Hello Evdokia!

I am really glad you wrote to me. You seem really nice and I can't wait to get to know you!

You asked me about the weather here. This time of year it is about +15 degrees here. The sun is shining and the snow is melting. As you also said, the weather is cool in the mornings, but it warms up during the day.

You wanted to know what I do in my free time; so, I can tell you. I'm often at home with my family and our dog. I also like sports, so I go to the gym. Of course, I also meet my friends and hang out with them.

If you want to, you can add me on Snapchat and Instagram so that we can continue chatting. I hope to hear from you again soon!

Hi Irene!

Thanks for the cards. It was very interesting to heard about your culture.

In our country at Easter children goes to "Virpomaan". Virpominen means children go knocking on doors, dressed as a cat or a witch, for example and then when someone open the door they say poetry "Virvon varvon tuoreeks terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, vitsa sulle palkka mulle". After this children give vihta to resident and resident gives candy or coins to children.

You asked us about our favorite places. Jessica's favorite places are beaches or some very kind forest. Nella's favorite places are maybe beaches.

Our comprehensive school end in two weeks. In Autumn we start new school. We go to vocational school.

if we don't communicate anymore, we wish you all the best for the rest of your life.

Best regards

Nella & Jessica

Hi Lambrini!

It was so nice to hear from you again! How have you been?

We have only two and a half weeks school left. It feels really weird because I won't be returning to this school in the autumn. I will go to the upper secondary school, I get a new class and hopefully also new friends. If you want to, I can tell you in the autumn what my new school is like :)

I hope we still keep in touch and you let me know how you feel.

Best regards,

Hi Giannis! Thanks for the card and the magnet. I have been dreaming of magnets with pictures from abroad for a long time.

Our summer vacation starts on the first of June. Our class is finishing elementary school this year. There has been a lot to do in the spring, but it is a relief to know that it is almost over. After the summer vacation, we head to the secondary school of our choice. So we have to say goodbye to our current school.

It has been very nice and instructive to communicate with you. It is sad that our time is coming to an end. I wish you all the best for the future!

Our traditional Lagana bread for Clean Monday

# data[].attributes.subject
Our traditional Lagana bread for Clean Monday

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Clean Monday or Kathara Deftera (in Greek) is the day that marks the beginning of Orthodox Lent, during which people fast until Easter.

According to tradition, Greeks cook fasting dishes such as tarama, eggplant salad (recipe in our e-cookbook), olives, dolmades (recipe in our book), giant beans (recipe in our book), etc.

And of course, the traditional flatbread for this day, lagana, is not missing from the table!

Lagana

We love laganes (or lagana in singular), and we prefer them crunchy, and not too bready. They are delicious the same day or the following ones (you can also warm them for a few minutes in the oven).

They accompany perfectly homemade & plant-based cheese (new recipes coming soon!), olives, avocado and sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, etc.

Lagana with homemade & plant-based cheese

Traditional Lagana (Greek Flatbread for Clean Monday)

Pelagia & Mary - Greek Appetite

In a bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar and yeast, cover with a towel and leave it for about 20 minutes to activate the yeast.

It is important that the water is neither hot nor cold but lukewarm so that yeast can be activated.

Once it is ready, place it in a deep bowl together with the flour and shape it by pouring a little oil in your hands. The dough will be sticky. Cover it and leave it aside to rise or in a closed, but preheated oven at 50° C, for about 30 minutes.

When ready, prepare the dough stretching in a baking tray on parchment paper.

Add a little flour to the parchment paper and use the rest of the 45 gr. to shape the dough. You can now add the salt.

Divide the dough into 2 parts and open them with the rolling pin into 2 laganes or a large one.

We want the laganes to be crunchy and not too bready, so we stretch them a lot with the rolling pin. Cover them and let them aside or in a closed, but preheated oven at 50° C, for about 30 minutes in order for them to rise.

When ready, preheat the oven to 200° C and prepare the coating mixture.

Dissolve the sugar in water and brush it all over the surface of the lagana, where you add the sesame seeds and press with your fingers to make dimples.

