhu_q3Kw/s320/P1120442.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Joulun ruokalahjoja on mukava tehdä, mutta niiden tekeminen voi olla työlästä ja joulun aikaan makeaa tulee&amp;nbsp;helposti saatua lahjaksi&amp;nbsp;enemmän kuin mahan täydeltä.

JFK:lle ja Newarkiin, joka on New Jerseyn osavaltion puolella.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maahantulomuodollisuuksien jälkeen (passintarkastus/maahantulo, tavaroiden noutaminen hihnalta ja tullilomakkeen luovuttaminen virkailijalle) saavut tuloaulaan.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;JFK:lta pääsee kätevimmin taksilla Manhattanille; keltaiset taksit odottavat terminaalin edessä (muutkin tarjoavat kyytiä, mutta virallisia takseja ovat vain keltaiset). Kiinteä hinta on tällä hetkellä 45 USD + tipit ja tietulli = 60 dollaria yhteensä. Kaikki taksit taitavat tällä hetkellä hyväksyä jo luottokortin, pari vuotta sitten käteinen oli varmin maksutapa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yksi vaihtoehto Manhattanille matkustamiseen on &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airtrain.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Airtrain+metro-yhdistelmä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. Seuraa Airtrain-kylttejä, astu kuljettajattomaan junaan joka vie metroasemalle,&amp;nbsp;metroasemalla maksat Airtrainin 5 USD + metrolipun 2,25 USD. Howard Beachilta voit matkustaa A-metrolla ja Jamaican asemalta E-metrolla. Muutaman kerran olen käyttänyt tätä vaihtoehtoa, kun A-junalla on päässyt aivan hotellin viereen Tribecassa, takaisin kentälle olen mennyt taksilla. Myös bussilla ja shuttlebussilla pääsee Manhattanille, lisätietoja &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-taxi-car-van-service.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;täältä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, mutta taksi on kätevin vaihtoehto etenkin ensikertalaiselle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Newarkista Manhattanille matkaamiseen löytyy tietoa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://gonyc.about.com/cs/airlinesairports/a/getto_ewr.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt; täältä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg4apSjjQto/TszXgp5SjFI/AAAAAAAALr0/cStM6cwUyv4/s1600/P1080200.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg4apSjjQto/TszXgp5SjFI/AAAAAAAALr0/cStM6cwUyv4/s640/P1080200.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt; I got a request of general post about New York visits; transportation, tipping, paying in restaurants, safety...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ARRIVAL&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International flights arrive usually at JFK&amp;nbsp;or Newark (which is located&amp;nbsp;in New Jersey state).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After immigration and customs yuo free to head to the City. The easiest otipn is to take a yellow taxi cab&amp;nbsp;in front of the terminal. Fare is 45$ + tip + tolls = 60 $.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cheaper&amp;nbsp;option to get to Manhattan from JFK is to take Airtrain + metro. Follow the Airtrain signs in JFK, take the Airtrain to subway station. Fare is 5 $ for airtrain + 2,25 $ for subway, tickets for both must be paid at the subway station. A train from Howard Beach and E train from Jamaica station will take you to Manhattan. There also buses and shuttle buses from JFK to Manhattan, but taxi is most convinient way to travel especially for a first timer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Info on Newark to Manhattan travel you can find &lt;a href="http://gonyc.about.com/cs/airlinesairports/a/getto_ewr.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIIKKUMINEN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YUPLn6js4g0/Tr6SSQSpbKI/AAAAAAAALnk/a-yqVEHSeMw/s1600/1290312909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YUPLn6js4g0/Tr6SSQSpbKI/AAAAAAAALnk/a-yqVEHSeMw/s640/1290312909.jpg" width="628" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Yorkissa pidempien matkojen&amp;nbsp;kulkemiseen kätevin vaihtoehto on metro. Kartta &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;täällä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. Käytännöllisin&amp;nbsp;lippu on 29 $ maksava&amp;nbsp;seitsemän&amp;nbsp;päivän&amp;nbsp;metrocard (kortin nimi viittaa siis metropoliin, ei metroon, jota kutsutaan subwayksi), jolla pääsee matkustamaan myös bussilla ja &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fotopedia.com/wiki/Roosevelt_Island_Tramway"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Roosevelt Islandin köysiradalla&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mta.info/metrocard/mcgtreng.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kertalippuja ja ladattavia arvolippuja&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; voi myös ostaa asemien lippuautomaateista.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most practical way to travel longer distances in New York is subway. Map &lt;a href="http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Seven day unlimited ride ticket costs 29 $ is also valid in buses and &lt;a href="http://www.fotopedia.com/wiki/Roosevelt_Island_Tramway"&gt;Roosevelt Island tramway&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.mta.info/metrocard/mcgtreng.htm"&gt;Single ride and pay-per-ride tickets&lt;/a&gt; are also available in vending machines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eX3z2BGZ0P0/Trje1-8BsdI/AAAAAAAALl0/PlNw1ejvSXQ/s1600/IMG_6600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="500" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eX3z2BGZ0P0/Trje1-8BsdI/AAAAAAAALl0/PlNw1ejvSXQ/s640/IMG_6600.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kävelemällä tietysti näkee kaupunkia parhaiten, joten hyvät kävelykengät ovat tärkein mukaan pakattava asia. