My friend Johanna held a costume party for her birthday. The theme was Favourite Book Character. My initial thoughts were all in the lines of my beloved Marvel characters like Deadpool, Spider-man or Loki (comic books are books too!), but let’s face it, I really don’t have the physique to play a superhero. Unless I play Pandapool, but no xD
So I chose Tiffany Aching from Terry Pratchett’s “The Wee Free Men,” because firstly, it felt doable, and secondly, because I really liked that book and the characters when I read it years ago. My own getup was pretty easy… or so I thought. Finding a blue dress and getting a frying pan from the cupboard were simple but finding a suitable apron in this day and age was not simple at all. Eventually the apron turned out to be the hardest part of the entire costume. The apron I finally found was not perfect, but it did the job I guess.
I thought it would be great if I had a Nac Mac Feegle accompany me to the party, so I turned an old Kinder Surprise egg Smurf toy into one 😀
This is what the Smurf looked like, before I started cutting and gluing stuff. I shamelessly stole this pic off Ebay however, as I forgot to take my own photo 😦
I named him Ol’ Nobody 😀
Isn’t he charming?
Crivens!
Lovely sunshine, good huntin’, nice pretty flowers, and wee burdies goin’ cheep!
I haven’t put this much effort into a costume in forever. It was super fun. So I am hoping my friends will hold more costume parties in the future, so I could put together more costumes and play dress up again 😀
Handmade pelmeni and a turnip pastry from a Finno-Ugric grandmother 😀 Shared these with hubby, he ate most of the pastry, because I am not a big fan of turnip.
A green smoothie with spinach from 
Blueberry bagel with cream cheese. This was so delicious!
Churros! We ate most of them, before I remember to take a photo xD
Chicken paella. It was a bit cold and dry but tasted good.
Ice cream from 
Boo!
Baked fish with garlic cream cheese and some salad with puffed millet and mushrooms. The puffed millet was kind of lame in the salad, but it was worth a shot I guess.
Some quark pancakes.
Coffee and Pavlova cake. I bought my mom a Pavlova cake for Mother’s Day and of course helped her to eat it :p and always like a good daughter, spilled coffee on the clean blanket we sat on xD
ÖselBirch birch water with aronia juice. This was a nice and refreshing drink.
Opened this pack of pineapple candy to share. It was good!
Salad with sprouts, grilled couscous-chia seed sausages and grilled corn.
More salad and grilled smoked wieners.
Walpurgis Night
This drawing happened when a friend of mine mistyped the word “koorik” (crust) and the result sounded like some mythical beast howling near your house at 4am and disturbing your sleep.
