Summer food /Ljetna hrana

Some people can't eat when the temperatures are really high. I don't have that problem. This Summer I've been really into home made dips.  I've developed a few flavours that I really like, I'm not sure if anyone does it quite the same way. Usually I make them from green paprika and carrots (with the addition of spices, olive oil and garlic), but sometimes I add a bit of tomato as well. I use this dips with just about anything, not just salads (as you can see). Almost every day I use my blender to make a dip of some kind. What do you like to prepare during the Summer?

Neki ljudi ne mogu jesti kada su temperature visoke, ali ja osobno nemam taj problem. Ovo ljeto se zabavljam s domaćim umacima (ne onim kuhanim već sirovim) i razvila sam par okusa koji mi se sviđaju. Nisam sigurna radi li to netko na isti način, ali ja obično napravim umak od zelene paprike i mrkve (uz dodatak maslinovoga ulja , začina i češnjaka), a ponekad dodam i rajčicu. Koristim ove umake s svačim nečim, ne samo s salatama (kao što možete vidjeti). Skoro svaki dan palim blender da napravim nekakav umak. Što vi volite pripremati ljeti?

      everyone loves a good barbecue:) and it's the perfect thing to do now that we spend more time in the open. I love eating outdoors.

    Ja po ovim vrućinama udaram samo po salatama i paštama, a najrađe ne bi ni to jela koliko mi sparina smeta. Ne mogu dočekati jesen :)

      I'm really into light dishes in summer! But I wouldn't mind to taste your mini "pizzas", Ivana! I'm for sure one of those people you can't eat warm meals when it gets hotter. :-DD Yummy, anyway!!!!!

    Mami me ovo sve s tvog stola, ali godinama se već ljeti ne mogu natjerati na ništa drugo osim na salate, tijesto pod uvjetom da je s nečim laganim, a meso može proći samo kuhano, i to nikako ne crveno. Ali zato mogu udarati po sladoledu. :D

    Vidim već da bi mi se svideo, zanimljiva mešavima ukusa :) Ja ne mogu da smislim hranu leti, samo bih jela lubenice i slično, a što se nečeg konkretnijeg tiče, omiljene su mi pasta salate i generalno nešto što ne mora de prži i peče jer mi u suprotnom baš teško padne hrana :/

    I don't like to eat alone more than to eat in summer. Salads, guacamole, cream soups, these kind of dips you made. Summer is the ice cream pancakes season. :)

    Meni zbog vrucine manjka apetita po danu ali zato kada sunce zadje, guza mi odmah viri iz frizidera! Volim svjezu i laganiju hranu ljeti iako, jedem ja sta god, nisam bas neki izbirljiv tip! Umake jako volim jesti uz sve tako da vjerujem da su ovi tvoji mljac!

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
