I just hope, that this is thrue about me

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you’ve been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don’t go your way, you know they’ll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you’re an open person. With you, what you see is what you get… and people love that!

My and my boyfriend do not like to buy bread from the shop, because it is full of chemicals. And most of all, they do not sell real graham bread. So here it is how we make it.

Firstly we put 1kg of flower, one teaspoon of salt, one spoon of olive oil and about 100 grams of sunflower seeds into one bowl. On the picture there is garlic too.

Than we cook some potatoes.

In the meanwhile we put the yeast (here it is sold in for of a about 42 g cube and it looks like butter, so it is not dried) into about 200 ml of warm (!!!) milk and a spoon of sugar. The sugar gives energy to the yeast so it can rise. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. You can aslo use two cubes, so the bread rises more.

When the potatoes are cooked, than you grate them into the bowl.

Than the yeast and now is the time, when you get dirty. You should mix it all together and when it is too dry, add some warm water into it. You should mix it until the bread do not stick to your hands. The bread should be not too wet, so it holds the form you give to it, but also should be not too dry, so it can rise.

When you made it, form a loaf. We make round loafs of bread and leave it for an hour to rise. We started to do that in our own way. We let the bread rise on the plate with baking paper, so we do not have to replace the bread and it will not fall down when we replace the bread from the bowl to the plate. The place where it should rise is a dark place, which is not too cold. Our oven has not window, so we place it there and when one hour is over (sometimes an hour is too much and the bread will fall, so you have to control it), this is the rising time, we just start it and bake it for one hour.

This is how our real graham bread looks like.

Than the next day we can eat fresh bread for breakfast.

I try to enjoy my holidays, but somehow I feel depressed. It is because of the vision, that all three months I will spend in front of my pc and in the same room… Trough the summer it is too hot, or it rains and it is not the perfect weather for long walks. I even think, that those walks would not make me feel better. But it really goes on my nerves the everyday stereotype. I’m so tired… I work only few hours a day, but I do not know how people can stand to work about 8 hours every day. But maybe I just have a too stereotype work… No challenges, no change… I do not have to work every day, I have a monthly limit which I should do. But then I work for our site – I translate some articles and it really sucks out of my many energy… and I translate every day an article.

Also I feel, that I should have more exercise… When I was younger, it was better. We went out, played games, even if we were older we played with smaller children, we chased each other, went on longer walks. Now I am with my boyfriend. We have his and his brother´s flat and we sit together in it. I stare into my pc and he in his own. And when I do not have my pc, we stare at some movie in his pc. And the worst is, that I got use to it.

Somehow I miss the school… We are not every day in the same time at school, I walk into the school and home, and again into the school and than to Jan. But maybe going to school would be not good in such hot weather. Maybe I just still have the end-school crisis I had it last year too, but I think it did not last for so long as now…

Maybe it is so strong, because next year, I hope, that me and Jan will move to our own flat. Im afraid, that I will have such stereotype every day. Of course I will go to the school, and I will cook and I (hope?) will have the same work… I just hope, that Jan will help me and he will not work and play all day long. And of course bicycling. I do not want to find my self looking like my parents. I, as my mum, working and than expected to cook and clean and Jan as my father, sitting around and doing mostly nothing. Of course Jan do not want to have clean flat as my father, but I want to have clean around me, because if I have too much dust in the room, I start to sneeze.
