My daily walk is over. I was shaking my body and now I can sit in front of the computer. I have to take advantage of the last beautiful days because winter is coming.
@snezak in September 2021
Delicious raspberries. I also need cream and some ice cream. A small dessert. I can't wait. I cook mushroom soup and pancakes differently. Quick, easy and cheap. But I hate baking pancakes. Well, I don't like eating them either. Anyone else here hates baking pancakes...
This is a 101 year old shoemaking workshop in my city. Mr. Jože. who unfortunately died already, he repaired shoes for 70 years. Before him, the shoemaker was already his father. Now the workshop has been converted into a museum so that everyone can see what tools were sometimes used to repair and make shoes. Jože needed up to 14 hours to make new shoes and farmers sometimes paid him for shoes with a cow or an ox. I remember the smell of glue spreading around his workshop.
I am happy as a small child. Like a kid getting a new toy. My first coffee from a magic pot. I still don’t know what this coffee maker is called. And what country he comes from. Thanks for the cooking help.
I got a lot of questions about the miracle coffee pot. With your help, I now know that the pot is called the Moka pot. It was invented by the Italian Alfonso Bialetti in 1933. The pot consists of three parts that are disassembled. The lower part contains water. During combustion, the vapor pressure pushes water through the second part, which contains ground coffee, into the collecting part.
What does a horse do in the city center? Venetian horse This is the most famous monument in my city. The horse is based on a motif from the village situla. The image of the Venetian horse is one of the most prominent images from the Early Iron Age. To the Veneti, the horse meant an almost divine being. This means that we have a divine being in the middle of the city.
Slovenia, the clock is 7 in the morning and 10 degrees Celsius. Fresh morning. View of the morning awakening of the city. The fog is rising - this means that it will be a beautiful sunny day.
The Way of the Cross. These are 13 chapels showing us scenes from the fateful life of Christ. The Way of the Cross begins at the foot of the hill and ends at the Church of St. Pancras. Sometimes women knelt and walked all this long way. Another time I will describe each chapel separately.
I plant, water and care only for what I can eat. But I also have flowers. And those that do not need any care. Flowers made of colored nylon. and a little plastic.
I think it's cold water. My dog only got his feet wet. I saw glass in the river. Sometimes I get so angry at people who pollute everything around us. We really need to be careful where we take the dog for a swim.
After walking on a wet river, it is necessary to dry in the warm sun. I think they enjoy it.
These are last year's flowers. Very beautiful but do not tolerate direct sunlight. They dried very quickly, although I watered them regularly. That’s why there are no flowers on my patio this year.
What is your plan for this beautiful sunny day. Let your work be fun too. I just came from the pharmacy, my daughter has a sore throat. I hope the lozenges solve the problem quickly. What else helps with a sore throat?
I have planted 6 walnut trees. These in the bucket are last year's walnuts. This year is very bad. Maybe I can gain a pound or two.
I try to be original but sometimes worries take me somewhere away. I also have worries, even though you think I'm a windy woman. Bills started coming in, my son is a student. And I spend the whole day thinking about what is the thing that will attract you to read my post.
One big kiss to all my noisy friends. My day started better.Daughter's throat is less sore.Neighbor brought me a big bag of red peppers and I think I will cook ajvar.This means a lot of work and no time to think about bad things.
My heritage that passes from generation to generation. My little paradise with big trees. This one in the picture is a walnut. There are actually 6 walnuts. Otherwise I don’t know why 6 if there were 5 kids. These trees were planted by my father and his brothers 60 years ago when they were little boys. It is customary here for each child to plant their own tree. In the summer, I prefer to sit in the shade of these walnuts. #walnut #relaxation #nature #gardening
The grapes were also planted by my parents. I now prune the vines and of course pick the grapes. The answer is no ... if anyone is interested or making wine. We eat grapes fresh. But I'm just thinking about how to make raisins. I'm thinking ... I'm thinking. There are so many things in my head that I would like to do..try ..... # grapes #fruit #nature
See those bright green prickly round balls at the top of the tree? These are chestnuts. When they mature they will fall to the ground. I think it will be the end of the month. Then I will need gloves and separate the chestnuts from the thorns. I prefer roasted chestnuts. I just cut a little into the peel and bake it on an open fire.