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walking is the best way to see New York City, so good shoes are essential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7_ghezYlfo/TrjdvjKGO4I/AAAAAAAALls/jK7nV8qYr88/s1600/IMG_6577.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7_ghezYlfo/TrjdvjKGO4I/AAAAAAAALls/jK7nV8qYr88/s640/IMG_6577.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taksilla ajaminen on edullista Suomeen verrattuna. Taksia ei voi tilata,&amp;nbsp;takseja on liikeellä&amp;nbsp;yli 5000 ja auto &amp;nbsp;pysäytetään kättä&amp;nbsp;heilauttamalla.&amp;nbsp;Hintatasoon voi tutustua &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://newyork.hopstop.com/search"&gt;&lt;em&gt;täällä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, HopStop on muutenkin kätevä julkisilla liikuttavia matkojakin suunniteltaessa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traveling by&amp;nbsp;taxi is inexpensive compared to Finland. Rates and distances&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://newyork.hopstop.com/search"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. HopStop is a good tool also&amp;nbsp;when planning travel by public transportation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-70SRtkiW4AY/Trk2ySGcgGI/AAAAAAAALmQ/oqGPobt2JJA/s1600/P1080343.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-70SRtkiW4AY/Trk2ySGcgGI/AAAAAAAALmQ/oqGPobt2JJA/s640/P1080343.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Liikkuminen on yleensä ottaen turvallista. New Yorkin rikostilastot ovat huomattavsti kohentuneet 70-luvun villeistä vuosista, poliisit ovat näkyvästi liikkeellä, enkä ole pelännyt liikkua Manhattanilla&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;yölläkään. Monet ennen levottomista alueistakin ovat nykyisin rauhoittuneet. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;New York is generally safe for tourists. The crime records&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;cleaned remarkably since the wild years. Police officers can be seen everywhere and I haven't been scared to take subway or walk on streets late in the night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YuybpdmoxFI/Trk6OpXMGjI/AAAAAAAALms/8z5SQd4uS-8/s1600/P1080060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YuybpdmoxFI/Trk6OpXMGjI/AAAAAAAALms/8z5SQd4uS-8/s640/P1080060.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RAVINTOLAT JA TIPIT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Minulta kysyttiin myös mitä New Yorkissa tulisi välttää... Ketjuravintoloita! Kaupungissa on n. 20000 ravintolaa, joten miksi tyytyä persoonattomiin, muovisiin&amp;nbsp;ketjupaikkoihin, kun yksilöllisiä ravintoloita löytyy joka makuun ja kukkarolle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I was also asked what to avoid in New York... Chain restaurants! There are abt. 20000 restauratn&amp;nbsp;in the City, so why to eat in boring chain places when you can choose from a wide range of cousines and price levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CZO98j-yffA/Trk4OR3fDqI/AAAAAAAALmY/9yyrV9orWZA/s1600/P1070365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CZO98j-yffA/Trk4OR3fDqI/AAAAAAAALmY/9yyrV9orWZA/s640/P1070365.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Laskua pyydetään esim. "Check, please". Ruokalistan hinnat ovat ilman veroa, joten hintoihin&amp;nbsp;lasketaan tipin lisäksi vero&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;8.375%. Jos maksat käteisellä, tarjoilija saattaa kysyä "Do you need change?" eli tarvitsetko vaihtorahaa. Kortilla maksaessa tipin voi lisätä korttiveloitukseen tai maksaa käteisellä. Kahvilat ja ravintolatkaan eivät aina&amp;nbsp;hyväksy maksuvälineeksi kuin käteistä, varsinkin pikku kuppiloissa kannattaa tarkistaa, onko ovella lappua "cash only".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tippien maksaminen on Yhdysvalloissa varsinainen taiteenlaji. Ravintoloissa (=kaikissa paikoissa, joissa on pöytiintarjoilu), maksetaan 15-20% laskun verottomasta loppusummasta tippiä. New Yorkin kaupungin veroprosentti on 8.375%, joten&amp;nbsp;veron kertominen kahdella ja pyöristämien hieman ylöspäin on hyvä muistisääntö. Lasku kannattaa tarkistaaa ennen tipin jättämistä. Joissain paikoissa tarjoilija on saattanut jo lisätä tipin laskuun (gratuity, tip, service charge), jos on huomannut asiakkaiden olevan ulkomaalaisia.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Baaritiskillä juomista maksetaan 1-2 $. Takseille maksetaan tippiä 15%, hotellin siivojallekin on kohteliasta jättää tippiä 1-2 $ päivässä, hotellin ovimiehellekin annetaan 1-2 dollaria taksin pysäyttämisestä. Jos satut käymään kampaajalla tai manikyyrissä, näissäkin paikoissa tipataan. Meitä kiinteisiin hintoihin tottuneita alituinen tippaamien saattaa hämmentää ja ärsyttääkin, mutta maassa maan tavalla. Tippeihin kannattaa matkabudjetissakin varautua. Lisää tippaamisesta &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytix.com/NewYorkCity/articles/tipping.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;täällä&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6vj668tjsA0/TszWl1Gdp1I/AAAAAAAALrs/-Aw-HeCsCHc/s1600/P1080174.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6vj668tjsA0/TszWl1Gdp1I/AAAAAAAALrs/-Aw-HeCsCHc/s640/P1080174.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESTAURANTS/TIPPING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait staff at restaurants expect 15% to 20% gratuity on the total bill. The sales tax is 8.375% within the City, so doubling the tax is a good guideline. Sometimes the gratuity is already added in the check. In bars bartenders are tipped 1-2 $ per drink, taxi drivers get 15% and it is also customary to tip hotel room maids 1-2$ per day also doormen get a dollar bill or two for hailing a cab. If you go to hair dresser or have manicure, remember to tip also the people that serve you.

