Now is time for the Carnival season. Yesterday evening we were in a ball where the athmosphere was hígh enough.
I was squatting in this armchair, while Pat finished the dressing. Pat grabbed the camera and made a snapshot :)
Before leaving I completed my make-up, put on my heels and we started to the ball.
When we begin the drive it had turned on, that one of the back wheel could not move. Pat stopped the car, and we were trying to find some solution. One of our neighbour helped us with and advice. I had get some hot water in a  bucket and poured it to the immovable wheel. Just imagine - in a prom dress and heels. Pat drove the car away and changed breaking and stepping on it, till she reached to the corner, the handbrake had released the wheel.

Useful advice: when the weather is too cold, and freezing, never use the handbreak!
On the other hand you could even try what helped us out from the trouble.

The ball made us forget the rumpus. We had wonderful time dancing in each others arms.

After all weeks work again I had the possibility to relax with a good book. We had made an exotic dish due to Pat cut her ring finger. As later it has to be iced, Pat get diffrent packs of frozen fruits from the fridge. At least she thought that all were fruits. A small pack turned out to be ready made snails. We thought that it is high time to cook a special italian dish - snail risotto. 

Here is the recipe:

Stew optionally flavored1 kg of purified snail with onion, salt, pepper, cloves, a small spoonful of tomato puree, butter, oil, white or red wine. The cooking time is approx. two hours. Stir constantly until a thick sauce is obtained. Grind the whole thing. Put rice and add water as necessary, or broth. Finally add a spoonful of cream, grated cheese to taste and parsley. 

It is worth to try, for our opinion is is delicious!