Bake at 200° C (depending on the oven) for about 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave them there for a few minutes.

Hello, Niila!You are right!Breaking plates was a Greek habit that reached its peak in the 60s and 70s. It was mostly common in nightclubs and was done as a sign of having a lot of fun.  In the 90s it went on for a while along with throwing flowers on the singers of the clubs and it was a sign of wealth and fun because it was really expensive!The dishes that were meant to be broken were  not like the ones that we use in the kitchen. They were  made of plaster to prevent injuries!

Hey!

It’s Niila again. During my Christmas holiday I celebrated Christmas, I chilled at home because for a week it was from -40 to -30 degrees out there. Freezing! I also set off fireworks, played video games, fixed and tuned my moped, and watched movies.

Today at school we played Kahoot and it claimed that you guys in Greece break dishes. Is it true?

And there is of course my bike - cool - am I right?

Hello everyone!

On New Year's Eve I spent time with my family. We don't have a lot of New Year's traditions so we just enjoyed each other's company. We weren't outside much during the day because it was very cold. We only went outside when the midnight hour came closer. We drove to the city to watch a firework show. On the way there we watched a New Year's broadcast in the car. Once we got to the city the show had already begun but it didn't matter because we only missed the beginning. Overall, I had a great time celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Jutta

# data[].attributes.body
Happy New Year!

One of our New Year's traditions is to write the numbers of the new year with sparklers in the sky. To get on the camera requires many takes because the numbers may look too messy. We usually do this after setting off fireworks.

I enjoyed a pleasant New Year's Day surrounded by family and friends.

At the beginning of the day we went ice skating. Although it was quite cold outside it didn't bother me. For lunch we ate ham pie and salad which we made ourselves.

As the evening approached we got into a festive mood. I saw a lot of colorful fireworks from the window of my home set off by neighbors. We didn't set off fireworks ourselves but we had sparklers.

In the evening we cooked a really good dinner, played board games and enjoyed each other's company.

Shortly - a pretty successful New Year's Day!

Hello precious darling strangers!

Everything is normal again, I feel better about being in school and the sun isn’t shining.

School has always been a nice place for me. I know the teachers are insufferable with some exceptions, including Teija (I swear I’m not a suck up). I know that homework and exams are too much and cause me to cry sometimes, and I hate going outside during breaks like all the kids, but it’s great otherwise.

I love looking at the ugly and/or soulless patterns on the floors. I love doodling in my notebook while the teachers talk about something important but boring. And the thing I am the most fond of is the constant chatter in class that continues until the teacher has a breakdown and yells.

I am honestly surprised that I have gotten this far with such good grades. I put from little to no effort into studying and homework. I mean, I don’t basically even do my homework. I just quickly scribble things into my notebooks two minutes before the lesson starts. I don’t get how I’ve gotten away with it for this long.

In the photo is one of my notebooks. It’s in a much better condition than my other notebooks. They look like the walls of public toilets. I’m not an amazing artist and I could never be one, but god, I love art. I was pissed off when it ended in 7th grade.

Anywho, thanks for reading this stream of consciousness about the topic “my school day.”

Ciao, Laura

Every day I usualy wake up at 6:30 a.m. I eat my breakfast, dress up and then I go to the bus station at 7:15 a.m., because the school bus passes by 7:22-7:25. We arrive at school at 7:50 and the ring bells at 8:00. We attend a lot of lessons including musical instruments, Art, P.E (Physical Education) and a lot of others too. On Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays school finishes at 14:30 but on Tuesdays and Thursdays we finish at 15:00. I eat lunch at school made by an excellent catering restaurant-cafe at 12:40-13:00.

My New Year's Eve was pretty peaceful. I just rested and did some selfcare things. I spent a lot of time wit my family and myself. I played boardgames with my sisters and cooked some good meals. I love reading, so I also read a lot of my books.

I also continued my story that I've been writing since July 2023. It's nowhere close to the end, but we're getting there.

And then, because the weather was so beautiful, I went for a walk. The sky was so pretty and the air was so cold and fresh.