I'm confused. If you haven't been vaccinated, can't you see a doctor? You pay for a quick test and can you go to the doctor? Some are not vaccinated precisely because of health complications. Some are vaccinated but still positive .... I'm really confused.
Our gardens are getting more and more empty, autumn is coming. There is some red cabbage left and low beans that are still blooming. Now is the time to plant winter onions, motovilca and black radish. Did I forget anything else? I forgot the winter salad and garlic.
The last warm days. Soon it will be necessary to wear long sleeves. No more sitting outside in the sun. But today is the sun and it is necessary to take advantage of the day. The day should have 50 hours.
It's afternoon, I was moving my legs. A view of my city from the hill where the church of St. Pancras stands. Pleasant 20 degrees Celsius. YES I'm hot, I'm sweating. I'm lacking in fitness ... or the sun is too hot. It doesn't matter I have water and I'll wash myself .... funny
Beef soup..my lunch.Beef soup is a kind of basis of Slovenian cuisine and I think everyone knows how to prepare it. It used to be customary for beef soup to be a mandatory part of Sunday lunch. But I prepare it whenever someone has a cold. The South goes through the veins say older people. If you want a good beef broth you have the meat cooked in cold water. But if you want good beef then you let the meat cook in warm water. In addition to the meat, put all the soup…
I bought lettuce seedlings. It's supposed to be a salad that makes heads. We'll see. It has to go into the ground today.I have already sown the winter salad. How will you spend Friday? Have fun and be with the ones you love.
I think there will be lunch. Lots of vegetables, little meat. Bought corn.Now I'm thinking "Why am I buying corn? I could plant it and have my own home" Again one idea and one plan more in my head. I will be planting corn next year. Why can't I plant meat ???? lol
Should I wait a little longer? Should I tear it up? I think it's already 1 meter long and very thick.
They're closing down the country, and there's a party going on everywhere in the city. I really don't understand.
People prepare firewood for heating. Here, wood heating is the cheapest choice. Many trees had to be felled due to the attack of podlubnik. Podlubniki They drill a small hole in the bark of the trees and then dig trenches under the bark. The collapse of the tree follows.Podlubnik is a small beetle.
Sometimes we buy something that turns out to be ineffective when we try it. I bought a hand cutter for cutting onions and I can tell you. It is very effective. Nicely cut onions into fine small pieces. Today for lunch beef steaks in onion sauce. Large bowl of salad and mashed potatoes.
Our grandmother's tomato. It's wonderful. It's as if the ripening season has just begun for it. My tomatoes are already dried, the leaves are turning brown. It’s interesting because I gave her the seedlings and we both planted them the same day. OLD MOTHERS JUST KNOW ... LOL
A red rose means love. And I give this rose to everyone. Let's love each other and the world will be more beautiful. I wish you good dreams. Did you know that all people dream? Or all mammals dream.Sometimes people believed that dreams are sent by god.Good night friends #noise.cash
This year is worse weather for fruit.But I have some kiwis. And I hope for another kilo of chestnuts and a few apples. That's all, the other fruit failed this year. Figs also dry out and fall to the ground. But despite everything, I am happy with the vegetables.My effort has paid off.The second year will be a year for fruit.I hope you have managed to grow a lot of fruit.
Have you ever heard that hunters and fishermen always exaggerate how much fish they have caught? Well, I also exaggerated how big or long my pumpkin is. I tore it up and measured it today. I'm a little disappointed. It's 72 inches long. Now I have to think about what to do with it.
He fell. My chestnut shed its first fruit. Don't be afraid. Hold it by the spines and then with the whole palm, nothing stings. I think it's possible to catch a hedgehog that way too. I haven't tried it yet. My hedgehog hasn't matured yet. But I am glad to be able to share these photos with you.
