A week ago, I’ve started going to English lessons, so I decided that I must improve my English writing and also get a richer vocabulary. Today I’m going to talk about a previous week, which was very existing and to short. I got my first confectionary order – for my friend, that is why I had to bake about 5 kilograms of different cookies and also honey pie, so from Monday till Thursday I baked every afternoon when I got from work, just to prepare different kind of cookies.
I made 8 different kinds of cookies. I have wrriten down Slovenian names for cookies, because I really don’t know the English names for them.
1. rumove krogljice
2. makronski hlebčki
3. čokoladni – kokosovi piškoti
4. orehovi – milka piškoti
5. Linške oči
6. medena pita – honey pie
7. huzardski krapki
8. vanililevi rogljički

All the cookies are delicious and at the bottom of the text are some of the pictures of me when I’m preparing dough to make cookies, and also some of the finished products.

Melt some of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl gently to make a 12 cm pancake. Cook for 1-2 mins, or until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden brown. Turn over and cook for 30 secs more, or unti golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter to make five more pancakes, adding more butter as needed.

My first recipe: it is called TIRAMISU. You must try it. It takes you 30 minutes of your time and everyone are going to love it. The Italians started with this dessert, but mine in better than Italians. I work in a big company, and the population are only females, ages from 20 to 35. and when I started to work there, if was very difficult, I didn’t know people, whell you know how it is, when you start a new job. And I brought a whole plate of this dessert the second day of my work. Everyone loved it, and I became more relaxed and it was easy to establish contacts my co-workers. I’ll mention, that I had to print the recipe 30 times ( for all my co-workers).
