NordenBladet – Saturday morning I drove to Tartu with Ivanka Shoshana and Allan, in order to fetch the last articles (ceramics, paintings) from the Estonian National Museum that had remained there from my exhibition in ERM and that didn’t make it to the luggage room of the car last time. After that we met with Marie and Raido and first of all went to Kebab Pizza, located in Narva Road 113 (it is owned by their neighbour, therefore it is probably not suitable for me to say that this place looked terrrrible, icccc :D). Nevertheless, the pizzas were large, inexpensive, and they tasted very good.
Stomachs full, we drove to Kvartal shopping centre and went to V SPA on the fourth floor (Riia Road 2, Tartu), where we took the Deluxe family ticket (64 EUR), including the water world with four saunas and a sports room, the salt world and the sauna world. Four wonderful hours! I can’t wait to go there again, delightful indeed. After enjoying the SPA we shortly visited my younger sister Hanna-Liisa and then left Ivanka there for the evening and night, we then continued on to Vorbuse to visit Marie and Raido. We were all rather tired, thus the evening’s events were just one movie and a few games of poker, as it has become a tradition for us (you can read about our poker and fun nights also HERE).
On Sunday we drove back to Tallinn. As always, we preferred to drive via Imavere, Kabala, Türi, Kehra and Rapla. We got back home by dinner time and then I started preparing supper. I now have a completely NEW SYSTEM! No more harmful E-number food additives! Most of all I watch out that I don’t use food that contains preservatives (read about preservatives which should definitely be avoided, HERE). While eating out we do not follow this rule, yet on a daily basis when I shop for food I don’t buy the types of bread and cheese that are full of preservatives. I made myself a long list of the bad E-number food additives, and whenever shopping, I follow this list very closely before adding anything to cart. I am a regular client of e-Selver. It is easy and convenient to shop online and read the product label there, and once you select a product it will remain available under the “My products” menu, so that the following purchase already goes faster and without carefully learning the product description. Under special goods selections they have categories such as lactose free, gluten free, sugar free, vegan and eco, but I would really wish that they also had the category preservative free!
I prepared Maks & Moorits “Tenderloin steak with wild garlic”. I stewed the meat nice and long in the oven, since the weekend’s power prices were better than usual (electricity’s real time prices are accessible via NordenBladet’s app sitewide, you can conveniently FOLLOW HERE). The meat turned out delicious. I also offered fried potatoes, peas, and fresh Grüne Fee green salad with sour cream. The drink this time was primrose tea – certainly from nature and gathered by myself. Primrose’s great medicinal properties are described HERE. Yummmm..
Monday was the 22nd which means it was Allan’s & Helena-Reet’s day! We celebrate it every month on the 22nd as long as it becomes a public holiday (which means forever, hahaaa..) As has been our tradition that day – I always prepare lasagne or whipped cream cake (or perhaps even both!) and Allan brings me a new flowerpot (or cut flowers). ???
Yesterday we went to Keila cultural centre where Comedy Estonia performed with the stand-up show “Autumn Tour” (Sügistuur), ticket: 15.90 EUR. On stage were (the exact line-up): in the first part Daniel Veinbergs, Claus Mootse, Roger Andre and Mikael Meema and in the second part Rauno Kuusik, Aleksandr Popov, Karl-Alari Varma and Ari Matti Mustonen. The show was hosted by Sander Õigus.
The hall was full of people (considerably younger audience as compared to the show “NUTA või NAERA” a week earlier, which I wrote about HERE). For me it was something new that in the middle of the show people would drink beer and cognac and other drinks and the host of the show would calmly joke about it. People who were late kept entering and they, too, were automatically integrated in the show. Super good improvisation ability! I took a picture of the stage but as the lighting was quite weak then I had to draw a face to Sander myself (like Mister Bean drew for Whistler’s mom in the movie “Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie”). The night was entertaining and got a great ending with a photo session where the performers posed with the visitors. So, for preliminary info for the future visitors of Autumn Tour, you will be able to take photos also afterwards ??? hahaaa.. Just before us several professional poses were struck by the always merry and energetic influencer and TV3Play celebrity baby blogger Kristina Suuroja-Pärtelpoeg, who was visiting the show with her television hostess friend Brigitte Susanne Hunt.
Anyway… the show was fun, the atmosphere was relaxed (read: moderately vulgar). Estonian top comedians are super friendly and fun and just as I got back home I wished to get tickets to a new Comedy Estonia event. Next time it is already Ari Matti Mustonen’s “Flamingo”, with warm-up by Mikael Meema.
That would be all for today, be cool!
