cutting diaries

when I read my old diary, if I was sad I felt hopeless. if I was glad I found these old days ridiculous. Thus, it was already in my mind for a long time to get rid of this unpleasant time-machine; burning it, throwing into the river or burying in the forest...
I dont remember exactly, it was nearly 5 or 6 months ago, in a usual gloomy sarajevo winter day, I took a look at my old diary and said "this is the day". I took my hand a gaslighter and went out to the terrace to burn it. However this trial failed because of the freezing wind. Afterwards, my solution was to cut all the pages one by one. I don't know how I would feel when watching it burning but I'm sure that cutting it by hand and scissor had a therapeutic effect on me. I guess cutting any kind of paper is always a joy for anyone but this was a great experience.when it is a diary which I've written so many memories and thoughts in between my 14 and 16.
I don't myself even wonder where those pieces are now but in case to inform, I've put 'em in a plastic bag and throw into the big thrash container. Probably they're taken by a paper collector and already became recycled as a newspaper, notebook... or diary..

fruittea cake

As drinking fruit and spices flavoured hot tea, I thought that pouring these tea particles in cake would be nice. Before my little experiment I made a research to see if someone tried it before and what was the result. Than I could hardly find a text which was saying that it's okay to put some tea particles inside the cake. So I decided to try and see it myself.

I applied the usual cake making procedure except adding only 3 teabags of winter time in it, not to go further. The smell was so excellent but I can not say the same thing for the taste. It was still delicious but not so much different from the usual vanilla flavoured ones. Maybe that's because I poured only 3 teabags. If it was 4 or 5, the taste would be more intense. However, I still think that it's important to be careful about the amounts when doing the first trials.
Anyway, no matter it is; yogurt, milk, juice or black tea with or within the cake, we (me and home-mates) all like it if the intention is to eat something with sugar inside.