Myös useita ulkolaisia turisteja kävi liikkeessämme. Ravintolapäivän konsepti näytti olevan tuttu heillekin. Eräs ulkomaalainen asiakas osti ensin yhden pussin, maistoi muutamaa namusta ja kääntyi takaisin ostamaan neljä pussia lisää... Eivät tainneet olla siis ihan huonoja...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We met fun people, they loved the cute look of the goodie bags, several people bought them as hostess and house warming gifts.

Söimme ranskalaisia crostineja, kukkoa viinissä ja suklaakakkua espresson kera. Illallinen maksoi 20 € ja oli hyvinkin hintansa arvoinen. Viiniä ei tarjoiltu, mutta oman pullon sai tuoda mukanaan. Siippa olikin käynyt hakemassa hyvän ranskalaisen punaviinin palan painikkeeksi. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nostimme illallisella lasimme Ravintolapäivälle ja mukavasti sujuneelle "ravintoloitsijaurakalle".

Touko-&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ja elokuun säätkin ovat tietysti olleet suosiollisemmat Ravintolapäivälle kuin kolea marraskuun päivä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osallistummeko siis helmikuussa? Ehkä, konseptia hieman muuttaen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seuraava ruoka-aiheinen koetos on tulossa jo ensi viikonloppuna. Siitä lisää myöhemmin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Our Restaurant day ended at Le Frog, a French pop up restaurant.&amp;nbsp;I and Husband&amp;nbsp;enjoyed a 20 € dinner; French crostinis Cock au Vin and chocolate tart with espresso.

Talvisin saari on vierailijoilta suljettu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saarella voi vuokrata pyörän, käydä taidenäyttelyissä ja kulttuuritapahtumissa, nauttia picniciä ja vain nauttia hieman pysähtyneestä ja rauhallisesta tunnelmasta. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Myös&lt;a href="http://newyork.trapezeschool.com/about/directions.php?sublocation=nyc3"&gt; trapetsikoulu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; oli paikalla käydessämme saarella.

