Little shopping trip with mom and sister (:

Today, my mom, sister and me went on a little shopping trip together. At first, we wanted to get bags for school (mine is 4 years old and damaged) and my sister is going to another school after she completed the actor school : ) and she now needs a bag to carry all her heavy books again. And she needed new shoes.
But ofcourse, we wouldn't be us if we only bought that! First we went to the Makro (wholesale) because they had schoolbags in sale. Unfortunately these weren't what we were looking for. But we did bought some candy and gum for a year ! ^^

This is the gigantic hall of candy in the Makro, haha! Neede to make a picture of that (:

Lil picture of me, in front of our awesome jeep (: I use my hand to protect my eyes from the sun since I forgot my glasses... What I'm wearing; high dr martens, black tights, black shorts (suite so nice!) Dimmu Borgir tour shirt and studded belt. (+ daily accesorize).
Me at the parking spot again, with hot chocolat (the real one).. that was.. by the way, pretty disgusting. It tasted like water and not at choco at al.. After that we went to the center of the city, to shop a bit.Also bought a waffle with white chocolat and powdered sugar, because there was a funfair going on at the city : 3 There was also market, because it's friday. I'll show you what I bought.. (:




Faktz De Femme, Pour Femme, au de parfum. A drawing doll, digital fantasy drawing package (with digital help tools and characters), lace ribbon with sticky side, a total of 9 little pink camee pendants (to make jewelry), a cheap headphone, blouse, and a bag for school!


That's it for now, folks. Monday starts school again...

Recipe Apple pie à la Domaine de Lavergne

I made an apple pie the day before yesterday. And I said that I would post a recipe : ) (I guess I did.. anyway I planned to do) so here it is! I couldn't post it yesterday because I went to the Efteling : ) For those who don't know what that is, it's an amusement park (with rollercoasters and stuff) But also, the main thing what makes the Efteling different than a lot of other amusement parks in the Netherlands, is that it has a fairytale forest :3 It's actually more for the little ones, but I like it. Because it is the main thing of the Efteling and has always been the thing that made it different. And ofcourse, because when I was a kid, I went there with mom and dad (:
I'll post just two pictures of things from the Efteling and than I post the recipe for the apple pie!

Maybe not verry clear, but this is a (I saw, steampunk) 5-headed monster that is used in the new park show; Raveleijn. About an old medieval-like village who is in danger of the evil king and need to be saved by the 5 riders. I saw it for the first time (since its new) yesterday. And it was pretty good show! With horses, raven, owls, fire, water and spectacular music x)

This is the fairytale tree. He's also new in fairytale forest ;) it was already night here (it was open till 12 pm!) and this is just before the park was closed. He asks your name and age. And after that he asks you which tale you want to hear, and than he starts telling a little story. Its verry cute, cause you can see him speaking and it looks verry real!

Ok, now over to the Apple Pie à la Domaine de Lavergne.
(it's called like that, because it was originally made with honey and nuts from Domaine de Lavergne).

What you will need.

• one pack of mix for apple pie (or 300 grams selfrising flour)
• 175 grams of dairy butter
• 1 egg
• 6 big (sour) apples
• 3 ts (table-spoon) brown or white (caster)sugar.
• 2 teaspoon(!) cinnamon.
• 2 biscuits or dry cookies
• 5 (big) ts honey with nuts (if you cant get this, just mix honey with nuts you like)
• 3 ts raisins
• butter (to make the baking greasy)
• lemon (not necassary)

What to do.

1. First, peel the apples and cut them in little slices or cubes (how you like the most). To avoid them from turning brown, spray some lemon over it.
2. Pre-heaten the oven on 180 degrees.
   
3. Make the dough. Put the dough from the pack (or the flour) in a big bowl, with the butter, and the egg (3/4 of the egg) (first beaten !). Knead it together till its fully mixed.
4. Make the baking shape greasy with butter. And put 2/3 of the dough in the baking shape. Use the other 1/3 later for the crossed lines on top of the pie. (dont forget the sides).
5. On top of the dough, crumble the biscuits or cookies. Make it fill the whole shape. This is to avoid the pie gets too wet.
   
