  • Marble Cake (repost)

    I posted this in November of last year and few days ago we were making marble cake again and I thought it would be a good idea to post this again, in case someone missed it or wanted to refresh their memory on how to make a good marble cake.

    I'm gonna show you how to make marble cake.

    THIS IS MY MOM'S SECRET RECIPE SO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!!!

    What you'll need to make this is:

    300 grams of butter (if you got 250 grams make sure to add to this 50 mililiters of cooking oil)
    375 grams of flour
    275 grams of sugar
    5 eggs
    1 small bag of baking powder
    Milk
    Cocoa, preferably Nesquick.

    You'll need later for topping 200 grams of dark chocolate and ~250 grams of butter

    Let's get cooking.

    But before we start there is 1 IMPORTANT RULE you need to remember!!!

    DO NOT EAT THE MIXTURE COUSE YOU WON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT TO MAKE THE CAKE WITH!!!

    Take 300 grams of butter and put it in a mixing bowl. If you got only 250 grams add another 50 mililiters of cooking oil.

    Now, get milk out of the fridge and stir everything together. Add milk to the mixture as you see fit, you can't go wrong.


    Make sure to watch the video and to put the volume to low couse you'll get a lot of noise. It will show you the entire process.





    Now that that is done take a frying pan and put wax paper on it. Once that is done take 2 thirds of the mixture and put it in the frying pan.

    Now, even out the mixture in the frying pan.


    DSC00972


    Now add the Nesquick mixture to it.


    DSC00973


    Even that out.


    DSC00974


    It should look something like this.


    DSC00975


    Put that in the oven. Turn the heat to 180 degrees celzius for 45 minutes. We use a gas oven and we put the heat on 4.


    DSC00978

    DSC00977


    Now do something for 45 minutes.


    Wash the dishes you used and eat the leftover mixture that you forgot to scoop up. It's not a lot but it makes a guy happy :)





    Now to make the topping.

    You got the ingredients at the beginning now let's look at some pics.

    Take a pot and put it in the oven and set temperature to minimum, once you put dark chocolate and butter in.

    If you have sprinkles feel free to add them, it will be so much better to eat the cake once it cools off.


    Enjoy the cake.

  • Zagor Tenay


    Zagor is a comic book hero, which I kinda grew up with. In this post I will show you a little bit about this hero who was popular in my part of the world for many years and still holds one of the top spots when it comes to comic book heros.

    I hope you'll enjoy this presentation, which was mostly taken from wikipedia.





    Zagor is an Italian comic book created by editor and writer Sergio Bonelli (pseudonym Guido Nolitta) and artist Gallieno Ferri. Zagor was first published In Italy by Sergio Bonelli Editore in 1961.


    Zagor's real name is Patrick Wilding; he is the son of Mike and Betty. He is a western character living in an imaginary forest named Darkwood, located in Pennsylvania, north eastern United States.

    His name Zagor comes from its Indian name "Za-Gor Te-Nay", whose fictional meaning is "The Spirit with the Hatchet".





    Though the writers don't mention exact dates, Zagor is supposed to be active during the first half of the 19th century, or around 1825–1830. Zagor fights to maintain peace over all his territory, protect the Indian tribes and hunt down criminals. Son of an army official retiring to live as a pioneer and trapper in the forests of the north-east, Patrick Wilding sees his parents die at the hands of a band of Abenaki Indians, led by Salomon Kinsky. Taken in by the middle-aged trapper nicknamed "Wandering Fitzy", the boy grows up with only one thought on his mind: revenge.

    Fitzy teaches him how to make a deadly weapon out of a hatchet, and when he is old enough to fulfill this he finds out that his father had himself slaughtered many Indians, and the boy's understanding of the relativity of the concepts of good, evil and justice compels him to transform himself (with his accomplices the Sullivans, a family of acrobats who are his image makers) into Za-Gor-Te-Nay. Better still, shortened, Zagor.





    He is a kind of avenger always ready to side with the weak and the oppressed, whether red, white or black, whoever they may be.

    Moving his shack to an island surrounded by quick-sand in a marshy area of Darkwood Forest, Zagor begins his work as a peacemaker.

    Zagor isn't your typical western character, there's a mix of horror and sci-fi side by side with a bit of humour coming mostly from his sidekick Chico, a short, fat Mexican man who became his best friend. His full name is "Don" Chico Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales.





    Even though Zagor is popular in Italy, it is even more popular in Croatia and Serbia, where it is being published to this day, being also published in other former Yugoslav republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Slovenia. In former Yugoslavia, Zagor was published by Serbian Dnevnik in its Zlatna Serija edition from 1968. Although not as popular, Zagor comics are also published in Austria.

    Zagor is one of the most popular comic heroes in Turkey since the 1960s. Three unofficial Zagor movies have been produced in Turkey during 1970's.[1] Zagor was also published in Greece and in Israel in the 1970s, where, during that time, Tex Willer {who was also popular in Croatia and still is with some readers} was published as well.

    {part added by me}
    Pictures were found by simple Google search.


    A couple of Serbian amateur film makers also made a short movie about Zagor called Zagor - Chief Without Tribe which can be viewed on youtube. The movie is in Serbian and has English subtitles.

    And as the deal is with most of Serbian movies, they don't lack in humor or foul language.


    Please note that foul language is not part of the Zagor comic books.

  • 2nd Shot at Mystery

    If you haven't read the first part you can go read it HERE.

    Took me a while to work out the details in my head, but I think I finally have it made right.




    _________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Darkness faded as light filled my eyes. Everything was blurry at first but after a few minutes of getting used to light I noticed I was laying in a hospital room.

    I found a button and called a nurse.

    She came in slowly. A typical Dalmatian middle aged nurse brought me a glass of water and asked if I'd like breakfast.

    I turned it down and started looking for my cell phone. She opened a drawer in the night stand and I saw my wallet and my cell phone. The wallet remained in tact. Nothing was stolen. No surprise there. Typical ghetto ruffians didn't steal chop change.

    The nurse gave me the morning papers and told me doctor is gonna come see me in few minutes.

    I looked at the local section and found nothing about ghetto crimes from night before.

    No surprise there either. Local papers only report serious crimes when there are some to report.

    Few traffic accidents, local politics didn't change much and Hajduk lost another game they could of won.

    Doctor came in and looked at me.

    He checked my eyes and breathing and told me I can be on my way, they just need to sign release papers.

    I walked out to a sunny day outside.

    I walked to the bus station and got on the first bus in the general direction of my home.

    Spring came and the day just started.

    It is nice to be alive.

  • St. Domnius Day




    St. Domnius Day is celebrated in Split every May 7, for the past 1700 years.

    He is Saint Patron of Split and can also be seen on the crest of the city.

    Since the holiday is local, all schools in town are closed and even some of the shops have been known to close down for the day to spend a day with family.

    The cathedral named for him is located in the center of the city in the middle of the Diocletian's palace who built it (the palace) as his summer house.

    The morning service is a procession of local county clerics and every year a different person gives out a mass to the crowd in front of the cathedral.





    Every year peddlers go out and sell wooden products on the main marketplace.

    The afternoon Bingo! game has been a tradition for many years.


    Most people tend to forget real Domnius. The man who chose to follow Jesus with all of his life, heart and soul.

    Domnio came to Rome with Saint Peter and was then sent by Peter to evangelize Dalmatia, where he was martyred along with 7 soldiers he had converted.[1]

    He was thrown to the lions by emperor Diocletian, in a small arena which ruins can still be seen today.

    His bones lye in mausoleum which Diocletian built for himself.