There are also many othe local producers with their quality products. We  tasted several food, ate delicious ice creams and bought beef jerky. Here yo can buy groceries for Governor's Island picnic.&lt;br /&gt;There is at least one free water way from Manhattan, will write about that within a week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-6236660266809696312?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/6236660266809696312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=6236660266809696312&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/6236660266809696312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/6236660266809696312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-new-york-clippers-boats-ferries-and.html' title='My New York; clippers, boats &amp; ferries and Governor&apos;s Island'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lmp0pMrztNk/Tp7R4eNAuSI/AAAAAAAALY4/yzF76Qpks6I/s72-c/P1060619.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-8338377289199708289</id><published>2011-11-05T07:32:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-11-05T07:32:00.548+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Home made sausages</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ur914iM_GB4/Tq6jmI4z9lI/AAAAAAAALeE/ZxOAolQ2QRw/s1600/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ur914iM_GB4/Tq6jmI4z9lI/AAAAAAAALeE/ZxOAolQ2QRw/s640/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Viime viikolla vierailimme ystävien luona Savossa&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Last weekend we visited friends in Eastern Finland.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--kKR_RUS4wM/Tq6jmepF8vI/AAAAAAAALeU/4Mrl_9EQbII/s1600/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--kKR_RUS4wM/Tq6jmepF8vI/AAAAAAAALeU/4Mrl_9EQbII/s640/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Viikonlopun teemana oli makkaran teko.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vaikka makkaran tekeminen olikin aika yksinkeraista, saimme siihen kulumaan kuitenkin koko illan... Makkaramestarina olo oli hauska seurustelumuoto.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ensin jauhettiin silava (hallista), jauheliha oli ystäviemme yhteisnavetan luomukasvateista (suhteet; silava 1/4, jauheliha 3/4), sekoitettiin silava &amp;amp; jauheliha ja maustettiin taikina. Kokeilimme erilaisia mausteseoksia, yksi myös ohraryyneillä kevennettynä. Suosikkini oli Avanti! eli italialainen makkara; valkosipulia, fenkolin ja juustokuminan siemeniä, punaviiniä, chiliä, pippuria, suolaa, rosmariinia ja salviaa&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday evening we made sausages; pretty easy, but still took time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First we grinded pork fat (abt. 1/4), mixed it with ground ecological&amp;nbsp;beef from their own farm (abt. 3/4), mixed them and seasoned. My favorite was Italian sausage; garllic, fennel and Indian cumin, red wine, chili, pepper, salt fresh rosemary and thyme.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_cHVII6z9qQ/Tq6jnU0sHhI/AAAAAAAALec/evl9_d_av2I/s1600/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_cHVII6z9qQ/Tq6jnU0sHhI/AAAAAAAALec/evl9_d_av2I/s640/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makkarakoneen suulakkeeseen ujutettiin hallista ostetut liotetut suolet ja sitten alettiin ajamaan makkaraseosta&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;suoleen...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Then we stuffed the hog casings with the sausage mix...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NKWh_pnJIq0/Tq6jnki97nI/AAAAAAAALeo/pGz1ZZEzXf4/s1600/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NKWh_pnJIq0/Tq6jnki97nI/AAAAAAAALeo/pGz1ZZEzXf4/s640/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa3.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Makkarat keitettiin vielä lyhyesti ja niitä paistettiin 200 C uunissa 20 min. "Ken keitetyn paistaa, se makian maistaa..." ja kyllä omatekoiset makkarat maistuivatkin hyviltä (ja myös näyttivät mielestämme upeilta!). Makkaraa on nyt pakkasessa, mutta kun ne on syöty, täytynee investoida Kitchen Aidin makkarasuulakkeeseen... Seuraavan kerran uskallamme myös maustaa makkaraa vielä reippaammin&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We boiled the sausages shortly and roasted them for 20 min in 200 C oven. Our sausages looked and tasted great! We have sausages in the freezer now, bun when they are eated we probably have to invest in Kitchen Aid sausage stuffer... Next time we also can season the sausages even more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-8338377289199708289?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/8338377289199708289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=8338377289199708289&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/8338377289199708289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/8338377289199708289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/11/home-made-sausages.html' title='Home made sausages'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ur914iM_GB4/Tq6jmI4z9lI/AAAAAAAALeE/ZxOAolQ2QRw/s72-c/Anssi%2Bja%2BZarahin%2Bluona%2Blokakuu%2B2011-makkarantekoa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-3962149955507079963</id><published>2011-11-03T06:13:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T06:13:00.656+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='style'/><title type='text'>Pan Am</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/166984_188791141197093_127432237332984_427617_1718325907_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/166984_188791141197093_127432237332984_427617_1718325907_n.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frugalbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/1-Pan-AM-TV-Poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;En nykyisin seuraa kuin muutamaa sarjaa; Kova Laki on ikisuosikkejani ja katson joka jakson. Valitettavsti sarjan tekemien on lopetettu, meillä on kuitenkin veiklä ilmeisesti melko plajon jaksoja näyttämättä. Muut suosikkini Goodf Wife ja Mad Men (jota typerästi näytetään miltei yöllä, menee siis tallennukseen, katsomme sen viikonloppuisin) ovat tauolla.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nyt odottelen milloin syksyn uutuussarja &lt;a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/pan-am"&gt;Pan Am&lt;/a&gt; tulee Suomeen. Tyylilajiltaan taitaa mennä johonkin Mad Menin ja elokuvan Catch me if you can väliin (jonka musikaaliversion muuten näin Broadwaylla kesällä). Ainakaan pikaisella googlauksella ei mikään kanava vielä ilmoittanut ostaneensa sarjan esitysoikeuksia Suomeen, joten ainakin jonkin aikaa siis odotellaan. Traileri &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oVdLIvcNRE"&gt;täällä&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitä sarjoja seuraat? Odotatko jotain sarjaa, mikä ei vielä Suomessa näy?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't follow many TV series nowadays. Law and Order is my long time favorite (already sad to know it is coming to end soon), I watch every episode. Good Wife and Mad Men are other favorites, but not running in Finnish TV right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am waiting for &lt;a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/pan-am"&gt;Pan Am&lt;/a&gt; to start in Finland, but it might take some time until it will be seen in the Finnish TV.

