Potato pancakes in different ways with kefir and Ajika This seemingly simple dish can be prepared in various ways. I am a supporter of spicy, i.e. with pepper, salt, Adżyka and my wife sweet with sugar and cream. But making good potato pancakes is an art. You have to properly choose the proportions of potato flour, eggs and potatoes themselves, on which a lot depends. Ingredients Good quality potatoes, potato flour, eggs, onion, vegetable oil, spices, salt, pepper, possibly…

Tarangire National Park - out of boredom, people will go on a safari - my travels in Africa - Tanzania 3 months on the island of Zanzibar, sooner or later you want to "go ashore".

Usually it grows singly or in small groups on old tree logs, most often oak, sometimes also on living oak. Conifers are very…

Ellora, caves of many cultures and religions - my trip to India In the previous post about the caves of Eloor, I did not go into details, there are so many of these caves there that describing them in one post is almost a miracle, or it would be very sketchy. Eloora is a group of caves that were developed at different times by different religions. Due to the complexity of time and religion, the caves have been numbered. There are 34 of them in total. Caves from 13 to 29 are…
Once unwanted in the kitchen - today a rare edible mushroom - Cortinarius caperatus (Turek) I remember the times when this mushroom was called ''Turek'' in my regions and was harvested as a last resort. The baskets were always filled with porcini mushrooms and other tasty mushrooms, and the ''Turek'' was at the very end when nothing could be found in the forest anymore. I did not appreciate this mushroom, but in vinegar it was brilliant, always tasty and crispy crunch. Times…

It is a bird of prey, but not blue enough to fight other birds. more...…
Green woodpecker - from time to time he will also knock his head against a tree The repeated opinions about woodpeckers that they only deal with tapping the bark of trees are not entirely true. The green or gray-gray woodpecker obtains its food mainly from the ground. Ants are his delicacy, but he will not disdain small worms or earthworms. These photos show the learning process of how a young woodpecker is to get food. The parent feeds his baby, but also encourages him to…
Kandariya - sex drugs & rock and roll?- my journey through India Like an ordinary temple, not the most magnificent, because there are hundreds of such in India, not the most beautiful, but still phenomenal. Why this particular temple attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world every year? The phenomenon is in the sculptures made of sandstone. About 10% of them show sexual acts, erotic scenes from everyday life. In the first half of the 19th century,…
