This cake perfectly approaches for such mums as I - to whom catastrophically do not suffice time for ALL! But nevertheless there are such cases when it is necessary to prepare something for tea in the shortest terms. At the minimum expenditures of labour and accessible products it is possible to create here such remarkable pie which is pleasant both to adults, and children.

So, it be required to us:

• Chocolate spice-cakes (about 0,5 kg)
• Sour cream (0,5 l, it can be demanded and more)
• Sugar
• Fruit (for example, 2-3 bananas)

1. Spice-cakes to cut on a top and the basis, a banana circles, in sour cream to put sugar but so that was not so sweet, and to stir.
2. To spread layers: a layer of spice-cakes (basis) - sour cream - banana circles - sour cream - spice-cakes - a banana - sour cream - spice-cakes (tops). To fill in with the sour cream rests. To allow to stand to steam of hours. Sour cream will be absorbed, therefore for appearance before giving it is quite good to cover once more a pie with sour cream and to decorate at the desire. (The photo on a cut is not present, as both cakes became “on carrying out”)

I liked this pie, that I have continued to experiment stuffings - have made with prunes (has preliminary boiled with sugar, and has then crushed a blender) - on my taste it has turned out is unduly sweet, though as the variant for fans of all sweet will approach. Here such it has turned out on a cut:

Council at last: do not regret some sour cream if do not want that the pie has turned out dry. Spice-cakes absorb a lot of cream and a pie becomes monolithic - as from chocolate korzhej. If not to speak, anybody and will not guess, that it is spice-cakes

Finishing the previous post, I have promised to write, what we with the husband see ideal wedding. And here, not shelving, I will try to describe:

1. So it seems to me, that an epoch of mass walks on wedding already in the past, on-extreme measure in a city. I do not see sense to collect under one hundred person which you saw once in a life but which need"to be invited. One business to see in an environment of people with which connect friendship, the confidential relations close (in the plan dushevnosti) related communications, and another - crowd of unfamiliar people which have invited“ for a tick ”.
2. As, in my opinion, it is not necessary to do of wedding "obzhiralovki" - a lot of meal which then carry away home is usually ordered well and eat up within a week. Quite logical on wedding will be furshetnyj a table - such that also visitors did not remain hungry, but also did not depend on when there will be a next change of dishes with a table, and then with huge stomachs were rolled out home. And a separate table with tea and desserts - as I have described in the previous post.
3. Any di-dzheev! The Best - live music: let it will be either the grand piano, or a violin, either a guitar, or a saxophone Our witness on wedding regularly sat down a piano and played Tchaikovsky, Chopin, under one of waltzes we even danced And if there are no musicians - it is possible to pick up quiet tool music for a background. Nobody needs to include “My dear old men, give I you now I will kiss” after a toast for parents And dancing music can be included when it is necessary - many mind and it will not occupy time. At us on wedding friends have arranged Russian national dances under an accordion - all visitors, and is old and mlad, every possible dancing figures were awfully happy repeating for leaders, it have appeared to anybody dances under modern music are not necessary!
4. Away the hired host! If and to conduct the entertaining program to charge it to someone from the acquaintances and to think it together from the beginning out that there were no unpleasant surprises, trite competitions and announcement of gifts
5. And in general, will suffice on wedding to lower a heap of money - better on this money to a newly-married couple to leave in wedding travel at once from a celebratory buffet table!

Good to you of wedding! Let it will be the best and unforgettable …

We have returned recently all family from a city Volga, the small native land of my husband. What has forced us to get out there, you ask? Wedding of sister of the husband! - as it was found out - my sister-in-law (and whence such strange names have gone: brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, the daughter - in-law etc. :-))))

Wedding has passed well - the bride became the wife, the groom - the husband, many relatives from all ends not only Russia, but also Ukraine have gathered, nobody has got drunk also muzzles to visitors did not beat. In general the program a minimum have executed on all 100. Well and as we with the husband already gradually turn to old faultfinders half-nights after a banquet have spent in discussion of the last day, memoirs of own wedding and in search of the recipe of "ideal wedding”. In general, before you the total resolution of our midnight conversation

2. Probably the most important thing on wedding are happy persons of a newly-married couple. Therefore in every way it is necessary to create, keep and increase greatly celebratory mood. Small household discrepancies, nestykovki, it is necessary to remove flaws simply aside and not to pay to them attention. I am very grateful to mum - in day of my wedding it was so kind, so wise, that its presence helped me will cope with excitement, to rejoice everyone to minute of this day. I remember we have arrived to a hairdressing salon to do to me a hairdress, and it is closed … Anybody … earlier Sunday morning … All other hairdressing salons, certainly, are closed … Time just barely enough. We with mum stand in the street and we have fun on a theme of that I will go on wedding with a plait. Fortunately, the hairdresser has soon come, has made to me a hairdress and we have come back home. Certainly, we were late, but it was not an occasion to be nervous, swear and spoil all mood. My girlfriend, for example, was late in the REGISTRY OFFICE - well they have passed the turn, someone has passed forward, but also they without a stamp in the passport did not remain. Here one more council - if will be the repayment, plan time for it with a stock.
3. Well in the REGISTRY OFFICE I somehow will not remember any problems - there this process on a stream and is perfected by years. The unique puncture has happened with disposable wine glasses for visitors - they were unsuitable for use, simply - proceeded. So check in advance.
4. We pass to a celebratory banquet. It seems to me, very important to think over planting of visitors - who with whom sits, behind what table. For this purpose the scheme of tables with places is usually drawn. Sometimes even nominal cards that each visitor knew the place become.
5. The host is a sore point of many weddings. How the host conducted wedding in Volzhsk, in my opinion does not deserve payment any therefore as it was simple awfully. First, I hate any introductions of type “between the first and the second …”, “why wine-glasses dry”, “we do not forget - we pour” … Any conscious spaivanie visitors - probably, in another way it could not amuse the people in any way! Secondly, for all holiday I saw only one competition (something can, of course, still was, we have left hours per 9 evenings) - and that was trite … In the third, the purposeful policy of division into “visitors of the groom” and “visitors of the bride” - with the account and so not so warm relations between "clans" it looked very unpleasantly. And, perhaps, announcement of the received gifts … was the most awful moment After all gifts have been handed over a newly-married couple, have generated “schetnuju the commission” from relatives whom hosts under instructions opened envelopes, cleaned boxes, counted up money. After that have announced all present, that has been presented: an iron - 1 sht (a comment - and if irons have presented 2? For example, on our wedding there were at least 3 steams about identical gifts … As though themselves donators if have learnt felt, what them prezent is presented for nothing?), service - 1 piece, well and so on. Then have passed to money - to all have informed how many money have presented to the groom and the bride, in what denominations, to within copecks … This all procedure has left very unpleasant deposit on a shower - was insulting for a newly-married couple. After all than usually are engaged in the first marriage night? Assort gifts and consider money - together … after all gifts are given not to visitors …
6. Let's pass to the following negative character of our narration - di-dzheju. Would not be at all it it better! It cut music so loudly, that in a stomach vibration was felt and to talk to the neighbour it was necessary for it to shout in an ear. All requests from the party to lower loudness it ignored. Already after I was surprised - and why all were lisped (and I including) with it di-dzheem, really it was impossible to threaten with deprivation of its fee or simply to cut down from the technics socket, especially the repertoire left much to be desired: from series Verki Serdjuchki and Russian pop-music of 90th years … Thus, that at di-dzheja there was a disk with a good selection of music for fast and slow dances which was prepared by the bride with the groom. Well it has put pair of songs ….vidimo, for "tick"
7. Wedding pie. This question not so critical, but nevertheless I will pay your attention here to what moment. Usually not all visitors can remain till the end of wedding (we, for example, have been compelled to leave earlier as with us there were 3 children and they rather have got tired and wished to sleep, other pair too has left for the reasons). And a pie we did not see. Could not even drink tea therefore as it submitted only right at the end. In this respect on our wedding it was more convenient - separately from the general table there were sofas, a little table on which there were cups, tea leaves, boiled water and some pies (which my mum baked). Interested persons could have a rest in silent conditions, talk and have a drink tea with a dessert, irrespective of a course of the basic program of giving of dishes.

Perhaps, I have listed the basic moments to which it is necessary to pay attention if you organise wedding. In a following post I will write, what we see “ideal wedding” …. And now it is time to sleep ()

Here those 2 old faultfinders on wedding:

I finish a cycle of stories about the childbirth - have reached and the third. They are remarkable that on sorts there was our daddy and took on hands of the son a first minute of his life out of mum. At once I will tell, that our daddy a strong nutlet - in a faint did not fall, avaricious man's tears did not drop and at all has not seen in sorts anything terrible and heavy, than has caused just anger in a female half of relatives

But we will return to the beginning. The story about my third pregnancy could be begun already habitual phrase: “for us it was unexpected …» etc. But nevertheless it was not absolutely so …

After birth Mashenki, our second child, we with the husband have decided, that this time it is necessary to make an interval between children more. After 2 beremennostej successively rest both physical, and psychological was necessary to me. Here just and the Post Great has begun. On Pussy-willow revivals we with the husband prichastilis. Having come back home, the husband suddenly began to assort our books and has casually found out the book «About marriage and a child-bearing» one Greek archimandrite (I can not precisely tell as this book any more at us). It has so amazed us with the categorical relation to contraception questions, that we without superfluous reasonings have ceased to be protected.

But in me the hope all the same glimmered, that after 2 beremennostej successively, the organism itself «hardly will want» to repeat such feat, and year-other I can have a rest. Will from above my hopes have not come true - in the first cycle there has come a delay. Still hoping for an unsteady cycle after the second sorts, week I waited and did not buy the test. Every day I all became more intense and eventually have bought the test – it is necessary to learn, whether it is necessary to start to drink folic acid?

Pregnancy.

Two strips … In third time … It is perceived as something usual … But all the same the plenty of thoughts not the most optimistical pursues me the first time. Pamjatuja how all near relations have not so joyfully met news about the second pregnancy, it has been decided not to speak about the third as it is possible longer. It was not difficult, since ahead there was a summer, holidays at all. In consultation I too did not hurry up, that to me "casually" have not offered radical methods of the decision of "problem". On 4th month we have gone to have a rest to Pereslavl-Zalessky all family. Numerous pedestrian walks in beautiful places have exclusively favorably affected my state of health. More in detail in Pereslavl-Zalesskom I will tell about rest somehow another time.

On returning from a trip we have informed on replenishment to close relatives, I was registered in ZHK where, to my happiness, me of anything bad have not told – usual order have weighed, have measured, have given out directions on analyses. As to cope with two karapuzami and housekeeping to me it was already heavy, has been decided to call to the aid the nurse.

In maternity home.

Once again with PDR (presumable date of sorts) there were essential disagreements – in 2-3 weeks – at doctors from ZHK and doctors of maternity home OMM. Once again all were afraid of possibility to give birth in local maternity home. Also it has been once again decided to send me to Ekaterinburg in advance, right after New Year. Having stayed for a while couple of days at the girlfriend, on January, 6th I have arrived in OPB GU scientific research institute OMM (branch of a pathology of pregnancy). As always – the good doctor (which has appointed to me only to pass ultrasonic, KTG, an electrocardiogram and to hand over the general analyses, without everyone “kapelnichek and ukolchikov»), familiar midwifes and nurses on a post and familiar feeling of an anticipation of the important event.

Christmas vacation has ended, first date PDR … any harbingers passed. I for old time's sake nagulivaju kilometres on building OMM – on all transitions, ladders, is melancholy look in windows of patrimonial chambers – when I already there will appear? Fortunately it was possible to persuade the attending physician – Lyudmila Evgenevnu – to give out me outer clothing, to take a breath of fresh frosty air. This very day we with the husband have walked on the centre of Ekaterinburg, have sat in kafeshke … Patrimonial activity and it is not planned. Next day walk on a city with the husband repeats, the truth, a route increases. By the morning there were fights – each 6-8 minutes. With internal triumph I storm ladders, on the sly I collect packages, I wash, smarten up, I call to the husband that from station went to maternity home. To 9 mornings, just by a breakfast, fights gradually come to naught. Any physical exercises and arrangements not in forces to return them back. It is necessary to call to the husband that it all the same went for work, and itself I go for a breakfast. On detour the doctor says, that if to tomorrow I will not give birth, it is necessary to do stimulation. There are no, thanks! I start to go, run strenuously even more on short flights of stairs through a step, to mass points on brushes of hands, to heat a waist in a shower.

Childbirth.

Hour per 3 nights I wake up from fights each 6-8 minutes. Rather early … the Husband will not have time to arrive, therefore I decide not to rise and not to perambulate, and dolezhat till the morning. Especially there was Tatyana Aklaevny's change – that, the old woman who sent me in patrimonial in the second childbirth. Desires again most to drag all trunks with things is not present any. More close by a dawn I call to the husband with the offer to arrive to maternity home – confidence that it already irrevocably on 99 %. On the sly I pack things, I wait while will end peresmenka and to me the Belief – very kind and tactful midwife will come. Simultaneously I surprise neigbours in chamber with the calmness and cheerful mood. Be I one, I hardly was such vigorous, not having fallen down practically 2 last nights, but very much would be desirable to give a positive spirit on childbirth to little girls who go to give birth for the first time. Soon after survey by the doctor there has arrived my husband – about as it is pleasant to see the native person, to feel, that you not one on the threshold of such important and responsible moment.

We have gone down in patrimonial hours per 10 mornings where my husband have dressed in a disposable dressing gown, have given out a mask, a hat – so I saw only eyes of the spouse, and that behind points. For the period of survey of my husband ask to leave chamber – I do not know, can there were cases, what husbands stirred to doctors? The brigade on duty has very much pleased me – at the head there was Larissa Ivanovna, the doctor which conducted me before the second sorts – it very much liked me. Midwife Nastja – it accepted the first childbirth with Timoshej, its care and encouragement to me were remembered for all life. They too have recollected me (actually not so a lot of time has passed since then. Disclosing was, apparently, 3-4 sm, but I have asked not to interfere in any way with process and to leave a bubble whole. With me have agreed and have left us with the husband in patrimonial one.

Fights gradually became frequent and accordingly amplified. It was easier to me to rest elbows against a bed and in such bent pose to endure a pain. The husband suggested me to lay down a little to have a rest, but what there rest – 2 minutes will lie down, and then as will take, that one desire to plant the feet against a floor, and hands in a bed. If I had not time to accept this pose, fight was very painful. Recollecting, that the husband should do in patrimonial, I have offered it porazminat to me a waist. But any touches were unpleasant to me, and fights went already so often, what even on conversations of forces and time was not. Because of what my spouse even was upset a little: « Well here, - speaks, - I thought, to you is necessary, and you even to talk to me do not want ». On what I have answered it, that business not in mine to it the relation, and that I leave in myself and me so is easier and more comfortable. I know, that favourite nearby and it I have enough. As a result"system"was counterbalanced: the husband dozed on taburetochke, and I silently went on the chamber, each 2 minutes stopping at a bed and repeating myself« Breathe, breathe, relax, reveal »

All became more sick also I already wished to send the husband for doctors when the brigade on duty itself has come into chamber. Was nearby 14-00. To lay down on an armchair it was heavy because of practically incessant fights. Disclosing - 8 sm, Larissa Ivanovna has told, that now and we will give birth. Have opened a bubble, have put but-shpu (though I asked to put nothing, to me something have explained – but I have not remembered :-). Here and attempts have begun. The child has yet enough fallen, therefore attempts 5 I had to constrain is there was the heaviest. Here I was very much helped by the husband – it stood nearby and massed to me a head. It distracted me in good sense a little and at last time has come to make an effort. The most pleasant – not to suffer in sorts a pain, and actively to operate, on a limit of all forces, not thinking about what – main thing to give birth! 2 attempts – the head … the husband on the offer of doctors was born to look – has refused On the following attempt to me it seemed, that on a stomach place – emptiness … nothing to strain, not looking at all efforts (it is one of difficulties with which can face at the third sorts a small interval – muscles pererastjanuty). Here the doctor has put the hand on top of a stomach and on the next attempt has pressed – not strongly, as though helping me. And we ljalik was born, at 14-15. Good! Big – 4,100 kg. The midwife as took it on hands then named its "hamster". But siniiy! As a result obvitija an umbilical cord colour of a head of ours pupsika was blue-red.

