Happy Shrove Tuesday!

Hi there!

Today is Tuesday, February 25th and we celebrate Pancake Day Today!

In Britain, people eat pancakes along the day. In some towns there are also pancake races. People run through the streets holding frying pans with pancakes. Each runner throws the pancake into the air and catches it in the pan. The winner is the one who hold the pan having the whole pancake in the arrival.

Do you know that...?

• Another name for pancake Day is Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday.
• The world record for the biggest pancake is 15 metres in diameter and weighing 2.980 kilos

Anyway, if you want to cook delicious pancakes, I recommend you to watch this useful video in which my sister-in-law and her lovely grandson will show you an easy pancake recipe. Here you have the ingredients:

100g plain flour
a large egg
2 glasses of milk
1 baking power pack
2 spoons full of sugar
1tbsp of butter, 
a little oil for frying
some lemon juice (optional)

By the way, here you have the 10 best tools for cooking pancakes

Tintin celebrates his 90 birthday today!

The young reporter appeared for the first time in 1929 together with his lovely and amazing dog Snowy. 

From this post, I want to celebrate his birthday bringing to my mind an awesome activity that my husband made at his studio and also a drawing  he made in one of his studio's wall . All the pictures were taken while he was working there and at the end of the process I could be in his project.

Tintin will be always in my family's hearts. Thanks Hergé (Georges Prosper Remi)!

Have a gr8 PI Day!

Hi there,

we celebrate the PI number today and for celebrating this special day, I want to share with you the digits of PI mapped to notes in a melody, played on the piano.

Watch the video below and you will see how the tune is using the white keys assigned to the PI numbers. It looks like whoever is playing this harmonizing music on their own with the left hand.

Unbelievable!

Dickens' Day

Today, February 7th  is the 206th anniversary of the birth of English author Charles Dickens! Celebrations and public readings of his work are being held all over the world. We won't read any of his books but we are going to remember his most famous ones:

Oliver Twist: most people know the story of Oliver Twist. It is one of the most favourite books for children mainly after the movie's production.
David Copperfield: it is the tale of David Copperfield from his birth through to his maturity, what obstacles he faces in life and what friends he makes. With great characters it was Dickens' own personal favourite of all his novels.
A Christmas Carol: it's the classic story of how a bitter miser ( Mr. Scrooge) gets re-habilitated after being visited by three ghosts. The Ghosts' of Christmas Past, Present and Future show him visions of his life and of his influence on the others' life. On seeing things as they truly are, Scrooge changes his whole outlook on the world.

So, from now on, try to remember these three books from this famous writer, Charles Dickens!

Roald Dahl 100

To celebrate Roald Dahl birthday, let's take a trip down "Charlie and the chocolate factory", one of the most famous childhood stories.
