MONARCHS, PRINCES WHO
GAVE UP THEIR RANKS
Nowadays it is not rare that rulers,
heirs to the throne get married for
love. There are also several examples
for chosing a „man/woman on mould”,
a person of no rank to become their
spouse. However, while a hundred
years ago the „stray sheep” of the Royal
Families were forced to give up their
rank and privileges, in these days they
can decide voluntarily, of their own
choice to lead a civil life. The biggest
sensation among Sovereigns’ Families
in 2020 was caused in the British Royal
Family when in January Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle announced that in
the future they would split their time
between the United Kingdom and
North America. Most probably the
story of Edward VIII is the most-wellknown
among Royalties abdicating for
love. He was the uncle of Elizabeth II
and the heir to the throne of United
Kingdom. He renounced the throne
for the sake of Willis Simpson and
married her.
BEYOND THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
István Tóth, one of the most famous Hungarian world travellers,
who was already included in our magazine, has travelled to 147
countries so far. At the beginning of this year he flew to three
countries where he has been earlier, although he visited India,
Sri Lanka and the Maldive Islands one by one at that time. On
this occasion he had the chance to combine it in one journey and
his wife accompanied him. According to his opinion during this
exotic Asian trip he got a lot of new impressions, far surpassing
his expectations. The electric engineer having three diplomas was
speaking in flattering terms about what he has seen in West India,
not speaking of the Maldives that offers perfect relaxation. As far
as he is concerned, he could suggest first of all Sri Lanka for those
planning a journey to this region. They set off in Colombo, the
capital of former Ceylon to the most unforgettable place for
them: the alms-house of the orphaned elephants.
LEAVENED BREAD IS THE BEST
If we are able to put our everyday bread on the family table
which needs only flour, water and salt to be baked, we can
be overwhelmed with a truly high emotion. In extraordinary
situations many people immediately start to pile up a huge
quantity of flour. Of course, on such occasions there is a shortage
of yeast in the groceries. However, in case we went in for baking
leavened bread, our problem cannot be very serious. It is worth
having a stock anyhow to provide the continuous work. Thus,
until the moment when the first rush is over and flour is on sale
again, the home-made bread is sufficient. On the other hand, we
do not need yeast, only our home-made leaven. We can make it
with a natural method, so a living material consisting of yeast
and lactic acid bacteria is at our disposal to be used any time. On
the top of it, leavened bread has a more complex taste.
