I want to share the recipe of pumpkin semolina porridge with you. I made it twice last week
To make pumpkin and semolina porridge you will need:
1. to buy a packet of semolina (manų). You can use grits (kukurūzų kruopas) instead of semolina. It is good too!
2. to get a big slice of pumpkin. You can buy it in a local shop or the market if you don't grow it yourself...
3. a little bit of salt.
4. A medium size cup of milk.

Take a pot and put it on the stove.
Pour about half of a cup of water with a little bit of salt in the pot.
Put in grated pumpkin and boil it for a minute. Then let it cool down (leiskite atvėsti).
Turn on the fire and slowly mix 3 to 5 spoonfuls of semolina in the water. I usually start cooking porridge in cold water because the porridge cooks better this way.
When the pot starts to boil, cover the pot and cook the porridge for about two or three minutes on a slow fire - very slow fire. Don't forget to check the porridge and stir it well.([stio] pamaišykite gerai)
When the porridge starts getting thick ([th ik] tiršta), pour the milk, and stir everything again.
Continue to cook and to stir on a very slow fire for several minutes.
I sometimes leave the pot on the stove when I turn off the fire. I cover the pot with a towel and wait for a bit.
I eat this porridge with a little butter and pieces of fruit. Bananas or persimmons taste very good with this porridge for me.

Flush (užtepėlė) recipe
To make Flush you will need ? avocado, sauerkraut, garlic, ground black pepper. All ingredients ground with _ crusher and put on same bread, on same french bread. It’s deliciousness and healthy.

Is Flush the specific name for this dish? My dictionary says that flush is 'srautas', 'paraudimas, 'nuleidziamas vanduo'. In English anything you put on bread is called topping or spread (užtepas).
Do you need one avocado or a piece of avocado?

To make this bread topping you will need one? avocado, sauerkraut, garlic, ground black pepper. You need to grind all ingredients with the mortar and pestle ? , put on some bread, on some French bread...

Simona, you flip over pancakes in the air (and not flip up).
But you are correct when you say "I mix up eggs" (at the start I thought it was a mistake too, but I was wrong.)

Little Angel:
Do you crush your avocado and sauerkraut with the pestle and mortar (piesta) ?

I fry/ you fry/ he,she, it fries - kepu/ kepi/ kepa;
I'm frying - šiuo momentu kepu;
I'm going to fry - planuoju kepti / dabar kepsiu
