One week till Xmas!Are you ready?

I still have some things to buy,to send,to write,to clean,etc)One week left,but definetely in festive mood already)))))).

Christmas Tree

Our Xmas Tree is finally ready,totally child-dog-friendly and  glassfree.I'm keeping all my glass handmade and all other special decorations till my baby grows up,this morning he managed to break a plastic decoration anyway,so if you have kids under age of 6 it's probably a good idea to keep it glass free and not be worried all the time that somebody might hurt themselves and let it be fun for little ones.So our tree is mostly decorated by Lee,it doesn't look anything like I wanted to have,you know all those beatiful pictures of Xmas trees of one color:all white or silver or the whole tree decorated in one special style,but ours instead is Very 3year-old like and for us it's of course more special than any magazine style.

Bagels!Mmmmmm....

Since we don't have any bagels here in Madeira,we used to get them aaaaaall the way from England,it's good that they last so long.But today we decided to bake them at home......Yeah,real bagels at home.(Remember good breakfasts at Dunkin Donuts in NY).Anyway,to my big surprise they turned out perfect,and it wasn't as dificult as I imagined.I used this recipe:

I didn't use any malt powder though and didn't put any baking soda into the water,have to try it next time,it's good to know all the useful tricks.