Sometimes we exaggerate in life. We want too much and end up losing. This is my woody pumpkin. I wasn’t happy with the little one and in the end I got nothing. I’m a little disappointed but we learn from mistakes. Too is just a new lesson in my life. Let's move on .... upright.
In the morning a friend tells me "I dreamed of you and you washed the car" Now I've been wondering for two hours. What kind of car did I wash? What worries me the most is how I was dressed. I hope I wasn't in a swimsuit. I can catch a cold, it's cold outside. Good morning friends.
I ended up investing in string beans. I got 2.5 liters of pickled beans from a kilo of string beans. I only put it in brine. Maybe next time I put it in vinegar. That was enough for today. I will now rest and read your articles.
Have you ever experienced that feeling that someone is watching you. You go for a walk and you feel like someone is watching you. Then you get to the stone pillar and you see that someone is really watching you from the pillar. When I take another good look I see my daughter sitting on a pillar.
I always photograph only what we can eat. Today to change a few flowers. These are the flowers of an elderly lady who is well over 80 years old. She still takes care of her garden and her flowers on her own. And her health also serves her well. Grandma, I want you to stay the way you are. We love you.
Our grandmother says “today the reapers will eat” This food was carried by the housewives to the meadow where the reapers mowed the grass.Potatoes in zevnica (potatoes with sauerkraut) is a simple farm food. Put sliced peeled potatoes in a pot, add sauerkraut, garlic and a little water on top. And we cook. When it is cooked, drain the water and cover everything with fritters, bacon ... you can also add some end of a good home-made sausage.
Here is a continuation of my historical story. In addition to food, the housewives also had to take drinks to the workers in the field. And they carried the drinks in jugs. My jug also has a nozzle for drinking. only water was given to this pitcher. If you worked on a large farm, wine flowed from the pitcher.
Today I am researching for my soul.Old camera, about year of manufacture 1900-1910. It was made by the German company Schneider. It has a Compur lens. It means a self-timer. This is the most interesting thing I read today. See when they used the word self ... lol. I found a video showing how this camera is used. And I tried it ... and it works. I'm happy. Now I need advice on where to find a movie for the camera to take a selfie
It's hard to capture such beautiful moments with a camera. But I managed and I have to share it with you right away. After a busy 8 hour workday, everyone is very, very tired.
Time for self-testing. The set includes cotton swabs. Test devices, extraction tubes with buffer and instructions for use. The instructions should be read 3 times first and then tested.
I was able to read the instructions correctly. Here is the test result. Negative and that means I can go get vaccinated.
Look what I found. An old pen that still works. There are still pencil fillers in it. The pen was made in Chicago around 1917. And that other thing in the picture. You know what that is? It's a pocket microscope. It took me quite some time to find a video with instructions for use. So old, so exciting and so working. Today is really useful.
Today is the time to take the chokeberry. The chokeberry was washed, ground and a mixture of half a piece of water. It was added sweet and lemon juice. Do not overwhelm drinking aronium juice. And the daily is allowed. You knew that the ancient Indians planted chokeberry and knew its health properties.
Today, my curious head is exploring this old lighter in the picture. The lighter is made in France by S.T. Dupont. Les Fils de S.T. Dupont (sons of S.T. Dupont). I haven't been able to find the year of manufacture yet. But I have the serial number of the lighter and that will help me. The lighter is almost new and I have to refill it with gasoline and test if it works. Isn't that exciting? Look at home, search basements and attics. Exploration begins.
What are you doing my friends. I think it's time to consume green tomatoes.Red peppers, onions, garlic let's go to work happily. Or with tears in my eyes. Onions always make me cry.
That's it.3 kilos of green tomatoes, 1 kilo of onions, 1 kilo of red peppers, salt, sugar oil and vinegar, I ground them all together and now I'm cooking. I think 1 hour will be enough. In the end I will add more garlic and mustard, It was not easy because my grinding machine broke down. But with good will he is able to move mountains.
