… second day of celebration

yesterday – my birthday – i simply enjoyed life: every minute of the day, the congratulations, letters, emails, sms, calls, presents … so many wonderful things happened.

today we were celebrating with some of my family. my mom brought beautiful roses to me:

nice afternoon, but somehow … strange. hm. maybe i’ll write about this later…

wanna see what we had to eat?

coming back to hamburg the city is greeting us with wonderful weather. springlike temperature, sunny & warm. i found stinging nettles, dandelion, goutweed and leafs of the lime tree in our and our neighbours’ garden & next to our house! & what a beautiful sight out of our kitchen window: the cherry tree is blowing

today we were visiting a friend to celebrate her birthday. she made a marvellous chocolate-cream-cake:

it doesn’t look raw at all, does it? i guess even non-raw-foodists would like it …

have a look at the whole fancy cake, and the other tarts:

… to all of you out there … may all your wishes become true! follow your heart, whereever it leads you!

i am still feeling the joy of a wonderful evening – celebrating new year’s eve with some dear friends & my daughter. this has been the first new year for 13 years without my son … he decided to celebrate with his father. i was missing him … and two very dear friends who could not be with us … anyhow we have had lots of fun, playing, dancing, talking, eating …

here are some of the treats i made for the party:

a few impressions of our xmas days …

although i really don’t like the annual hype about xmas, i absolutely love making the advent calendars for my kids. this year i have even managed to come up with them in time. want to see this year’s version?

furthermore i do enjoy decorating our house. i began to do this today, 1st advent … so i don’t have to show much, but there are 24 days left to go on crafting & decorating

we are going to fill the nativity scene day by day.

i have to show you this wonderful, delicious fancy cake my dear friend pavlina made:

a day full of dear friends, comforting talks, yummy raw cake, fruit & dandelion, dancing salsa … what a wonderful world!

two days ago we were celebrating my son’s birthday. this is his birthday-cake … i wanted to give him a cake he would like (as a matter of course) but we all could eat …

yes – it is raw. and yes – he tried it and liked it! happy me

we had a great day together – building his new lego star destroyer, playing carrera race (we haven’t done this for years, but it was really fun!)

another party … the way our kitchen looks like these days. i have found cherimoyas and kakis at the central market & lots of greens in the nature reserve. we have got a wonderful package from orkos. & i prepared some tasty dishes for the birthday party … so we have bowls & plates full of fruit everywhere & a brimful fridge:
