Lion King and too much food

Hi!

I had a house-warming party this weekend with a few of my friends from school. The plan was to watch all of the Lion King movies and eat way too much junk food. We started around 3 pm on Saturday and the last guests left around 4 pm on Sunday,

We went to get some pizza after the first movie. I haven't had pizza from an actual pizzeria since I moved here and I've been craving it for weeks so that was great.

After the movies we decided to play some Mario Party. I've never played it with 3 other people and it was so much fun. I even came in the 2nd place :D

I had heard that morning that they were going to show A Mother's Nightmare on tv at midnight so we watched that with the two of my friends who decided to stay for the night. After that we just chatted for a while and went to sleep.

We ended up sleeping pretty late and I started talking about how I have eggs in my fridge because I had made cookies for the party but I don't really like eggs so we made pancakes for breakfast/lunch/dinner (it was like 4 pm). They turned out good even though they took forever to make.

I feel pretty exhausted but really happy about the weekend. I'm so happy I've met such amazing people here in Rovaniemi. And just to think about that I was so so so scared that I wouldn't make any friends here when I moved.

See you soon!

2 ingredient banana pancakes

Hi!

The other day I had a banana about to go bad and some leftover eggs from baking in my fridge and I suddenly remembered a super easy recipe I had seen in some blogs so I decided to try it. These are 2 ingredient pancakes and I was a bit scared the first time because I don't really like eggs and thought they would taste like an omelette but they didn't and I was happily surprised.

So the ingredients are super simple:

1 banana
1 egg.

I like to add 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice to give them a little bit more flavor and this time I decided to add some little toppings too.

I used some blueberries, chocolate and cinnamon. These gave the pancakes such a nice taste and I think I'm going to continue experimenting with different toppings.

I used really big blueberries and seems like they were a bit too big so one of the pancakes failed. They still tasted good though and that's all that matters :D

Ta-da! I made a few plain ones to eat with Nutella but out of all toppings, I think the chocolate ones ended up being my favorite.

See you soon!

Fairs and headbands

Hi!

There were couple of fairs going on in Rovaniemi last weekends and we thought they would be worth of checking out with my classmate. We met up on Saturday and went for a little walk around central Rovaniemi (or whatever it's called, don't ask me I've lived here only for a week). The area I live in is starting to become more familiar and now I know a few cool and really cheap stores that I would've never found on my own. Here's a few pictures I snapped on Saturday: 

There was like an international food fair going on and I just had to get some churros. The paper bag was also super cute.

We actually went looking for these haha. They're like super long pieces of licorice and you can hardly get them anywhere unless you go to a fair or an amusement park etc...

After a few hours of walking and shopping, I went to get some groceries and made myself a yummy chicken salad. 

I ended up buying a few little things on Saturday including couple new jumpers because it's getting really cold in here (it was 5 degrees this morning!!! I had to ask how to sign "it's cold outside" haha). I also got few new headbands because I'm sick of having to push away my bangs from my face 500 times everyday. I've been wearing bandanas a lot lately and I like them because they keep my bangs in place so I thought I'd get a few headbands so I won't have to wear a bandana everyday. I didn't take pictures of the stuff that I bought but I'm sure you'll see them in this blog at some point :D I did have a new headband and jumper on today tho so here's a picture:

Please ignore the messy apartment (especially you, mom), I'm still unpacking. 

Also! Because of this headband/bandana addiction, I got a name sign. Our sign language teacher referred to me with a sign for a headband in one of the classes last week and I kind of just decided to keep it.

See you soon!
