A memory of my childhood Elizabeth Grünbaum
It was snowing outside and the bright winter sun shined into the room through the curtains. I woke up early that beautiful day, because there were guests coming over. Like in any other winter morning i
rushed to the window sill to see if the dwarves have left something in my christmas stocking. I remember exactly, what was in there that
day, it was kinder surprise . I liked kinder surprises a lot, because
the chocolate would melt in your mouth and there was a surprise between the two halves of the chocolate.
At 1 o' clock , the guests arrived. They were my grandparents. Guests brought pies made by grandma and a beautiful bunch of flowers since i'd just had my birthday a week before . Mother asked me to take out a
vase to put the flowers in the water. So i did and i climbed on top
of a chair to grab my favourite vase with blue flowers on it.
Suddenly i noticed a lot of sweets on the top shelf of the drawer and
also drawings i had drawn to santa claus . I shouted "mommy, is
this the dwarves' storage place ?" I was frustrated, because they
hadn't delivered my drawings to santa, but then mom explained that

"What kind of car?" I was suspicious of the way he said "good car for you" as opposed to just "good car." "Well, it's a truck actually, a Chevy." "Where did you find it?" "Do you remember Billy Black down at La Push?" La Push is the tiny Indian reservation on the coast. "No." "He used to go fishing with us during the summer," Charlie prompted. That would explain why I didn't remember him. I do a good job of blocking painful, unnecessary things from my memory. "He's in a wheelchair now," Charlie continued when I didn't respond, "so he can't drive anymore, and he offered to sell me his truck cheap." "What year is it?" I could see from his change of expression that this was the question he was hoping I wouldn't ask. "Well, Billy's done a lot of work on the engine -- it's only a few years old, really." I hoped he didn't think so little of me as to believe I would give up that easily. "When did he buy it?" "He bought it in 1984, I think."

into the kitchen and saw Cary swaying to the music while stirring something on the range. There was an open bottle of wine on the counter and two goblets, one of which was half-filled with red wine. "Hey," I called out as I got closer. "Whatcha cooking? And do I have time for a shower first?" He poured wine into the other goblet and slid it across the breakfast bar to me, his movements practiced and elegant. No one would know from looking at him that he'd spent his childhood bouncing between his drug-addicted mother and foster homes, followed by adolescence in juvenile detention facilities and state-run rehabs. "Pasta with meat sauce. And hold the shower, dinner's ready. Have fun?" "Once I got to the gym, yeah." I pulled out one of the teakwood barstools and sat. I told him about the kickboxing class and Parker Smith. "Wanna go with me?" "Krav Maga?" Cary shook his head. "That's hardcore. I'd get all bruised up and that would cost me jobs
British Cuisine Some people criticize English food. They say it's unimaginable, boring, tasteless, it's chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that British haven't had to invent sauces to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn't lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices. In most cities in Britain you'll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants. In London you'll also find Indonesian,
Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come him (correction: home) from work. Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come. There was a slow smiling air about her, and about everything she did. The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil. Her skin - for this was her sixth month with child - had acquired a wonderful translucent quality, the mouth was soft, and the eyes, with their new placid look, seemed larger darker than before. When the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few moments later, punctually as always, she heard the tires on the gravel outside, and the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window, the key turning in the lock. She laid aside her sewing, stood up, and went forward to kiss him as he came in. "Hullo darling," she said.
stimulate the appetite or to make it clean and fresh. The walls of the living room would be perfect in light blue or purple so that it would feel calm and soothing but also motivating because usually, I spend most of my time at home in the living room. I enjoy having a white bathroom and toilet, it feels clean and minimalistic. CHILD SAFETY AT HOME We all know to keep children away from hot stoves, irons and sharp objects but there is a lot more concerning child safety. For example, a million children in Britain every year require hospital treatment for accidents that happen at home. And most of these accidents could have been prevented if parents had been more careful. Falling, burns, drowning, choking and poisoning are the main causes of injuries at home and small children are the most at risk
