What Happended To Sandra Model

ARE BACK!



I'm here!




E 'not a lot of time and place have been so many reasons .... new house, new job, exams to prepare, no time to cook, etc ...


But because in the end I have a new kitchen, and I'm also using the recently, I came back to experiment and share recipes!


In fact they are four months that I started a new full-time job, so I eat lunch outside in the evening I get home so tired I just want to go to bed and almost always comes down to a dinner ' salad ... I have time and want to cook only on weekends, when I find among other things, to clean the house and put in place, piles of things to clean and press, books to study, spending to do ... you say, but her husband does not help me?? And 'that, poor thing, with the work he does (musician) has schedules unpacked so that you can not count on him!


For two weeks I have discovered bioexpress , a service that is helping me greatly. I found browsing on the blog, many people have talked about it well ... is a cooperative of organic farmers in South Tyrol a weekly home delivery box of organic vegetables. I receive two weeks and I feel good, from practical point of view is fantastic, I must not go find the nearest market resulting in grueling Saturday morning, I do not have to carry weights .... after all, is economically convenient (in Milan see high prices for non-organic vegetables, not to mention the bio ... it seems to go to the jeweler), the box is very varied, with a pleasant surprise and the result of " force "to experiment with new recipes every week .... it is true that the truck coming from Bolzano and maybe there would be more businesses close, but so far I have found far too laborious and not join a GAS than buy at the supermarket, with all its consequences (in support of an economy in long-chain, be disadvantageous to producers and the consumer, passive acceptance of the logics of the market, plastic containers etc. ...) I think the Bioexpress already a huge step forward. Furthermore, with regard to pollution transport, Bioexpress is zero-emission because the energy certificates to offset ... as I am not 100% convinced by this form of compensation, if only attests to the good faith of the company and the attention to the environmental problem, and it is not little.


So, will soon be tested recipes with organic vegetables from South Tyrol ...


For now I leave you with some shots of the wedding!

Anniversary Msg For Bf



But since they live not just a hobby, yesterday I wanted challenge themselves in preparing a recipe that I found on a carnival and a book that had impressed me very much.
fried flowers, maybe roses ...
The mixture is that of frappe / chat, you'll have read a dozen these days, but instead strips that you must make three different sizes of disks, which can then be shredded as to form a corolla, and " glued together with the egg white.
If I have intrigued here's the recipe:
Ingredients: 200 gr. flour, 2 eggs, 1 egg white, salt, one (or more) jam to taste.
Procedure: Form a mound of flour and join a pinch of salt, add eggs and a tablespoon of water to form a dough and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
Then spread it with a rolling pin (or Grandma Duck) to a thickness of about 1 mm. With three different sizes of round cutter cut circles of dough and other accounts for about 2 cm with a sharp knife.

Brush with egg white center discs and "paste" on each other, obviously starting from the largest.
roses Fry in deep oil 2 / 3 minutes on one side and an equal second after turning it over. After being drained dry and sprinkle with powdered sugar and put in the center of each "flower" a teaspoon of jam or marmalade.

Personally, I recommend adding a tablespoon of sugar and a liquor (rum or Witch) mixture, angora to make it more tasty. Aggiungi immagine