After processings, our family have left in chamber. I with a dropper laid on a bed (there was a risk of occurrence of a bleeding – again because of 3 sorts), and the daddy with the kid went on chamber. There was such calmness, such pacification, such universal happiness, that for the sake of these minutes it is possible to suffer a pain of a birth of the child. 2 hours after sorts have passed, us with Vanyusha have carried in postnatal branch, and the daddy has gone for work

After sorts.

All would be anything in poslerodovyj the period if not begun zheltushka at Vani – billirubin has risen already in the first days and throughout all 5 days its level steadily grew. In this connection my kid all time laid under a dropper, under a photolamp, to it daily took blood on analyses, that certainly did not promote good mood. One consoled – the child nearby.

Every day I waited, that billirubin will decrease, but the doctor informed each time on the return. For 6 day to us recommended to be translated in children's clinic, but there was at me inside a feeling protivlenija to it. It seemed, leave the child alone, cease to put droppers, and all is normalised. Thanks my mum – she to me has told, that I have calmed down, have written "otkaznuju" and have come back home … And there we will look … having got of support of relatives, I and have made.

On returning home, I have there and then registered in reception at a children's osteostalemate (manualnomu to the therapist) – heard, that there are in practice cases when after several sessions, zheltushka passes. The doctor was checked up, the acquaintance. And already by the end of the first session we have noticed, how yellowness slept, and Vanyusha has turned pink. In 2 weeks we have handed over the blood analysis on billirubin - it has decreased twice after an extract: with 280 to 120 … the Following analysis has shown, that all in norm.

Here such history of occurrence in our family of the third kid – cheerful and cheerful Vanjushki!

Here it is possible to read about:

The first pregnancy and childbirth

The second pregnancy and childbirth

As that came to write for a long time me the offer 5 facts from the life, but I why as a result have not understood that, that it is necessary to make, yet have not seen on one such ministory. The idea was pleasant to me, it is necessary to think, that such you about me do not know, and that it will be interesting to you to learn … Mdaaa … Well we will try:

1. With what my culinary "career" has begun. Years edak at 10-12 I have decided to please parents with a pie with own hand baked by a breakfast. Probably the leader of morning transfer possessed belief and motivation gift therefore as having written down the recipe, I have gone to search ingridienty … On my happiness (misfortune?) I have found 10 eggs in a refrigerator, as well as 1 kg of sugar … the flour ….ее I was necessary still and could not find out, therefore has approached to sleeping mum with a question: “Mums, I need 3 kg of a flour …”. A mum's dream as a hand has removed. I will lower interrogation details about where I have found such recipe and that it for transfer such, I remember only from ten eggs, it is diligent me shaken up with sugar kg, have baked something, strongly giving fish (in those days hens fed with a fish flour, therefore eggs very strongly gave “sea gifts”). Strangely enough that experience has not beaten off at me desire to prepare and experiment on kitchen
2. I have finished biological faculty with very even good estimations in the diploma, but the majority of questions of the 3-year-old son nonplus me: why at a needle fur-tree, children why a crocodile call a crocodile what for are necessary
3. I dreamt to marry the Italian. And, certainly, to live in Italy. With that end in view on the first grant even the textbook “Italian for 3 weeks” has been bought. In marriage I as a result left not for the Italian, but very much even it is successful. And a family my precisely Italian - noisy and cheerful. The first reaction of visitors: “As it is a lot of you!!!” …. And us all that 5 … :-))
4. I the first have kissed the husband. The husband, of course, was not against such turn of events, but this “the historical moment” remains till now an occasion to its jokes
5. My most favourite film “Naval cadets, forward!”. I can look till now its tens times successively and not be disappointed. In the childhood my fanaticism was expressed in an inscription “Sashka. Aleshka.” On a window sill of a children's room. Till now it is a shame
