Cooking

I actually had time to cook lunch for us both today. We came home from work together about 2 and didn't have to go back until early evening - I had a class in a local bank at 6 and Rafa had class at the Lenin branch at 6.30. So, I did a quick lazy meal - some pasta, some frozen veg mix, some pasta sauce and some cheese and hey presto, voilá - a very nice lunch.

It's very easy to make. Simmer the apples with a little sugar and cinnamon and hey presto. You can add tequila to taste, and any other fruit for that matter. A little lemon gives it a little kick; a little orange is pleasant; in Mexico you would add some tamarind.

OK, the temperature has risen and it's only just below freezing at the moment, so we didn't really need warming up but we had apples that were a little old so I thought it would be good. Then I had my evening class cancelled today so was able to make it for Rafa. Being that we are in Russia we had a little vodka in it and it was most pleasant. I actually learnt how to make this the first time I was "here" though "here" wasn't really "here" as it was the Soviet Union and I was in Latvia but that's another story.
