How to relax during the May holidays so as not to get tired

The fresh air is known to awaken the appetite. If there is a barbecue at your destination, use one of the these recipes. If not, prepare sandwiches for the whole group in advance.

Boil the eggs (it will take you 7-8 minutes). Then rinse them with cold water to help them cool faster.

Slice the bread thinly. Peel the eggs and crumble them. Add mustard powder, salt and pepper, 4-5 tablespoons of mayonnaise and parsley. Spread the filling over a piece of bread and cover with a second slice of bread. Spread mustard on it and place ham. Next place the third piece of bread, smeared with mayonnaise.

Trim the crusts with a sharp knife and cut each sandwich in half. Wrap in cling film.

Ingredients

3 eggs;
1 loaf of white bread;
½ teaspoon dry mustard;
1 tablespoon regular mustard;
1 cup mayonnaise;
150 g ham;
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley;
salt and pepper - to taste.

Squeeze the juice out of the oranges: you should have 2 cups. Combine orange juice, zest of 4 oranges and a lime, sugar or honey in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for another 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by a third. Stir occasionally.

Let the resulting syrup cool and then strain it through cheesecloth. Pour the syrup into a bottle and keep chilled.

Before use, add boiled water or mineral water to the syrup in a ratio of 1:3. You can add ice if desired.

Life hacker told how to make a cake "Red velvet”, but a miniature version of the dessert is suitable for a picnic. It will take very little time to prepare it.

To begin, preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and one egg. Add vanilla extract (vanillin) and sugar there, stir until smooth. Add this mixture alternately with the buttermilk (cream) to the bowl of flour, stirring constantly. Pour in the dye and mix thoroughly again.

Now take a baking sheet and lay out the dough: for one cookie you will need 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Bake for 10–15 minutes.

While the crusts are preparing, make the filling. Mix all ingredients in a heatproof glass bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir the mixture continuously for 5-7 minutes until it becomes thick and creamy.

When the filling has cooled, generously grease the cookies and combine them.
