Cookies! ... or something like that

On Friday two German friends of mine and me baked German Christmas Cookies. :D Unfortunately I ate nearly all of them, so I decided to make some new ones - just one batch of really easy and really cheap cookies (or something that is kinda like a cookie, but more like merengue). Anyway, have the recipe:

Kokos-Busserl

2 eggwhites
30g icing sugar
30g sugar (you can also replace the icing sugar with normal sugar)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice (or a few drops of lemon aroma)
100g grated coconut (I have no idea if this is the right expression, sorry)

Beat the eggwhite until it's stiff, slowly add the sguar and the coconut, then the juice/aroma. Form little ball-like shapes on a baking sheet using a teaspoon and bake them for 15 minutes (180°C). Done!

Mine didn't turn out that good today, but they are still eatable and yummy. YAY!

Just a quick note:

I have a Trojan/Virus thing on my computer and I can barely do anything. Trying to find out what exactly is wrong and erase that thing from my harddrive, but I actually know shit about this stuff.

So, I will probably not be able to be in touch till I get to uni tomorrow.

Am extremely sad and angry (mainly at myself for downloading that bastard).

They also talk of our being guilty of injustice, and their being the victims of an injustifiable war. Brandy, and Tom got increasingly close-mouthed and sour. Although a certain sense of tripartite society survived down to Christian times, the three classes described in the Eddic poem "Rigdthula" bear little resemblance to Dumezil's three. It is often argued, and still oftener thought, that none but bad men would desire to weaken these salutary beliefs; and there can be nothing wrong, it is thought, in restraining bad men, and prohibiting what only such men would wish to practice. At its nearest point the wall was little more than one league from the City, and that was south-eastward. When he saw Jack Hare jump towards the fire, and the Practical Man brandishing the toasting-fork, Sir Isaac grabbed the strings of gravitational force that bound Jack to his destiny and PULLED--- That's a seventy-four gun privateer, besides. To honour a group of British nobles, treacherously slain at a conference by Hengist's guards, Aurelius decides to erect a great monument near Amesbury. That being so, he did not chortle when he went upstairs. Let stand. This ensures that when the garbage collector runs, it has complete access to the memory in the heap and can perform its tasks safely without the threat of being preempted by another thread. And then you may begin to laugh. The data are stored in Column 1 and renamed "Age." Pull your hand back. I don't remember that any secrets were revealed to me, nor do I remember any avid curiosity on my part to learn something I wasn't supposed to--perhaps I was too young to know what to listen for. You don't remember how awful it is being normal. Highlight the desired state tax table and press Enter. Abraham had now reached a ripe old age, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. This doesn't alter either string, any more than 2+3 alters either 2 or 3. And I will say firmly that it is the author who says, "One does feel," who is really an egoist; and the author who says, "I believe," who is not an egoist. She hadn't liked Earth. AH, THE OLD DAYS, said Death. Well then, your bond: and let me see, - but hear you, me thought you said, you neither lend nor borrow upon advantage. The emotion in her voice betrayed a depth of distress he could feel, in spite of the fact that they had met only moments before and that he knew nothing of her beyond the little that was obvious to see. But sometimes of an evening, before we went to cards, he would read something aloud out of the 'Elegant Extracts' - very entertaining. Nobby looked at the peeling paint, the little grime-encrusted window, the rickety door. At the core of this moral certitude was a shared hatred of Hitler and Hitlerism. It is often difficult for the speech and language therapist to encourage the patient with a poor communication prognosis to adjust their expectations of therapy.

A friend of mine celebrates his birthday on Tuesday and I have been trying to think of a cake that I could make for him. Nothing too boring and nothing too complicated (seeing as I don't have much money and stuff for baking is bloody expensive here!). I've been going through my late grandfather's little recipe-book that he wrote during WWII, but couldn't decide on anything. Any ideas?

There is this huge rabbit siting in the yard here. I can see it from my window. It's eating something, looking totally cute with his white tail-thingy, and doesn't even mind the awful weather.

Today my class got together to make Pulla! SO YUMMY! Oh my God, they are so tasty! We made four different kinds of Pulla and my favourites are Korvapuustit (cinnamon-roll Pullas) and Mustikkapullat (with blueberries). The only problem was that my lips, tongue and teeth were blue after I ate them. xP
