Milk And Honey For Insomnia?

Almond Shortbread

Auguroni a tutte le donne che leggono questo blog!

Diciamo che non amo le feste commerciali, ma questo è un giorno speciale, grazie al quale almeno una volta all'anno ricordo la mia fortuna di essere donna.

Vi omaggio con questa torta che è sicuramente un classico della pasticceria, soprattutto casalinga. E’ la semplice e buona torta mimosa.
Ho apportato delle piccole modifiche alla ricetta orginale, ma non è niente di chissà quanto innovativo. La trovo semplicemente una variante golosa. L’ho fatta per il mio compleanno e gli amici sono rimasti entusiasti. Così come spero, lo saranno i vostri.
C’è un piccolo trucco: the sponge of my mother. You will be surprised, she does it with baking powder for cakes, unusual ingredient for this basis that does not need to "inflate". Still, it's better than mine.

Ingredients 250 g sugar 230 g
flour

8 eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 500 g
custard
250 g of fresh cream
200 g of white chocolate flakes
250 ml of lemon
250 ml of water
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Preparation

In two separate bowls yolks from the whites. Mount the first whites with a dash of lemon and the second with the sugar until frothy. Add to this mix the flour and baking powder sifted from the bottom up. Combine the egg whites also always with gentle movements and vanilla. Divide the mixture on two baking sheets with butter and flour, a larger base of 24-26 cm, which will give the cake and the other smaller than 20-22 cm where the sponge is cooked, which is used for decoration.

Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes and 20 largest minutes, the small, static oven.

Prepare custard according this recipe and very cold whipping cream.
Add the cream to the cream (cooled) with movements from the bottom up to get an Italian custard.

Heat the water on the fire and the 3 tablespoons of sugar until you obtain a homogeneous syrup. Turn off the heat and add the lemon.

Once the cooled sponge cake cut into 3 parts and larger wet first base evenly with the syrup, with the help of a pastry brush, then add the first layer of crema e metà del cioccolato bianco. Coprire con il disco centrale, bagnarlo e ripetere l'operazione della crema e del cioccolato. Comprire con l'ultimo strato di pan di spagna, e bagnare anch'esso. Con una spatola stendere un un pò di crema pasticcera o panna per creare una "colla" per il passaggio successivo:
togliere la crosta al pan di spagna piccolo e tagliarlo a fettine da ridurre a cubetti. Con questi, ricoprire la torta per dare l'effetto mimosa.

The guardian of the forest snails

I believe that now is quite clear how the snails are funny ... these animals are also very popular by the fairies of the workshop, so that there is a fairy in particular that protects them:) So look out to annoy the snails: is small, but I assure you that there is no need to make her angry! : D

back a little (very little) more serious ... The fairy is made entirely of corn paste, as well as the three snails (the shell, however, is true). The dress of the girl is pasta, but the underskirt, gloves and necklace are made with PVA glue. The bodice is made up of so many snails in corn paste and glue beads one by one ... help oO
The base is wood, finished with the dough to make it stand.

Actually this is a project "failed" because the little one had to be dressed in blue. Too bad he completely wrong model of the dress -.-

You can see that she just did not like the blue ...

The photo with my finger to the size ... the overall height is approximately 8 cm:

What do you say, can go as a guardian? Look who took his role very seriously ... here are nuts everywhere! : P

soon!

Topini

Some of the mice that had led to Miniaturitalia and that I was not able to post:) These three are
wild mice, as always in corn paste.

Topino with the snail:

"And where do you take these mobile homes?"

addition to the mouse are also the basis of corn pasta, mushroom and nut ... in fact it is only the puppet pulp, the shell is true:)

This topology, however, has met a butterfly

"What a strange creature ... You're not dangerous?"

Again corn paste for butterfly, basic and mushrooms. Last

hairy beast ... the little mouse sleeper:

"Five more minutes mom ... zzz ..."

The topology sleeping in the cap of an acorn, right. He has found a home:)
A photo with the 20 cent coin for size ... all the mice are high around 1.5 / 2 cm:

And now I run because I have to finish a young lady ... I left with no arms oO Just puts it uses them to beat me in my ...

Pearl's Mermaid Fairy

In Bottega got a new siren ... in his hand he holds a shell with a pearl inside. Just ask whoever is bringing, I did not want him to say! : D

What do you think of the new fish? I must be honest: I like it! Now we prepare tomorrow must go to her new mother who had commissioned me (Cristinaaaaa :***)... I think the pearl is for you, because you liked it even when it was not over yet:)

The siren is, as usual, finished with corn paste microbeads and shells. This time it has more fins than usual and I must say that the result satisfied me more than I thought! The

squamette the bust in relief, applied one by one ( Rory , wonderful woman ... but how do you do all those feathers without losing patience?).

hair on the mermaid's tail and I spent a very watered down coat of pearl white and then, on the tail, a bit 'of polish to make it appear a little' sticky ':

The base is made up of shells, sand, moss and half pearls.

