I'm not into politics anymore. Yet it was fun to take this test and see the changes in my views. A year or two ago if you asked me I was an ultra-right libertarian. Lots of things have passed since that time.

I still agree that market forces should be strong. There should be a wide range of products and services for those who can afford them. Yet I also believe in a strong social government too so that sitizens can rely on it.

What about the latter one I still think that since you do not choose in which country you get born you don't have to be proud of it by default. Yet it is always good to know that you live in a strong country that both has a voice on the international arena and is also supportive when it comes to its citizens. Such country deserves respect and pride.

Museums and theaters ought to be sponsored by government. Those are our history and should be treated accordingly. Abstract art is included.

One's sexual life should be private. Women should have a right to decide whether or not they'd like to have children or not means abortions must be legal. And legal here means Companies who perform the such operations have to provide qualified assisatance by all means. I am also for homosexual marriage including adoption of children. If a loving couple which has enough money and responsibility to upbring a child then I think the kid will be ok in such a familty then without a family at all.

Finally what about religion. I have some views on my own and think that each person should decide whether or not s/he would like to embrace some religion or not without school or any other organizations' help to make a 'right' choice.

This week I had a conversation with my hubbie: why I asked there are so many synthetic products that taste like real ones but no synthetic products that have some new synthetic taste that does not resemble anything natural.

Presently one can hardly find products with no taste boosters or flavours. There are dozens of them in juices, beer, candies, pizza etc etc etc. And producers seem to be extremely proud to state smth that reads like 'our synthetic flavour resembles real flavour the best'.

So I wondered if everything has flavours anyway why continue trying to make cherry or tangerine-like flavours instead of developing some tasty yet innatural flavour? Like Coke/Pepsi did long ago.

This is my first recipe ever. Usually it is my husband who cooks wonderful things while my cookery is usually half-dead. Yet here's something I made fine and would like to share a recipe with you. Also sorry no related pic at this time: today I ate the last bit of what have left of my cooking.

We'll need:


First boil rice for um.. half-hour perhaps.. until it's ready. DON't add salt! Then Add seafood. I usually buy a frozen pack of various bits of seafood like shellfish, squids, mussels etc all in one. Then add a full can of tomato paste. I said no salt because tomato paste is usually quite salty. After 5-10 min add choped carrots and herbs. Boil for 20 more minutes. The main thing is not to overboil the whole thing or seafood will become too hard and tasteless. Forgot to mention: you should boil rice in such amount of water that having mixed with tomato paste will make quite a thick and creamy broth.

That's all for now and btw I'm back to this blog again!

There were some really good times and some that are not. Here is the promised story about my marriage. As you saw my picture in the previous post you probably guessed this wasn't a usual traditional rings and horrible white dress thing. So.. having drunk some strawberry wine in the morning me and my husband-to-be went to meet our friend who had to accompany us.

I'm not dead! Actually I got married last week.
