Lekker lyk daai piesang broodtjie!, ek het die naweek Malava pudding en scones gemaak 🥰
Banana bread recipe would actually be perfect! And still super jealous of the snow 🥲
If I remember I’ll post the banana bread recipe on Shortz this week ☺️ just for you ❤️
@@basicallyciska Thank you girl!
You must not let Ouma’s recipes get lost for future generations! Maybe try Ouma’s “lemoenkoek”!
One day 😉
Hello! basicallyciska I am a professional Digital Marketer and SEO Expert. I visited your UA-cam channel, Your content is very good. But I found some problems in your channel, your videos are not SEO optimized, so your videos don't reach more viewers and your videos don't get more views. Your video needs SEO optimization, it can easily get thousands of views on the video. I can help you to grow your channel 100% organic and perfect way within a short period of time!!
Hi Ciska 🙋♀️ thank you for the recipe 🌷. Have a beautiful day 🌻
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Hope you have a beautiful week ahead - keep going the year is almost over 😉
@basicallyciska Thank you Ciska 😃 Same to you 🩷
Yankee Candles are some of my favorite, esp the fall scents. I got out my Christmas mugs too, I've been enjoying hot coco. I hope you have a great week. 😊
I love how we all have the same experiences in some or other way 🕯️ The yankee candles smell like heaven! Hope you have a good week too! Thanks for stopping by ❤️
Sun setting at 16:15 is messing with my head too. I am hungry for dinner at 17:30-18 (usually I eat at 20) and then I feel sleepy at 19-20 🥹 also I love scented candles, me and my bf have one on almost every day😄
The candles are necessary for all the cozy vibes! 🕯️
🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼
Thanks 💯💯💯💯😮😊
You're welcome 😊
@basicallyciska i love you
🍕
Set the bell 🔔 because the recipe will be live this Sunday! 🥰
I finally came back to germany, and its 10°C colder then in Croatia 😭 And that spooky foggy morning looked so good and cozy (if you are inside your warm house😆)
It is freezing right now! ❄️ I think the snow is coming soonish (silently hoping) Thank you for always watching the videos every week 🙏🏼🥰 I appreciate you!
@basicallyciska Girl I love your videos and I will continue to watch them 🤗 Also there would be no one happier then me if it would snow 🥹
Just saw first snow predicted next week ❄️❄️❄️ let’s hope it sticks!
thank you for showing us😊
Hey another great vlog! Those heart shaped pizzas are such a good idea for valentine's day 🤗 also I literally love Lebkuchen so much, with milk chocolate is my favourite 🥰
The milk chocolate is my favourite too. But I also only like the ones in these boxes not the ones with the paper background. Very picky about my Lebkuchen 😉
🙋♀️🍕🌷
I’ll definitely make them again. Keep an eye out 👀 Thank you for your comment 🥰
@basicallyciska You're welcome Ciska ❤️. Sure, they looked cute and delicious 😋
Wow!! The muchrooms are beautiful! Thx for sharing. 😍
Hi 👋🏼 hope you enjoyed the new video this week. Thank you for watching and hope you all a wonderful week ahead 😊
Ek love you pienk serp! Ons gaan weer Hamburg toe in Desember, En Parys vir ons eerste keer in Feb volgende jaar vir ons 10 jaar wedding anniversary (winter in Parys, romanties mos hehe)
Dankie, Mamma hom vir my gekoop in SA ☺️ Oe en geniet die travelling! 🧳
@@basicallyciskaMoeder het goeie smaak 🌼
🌼🌻🌹🦋🐞💮 Ek het mos oorgekom 5 Jaar terug van Kaap na NL met my 2 Jack Russels, my Milotjie 16jr is oorlede paar weke terug aan kanker. Die seerste seer ooit! Het hom veras, en die mooiste urn gekry vir hom wat staan in my huis. Mis hom elke dag
I love schweinhaxe, must have been delicious!