So no crazy partying or anything, I just chilled at home.

Here is a picture of my favorite book. It's called Shatter Me and it's 1st. in a series. I really recommend this book, you can read it in English.

We are Veikka and Tuomas and we did a lot on our Christmas holiday!
We drove snowmobiles until it got freezing outside. On New Year's Eve it was about minus 52 Celsius degrees. Just joking - it was “only” -35 Celsius degrees.

We saw many rockets and fireworks. Tuomas also tried to fix his broken dirt bike.

We ate a lot of Christmas food (ham, salted salmon, swede casserole, salads and julmust). We also slept a lot and did many more fun things.

Happy New Year 2024!

Here is a video of the fireworks we shot.

I spend every New Year’s Eve with my family at home or our cabin. This year we were at home.

My New Year's traditions include shooting fireworks at home, eating boiled sausages and burning sparklers.

This year - just before the year turned - I walked with my brothers to see the Snow Hotel’s fireworks. They were really beautiful. But we were a little bit cold because it was 25 degrees below zero at the time.

Since then the severe frosts have continued and during the Christmas holidays we had up to 40 degrees below zero.

My family's New Year's traditions are eating sausages and potato salad and shooting fireworks. And, of course, we also cast tins. We spend our New Year's at home.

The holidays are over and everything is back to normal, but I would like to take a moment to talk about my New Year.

It was good. I have had better New Years, but this one could’ve been much worse, so I’ll take what I can get. I was at my grandmother’s place to meet some family members who rarely make an appearance, which gave me an excuse to not to be at home. It was pretty fun. My aunt is a fun person to be around and her husband is a jolly guy. It’s especially nice to see them show signs of affection, something that my parents don’t do too often.

Anyway, we spent most of the day indoors, since it was a little over -30℃, so we wanted to avoid freezing. In the evening we went to some kind of celebration (?) that was outside. Most of the people were strangers to me, so I hung around my cousins and my aunt.

There was some guy, who was probably much older than me, but I thought that he was cute (people tell me I have no taste, but who cares?). I wanted to talk to him, but I decided not to, since he was probably just to watch the fireworks.

They were beautiful and gave me a super nice feeling although my fingers and toes were about to freeze off.

We came back to grandma's home at 10 P.M.

Happy New Year, you amazing people!

Unfortunately, holidays are gone and we now have to come back to school. Well, in my daily life I usually spend more than 8 hours to school from Monday to Friday and I often rest in the Weekends unless if I take part in some kind of concert for Music school of Rhodes. The weather is good here and It's like Spring is already here.

We put up our Christmas tree yesterday evening. Every 20th of December me and my family bring a real spruce inside and decorate it together.

We don't want to have a plastic tree, in fact we have never had a plastic tree. Some of our ornaments are made by members of my family. Our tree definitely looks different.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

the morning. In here Sinettä it could be -30 degrees celcius. Today was only -10 degrees celsius. I’ts always dark in the morning when its mid winter. Our way to school is one kilometer and we walk or go with bikes. In this picture we are ready for new school day.

There could be big Polarbear in our way, very dangerous.(Joke)

This is me walking to school at 8:20 in the morning. Our school day always starts at 8:30. I live close to my school and it takes me around five minutes by walking to get there.

In wintertime we in the north have this thing called the polar night which means that the sun doesn't rise over the horizon. Now we have sunlight for only three hours a day and it's still decreasing. So, it would be dark to walk to school without the street lights.

The first thing that I do in the morning, when I wake up, I go downstairs to see my dog, Toffe. He is "a morning person" and likes to wake up early.

Usually I give him a bone which he is eats for the whole morning until I leave for school. I get myself ready and eat breakfast after which I take him out for a short walk.

My breakfast this morning: a bowl of yoghurt, muesli and berries and, of course, a Moomin mug of tea. What was special about this morning: freshly baked rolls - at this point they were still in the oven.

Hi! Here you can see Northern lights. I have taken this photo from our yard. I took this picture in October.

Now there is really snowy in Lapland and about -10 degrees below zero.

Greetings from Viivi!
