Party snacks: Armenian style

Hey Gentle Readers.

We had a few people over to our place on Friday for a few drinkies to celebrate Lena's birthday.

Lena made a few nice snacks.

Snack 1. Cheesy Lavash

No cooking required. Take a small piece of Armenian lavash and spread cream cheese on it. Cut up some cucumber, ham, spring onion, dill and grate some hard cheese and place on the lavash. Roll up the lavash and cut into equal sized pieces.

Snack 2. Pizza Ring

Take a round bread and cut in half through the middle. Grate some cheese and slice upsome ham and place on the bread. You could add other ingredients if you wish.
Drizzle some ketchup onto the cheese and ham. Put the top half of the bread back on and bake in a preheated oven at 200 celcius for about 15-20 minutes.

They were super simple to make and tasted great.

UK trip

Hello Gentle Readers.

As I write this, Lena, Robert and I are sitting in terminal B of Brussels international airport waiting for our next flight to London Heathrow.

We are heading to the UK to see my family and to just chill out. In China, we could only get back once a year so being in Yerevan means we can see our family more often.

Over the next few days we will post videos on Youtube and I will post more too.

Stay tuned.

Wednesday Thought: Jigsaw Puzzles

Hello Gentle Reader. For Christmas, Robert's Grandad bought him a jigsaw puzzle. The 1000 piece Ravensburger Grand Canal in Venice to be precise and tonight we opened it up and started it.

This got me thinking about puzzles of all kinds. So here for you are some other thoughts about puzzles and their importance.

Another writer in the family

Hello Gentle Readers

Robert has started writing a novel and I want to share with you the beginning. Please feel free to comment your thoughts.

Brave 4 and the aliens.

Chapter 1.

Suddenly everyone in a space prison nr 3 heard a really loud alarm. Few minutes later the guards understood that 4 prisoners escaped.

Colonel Starr was at home preparing to go on holidays but he was informed about the escaped prisoners. Starr was told to come back to work immidiately. Five hours later strong 2.5 meters tall proud-looking guy reported to the governer of the space prison.

Governer Green: Good evening, Colonel Starr. Thank you for coming so quickly.

Starr: No problem, governer Green. It's my pleasure. So tell me about the escaped prisoners.

Governer Green: So, 4 prisoners escaped from the cell number 13.

Colonel Starr: Tell me more. What are their names?

Governer Green: They are known by names - Belle, Lassie, Baby and Hans. Not their real names, but that's what they call themselves.

Colonrl Starr: Do we know where are they heading to?

Governer Green: Well, it looks like they are heading to the edge of the universe.

Colonel Starr: Are there any inhabbited planets there?

Governer Green: There is one small planet - Earth they call it.

Colonel Starr: Understand. I am on my way.

Governer Green: Good luck!

Few days later on Earth.
