Their pasta is distinguished not only for its excellent quality but also, as you can see from the photos and visiting site, for the originality of the formats that stimulate the imagination of us food bloggers to create something that will make the proper tribute to the product.
I'm really curious to try them: the one that most intrigues me most in terms of taste are obviously Scialatielli lemon .... I'm already thinking about the recipe!!

Why
a summit meeting? Because the dish I am presenting today is the merger of two excellent products: pasta de "The pulp of Gragnano" and a fabulous "Pesto Pantesco" of Kazzen I had the pleasure to discover during Golosaria 2010. Take a tour on their site and tell me you know ... you try their products because they really deserve!

We come to the recipe.

raspberry jam



Ingredients: 1 package

not hygroscopic

In Beat eggs and a bowl with an electric mixer, then add the yogurt always mounting, oil. milk and finally the preparation per torta precedentemente setacciato per eliminare eventuali grumi. Quando il composto si presenterà ben liscio ed omogeneo aggiungere il cioccolato tritato utilizzando una spatola. Versare nella tortiera (io ho utilizzato la Girotondo in silicone della Guardini  ) e far cuocere a 170° per 40/50 minuti, facendo sempre la prova stecchino.


Far raffreddare perfettamente (se si usa il silicone) e sformare. Far scaldare la marmellata per pochi secondi in microonde per renderla più fluida, quindi utilizzarla per riempire i solchi che si saranno formati nella torta grazie alla forma dello stampo. Veil with jam even the surface and sprinkle with almonds. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy non-hygroscopic, perhaps with a fragrant cup of tea.

goes without saying that if you have anything normal stuff the cake mold by cutting it in two horizontally ....

And then the preparation is very comfortable ... it is worth always take a box at hand because in no time you'll have a beautiful cake to taste good!

GOOD DAY TO ALL WOMEN!

George Lopez Angie Dancing Song

FOR CARNIVAL ....


every joke that is!
Yeah, just like the nursery rhyme says, but for me, that time,
was not at all a joke ... indeed!
But to understand you too, must take a big step back in time,
life when I saw a little girl of 7 years.
We had an appointment that day she and I, indeed
her, as well as with me, had a far more serious and which, alas,
was already agreed that it should not be missed.
Maybe he missed the one presented to us, but I already so small
stavo per scoprire che parecchi appuntamenti nella vita rimangono
mancati, incompiuti e mai più concordati.
Sapevo che nonna stesse molto male, non chiedevo, non lo facevo perché non dovevo,
su questo argomento c'era il riserbo assoluto
"i bambini non dovevano sapere"
sentivamo bisbigliare agli adulti dai piccoli spiragli delle porte rimaste socchiuse,
però osservavo e non mi sfuggivano i suoi affanni, i suoi sospiri i suoi abbattimenti
e qull'impercettibile malinconia nelle promesse a lei strappate, che probabilmente,
sapeva già di non aver il tempo di mantenere. Each
his embrace had become louder, enveloping, almost overwhelming, almost
seeking to merge in an attempt to me and her so indissoluble, indivisible
always against time that now she had to invert the rounds of the hands.
But I promise I still managed to snatch ...
the morning before I had promised for this Carnival
we prepared a cake with cheerful, colorful, almost disguised ...
promise but after that she is gone, is gone
without that cake had ever been prepared.
I remember that morning I got up with such excitement, that walked
the cold marble corridor, almost flying rather than walking, knowing that in the middle of the day I met her, and she embraced
, after having carefully ajar ,
would have admired, he beheld his child dressed as a "Columbine".
But when I, "Columbine", perfumed and made up, I was ready to go to the party,
here's my father's eyes that escape me, and his voice turned off and quiet, almost whispered
that informs me that the visit a grandmother can no longer do,
that you will return, I'll have to aspettare.
Per l'intero pomeriggio rimango delusa, ferita, quasi inebetita,
mi svesto e ripongo con delicatezza quegli abiti a festa
dentro la loro scatola per metà incellofanata ,
allora ben conservata e mai più ripresa.
Il cielo quel pomeriggio era color cobalto con sbuffi di nuvole bianche...
sembravano zucchero filato,
da bambina amavo osservare i movimenti delle nuvole, i loro disegni, le figure che creavano,
e quella volta vi avevo visto un angelo che spiccava il volo lontano, oltre il cielo;
nel mostrare tale fantasia a mia madre poco distante da me , mi accorsi che lei,
now unable to restrain a painful burst into tears and heartfelt
and in that time I had figured out who that angel was designed in the sky.
Since then I have long considered the saddest of the year the festival Carnival,
then, becoming an adult and mother,
with my kids I had to react,
to Carnival they also wanted to entertain,
and then something had to change,
as they say "the show must go on"
and today for the first time, that famous cake I wanted to prepare.
"HARLEQUIN CAKE"

