  20. Sandra, ne znam odakle da počnem. Prvo, srećan ti Mother's Day. Drugo, divim ti se na energiji s kojom spremaš hranu. Ja da imam troje dece, ne bih stigla ni jaja da ispržim. Treće, deca su ti pljunuta ti. :) Četvrto, odlične su fotografije, a jelo na visokom standardu, kao što se očekuje, posebno mi se dopadaju ova jaja u tankim korama. Na kraju, ovo pismo tvoje ćerke me je ipak najviše oduševilo i razgalilo. Poljubi je jednom od mene.

  21. E, da, još nešto. Imam čak i savet. :) Ako hoćeš da ti borovnice budu ravnomerno raspoređene po mafinu, a da ne padnu na dno testa, prethodno ih dobro uvaljaj u brašno (najbolje je da brašno za mafine staviš u kesicu, pa borovnice unutra, zatvoriš kesicu i protreseš, pa sjediniš s ostalim sastojcima).