My advice, A month ago a dream in vinegar put a whole tomato. Do not do this, It is not tasty.I am here for you to try things. In a word — it’s not edible,

I’m here but I’m busy browsing the internet. I'm looking for an answer to this picture. What is it? The attachment says Friesach. It is a castle town in Carinthia, Austria. I have already found out. It also says Rennen club and the year 1897. There is a cyclist on the badge. So I assume that in 1897 there was a cycling race around Austria. And our great-grandfather won 2nd place. The internet will help me unravel these secrets. Exciting, I enjoy it. I hope you enjoy it too.
I hope you miss me. I don't have to worry about being here somewhere. I'm cleaning the house. Do you generally clean up at the weekend?
Let's get some rest. I think a lot of people are a little nervous right now. Don't be. Everything will be fine.
I am happy to be able to share my winter food with you. Yesterday I wrote what I do and how. Today the mixture cooled down and I filled the jars. From 5 kilograms (tomatoes, onions and peppers) I got about 5 liters of spread. It is very tasty. Today my dinner will be a piece of bread and some of this spread. Healthier than mayonnaise. This spread is also great for soaking french fries.
I’m wearing pajamas and that means it’s time for bed. I also wish you good night and beautiful dreams.
Look at this giant. I wanted to go to the little chapel but the path was blocked by these pumpkins. I wonder what the farmer will do with these big pumpkins. Maybe he uses them for animal feed. This is most likely. Anyway — I will leave the pumpkins where they are and let them serve their purpose. But I would still have one little one to carve it out ... Halloween is coming.
This is rhubarb. I will make smoothies, I will add some more ginger and raspberries.I think they will be blackberries. They say the one with the red stems is more delicious. I don’t know this because I only have this and I haven’t tried others yet. Rhubarb is a very undemanding plant and can be enjoyed almost all year round. Rhubarb is attributed with almost magical healing powers. But too much raw rhubarb can cause digestive problems.
Saturday lunch. Meat, peppers, onions and spices. Quickly baked and very tasty. Besides ajvar, mustard and for me also salad. The fun can begin.
This is how the walls of my city are decorated. We don't know if there really were gates and stairs here. But the rest of the wall is a couple of hundred years old. I'm lucky to live inside this wall. It means the old part of the city.
Look at the fog rising over my city. There on the hill hidden under the fog is the church of St. Pancras about which I have already written. We don't see anything now, and in half an hour the trees, the hill and the church will appear. How amazing nature is.
Promise is a promise. This is what the stairs and walls look like in all their daily beauty. Yesterday in night lighting, today daylight. These stairs lead you to the medieval wall, which is the most beautifully preserved wall in Slovenia. The wall was used to defend against shower attacks. In front of the walls were ditches filled with water. It was only when the Turkish siege was over that buildings began to be built outside the city walls as well. I love, I enjoy I hope…
I'm a big cat. I am already 7 months old. I will be even older next year. Draw a line and date next to it on the wall.
We are all looking for her. She sleeps nicely on a chair .Careless cat life. Well I found a cat and now a cappuccino and then happy to work. A sheet of paper and a pencil are already waiting for me to write a plan for today. New day -new challenges.
My city photographed from the same hill now and 90 years ago. It's a big change. There used to be fewer buildings and a lot more arable land. In these fields, gardens, food was once grown for our hospital. The hospital has been in our place since 1419. At that time, it was established mainly for the care of poor and impoverished citizens. The community of citizens had control over the hospital.
I had to take a break and write this to you. My son comes into the kitchen and says "Mom, what are you doing, it smells like a hospital kitchen" And now I wonder if this is good? Maybe I cook as healthy as in a hospital kitchen? I think it lacks fat, salt ..... I prepare sataraš onions, peppers and tomatoes. When it is certain, I will freeze it. I love sataraš, I only give eggs and the meal is ready.
