My food moments in 2014 – Ételek, pillanatok 2014-ben
Orange linzer cookies filled with jam – Narancsos töltött linzer keksz
One of the most versatile pastries, that always gives you good results, is the famous linzer. You make the dough, you cut out different shapes from it, and then decorate them reflecting the occasion. It can be a circle, a square with flouted edges, a heart, a star, a tree, or your favorite animal if you happen to have a cutter in its shape – anything you like, really.

Thanksgiving/birthday dinner at our house – Hálaadásnapi/születésnapi vacsora nálunk
Thanksgiving, this special American national holiday, is always the fourth Thursday of November. Family members (and often friends) get together over a big feast of turkey (even though in these days turkey meat is not necessarily served) and give thanks for the blessings of the year.
