Break The kitchen is flooded with sunlight, it's hot, I open the window to let fresh air this Saturday morning . The drawn curtain creates a pleasant shade in the room, I sit at the wooden table, nestled
chair. Coffee, lemonade, some of
article Animals , pending that
Weazel wake up. I enjoy the silence of the early hours of the day, interrupted only by the chirp
of blackbirds that have made a nest in the gutter. This
half 'now all mine is a little limbo before the day starts, has the flavor of seaside holidays, it seems almost to breathe the scent of iodized waves. Then the day begins, the
Weazel looms in the doorway of the room, his face still full of sleep. We have breakfast and we start immediately to work. He bakeries, the smell of
barillini taralli and spreads through the house, mingling
the smell of strudel dough and filling that I'm preparing. Expect my parents arrive. My dad must assemble a few things in anticipation of '
arrival of the new kittens
;) pays for the service
preparing a quantity
industrial
scialatielli , trying to pet them as best as possible.
the afternoon we head to the place of destruction par excellence: the
gardening is a series of wards full of household items, plants, flowers and animals. Remain in play for a long time with a baby
jack russell , imagining the house in the country of my dreams where I realize the personal, small Noah's Ark
. The night falls slowly, bringing a little 'refreshing breeze. Pizza and movie
become a
appointment very romantic!
Also Sunday, the alarm will sound soon! First training session out-door
. 13 km under a scorching sun, just the thought in mind of what I drink arrived home! The afternoon passes
between the various chores before the usual cross
cross week early. Thought focuses increasingly on Intervention on Tuesday. Bullshit to fix a nagging short-sightedness that makes me a little mole, but anxiety about the operation
materializes in a small empty stomach. There remains altro che compensare. Apro la scatola di latta, il profumo di mele e cannella è già un balsamo per il mio umore. Il tè freddo e aromatico scorre
ghiacciato nella gola, liquido e
rinfrenscante . Per un po' il mio salotto rimarrà chiuso, ma spero di lasciarvi dolcemente con queste due ricette.
STRUDEL DI MELE 
(ricetta originale: Una Montagna di Sapori, A. Kompatscher e T. Schmalzl) Ingredienti per la "pasta matta": 125 gr di farina/ 1 cucchiaio di olio di semi di girasole (io ho usato dell'olio di sesamo) / 1 small egg (50 gr) / 1 pinch of salt / 5-6 -
tablespoons warm water Ingredients for filling: 5-6 apples (Royal Gala or Boskop - I used Fuji and Golden ) juice of half a lemon / 3 tablespoons of rum / 100 grams of sugar per 1 to 2 tablespoons of raisins (I used the dried cranberries purchased on site;)) / 40 grams of pine nuts (I used chopped walnuts) / 1 / 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (abbondate!!) / 80 grams of bread crumbs
for brushing 50 g butter, melted (if not use it all the strudel will be a little 'anemic)
United flour with the egg, salt, a tablespoon of olive oil and a bit ' di acqua (aggiungete un po' per volta) lavorando il tutto fino a attonere una pasta eleastica. Ungete con un po' di olio e mettete a riposare in frigo per 30 minnuti. Nel frattempo affettate finemente le mele, mescolate con il rum, la cannella, i cranberries, il succo di limone, lo zucchero e le noci. Togliete la pasta dal frigo e fatela stemperare per una mezz'ora. Quindi stendetela su un telo infarinato, passatevi sotto le mani con il dorso verso l'alto, sollevatela e tiratela finchè risulterà quasi trasparente. Eliminate i bordi aiutandovi con un coltello ben affilato. Ungete la pasta con il burro liquefatto e cospargetela di pan grattato. Distribuitevi sopra le mele, arrotolate il tutto aiutandovi con il telo, sigillate le estemità e ripiegatele all'insù. Spennellate con il butto fuso rimasto e infornate a 170° a forno statico per 40-45 minuti
Ingredienti: 1 mazzetto di menta fresca/2 cucchiai da minestra di
tè gunpowder in foglia/ 8/10 cucchiai da minestra di zucchero
Vi serviranno inoltre una teiera metallica , un bicchiere di vetro e un cucchiaio o bastoncino di legno.
Riscaldate una tazza di acqua calda fino a farla bollire, versatela in the teapot and cover it .. Put to boil water enough to fill the pot (and a bit 'more, you'll need). While water comes to boil, wash the mint leaves. When the water reaches a boil, empty the teapot and put two tablespoons full (but not too much) of tea in the teapot. Pour a bit 'of water into the teapot and tea shake slightly wet, then pour the water and start over.
This serves to open the tea leaves and get rid of dust they contain. Repeat until the tea comes out of the teapot is not reasonably clean (two or three times is enough). This will allow you to have a tea light and clean. Add sugar to taste. Put lots of sugar will cover the tannin and will ensure a consistent taste. Add the mint. Pour water and put let stand for 5 minutes. Stir with the wooden stick to remove sugar from the bottom, then strain the whole pitcher. Keep in frigofero.
