Ginger cookies with coconut & tutti frutti

Another great day. Altough the it isn't as hot as it was, it's just lovely to be outside. Picture me laying in the grass drinking mint lemonade and listening music. In bikini of course (: You get the idea (: Relaxing relaxing relaxing. I hope you enjoyed your days as much as I did!

Boefje is also enjoying the sun

But my weekends, yeah I had three days weekend, are never complete without baking something sweet. Today I was in the mood for cookies. There was still ginger in the fridge, I love that ingredient. It had its own special taste, something that makes you instantly aware of what's in the cookies. Or brownies. Or cupcakes. I just love it. Anyway, I'll give you a little how-to. It's easy!

You need:

• 250 gr soft butter
• 165 sugar
• 1 egg yolk, slightly stirred
• 50 gr ginger, cut frail
• 2 tablespoons ginger syrup, this is in the same glass jar
• 250 gr flour
• small touch of salt
• 50 gr tutti frutti (I used prunes and apricots)
• 90 gr grated coconut

1. Stir the butter and sugar airy and add the egg yolk.
Now is also the time to add the ginger syrup.

2. Sieve the flour and the salt trough the butter/sugar.

3. Cut the ginger and tutti frutti. Add the fruit to the batter and mix it all.

4. Mix also the grated coconut trough the batter.

5. Preheat the over on 190 °C and cover the baking plates with baking paper.

Then make small ball of the batter and press them together, as you see bove.

I used two plates. Oh and of course you should bake them, approximately 15 minutes.

The result, yummy for tea time!

Poker & Pancakes

Hi everyone,

How are you doing? Did you also had a good weekend?
For me, the weekend was great. Of course I first became champions with my volleybal-team. Click here for the picture and post about that Saturday. After spending some time with my teammates in the Mac, I went home, learnt a bit for my historytest and changed my clothes. Then I went to Haarlem with Laura to eat something in the centre. We had a lovely time sitting in the sun besides the channels.

Yeahh, that's me sitting in the sun (:

We drank some kind of soft drink, tasting like bubble gum, so delicious!
After forgetting the time, we were a little bit late for meeting the boys, but I don't think they  did really mind hahaha. We played poker and I won (: Hahhaa, I didn't really understand the game, so it was funny xd.

So that was my Saturday. And yesterday I had a tournament, which we totally lost xd. But we had a great time together and it wasn't that bad. In the evening I made a lovely dessert with pancakes and warm cherries. See here the result:

Ooohh, it even looks delicious <3

It's so simple, you only have to bake some pancakes and heat the cherries (from a tin or something). Serve it out with icecream and powdered sugar. Doesn't it sound (and look!) delicous? It's so easy, and so yummy!

And now I really should learn a bit more for my historytest...

Lots of love, Janna

Music running trough my head

Hey you!

I just had all these free periods today again.

And while sunbathing, we listened a lot of music.

And now this song is running trough my head all day long:

Which is your best relaxing-in-the-sun music?

Sunny springday

Bonjour!

It's really a perfect day. I'm writing this while sitting in the garden. I wish I could sit here forever. It's such a pity that I have a test geography tomorrow. 

Sooo, let me tell you how my day was. I was kinda happy that I woudl go to school again and see all my friends. And I have this glittery bodylotion of Sephora. It smells like coconut. To get totally in the mood (: I really love it.

At school it was a bit boring. All the teachers were a bit grumpy and none of them wanted to go outisede with us... But of course the breaks were totally fun. We could sit on the grass. Or lay ;P 

I was wearing a flowery jacket (wich was waaay too warm x). So I am totally ready for summer. Something you cannot see in this picture is that I was wearing a pink tee, but also that was a bit too warm hahaha, so at home I put on a white top. 

Did you also have such a nice and warm springday?
