THE SECRET GARDEN "IDDRU"


We had to climb the steep sides of hot and "Iddru," but he did not want, gruff and domineering, hooded to avoid being seen by anyone, has recruited its rough seas, wind, rain ... we got to Lipari and the ship has stopped, "Do not you go to Stromboli, one can only go back!" There is already organized for the next day and for Saturday afternoon ... Meanwhile, take a ride to Lipari with a Punto cabrio red tamarro "hired on the spot ... lacked the stereo at high volume, sin, would have completed it all! We return to Reggio, while the gags of the group there: who among the people on the ferry out of the elevator with their backs to the wall and leveled his gun and pretended to be the bodyguard of friends, who climbs on the walls of the waterfront Reggio Calabria, who improvises a promenade on the same race involving almost any passer-by, who is still running even ... is true, it becomes more and more large returns children, I enjoy more now that as a child! Everything ends with a flourish with a seafood dinner in a restaurant of Scylla.

The next morning you wake up with the sun, even if it's cold and windy. It goes to Canolo climbing! Who wants to always find something good to do, right? Apart from the personal cloud that follows us, (it will be someone's fault?) But fortunately does not drain water, we enjoy the great climbing facilities on the beautiful cliff of which I fall in love at first sight! Then the final gem, a beautiful panoramic tour to admire the fabulous "Towers" or "Dolomiti" in the ... Canolo peesaggio is spectacular, the company also ... is yet another conquest of our inner freedom ...

Female Swimmer With Tan Lines

cake Carletto (allergic to unite around the globe)

so I called because I made it through a couple of recipes courtesy of two dear friends, putting together their names came out "Carletto" evvualà!
This is easy to make and delicious ricotta cheesecake in which the original recipe (provided by one of the individuals mentioned above) was replaced with an equal amount of "yogurt cheese" (recipe for which was provided on the other individual).
This small change allows you to be able to eat for those who can not digest milk and dairy products (for example, my dear maritozzi that is uncomfortable with lactose and therefore is far from fresh cheese, cottage cheese, milk and dairy products vaccines).

In practice Wear:

1 / 2 kg of white yogurt

Take the yogurt and place in a large colander, which will put a drain on a container. cover with a cloth and put everything in the refrigerator for 2 days.
After this time, the yogurt cheese will be ready and able to use it for the cake (or what you will).

For the cake: A

30ina biscuit cereal

100 g butter 250 g mascarpone

3 eggs 150 g sugar

Lemon juice 4 tablespoons of jam to taste

Blend the biscuits and mix with melted butter: With this kind of dough to line the base of the cake.
Whip the egg yolks with sugar, then add the mascarpone cheese and yogurt mixture.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and incorporate the eggs, cream, mascarpone and ricotta trying to disassemble too: Once the mixture is smooth pour it on the basis of biscuits and butter and bake at 180 degrees for 35/40 minutes.
Melt the jam over a low heat (one that goes well with berries or strawberries, but a matter of taste) with lemon juice as needed for obtain a thick syrup with which to cover the cake with icing when cold.

As I said in the original recipe in place of the yogurt were 250 grams of ricotta, and of course the taste of the cake is a bit 'different, more delicate in this release, as agreed with the yogurt.
Personally, I like them both ... (And you thought!)

How To Delete Your Sorority Life Name?

The puppets of the Epiphany and


Okay, I know, the Epiphany is long past and so why write now this post? Because one of the first to share "my" recipes with others we must think and think again: I am very very jealous of my secret.
So now I write it, that pain will go good for next year ... if someone is looking for (and finds it, just this one) ...

So, where I come from (Upper Valdarno), is used to find the children, on the morning of the Epiphany, the puppet. It 's a very simple dessert, which was once done with the bread dough to which was added to what was available to make and decorate cake: a little' sugar and nuts. Towards the Epiphany is more or less in all the bakeries, but there is less satisfaction.
The "modern" version is made with a kind of shortbread decorated with basin, and some sugar-candy, the dose that is used to make two.


700g flour 250g butter 250g

sugar 1 pinch salt
1 / 2 packet of baking powder 1 orange

2 eggs (one for and one for brushing the dough, but this can also do without)
A pleasure basin, various decorations of sugar, some candy, a few grains of raisins.

how:
you put the flour in a bowl or in a rather large (as I do) and you will add the other ingredients that soften butter at room temperature, sugar, egg, juice and the grated rind of orange, a pinch of salt, yeast. Should be mixed well to obtain a kind of pasta, more or less homogeneous. Form a ball with the dough and wrap with plastic wrap letting it stand an hour in the fridge. Oretta the past, I begin to form the puppet. Use it that girls will be donated in the form of a woman, for males, however, is modeled a horse.
divide the dough in two and start to stretch. So to speak, as I leave about 2 cm thick.
I do it directly in shallow roasting pan greased and floured or parchment paper (do the puppet and then having to transfer the plate is a delicate operation and, at least for me, not easy). After I rolled out, cut the desired shape (if you want a little brush with 'egg) and decorate with the basin and the rest. I put in the oven (preheated) at 180 ° C and bake for 15-20 minutes (or I take it off just beginning to brown. The children willingly
dunking in milk, I imagine the great pleasure in dunking over a finger (placed horizontally or vertically ... you see a bit of'...) vinsanto decent ;-).
