I like to cook. You could even say I love it. For this, I have a lot of favourite dishes. For example, I love to cook risotto. With mushrooms, peas and carrots, pumpkin, vegetables, or tomato risotto. Generally, with whatever I have in the fridge. But thinking about a favourite dish, I’d probably say it’s Swedish Gravlax (marinated salmon) with sauce. I always make this dish for Christmas Eve. My daughter lives in another country, and we do not meet very often, but she is always home on Christmas. I think all this – Christmas tree and the whole home decorating, waiting for my daughter to arrive, the gifts, the old Lithuanian and Polish traditions, the delicious dish at last – creates the magic of Christmas. I can state that Gravlax is my favourite dish.

I didn’t have a “to-do list”, but if I did one, a drawing course would be at the top. I am completely unable to draw, and I dream of painting watercolour. Maybe after admitting here, I will finally start such a course. Keep your fingers crossed!

Yes, there are some different ways to play in my life. I play Sudoku ans Game of Words (in three languages) games on my mobile to improve memory and concentration. But the best “playtime” to me is when I meet with my friends to play board games. One of my favourites is Ticket to Ride (I have the USA version, my frinds – Europe); Cluedo, of course, and our last love – Mysterium game we bought beford Christmas.

When my daughter is at home (she lives in another country).

The last thing I did for fun was playing Mysterium board game with my family.

I have dreamed of visiting Thimphu and the whole Bhutan country.