6. Mix the slices/cubes of apple with cinnamon and sugar and make the first layer of the pie.
7. On top of the first layer, you will put the honey with nuts. If its hard, warm it up a little bit so you can spread it gently. Now you can fill in the rest of it with apples.
8. Make little roles of the left dough and put it gently across each other on top. Use the 1/4 of the beaten egg and spray it over the top (so it wont burn).
9. The pie needs to be in the oven for about 70 minutes. After that you better let it cool down for an hour or so, before removing it from the baking shape.

I hope you could follow this a little bit since my English isn't that good! For questions, just response. And I hope you use the same measures as we doe (grams, degrees etc).

Fresh from the oven! Now let it cool down for an hour or so.

And here it is! Maybe it's not that mouth-wattering looking on the photo. But this was just made with my mobile phone ; )

Apple pie and excuses

I know it has been such a long time since I wrote my last blog! What's the excuse? Well nothing actually. I have vacation so.. I have plenty of time! I didn't even go on holiday so that's no excuse. Well I was at my boyfriends a lot of the time, and in weekends he was usually here. So I couldn't blog then (we had enough things to do). And I had some birthday partys of friends, that come with the "before-fun" as, shopping presents, getting dressed and doing makeup half of the day. But still, in between I had plenty of time. I just didn't had enough interesting things to write about! And I was lazy most of the time. So, here's a quick update of what had happened this vacation.
Yesterday was the birthday party of one of my best girl friends : ) In the morning I went to the fitness center with another good friend of me, than I did some swimming. And at 3 am me and that girl friend went to the birthday girl to help her with the party. She had a huge BBQ planned, with over 25 invited guests!
After helping with the salads and decoration it was time for makeup. I had my party outfit already on for that day. Shame I didn't make any pictures, so here's a little list of what I wore.
Black shorts, Alchemy Gothic top, sleeves with lace (for the evening), lace panty, high dr Martens, lace gloves, and necklaces/rings.
The friend with who I camed to the party had (unplanned!) almost the same outfit, with the black shorts, top and high shoes! A bit.. embarrasing. However it was totally different. She had pinstripe shorts, a plain panty, Demonia shoes, and a little jacket. And besides, we absolutely don't look like each other. But it was rather strange because we both rarely wear shorts.
However the party was nice, I met some new people, inlcuding the new girlfriend of my ex boyfriend. She is super friendly and matches him so much better than I ! haha. My boyfriend unfortunattely couldn't make it because of his work :c
A week ago I also had a party of another friend of me, which luckily my sweet boyfriend could join! : D It was also a verry nice party, and one of my girl friends got a bit too drunk and puked, lol! She was rather happy because she had never puked after drinking alcohol, and never puked since she was 7 ! Good job ;')

Today I woke up late, but I had this amasing dream! It included people from my elementary school and secondary school. We were going to HOGWARTS! to be new students. And there we played a game of 'Quiddich', well actually it was just baseball, but in my dreams it was called Quiddich. And I was super sportive and won! And I dont win anything with sports normally, so that was rather weird, but cool. Hogwarts was in Norway, btw (its in Scotland actually, but we were in Norway). And we went with school pass a lot of old (medieval like) Norse villages, with citizen who looked like they came straight out of World of Warcraft. I was dressed like an elf, and my friends were dressed like characters from Lord of the Rings (cosplay I guess?) and we ran through the beautifull Norse woods with the sun shining throughout the trees. And I felt so happy! After that we came by a cave, with an Azteken (Pirates of the Caribbean?) treasure! Which we couldn't touch, or the cave would collapse. It was such a nice and weird dream, involving my three most beloved movies, in one of my favorite countries, and a lot of old friends. After I woke up, I was thinking about it for an hour I guess, thats how awesome it was!

Hoever, after I told my whole dream to my mom (lol) we made an apple pie together! For my sisters return. She was on holiday with a friend for a week, and we decided to make an apple pie for her (and ourselves ofcourse ;)) It was a special apple pie. "Apple pie à la Domaine de Lavergne". It includes nuts and honey. I wanted to make a picture of it to post it here, but I forgot. And you may not open the oven before it's 'done'. I dont want to ruin it! So I'll post that later this evening, with the recipe ; ) ! So.. stay tuned??
