Weekend

It's Sunday evening and the weekend is turning to a close. But I had a nice weekend, I must say...

On Friday we had to do a questionnaire for our project at FH, we managed to ask from almost 30 pupils and get to really start our weekend. Friday was otherwise nice, almost 20 degrees and sunny.

One of the best things on this weekend was that I did not had to work on Saturday. Nowadays I am working only on every other Saturday and I just love waking up on Saturday without a hurry.

We did not eat breakfast at home, we went to Fingerlos(Mia tonne mennään toivottavasti sitten kun tulet tammikuussa käymään)

After breakfast we really did not know what to do. Our first plan was to go to the Zoo but somehow we were not that excited about it... so we went bowling!!!

And I lost ofcourse.. I even went so far as to throw the ball from between my legs. Of course with this strategy I did not hit a single pin..

In the evening we made something seriously awesome and sort of unhealthy for dinner: BURGERS!

I do not need to explain, just look at the picture below:

Sunday was full of doing nothing and FH-stuff... there is still enough to do!

The package/paketti

I am going to post this post in Finnish since I got on Monday a small package from Finland. And my mom does not know that good English that she would be able to read this. This is for my mom!! So those who do not understand finnish, you better find someone who can translate it to you!

Eli maanantai iltana tulin töistä kotiin, kamalassa kiireessä tietenkin koska mun kaverit olivat tulossa mun luokse viettämään Halloweenia. Kävelin rappuset ylös ja meidän oven edessä odotti oranssi-valkoinen paketti. Tämä oli tietysti se paketti josta minun äiti oli paljon Skypessä jutellut: Mitä hän laittaa sinne ja ettei se vaan tule liian kalliiksi lähettää :)

Sisältä löytyi pelkkiä ihania juttuja mitkä vaan mun äiti osaisi pakata yhteen pakettiin. Tässä lista tavaroista ja alla kuva paketin sisällöstä

1. Purkki Fairya(koska itävaltalaisten astianpesuaineista ei ole mihinkään, eikä ne ole myöskään niin monikäyttöisiä kuin Fairy)

2. 400g Töysäläinen Oy:n Piparkakkuja (Glögi pitää sitten hakea Ikeasta, yhden piparin raaskin jo syödä)

3. 3 erikokoista kutomapuikkoa, sellaisia pyöreitä joilla on helppo tehdä vaikka kaulaliina tai pipo. Mukana oli myös virkkuukoukku... Tiiän mitä ostan kun tulen Suomeen jouluksi: matkalaukun täyteen lankoja?! Täällä langat on melko kalliita, eikä värivalikoima ole läheskään niin laaja ku Suomessa.

4. Äiskän virkkaama pannunalunen jossa oli ihana punainen sydän mukana (varmasti sekin oli itsetehty)

5. Pyykinpesupussi ohuille sukille(jotka aina jumittuu johonki kulmaan kun pesukone jyllää) ja alusvaatteille

6. LAKUJA!

7. Tyynynpäällinen (äiti ja iskä toivat mulle verhot ja yhden tyynynpäällisen, mulla on valitettavasti sängyn päällä kaksi sisustustyynyä). Ja äsken huomasin että äiti oli ommellut mulle ihanan meikkilaukun, samasta kankaasta kuin mun verhot ja tyynynpäälliset. Kiitti äiskä, tämä pussukka on tarpeen!

8. KRuoka, Yhteishyvä Ruoka ja Ruoka lehtinen. Mä kasailen nimittäin omaa "keittokirjaani" mun Marimekko vihkoon. Mallia otettu äitin 60- ja 70-luvun kokkailuvihkosta joka on vielä tänä päivänäkin kovassa käytössä. Sori Mia mut mä haluan sen vihkon sitten joskus omakseni ;)

9. RUUVIMEISSELEITÄ! Melkein paras osa koko paketin sisällöstä! Nämä olivat todella tarpeen koska me kasattiin pari viikkoa takaperin Ikean kaapisto saksien ja parin veitsen avustuksella ;) Nämä menevät säilöön ja käyttöä niille tulee varmasti!

