Today together: April 1 – Együtt ma: Április 1
The year 2020 marks 27 years of shared adventures for Steve and me. Starting today, every day I will post a photo or memory or anecdote of something we have experienced together.
My first cookbook – Az első szakácskönyvem
The first cookbook I owned is the one my mother gave me when I started living on my own after college. It’s called Édeskönyv (Sweets) by Mária Hajková. It’s a baking book written in Hungarian, more precisely translated into Hungarian from Slovak, published in 1957. It promises that its 745 recipes will turn out good. Some of my very favorite desserts come from this book.
Thought on difficulties in math – Gondolat a matematika nehézségeiről
“Do not worry about difficulties in mathematics; I can assure you mine are still greater.” — Albert Einstein
Thought on good things — Gondolat a jó dolgokról
“Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.” — Swedish proverb
Thought on the origins of math – Gondolat a matematika forrásáról
“I am inclined to believe that one of origins of mathematics is man’s playful nature, and for this reason mathematics is not only a Science, but to at least the same extent also an Art.” — Rózsa Péter
Thought on man in nature – Gondolat az emberrről a természetben
“What is a man in nature? Nothing in relation to the infinite, all in relation to nothing, a mean between nothing and everything.” – Blaise Pascal
Floorcookies is 5 years old! – 5 éves a blog!
I wasn’t sure I had it in me. I wasn’t sure I would have the time to do it. But my blog turned 5 years old this year! I published my first real post (Hungarian sponge cake with fruit) on October 14, 2013.
Thought on mistake – Gondolat a hibáról
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” — Albert Einstein
The Panama Hotel and its tearoom – A Panama hotel és teázója
“Old Henry Lee stood transfixed by all the commotion at the Panama Hotel. What had started as a crowd of curious onlookers eyeballing a television news crew had now swollen into a polite mob of shoppers, tourists, and a few punk-looking street kids, all wondering what the big deal was.
Thought on love – Gondolat a szeretetről
“Smart man does not love because it is advantageous, but because love is, in itself, happiness.” — Blaise Pascal
Thought on small steps – Gondolat a kis lépésekről
Prayer by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Lord, teach me the art of small steps! I do not ask for miracles or visions, but I ask for strength for everyday life.