's inspiration for this cake I was given the recipe in pubbilcata this nice blog where you can also observe the phases and rules of procedure.
Regarding ingredients I have them amended so with excellent results
6uova
400 g.
400 g. sugar
flour 1 cup of yogurt with fruit (the fruit you like more)
100 ml vegetable oil 50 g.
water 1 packet of yeast
gel food coloring 1 teaspoon vanilla.
roof nutella cream and white sugar paste decorations.
Cettina grandmother I think, among the women in my life life
was what I loved most ,
still suffer as soon as she has gone, yet
Today I can no longer play with the clouds.

With this post I participate (for a nap) Allegro contest mix the vegetables together? "


and again to that of Sandramilù because ancora una volta ho cucinato con il cuore.

How Do You Get Past The Crab In Poptropica

In memory of IE6

Critics of alcohol and smoke they call "legal drugs". Well there is a "legalized virus", settled in many pc trouble-free a decade ago and still today, despite being the world's most hated browser, used by around 12% of the global population. I'm not talking about Windows (although ...), but Internet Explorer 6.
scandalous browser Microsoft had already spoken here and here, and it is well known how the web has spread hatred against . IE6 has ten years ("only" ten years in Redmond would say: but you know, for their time flows differently in Cupertino), and the house madre hanno finalmente deciso che è l'ora di andare in pensione. Nasce quindi IE6 Countdown , sito Microsoft che invita a cambiare browser.
Il sito riporta delle interessanti statistiche: scopriamo quindi che in Cina IE6 è utilizzato addirittura dal 34.5% della popolazione. Seguono a ruota Corea del Sud (24.8%), India (12.3%), Taiwan e l'Arabia Saudita (10.7%), ma anche il Giappone (10.3%) ed il Vietnam (10%).L'Italia è lontana, con il 3.3%. La soluzione proposta da Microsoft, ovviamente, è IE9. Il pulsante in alto a destra, curiosamente, porta al sito dedicato al nuovo browser di casa Redmond. Volete sapere come si chiama? "Beautyoftheweb.com". Vabbé.

Antique Bath Milena Velba

Bombs carnival Annamaria

The name I gave it .... in fact these are real sweet and right of both heat and bombs of goodness!
The recipe was given to me by the ever dear Anna, I have the same kind gift of sourdough . The dough and the final result very reminiscent of the donuts.

BOMBS OF CARNIVAL


250 g of Manitoba flour mill Chiavazza
250 grams of flour 00 antigrumi Molino Chiavazza

2 medium potatoes 25 gms of yeast dissolved in 3 or 4 tablespoons of warm water 75 g sugar


75 g butter, softened 2 eggs 1 pinch of salt

a glass of limoncello lemon peel


light extra virgin olive oil for frying granulated sugar


Boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel and mash with a potato masher.
Sift the flours in the bowl of the planet, add the potatoes, yeast dissolved in water, sugar, eggs, limoncello and lemon peel chopped fine. Begin to knead with the hook. When the ingredients are blended, add salt. As soon as the ball has been formed to begin adding the butter a little at a time, adding the next only when the former was well absorbed from mixing. Allow to work for ten minutes, turning the dough often.
Far remarry until doubled in a warm place (oven with the light on).
Take the dough and shape would like. I made the donuts (as did Anna), balls and finger rolls crescent. Place hand in hand on sheets of parchment paper dusted well flour, cover and let rise again for another hour.
Friggre the hot cakes in olive oil making them brown well on both sides, drain on absorbent paper and immediately roll them in granulated sugar.

Very good !!!!!!

The ideal would be accompanied with whipped cream. I have them because they were only served at the natural part of the cake I made for dinner last night (with my brother, the girl and my parents) ... it was just too much. The other side of you sweet talk to you soon.

Until next time!

Kate Playground Exposed

tasty roasted chicken with crispy potatoes

Today a recipe very classical and a bit trivial, but with a little trick that I believe it takes a lot to flavor the meat. I must admit that the trick is not my bag of flour, I read somewhere but can not remember if on some site or some magazine ...... so if anyone recognizes the paternity also let me know that giustamante, I will update the post.