It was amazing! I’m already planning on maybe trying it again for Christmas 😊
Having lived in Germany a total of eight years, I still haven't gone to Oktoberfest. Maybe one day but it just doesn't do it for me at all
It depends on the person you are - For example J and I don’t drink so the tents are only for vibes maybe once out of the season where for other people they are in the tents literally every single day. The best day at Oktoberfest I will share on Sunday - we just spent the day doing rides and eating at the stalls. Was lovely, maybe that is something you’d enjoy? 😊
@@basicallyciska for me it’s more about the fact that there are soooooooo many people. And soooo many drunk Amis 😂😊
Ciska that soup looked sooo tasty! Oktoberfest seems chaotic and so much fun 🤗
It is chaotic but such an experience you have to see 😊
17:07 baby bue 😃. May all your dreams come true dear Ciska 🍀
I wish, but not yet 😊
Hang in there Ciska 💪 they definitely will ❤
Germans seem like such nice people and so much fun. I would love to stay there if they just had longer summers.
They are so much fun! Especially during the festival seasons 😊
Well Done Ciska!! That chicken soup looks delicious. ❤
Thank you 😋

Hi
Hello 👋🏼
@@basicallyciskaglad to meet you 💝, Im from Kerala . I would like to know a little more about Oktoberfest can you help me? 💝
Sure, what would you like to know. I’m not a native Bavarian so might not have all the answers but I can try 😉
@@basicallyciska Is Oktoberfest a religious celebration or a cultural celebration?
It’s a cultural celebration mostly. Bavaria is known for their different beer houses and this celebration dates back many years. I’m sure there are a lot more to it than just beer, but mainly the beer tents are the main attraction. Selling beer, live music, and a lot of German food (Schweinshaxe and Hendl). Hope that helps
Baie geluk met jou verjaarsdag dame 🎂🥂🌼🌹❤❤
Hey dis J se verjaarsdag vandag. Sal vir hom sê jy stuur geluk 🥳🥳🥳
@@basicallyciska 😅 ok Happy birthday J hehe
Dankie 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Great vlogs! it was fun to see the parade! I also really enjoy your cooking, shopping hauls & getting to see bits of Germany and South Africa. Also...by the time your videos are over you always got me wanting a coffee, lol. 🙃🐎🍺
That is a good thing, next time make the coffee before watching the vlog then we can enjoy it together 💪🏼😉
Love your vlogs Ciska ❤ best of luck dear 🌷
Thank you so much 😊
❤
Oktoberfest seems really fun 🤗 what is your favourite beer from anywhere in the world?
It is truly an experience, but that was just the parade. Next week I’ll show you “inside” Oktoberfest. I usually drink a Radler (which is beer mixed with lemonade or soda). I’m not a big drinker but I’ll be honest German beers are much better than South African beers imo.
🌻🌺🏵🦋❤❤

Happy to hear you back 🤗 p.s. always love shopping hauls
I’m glad you love the hauls! They are one of my favourites to record! 😊
We miss you so much. Love you! 🥰
Pragtig Ciska, en baie mooi armbantjie (charm) wat ouers vir jou gegee het. Awww groet moes so hardseer gewees het. Hugs❤❤❤
Dit was vreeslik erg, maar ons survive 💪🏼
Wow the views are gergeous, and those waves are huge 😅 that ship swaying wouod have me stressed lol
The ship swaying made me stress even though I was just looking. I can’t imagine how the people on that ship must have felt.
Pragtig video soos altyd, veral van onse mooie Kaapstad 🥰 Great job!
Baie dankie ❤️🇿🇦
Your hair looks great Ciska 🤗 Your navy jacket suits you really well. And girl, no matter how much i try, bannanas with egg sounds super strange to me
Thank you for the compliment 😊 Do you like grilled banana’s, because I think that is why I love it (fun fact I can’t eat bananas if they are not grilled or warm)
@@basicallyciska Now that i think about it, i never tried grilled bananas, i should give it a try first
Love the vlog! It is so brave of you guys to go off and live in another country and make a life for yourselves! It makes going home so much sweeter. Hope you have many more trips back to SA. It looks like a beautiful place!
Thank you for the kind words - we miss home so much 🇿🇦
I love the green jacket! Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Wow all the way from Argentina! Welcome bestie!
ag lekker, mis al dai dingetjies ook. Deel jou ma se hoeder marinade resep as jy mag. Dit lyk heerlik :)