Today to change the view from above. I stand at the top of the stairs of our medieval wall. I think about how much work is put into building the wall. A few hundred years ago, the wall was built only by human hands. I still haven't figured out what's wrong with the walled hole in the bottom of the stairs. (I wrote about this in my older post) #history
In the morning I introduced you to the back of the Rotenturen mansion-city walls. Here is the front. This is the Rotenturn mansion. The manor is named after two Rottenberg brothers who owned the manor in 1542. Today, the mansion is the municipal seat of my place. This yard is used for various cultural events. The fountain is also well visited. Naughty children sometimes bathe in it.
Afternoon calorie consumption. We start the journey on the old railway bridge. The train has not run through my city for 75 years. But the bridge remained. The path continues along the forest path, climbing up the root soil, Make sure the roots are slippery. Half way is behind us, which means we have been walking for 15 minutes. Now we go past the meadow, greet the cows and horses. And we got to the top. We will rest a bit on the bench and admire my beautiful city. We made…
Interesting in this photo is how the sun’s rays find their way through the clouds. The sun is a star. The sun is the closest star to the earth, so it presses all other stars with its light. That is why we do not see other stars during the day. The sun brings us day and the sun is life. I'm thinking about what life would be like without the sun, I'm just thinking
We have several well-kept forest paths in my city. This means that they are marked. To make the walks even more interesting and to attract children, there are various mind games and interesting explanations about animals and plants along the way. During the walk you can quench your thirst with a forest spring. People pour this water into bottles and take it home. It is tastier than the one that runs through the pipes.
Yesterday I introduced you to the interior of the Rotenturn mansion. Today I photographed the outer main part of the manor and the mighty arched entrance. Above the entrance is still today the coat of arms of the Counts Kulmer, who owned the manor in 1751. Today, a man and a woman enter through this entrance. And when they come out they are husband and wife. Here is the wedding hall. In the second picture is a beautifully decorated wall of the mansion, which lacks a little…
I haven't woken up well yet. I slept badly. I was thinking about various things. Also about our government finally regulating the taxation of cryptocurrencies. Individuals can choose between taxation of 10 percent of the realized amount or 25 percent of the generated profit. The new taxation of cryptocurrencies would also exempt incomes of up to € 15,000 per year.
Elon Musk wrote on Twitter that the car manufacturer Tesla is looking for a new location for the factory. Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa invited Elon Musk to open a new factory in Slovenia. Jansa provided Musk with a list of the safest countries in the world, in which Slovenia ranks fifth. I am considering applying for a job.
I got an unexpected visit. A little prickly thing came looking for food. He's so scared. I'm thinking what to do? Should I leave him alone or take him to the woods. Maybe I should give him food. I really have no experience with hedgehogs.
My daughter is not afraid of anything. In her hand she holds the blind man she rescued from the cat's claws. The blind man is not poisonous and is not a snake as people mistakenly think. The blind man is a lizard that has stunted legs. They feed on insects, spiders, earthworms and snails. Very useful animals in our garden.
When you wake up in the morning tired. I’m tired, I overworked yesterday. Sometimes I want to finish some things right away. I planted in the garden, stacked firewood, mowed the grass. When I got home I cleaned almost the whole house. But I slept like a small child.
Every path leads somewhere. This path takes you above the water. But never jump into the water if you’re not sure about its depth. Lake Velenje a few days ago. I like this place because of the evening lighting. Lake Velenje was formed as a result of lignite mining. Where there are lakes today, there were several rural settlements that have partially or completely disappeared under water. Swimming in the lake is at your own risk.
I came back and I will now read your posts. It’s Saturday and you all enjoyed it somewhere. I enjoyed it too. I did what I love to do. I picked green tomatoes and cleaned the garden. Now I sliced the green tomatoes, red peppers, onions and red cabbage. I let it all drain. In the morning I will put this in a boiling mixture of vinegar, salt and sugar. In the morning I announce the further procedure ... a sour mixed salad will be formed. But I will continue tomorrow.
I planted a khaki tree last year. AND this year there is only one fruit on it. He fell to the ground and I brought him home. A little fragrant circle that made me so happy. It smells like vanilla. I drink coffee and then a salad ... yes, a working Sunday for me.
