Suvi kadakate vahel

Kes   Triinu (53), Liisa (26) ja Maali (20) (pool selle suure pere lastest oli seekord laua ümbert puudu)

A Summer Morning Among Junipers

Who     Triinu (53), Liisa (26) and Maali (20) (half of the siblings of this big family was missing this time)

Where  The scenic village of Tõstamaa in Pärnu County, 25th June around 11 o'clock

What    Flyffy omelet with fresh chive, rye bread and brown bread with marmelade, cream cheese, pate, green salad, dill, tomato and cucumber, smooth cheese cake made by the mother, caramel cake, watermelon, coffee with milk.

When the kids were younger and went to Tõstamaa School the usual breakfast was porridge (manna, oat or rice). Sometimes during the weekends and days off of school pancakes were made and also sandwiches with rye bread, eggs and Baltic sprat.

Laulud, mis seda peret seovad, on näiteks "Ema pani supi sooja", aga ka "Põgene vaba laps". Kino ja täpsemini selle ajalugu on Tõstamaal ka praegu au sees ning Tõstamaa mõisahäärberis asuva kooli keldrikorrusel avati 2012. aasta juunis püsinäitus "Kino ajalugu esemetes", mille kohta saad vaadata vieolõiku siin.

The songs that unite this family are for example "Ema pani supi sooja" ("Mother put the kettle on"), but also  "Põgene vaba laps" ("Run, free child") from the very famous and much loved Estonian cinema classic "Viimne Reliikvia" (1969). Cinema and more precisely it's history is considered important in Tõstamaa also nowadays and in the basement of Tõstamaa School situated in the Tõstamaa manor house a permanent exhibition about the history of cinema through objects "Kino ajalugu esemetes" was opened in June, 2012. You can see a video of the exhibition here.

Pühapäev Nõmmel

Kes  Liisa (26) ja Indrek (29)
Kus  Nõmme, pühapäev 19. mai

Mis  See, mis oli alles värskest salatist tomati, kurgi, oliivide, juustu ja marineeritud sibulaga, mida olime eelmisel õhtul enne muuseumiööle minemist teinud, et öisteks kultuurielamusteks kõhtu täita; lisaks juustuvõileivad, Eesti Pagari Pealinna kook, ja kohv piimaga.

Kui Nõmme maja noor perenaine oleks tol hommikul saanud valida unelmate hommikusöögi, oleks see olnud luksuslik puuviljasalat. Peremees oleks võtnud pannkooke, ühed soolased ja teised magusad peale. Nii et järgmise korrani!


Sunday in Nõmme

Who     Liisa (26) and Indrek (29)

Where  Nõmme (Tallinn, Estonia), Sunday, 19th May

What   Leftovers from the fresh green salad with tomato, cucumber, olives, cheese and pickled onions that we prepared the night before to fill our bellies for museum night where we then headed; also rye bread with butter and cheese, the famous chocolate cake called Pealinna kook (means literary "The Cake of the Capital") by Eesti Pagar, and coffee with milk.

If the young lady of the house could have chosen a dream breakfast she would have picked a luxurious fruit salad. The master of the house would have had pancakes, first some salty ones followed up by some sweet ones. Until next time then!

Lauaks oli vana suur veskikivi. / The table was a big old millstone.

On maikuu hommik mereäärse linna vaikses aedlinnas, kus päike piilub männilatvade vahelt alla meie juurde. Selles Nõmme majas, mille kavandas ja ehitas vanaisa ise ja kus tütretütre jaoks valitseb tänini arhitektist papa ja tekstiilikunstnikust mamma vaim, kummitab Liisal mõttes laul "Miki merehädas", mida papa talle lapsena laulis (nagu vist tegid meie paljude teistegi vanaisad ja vanaemad, minu vanaema igatahes küll ka ja mulle meeldis see toona hirmsasti!). Laulavad Artur Rinne ja Stella Helder aastal 1936.

It's a morning in May in the quiet garden city of a town by the sea and the sun is creeping through the tops of the pine trees down to us. In this house in Nõmme (a garden suburb of Tallinn that is known by it's peaceful atmosphere and pine trees) that was designed and built by grandfather himself the spirits of grandpa who was an architect and grandma who was a textile designer are still very present for their granddaughter. Here Liisa is haunted by the tune from the song about Mickey Mouse being a castaway titled "Miki merehädas" that her grandpa used to sing to her when she was a child (as did, I suspect, the grandpas and grandmas of so many of  us, at least my grandma sang that to me as well and I loved it!). Here's the original recording of the song performed by the legendary Estonian singer Artur Rinne and Stella Helder in 1936.
