Szia, hungarian team

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everybody saying we all felt spoilt, hosted by you and that we spent a wonderful time together - I feel glad we can keep in touch as a group through the blog and can keep adding further remarks to what we have experienced in Budapest (like Alexa did), as well as start talking about when we all are going to meet back here in February.

Hope we can match your programme, friendship and hospitality - so, everybody, dry your farewell tears and start counting down the days :)))

Gingerbread recipe:)

Hi everyone!

Here's the recipe of the gingerbread we made:

Ingredients:

• 1 kg flour
• 4 dl of powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons (or coffeespoons) of baking soda
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons of powdered cloves /note: you can buy special mixture of spices for this cake/
• a pinch of salt
• 10 dkg of margarine or butter
• 3 whole eggs
• 2.5-3 dl of honey
• 1 egg's white and 6 tablespoons of sugar for the decoration (note: as we did, you can use different nuts eg. hazelnut, almond etc. as decoration)

How to make it:
Mix the flour, the powdered sugar and the spices then crumble the margarine or butter in this mixture. Put the honey and the eggs in the middle and mix the whole well. Maybe the pastry won't stay in one piece, so leave some flour and add it to the pastry in smaller amounts. Be careful, the pastry shouldn't be too soft, as it would rise overly and the figures "melt" in the oven and in addition, the surface of the cakes will be pitted. Then cut a small piece of the pastry and roll it over on a well-floured surface until it is 2-3 mm thin. Afterwards you can cut the figures (traditional figures are: Christmas-tree, bell, heart, star, bird, angel etc. - usually connected to Christmas; but you can cut any shapes you prefer;) ). If you're ready with the figures, put them on an oven pan, which was previously buttered and floured (it is useful if you use a bigger knife to put the figures on the pan - then they won't lose their shapes) . Bake the cakes in a mid-hot oven (ca. 175 °C) for about 5-10 minutes (or more if it's needed), but be careful not to burn them as they can burn easily. The pans don't need to be buttered again, but if you put some flour in it, it won't be harmful. You can decorate the cakes before or after baking. The decoration: beat the eggwhite and the sugar together by adding the sugar in small amounts until it is solid enough to draw... Tip for drawing: cut a very little hole on a corner of a small nylon bag - it is the easiest way to decorate with this white "icing":)

Enjoy making gingerbread:D and bewitch your family with your knowlegde:P

See you soon,
Alexa

Snow in Budapest

Hi, Portuguese gang,

Good idea from Rita to help you check the weather in advance! And what a coincidence teacher Judit asked me to share with you (as she had problems on log-in the blog) this picture she took today near her place, in Budapest... doesn't it look nice?
Well, shall we ask our Hungarian partners to save some snow for us, just in case we wont get any during our staying there, though I guess, according the forecasts, we may be lucky :))) Only a bit of snow, right? - just enough to not have problems with the landing conditions - so keep your fingers crossed :D

A personal object for the introduction game

Hi, everybody, though I'm addressing especially the Portuguese students as we...

...forgot to tell you, when we present the programme, that for the sunday evening 'introducing yourself to the others' you are requested to bring a (small) object that has a special meaning to you, that can somehow 'picture' yourselves. Then, you are supposed to talk a bit about yourselves using the object you choosed as a sort of illustration or starting point. So, that's the general idea - any doubts?

I'm glad we are having again some regular posting back and forth from both sides and I guess you all are thinking about the same as Sara... 11 days left :))
