Pred- in po-novoletne Before and after New Year's

S sestro sva si po dolgem času skupaj, samo midve, pripravili kosilo.

After a long time my sister and I made a lunch together, just the two of us.

Z enega zadnjih sprehodov v dvanajstki, ko sva na pošti oddala nekaj najinih koledarjev.

From one of the last walks in the Twelve, when our calendars were send away to new recipients.

Najtanjši čips, kar sem jih kdaj videla; spečen po Mirovo. The thinnest chips I have ever seen, baked by Miro.

Ljubezenski zmenek v prednovoletnem Kamniku. A love date in a festive Kamnik town.

Napad na kuhanca od spodaj. :) An underground attack to kuhano vino [=mulled wine]. :)

S tradicionalnega silvestrskega pohoda na Šmarno goro. From the traditional Silvester hike to Šmarna gora.

Pripravljanje silvestrske večerje, začenši s preprosto predjedjo s pršutom, kaprami, olivnim oljem, medom in poprom.

Preparing Silvester dinner starting with a simple appetizer: pršut, capers, olive oil, honey and pepper.

Ker je to kar drag špas, smo si rekli kdaj, če ne za silvestrovo! in za kuharja izbrali Mira, da nam je

za glavno jed po dooolgem času končno spet pripravil njegov slavni biftek v poprovi omaki, ki je požel same pohvale.

It is too expensive to have it many times throughout the year, so we said when, if not now! and chose Miro

to cook for us his famous dish on the Silvester after quite a long time - beefsteak with green peppercorns sauce. Delicious!

Na novega leta dan je bilo sončno! There was a sun on the first day of the new year!

Kaj je bilo prej – škatlica ali praline? :)

Seveda se je bratranec pri načrtovanju in kasneje skup dajanju škatlice prilagajal
dimenzijam čokolatinčkov, ki jih je naredila njegova najdražja, kakopa!

Vse te dobrote sta nama podarila, vse opremljene z nalepkami, na katerih je tudi
znak z njunima začetnicama, ki sem ga pred časom zanju oblikovala jaz. Luštno. :)

Which came first – the little box or the pralines? :)

Of course, my cousin adjusted the measurements of the box he constructed
to these little chocolates that his dearest had made to fit in, what else!

They gave us all these goodies and put the sing with their initials I designed for them once on the labels. Cute. :)