Lähdin eilen lyhyelle happihyppelylle kesken työpäivän.

Ostosten lomassa on mukava istahtaa Sohon lukuisissa ravintoloissa ja baareissa.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;Previously Soho was known for galleries. Nowadays galleries have moved further away due to high rents and high end fashion houses have replaced them. The world famous brands can be found by cobblestone streets of Soho, less expensive fashion chain stores are on Brodway. There are numerous restaurants in Soho to eat, have a drink or cup of coffee and rest feet between shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eACUfTYt0X4/Tkk1Eqh8qOI/AAAAAAAAKMM/4YLSTAb5cuY/s1600/New%2BYork%2BCity%2B26.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eACUfTYt0X4/Tkk1Eqh8qOI/AAAAAAAAKMM/4YLSTAb5cuY/s640/New%2BYork%2BCity%2B26.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;link href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5CTuuli%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"&gt;&lt;/link&gt;&lt;title&gt;RW Summer 2011 Maloney &amp;amp; Porcelli&lt;/title&gt;&lt;style&gt;&lt;!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";}@page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:70.85pt 2.0cm 70.85pt 2.0cm; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;}div.Section1 {page:Section1;}--&gt;&lt;/style&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;i&gt;West Broadwaylta ja sen poikkikaduilta löytyy monta kivaa ravintolaa.

Ikean sivustoja selatessani huomasin, että Hemnes-kaapeista saisi sisustan mattavalkoiseksi  (ja halutessaan lisäksi ulkopuolen kiiltävän mustaksi) maalaamallaja listat lisäämällä saman tyyliset kuin ylläolevan kuvan kaapit. Tällaiset musta-valkoiset kaapit haluaisin unelmakotini keittiöön...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have studied interior design ,but for various reasons I haven't dropped my steadily paying job and made more unstable interior design my job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We purchased our home before my studies. We are still happy with the home, but I am still dreaming of a new home done with new ideas and using the knowledge I have with the studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I collect idea photos and moodboards in &lt;a href="http://www.pinterest.com/"&gt;Pinterest&lt;/a&gt; for my fantasy home, this collage I also have filed in Pinterest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I browsed Ikea's site and noted that with a tight budget Ikea's Hemnäs cupboards, paint and lists would create a similar look to the kitchen above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/90/FF565266F4F536609F3373C696FA806F.png&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1132338978551379717-3100341948772403916?l=lumolifestyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/feeds/3100341948772403916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1132338978551379717&amp;postID=3100341948772403916&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/3100341948772403916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1132338978551379717/posts/default/3100341948772403916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lumolifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/10/create-look-recreate-new-look-for-ikea.html' title='Create the look - recreate a new look for Ikea Hemnes'/><author><name>Lumo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13017668562075488897</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XgPmo-ZqZyw/TQto9QiYS1I/AAAAAAAAGSo/pQt0FC7advo/S220/DSCF1550.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MSDBmxzQjmU/TpbBuz_rk4I/AAAAAAAALU0/6mBlAfCfrWQ/s72-c/Kuvakaappaukset.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132338978551379717.post-6463332934428910556</id><published>2011-10-18T08:08:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-18T10:22:00.294+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animals'/><title type='text'>Can you hear me????</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bc3pnXhL3bk/TpvipYvSBeI/AAAAAAAALWo/QkzHADCeKGc/s1600/P1100596.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="481" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bc3pnXhL3bk/TpvipYvSBeI/AAAAAAAALWo/QkzHADCeKGc/s640/P1100596.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kesälampaat ovat edelleen appivanhempieni mailla.
