Gingerbread Tradition

We still have over a moth till Christmas, but those of you who are thinking about baking gingerbreads, have to prepare themselves early enough. It is essential to bake gingerbreads at least 3 weeks earlier, if you want them to be soft on Christmas day. Of course it all depends on the recipe and  measurements of the ingredients. Basic gingerbread’s dough should be composed of wheat flour, rye flour, honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. But  obviously exist millions of recipes, that may vary in different countries and regions.
The history of gingerbreads date back to ancient times, when their first version appeared in Romanian Imperium. In Middle Aggies they became more popular thanks to monasteries and monks who were importing spices from the east in times of crusades. The tradition of baking gingerbreads became more and more popular during the years, especially around Christmas time. We not only bake them but the most important part of process is decorating.
In Poland, one of the cities that comes to our mind when we talk about gingerbreads, it’s definitely Torun. For those of you who like both baking and gingerbreads: in Torun exists the Museum of Gingerbread when you can participate in an interactive show and create your own cookies.   

Nowadays in every shop we can buy different kinds of gingerbreads, with chocolate, marmalade, ect., but homemade gingerbreads are the tastiest ones. But remember not to wait till the last minute, cause no one wants to lose a tooth on hard like a rock cookie. You have to give them some time to get soft and ready to be consume 😉

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual. So, not to prolong: thing was happening in California. 67-years old woman was found in her house with wounds around her head and neck. Last person who saw her that day was her father, 80-years old Anthony Aiello. While asked about their meeting, he testified that they ate together and that they parted on good terms. Little did he know, that   his daughter wore a fitness tracker on her wrist. Smartwatches like this can show us how many steps we make during the day, what’s our daily calories intake and among many others: they can measure our heartbeat. So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...

Must read

Hi, guys! How's life? What have you been up to? If you by any chance found out how to be a productive person, please make sure to let me know, cause I'm still having difficulties with adopting to the fact that the academic year has officially begun. I, personally, have spent most of my summer reading crime stories and I just must admit that there's one, in particular, I enjoyed. Have you ever heard the name A.J. Finn? No? OK, so you have to change it, cause I can assure you, it'd be worth it. The book is called The Woman in the window . Anna Fox, the main protagonist,  is a middle-aged woman, living on her own in the beautiful house in the suburbs. She spends most of her days drinking wine and watching people. Yes, she's literally spying on her neighbours. And there wouldn't be anything interesting about that, were it not for the discovery she's about to make. The key word in describing this book would be: the truth. While reading it, we have the...

Spoons of Victory

Do you remember the  African  Vuvuzelas from the 2010  World  Cup? Well, Russia is no worse than RPA, they also have their special instrument for this occasion. 'Spoons of Victory': their shape resembles the letter 'V' like 'Victory' that they are about to achieve. The instrument was invented by Rustam  Nugmanov  and is supposed to help tapping the rhythm of the songs without causing as much  rumour  as  Vuzuelas . The 'Spoons' are made  entirely out of the wood  and look more  like a kitchen  supplies  than something that  imitates  the sound.  Fans  can  bring them to the match and if they don't own one, it can be purchased at the venue.  Do  you  think  they'll repeat the success of  Vuzuelas ?