Finished with a salad. I thought it would take a total of 10 minutes, but it dragged on for 2 hours. I boiled a mixture of vinegar, water, pepper, salt and sugar. I poured all the vegetables I sliced yesterday into the boiling mixture. And I filled it all into glass jars. I photographed the final product for you my noisy friends. It looks wonderful, I hope it will be delicious too.
Clean simply and quickly made. Soft, fresh, fragrant and delicious. Flour, yeast, salt, sugar, yogurt and a little oil. Mix and let rest. Make pickles from the dough and bake in the oven for 10 minutes and they are baked.I almost forgot to take photos.
I try to take advantage of every beautiful day that is left before winter comes. Today to change the walk on the road. Talk to you later ... I have unfinished work ahead of me. I hope you had a nice day too.
In my place, people are engaged in agriculture. Just look at this flock of sheep, young sheep jumping merrily among them. Farmers are happy with their herd of animals. I am happy because I can watch these beautiful animals grazing. My attention is always drawn to pigs. They are not ordinary pigs, but black pigs and multicolored pigs. The Krško field pig is the only preserved Slovenian autochthonous pig breed. They say their meat is tastier. Who would know. I just enjoy…
If the slowest sees his goal, he will reach it faster than the fastest, who runs headlong. Gotthard E. Lessing
Next to the Church of the Holy. Elizabeth (which I have already introduced to you in old posts) stands the Hospital Church of the Holy Spirit, which has an interesting, slate-covered roof that reminds me of stone roofs as we can see in the Karst. The hospital church was erected by l. 1428 as a hospital chapel associated with the town almshouse. On the left in the photo you can see part of the poor house. In the last photo there is still a part of the preserved city walls.
I had to photograph these two advertising posters today. In the first photo is my place today and in the second photo is my place in 1681. You see the city walls. The whole city center was surrounded by a stone wall. I have already written about the remains of this wall in previous posts. It is so exciting.
The sun woke me up. Another beautiful day. It will be necessary to make the most of it. I plan to work in the garden and I have to finish mowing the grass. There is still fine work to be done with the mower. This means next to the fence, around the trees and around the pond. I think this is the last lawn mowing this year. But the leaves that autumn throws out of the trees will still be plentiful. 🍂🍁We will take a rake and a broom instead of a mower.🧹🍂🍁
How deceptive the weather is. Morning sun, now rain. The rain surprised me right in the middle of the walk, Suddenly the sun disappeared behind the clouds. Yeah I got a little wet, but I’m home now. So I have to change my plans for today ... the garden and the grass are falling apart. When bad weather catches up in my valley it is hard to move elsewhere🌧⛈☁️
I am so sad today. A 20-year-old girl who was recently vaccinated with the Jannsen vector vaccine died. My country has banned vaccination with Jannen and Astrazene vaccines until further notice. I am thinking about what is right and what is wrong. How do you think about that? I would be happy for your opinions.
Good morning. Another rainy day. I am writing a plan for today.🌧🌧 awakening coffee noise breakfast trade work lunch work I think it's going to be exciting ... I just think🧐🤓
Pictured is another of my collector’s pieces. Tobacco pipe.. We simply call it pipe. Smoking and tobacco were in America much earlier than in Europe. In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on one of the Bahamas and the locals gave him large dried leaves. Columbus wrote in the logbook that the natives there overcome fatigue with a smoking pipe, which they light and inhale smoke from. The first to bring tobacco to Europe was Jean Nicot .... Nicotine was named after the tobacco…
You've heard it before. that there are hotels for insects. Well we have it in my place.🐞🐝🦋🦗🦟 Various insects create a perfect home here. The hotel should be in the garden in a sunny and quiet place and filled with natural elements such as bark, cones and leaves. A hotel prepared in this way will soon attract useful tenants (insects), most often bees, ladybirds and caterpillars. I learn something new every day.🐞🐝🦋🦗🦟
