Helena-Reet: Shocking documentaries, my wonderful life + OUR TODAY’S NEW YEAR’S EVE!

December 31, 2021

NordenBladet – We woke at about ten today morning, since we stayed up late again last night. For the past two months we have been watching 2-3 different movies every night – documentaries as well as entertainment. The most recent documentaries happened to be extremely gloomy.

We watched from Youtube “The untold story. What happened to Otto Warmbier in North Korea?” (link to video). It was about the 22-year-old American student Otto Frederick Warmbier, who died six days after he was allowed back to the USA, then already being blind, deaf, with brain damage and in coma because of the torture, according to his parents. Yet another devastating movie was “Machine Gun Preacher” from TV1000 action, based on the book “Another Man’s War”, where Gerard Butler plays Sam Childers who until this day helps save children in South Sudan and Uganda (mainly war victims). Little children are not only victims of violence and abuse in war, armed groups recruit them forcefully and send them to commit ritual murders and to fight. Very gruesome was also Peter Kosminsky’s short drama series “The State” from National Geographic. It is about four British citizens that travel to Syria in order to join ISIS, and how, after joining the terror organization it is difficult for them to cope with reality.

Why do I write about this? Because our lives are better than Paradise! Ours and our children’s lives are PERFECT. I am so GRATEFUL and FORTUNATE for my life! And I so wish that there could be peace in the world! Let’s be kind to each other – to our close people as well as others! This is a beautiful thought to start the new year! ???

So, today we woke at around ten o’clock and I thanked the Almighty that I am able to wake up in a warm room held by a beloved person. I made breakfast (fried eggs with sweet pepper) and then I started doing laundry, cleaning the house and changing the sheets, so that the house would shine from cleanliness and so that the first day of the year could begin all tidy. Allan ploughed the snow, brought firewood, heated the house and began sorting and tidying his office.. Namely, he already promised two months ago that by the end of the year the office would be neat 😀

One day before the school holiday, Ivanka Shoshana caught a bad virus from school and she still is a bit ill, even her ear ached for some time. After that we all fell ill, we already thought we had caught Covid. We are all vaccinated, yet we had all the Omicrom symptoms – slight fever, running nose, sore throat, and even aching joints. We took the test at home, we also went to take the test at the doctor’s, from the nose. Luckily, the tests were negative.

Then I posted an article about traditions and activities of New Year’s Eve, that according to our forefathers bring luck and success – see HERE. Actually these are guidelines you could follow every day 🙂

Since Ivanka is still a bit ill, we decided to spend New Year’s Eve at home. Well, perhaps we would have stayed at home also in case she were alright. It is nice to be cosy indoors and at home! I still put on some makeup, I like to look good also at home for myself. I put on a retro-style Indiska dress, pearls, and Must de Cartier perfume! For supper I made super tasty puff pastry pizza. Yummmm… If you try it, you want more!

Here is the RECIPE! ??? It is very easy to prepare..

Tha base is yeast-puff pastry (Eesti Pagar), cover it with Felix ketchup. Then, to cover, chop 2-3 large tomatos, 2 average onions, 100g green olives (Figaro) and about 30-40g jalapenos (Santa Maria). Since in the fridge I already had tenderloin with wild garlic (Maks ja Moorits), then I chopped some meat (but the dish is also very good without meat!). This done, I added the spices. I use either Knorr or Maggi Spaghetti Bolognese spices and I add a lot of it (ca one and a half pack, ca 60-70g), then sprinkled some dill, thyme, and minced meat spices. For cover, I added sour cream and cheese. Trickle about half a pack 20% Alma sour cream over the plate pizza (unflavoured yogurt will also do), and then grate some cheese on top of it. I use two different ones – Valio Atleet and Valio Italian Forte Classico. If you wish, you can sprinkle also some seeds on top (sesame seeds or sunflower seeds). 40 minutes in the oven and it is ready!

Now we enjoy the evening! PS! We drink non-alco and gluten free GO Pilsner! I have decided to make myself a favour and give up alcohol for sometime. It is good for the body and for health.

Strong hugs to all of you, and I wish you a wonderful New Year! May all your good wishes come true! ???
