Book review:Don't call it night(Amos Oz)

Hey guys!I've recently finished reading this book which I received as a prize from one of my ex-teachers.This is the first time I've ever read a book by an Israeli author. Goodreads says:" In this “extraordinary novel from a great and true voice of our time” (Washington Post), a teenage drug overdose throws a closely knit Negev Desert settlement into turmoil - and tests the limits of a precarious love affair. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Translated by Nicholas de Lange." I say:The book centers around the relationship between a 45 year old woman(Noa) and a 60 year old man(Teo) who live together in a small town in Israel in the middle of the desert :Tal Keidar.She is a teacher and one of her students,a shy 17 year old boy,dies of a drug overdose.The boy's father,who lives in Nigeria,comes back to Israel and askes Noa to open up a rehabilitation center in Tal Keidar in memory of his son.From now on the story focuses on the struggles Noa has to

Euro 2012 Finale!

On July 1st Euro 2012 is coming to an end!Too bad,I enjoyed all the games but unfortunately the team I am supporting was kicked out of the competition last night by Italy.I admire Germany for the way they fought till the end and I hope to see them fight again in Brazil in 2014:) Meanwhile,Spain and Italy are in the finale!Do you want to see Spain win a trophy again after Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup or do you want to see the "squadra azzura"stop Spain from achieving this amazing performance?I would like to know your opinion in the comments :) May the best win!

Sweet Summer Recipe!

Hi guys!Lately I've been curious about different desserts I can make.I really love Tiramisu but I thought"Why not experiment?" and I tried something with pineapples,ladyfingers and cocoa cream.So this is what I used: -200 grams of ladyfingers -canned pineapples(1) For the cocoa cream: -150 grams butter  -3 spoons of powder sugar -1 egg -3 full spoons of cocoa powder Take a bowl and mix the butter with sugar.Then add the egg and the cocoa powder.I used almond essence ,too.You can put rum essence or not put anything at all.You leave the canned pineapple in the can but you let the pineapple syrup drop out in another bowl.You take a big plate and put a layer of ladyfingers that you have previously soaked in pineapple syrup.Next you put a layer of cocoa cream and lastly a layer of pineapple bits.You repeat this process till you're out of ingredients:) To be honest,mine was way too sweet for my taste .If you want to make it less sweet I recommend you