Tässä oli tämän ihanan "pienen" paketin sisältö. Iso hali mun rakkaalle äiskälle sinne Saloon. Vain sä osaat kasata näin sydämellisen ja ihanan paketin omalle tyttärellesi tänne Itävaltaan. Paketteja ei tartte usein lähetellä, tämmöiset paketit lämmittää mun sydäntä pitkään! Iskä ja äiti, ootte mulle TOSI RAKKAITA! <3

Tässä kuva paketista:

Halloween 2011

On Monday was Halloween. Since the party last year was, to be really honest, shit, we decided to party it in a smaller group. There was only me, Lauriane, Alex, Julian and Stephan. We ended up looking at some seriously crappy Halloween films, eating, drinking and playing the game "who am I?". The idea of the game is that the others write a known persons/characters name on a paper and this paper is put to the forehead of one person(who does not of course know who he is). This person gets to ask questions but the only answer can be yes or no. In the end this person should be able to know, through the questions he/she has asked and the answers he/she has gotten, who he is.

Here the result of my work on my Halloween "outfit"

Hopefully everyone had a nice Halloween! :) I need to top next year my result of this year....

Hangar-7

On Sunday evening we decided to go for a coffee somewhere in the city. I did not want to go to the same old places where we always have been... I have heard from my friends that Hangar-7 near the airport should be a really nice place. So we decided to go even though it took over half an hour with the bus to get there. But it was seriously worth it... here some pictures from our evening:

I also enjoyed a menu, which consisted of a starter, main course and a dessert. It was awesome but in order not to look like some stupid turist, I decided not to take photos of my food :) But otherwise it was more than a success. And I got to see the KTM bike from Mika Kallio, a professional  finnish motorcyclist!!! It was way smaller than I thought but I just found it so cool!

Management bilanzieller Risiken

Last Friday we had our first exam of this semester.

We learned a lot for the exam but when it came time that the exam was there and we needed to write it, it was like Hell had broken lose... One of the exercises was just so unbelievable that each one of us was battling with it for a long time! The exam should have lasted 60minutes, but we sat there almost for two hours...

After living in fear of having to do a re-exam during the coming weeks, today during the morning we got an email that the notes were there: 

Sehr gut, for those whose German skills are a bit rusted: I got the best possible note! That is just (if I may cite Barney Stinson) AWESOME!!!

Mixing those kitchens..

So one evening after we have learned for our exam(that was last week Wednesday) M came to my place and we cooked.

A day before I had already done Rosolli. This is sort of a salad, which is traditional to have in the Christmastable on the 24th of December in Finland. Here a short explanation how rosolli is done:

You need:

1. Potatoes, carrots, beetroot, apples, pickels and if you can, onions

2. cook the potatoes, carrot and beetroot(I took it from the can, the german beetroot is better because it should be salted and should not have that weird taste that the austrian beetroot has: so to say, it has the "finnish taste" of beetroot)

3. cut apples and pickles to small cubes during the other ingredients are cooking

4. cut the potatoes and carrots to cubes also and add to the other ingredients

5. if you are using onions, cut it also to small pieces. It should be raw

6. Mix everything together and there you have it: ROSOLLI

The best "salad dressing" to rosolli is whipped cream where you mix the juice of the beetroots. So that it gets salty and has a nice redish colour

Here a photo of my rosolli:

The other salad which we did was potatosalad. Now all my Austrian friends are gonna say: potatoes, onions and vinegar. Well in Finland we do it another way: In my potatosalad comes potatoes, hard cooked eggs, pickels, mayonnaise and a mix of a bit of vinegar, some spices and even a bit of sugar. Here the end result: 

And to get to the topic of my post is that Ms' mother made Schnitzel and we cooked it then and ate it with our two salads. So may I present: Austrian kitchen meets the Finnish kitchen: 

And to end this post, I cannot wait till Christmas when I get to sit to our amazing Christmas table where you can eat till you cannot eat anymore?! Eli joulupöytää odotellessa ;)

Time to do some serious updating..

So since my last week and a half have been really busy, I am gonna do some serious blogging tonight. I am not gonna tell everything in one post... I'd rather post many smaller ones :)

So guys, enjoy: It's gonna be everything from a package to my scary Halloween costume!
