Kishapsi!

Yes, my sister is now a double-grandma, little Hani has a little brother called Ferenc Janos, born on the 30th, and he is beautiful and doing very well all the things babies do. I am very much looking forward to seeing him next saturday, when I'll be in Budapest again, also to meet son Martin, who's arriving for a xmas hol. stay before starting his next adventure, I mean, his next job, in Florida.

Yes, we are in pre-xmas period, Mikulas, the Hungarian version of Santa arrived last night to the village, as all the thrown away szalon-cukor wrappings and tangerine skins on the street evidenced this annual event.

We were asked to help to download yet another lot of EU donated goodies on Friday morning; after a 2 hours wait the truck arrived - and took more than an hour to chain-pass everything to the store-rooms, a good few tons of sugar, flour, pasta, milk, cheese...
No sign of macesz this time. Walking home we moticed a first for the village - a parking bar thingie - stopping other people to park on this particular entrance - hm... we are getting into urban
weirdness round here...
Talking about being into overcompensating and nasty consumerism;
we bought a new telly after about a year of getting ready for the deed, Dodi brought it home for us, its an 82cm LCD samsung and it is beautiful, you can actually see the ball for tennis and football, not to mention subtitles. But not too big, it is just right! And we managed to set it up. Doctor Who looked so much better... Not to mention Crouching Tiger...
Also mention at this technical wonders section, that I managed to transfer money from our account via the internet - a major feet indeedy...
and, and - Martin and Sharon did a fantastic job at overhauling our website - just look at it: www.ecohun.com

And a bit of farm-section to sneak in: guest billy goat went home yesterday, let's hope that Miska is doing his bit, we read at a goat-website, that often they do it at night when nobody looks.

As we have some beautiful savoy cabbages and we just cannot eat that much kelkáposzta főzelék, I thought I replace spinach in the greek cheese/egg flat pie - type of thing recipe with the cabbage, and it turned out to be delicious. Let's hope it wasn't just the "first time lucky" thing.
Pictures include the overboard xmas Arkad in Pecs, a pool-playing concentrating Dodi, an autumn Kiskassa byroad view from Mustafa's car, the weird parking block and of course, the brand new addition to the family.
