Busy Weekend

I had wanted to blog-hop on Saturday and Sunday, but then hubby told me on Saturday morning that we'd spend a night at my in-laws, so we packed our things and went there. Friday night hubby went to the bars with his brothers and his second brother's girlfriend. I didn't go as I was so tired already. I baked a cake for my FIL's belated b-day he he he...

In case you wanna know, I tried making this yogurt cake. My first yogurt cake ever!!! And it turned out fine. I made some slight changes to the recipe since I only had frozen strawberries. I also added a layer of blackcurrant jam as the topping prior to baking. However, I decided not to spread some strawberries in the middle of the batter (as the recipe said) since I was afraid that my cake would get wet (I tried doing such a thing before and it didn't work well).

Here are two pics of my cake:


Don't wonder why the frosting is that way, though. It was the first time I tried doing it this way, so it was really messy HI HI HI HI...But it doesn't really matter since we all managed to eat the WHOLE cake (I used a baking pan with a 25 cm diameter) in two days (my FIL, MIL, me, hubby, his two brothers, and the youngest son of his first brother). :-D


We played Mölkky again on Saturday evening, though it had got slightly colder by then. At night my MIL, me, hubby, and his two brothers played Unno until 2 am ha ha ha ha ha...Sunday afternoon I was SO tired that I took a nap for a few hours when hubby and his brothers had to something with my FIL.

I also took some pics when I was there.

First pic: The flagpole fell down, so they tried to tear away the rest of the pole, though it was hard to do, since it was deep and there were rocks around the bottom of the pole. Good thing was that it didn't fall over my MIL's and our cars. Otherwise it'd have done severe damage to our cars!!! Phew!!!




Then more pics of her garden he he he...



Yeah, yeah, I was just playing around with my digital camera hi hi hi...



Time to blog-hop now before I have to make some buns. I'm waiting for the dough to rise for the time being HE HE HE HE HE...;-D

P.S. On Saturday I managed to talk A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT with my MIL about many things, including diapers and cultural differences between Indo and Finland. I think it was the longest talk I had ever had with her and I'm going to continue this habit hi hi hi...After all, she seems very interested in getting to know Indonesian cultures, as well.

My kind-hearted MIL also asked me to think about what gift or souvenir she should buy for my Mom before I go to Indo in October. BLESS HERRRRRRRR!!! I'm SO BLESSED for having such a MIL. I hope she lives long and healthily so that she can see our kid(s) he he he...
