So, how should I
start? How can I tell you the fact that can be squeezed in a single sentence
(“You can read my recipe on the Hungarian food blog Zizi kalandjai”) in sentimental,
funny, boastful, play-obsessed styles or even in a long version? I would just
skip the last one immediately, I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody, and I don’t
have the mood to type it, either.
1. “Since Zita has
given birth to the most beautiful baby in the world, she asked me to write a
post for her page, so that her blog would remain active while she is in the
most beautiful phase of her entire life and spends all time possible with her
baby in the ocean of the strongest emotions and feelings through their intimate
togetherness. Needless to say, these years were the most beautiful time in my
life as well, and I wish that she could also enjoy all moments of this period
to the full.”
2. “Zita has also met
her destiny in the form of a baby. Now she thinks that she can redeem the whole
world and her baby will never cry and storm because she is prepared to handle
all kinds of situations (I also thought the same…) and her baby will have the
best sleep habits in the world (because why shouldn’t babies fall asleep at 8
pm if we exhaust them well… I am glad if my kids go to bed at 11 pm), and the
house will always be clean and shiny (because we did not have enough time for
that when we used to work, but now… at our home, I am happy if I don’t find pieces
of spaghetti behind the bed, but let’s be positive, at least I find them). So I
have written a post for her blog.”
3. “I got an e-mail with the news that the
author of the blog Zizi kalandjai (Zizi’s Adventures) was expecting a baby.
Hearing this, I was really glad and I immediately started to create a new
recipe. I was thinking about what would be in season approximately at that
time, and now I am happy to present to you this creamy aubergine with honey,
garlic and figs, I hope you will like it. The aubergine is in perfect harmony
with the strong contrast of the honey and the garlic, with the sweetness of the
figs and with the hot chili paprika. I hope the recipe is exciting enough. It
will take only some minutes to prepare. Enjoy it and I wish joy and pleasure to
Zita.”
4. “The moment I was
waiting for has finally arrived: My recipe is on Zizi kalandjai (Zizi’s
Adventures). In connection with this, I invite you to play with me. Just like
the Facebook page of my blog (sharing the page is not required, but of course I
would be grateful for that) and write a comment here on the blog telling me
what your favourite sandwich is which also contains some figs and aubergine,
and possibly some garlic as well. So I wait for these comments until tomorrow
noon at the latest via e-mail, and then I draw the winner either using slices
of papers with names (of course I will also attach a photo which will document the
authenticity of the drawing) or using the usual random.org, the authenticity of
which is also unquestionable. And the winner will get a piece of fig which was
grown in our garden.”
You can read the
recipe here together with a short interview. But I think I should have included
this information in the boastful part.
