I hate you, Iceland volcanoes!!!

So I was to fly... yesterday... From Dortmund to Timisoara, a one week trip, round trip tickets already purchased well before, so that I could get nice price on both the flights and the trains...
So on saturday I received a notification from my flight company, that there are only a couple of days more before my flight, sort-of a "don't forget you have an important trip in a couple of days". As if I could...
So, I thought to myself how good it is that the volcanic chaos didn't get my trip cancelled... But then the bad news started.
On Monday (day before flight), I received an e-mail from the same company saying that because of "natural causes" some flight might get cancelled, and as such I might want to consider changing the flight, or simply canceling it... super-duper. But nowhere did it actually say that my flight was cancelled...
In any case, I considered it safer to just cancel the trip... and so I did...
On Tuesday, 4 hours before flight takeoff, I saw an update on the company's website, that showed my flight as being cancelled. I should have been on my train to the airport already, in case I decided to actually have that trip. Cool, huh?...

As from now onwards, the "we can change anything about our flights, up to 3 hours before departure" policy has a totally different meaning from me...

Well, just wanted to ship out my sadness in the world...

So, good night, world! See you soon in yet another boring blog-post of mine :)

Just... Me

Pineapple and Coconut Souffle - a la Tesco ;)

Hi everyone!
I have never had an original pineapple souffle in my life. Actually, I never had any kind of souffles before, if we ignore the rice souffle we used to make at home, and it never puffed up, as the name would indicate...
Anyways... my beloved asked me if I could make a pineapple souffle for him, and of course, i searched the internet, and i found something satisfying, but I somehow knew that there was something way better out there.
And guess what... one day i actually found it!

The original recipe is here, however being scared of loosing this site, and then the recipe as well, I will post everything in this blog entry as well.
You must try it, you will all love it!!!

I know we did... :)

1tbsp butter