The mollusc that holds is "built" in the sense that I glued the two shells and then I added a bead as a pearl. Hence the title of the post ... in Italian in English because I do not sound good XD

size ... the whole is about 11 cm high:

I'll see if it is done to pack ... We see you very soon! :)

Topina

I think the title you can imagine what kind of creature has come into the shop ... appearance is like a fairy the other, but it is always followed by the mice ... and if you look carefully you will find that, like them, has two soft pink ears and a long tail:

currently has Topoli all around! But I would say that is normal, as the protector of the sprite critters moustached ...
to the idea of \u200b\u200bthis fairy I have to thank Susanna [ Valdombra Fairies ], who suggested it to me and left me to take a cue from his Fairy Topina ... if you want to see the splendid fairy original (which I will surely pine cones in her head twisted XD) look HERE .

Turning to the technical notes ... the fairy, as well as mice, the basket and fungi, are entirely of corn paste. The hood and part of the dress are vinavil double layer this time. I joined together two sheets, so as to make it more durable.
The base, however, is a piece of bark.
You notice the ear between the curls? :)

The mice are smaller than usual (about half) and feature a new chocolate brown fur: D I had to try this too ... you say, I add the colors of Topoli?

The idea was to represent the puppies ... with a two-legged puppy seemed to me that Four of the puppies were all right:)

a special mushroom:

And the size ... including base, the height is about 9 cm:

I'm going to see where they are strung fairy and Topol ... I feel as I find them in the kitchen ...

soon!

Ski Instructor In Killington

There is a lot of inspiration in my Anglo-Saxon recipes. My love for the UK maybe there is new. I love his music, his culture, the way we do, the endless green fields and the ability to modernize and will seem superficial, but I love the choice that is in their megastores:) There's really no

the taste of multi-ethnic and live together does not seem very difficult, as in many places d 'America. Many times I was tempted to board a plane to London to change my life or just for a vacation study. But I did not. I can travel, discover thousands of places, but not to leave my country. Although I have a project contract. Even if you already know him from top to bottom. Although the trains arrive late. Although there are no daughter. Although my neighbors are noisy. Even if I see waste in the street. Although our purchasing power is worth nothing. Even if our politics is embarrassing. Although megastore in hard to find the golden syrup :) Although ... I'm too sentimental and hence will not leave my country.

To all of you my recipe for a pie or meat pie (which the British call pie) truly unique and delicious with the sauce of onions Lazzaris you find here .

Now that's holding surprised me, in my house have never used the mustard and composed to create dishes and desserts, but since I came into contact with Lazzaris we can not live without . The dishes take on a different flavor and originality! I invite you to visit the site to find out more about this reality that our country was founded in the very beginning of 900.

Serves 4

800 g of beef stew

500 g of peeled tomatoes

70 g onion sauce Lazzaris

1 / 2 glass of red wine

1 / 2 white onion

extra virgin olive

salt and pepper to taste

for pasta

470 g flour 00

150 g of butter

30 g whole wheat flour

1 tsp English mustard

1 teaspoon of salt

cold water to taste

1 egg

NB For the recipe might not be enough of pasta, but one that advances surgelatela!

Preparation

First, it will be well prepared pasta.

In a large bowl place the flours, salt and mustard. Add the cold butter and cut into small pieces. Begin to work with your fingers and add cold water enough to give shape to the compound. We must get a smooth and homogeneous (like a pastry or pasta brisa) to be given a ball and will have to stand for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Of course you can do with the operation or planetary mixer.

Meanwhile, heat a large pan and add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Cut the onion into small cubes and let it fry for few minutes until it becomes blonde. Add the stew, cut into small pieces e insaporirlo con la cipolla e un pizzico di pepe. Sfumare subito con mezzo bicchiere di vino rosso e lasciarlo evaporare. A questo punto unite i pelati e spezzettateli con un mestolo. Aggiungete sale quanto basta e lasciate in cottura  altri  10 minuti. La carne non deve cuocere molto perchè andrà in forno. A fuoco spento unito la salsa di cipolle agrodolci LAZZARIS e amalgamate il tutto.

Ora, si potrà scegliere di servire 4 cocotte come ho fatto io o un'unica pirofila se non volete monoporzioni. Ma vi assicuro che comunque le mie sono molto abbondanti.

Stendete la pasta riposata con un spessore about half a cm and cut circles with a knife larger than that of the cocotte. Place the stew in the sauce up to half a cm from the edge of the casserole and cover with circles of pasta previously made by cutting the excess. Brush with egg and bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