The trick is to lift the chicken skin but not permanently remove it ....

... so ....
.... straight season the meat ....
.... and cover with the skin .....
..... if you want you can also flavor the skin ....

You get a very soft meat with the fat released from the skin (removing the meat too dry) and more tasty .... also the chest that normally it is not!

TASTY CHICKEN ROASTED POTATOES WITH CRISP


Serves 2: Chicken
an open "Book" is divided into two parts
4 / 5 medium potatoes
extra virgin olive oil

Prepare the chicken as described above, spread it evenly with the ' Seasonings for beef roast Ariosto . Turn on the oven and bring to a temperature of 200 °. Handsomely appointed the pieces of chicken on the grill of the oven and bake even remember to put in a drip pan with water to make us Drain off the fat that will give the chicken during cooking. Cook for an hour turning it a few times or until a toothpick puncturing the meat with the liquid that comes out will be completely blank and devoid of any trace of blood.
Note: If you are among those who also eat the skin, remember first of flavor, and then let it brown 5 minutes under the grill before turning out to make nice crisp!

Meanwhile prepare Patete: peel, cut into cubes and wash under running cold water. Put them in a pot, cover with cold water and allow to boil (should remain crunchy). Drain the potatoes, let them cool slightly and then season with the ' seasonings for fried potatoes and fried Ariosto . Meanwhile you heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan (so that it contains potatoes without sovrapponagano too), pour the potatoes, raise the heat to half power, cover and fry. After 5 minutes turn it making them jump (do not use spoons to not break them), replace the cover and let brown. Keep going until the potatoes are brown on all sides.
Serve hot.


And if like me try to minimize carbohydrates (that is, the potatoes were only for my husband, even though the recipe I indicated doses for 2 people) can accompany the chicken with artichokes a couple of well-cleaned, cut into pieces and cook in a skillet with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil salt and pepper ...,, delicious!

Have we, stay tuned!

What's The Point Of The Speed Bag?

Artwork Music: Tool

When it comes to artwork for the music, something stirred within me. It will be for my past (and my present) as a musician, but when I packaging music worthy of the name I can not applaud that, often, a pack that is well done only by buying the disc. For all other cases, needless to me tell me, there are cheaper ways to obtain decent mp3. Looking here and there in my collection, I found some gems of packaging.

Tool, Lateralus
One thinks of the West Coast and the Beach Boys come to mind or, at most, the funk / pop Red Hot Chili Peppers or the nu-metal by skaters. But in Los Angeles of the '90s a few steps from the grunge revolution, created the tool. Take the esoteric, alternative rock, math and a pinch of psychedelic prog, and you'll have roughly the recipe. After Aenima (1996), which he had consecrated the world, Tool Lateralus produce (2001), a masterpiece of musical eclecticism. Tool I have always been attentive to visual music, offering live real emotion of playing on optic backlit LED screens, and effects measured, and their work artwork for the albums are equally impressive. The booklet
Lateralus describes a full intentions: six different designs printed on glossy media transparent, overlapping combine to give the image of a complete man. As in an anatomy book alternative, the six levels outline the various layers of the human body: bones, organs, cardiovascular system, and even a mysterious level "spiritual." In the last layer, the brain reads the word "God". The artwork is by the great Alex Grey in collaboration with Adam Jones, guitarist and art director.

Tool, 10,000 Days
Five years later, there is still behind the artwork of Alex Grey new disc. I tell you the truth: when I arrived in my hands, I could not believe it. On a support hardcover depicting stylized eyes and a logarithmic spiral, the booklet is set, the opposite end of the pack, looking through two lenses, the pages of the booklet become stereogram, making 3D photos of the band members (by the great Travis Shinn photographer who has photographed almost every famous musician of the earth) and all the information you need except the lyrics, never appeared on any of the artwork Tool. The images, in turn, reflect and complement each other by composing a sort of puzzle, but whose meaning has never been revealed by the band. A clarification: the I'm talking about is not some special limited edition box set ... packaging is the standard that you find in any store. The work is so impressive (and I guess, damn expensive) that they have earned to Adam Jones in 2007, the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.

What's A Gold Star Pokemon Card

Boum


Già dall'inizio della settimana, e mi riferisco a una settimana dei mitici anni '80,avevo lasciato intendere di non aver proprio voglia di partecipare a quella festa, che poi festa di chi?...l'amica dell'amico dell'amica, che fino ad allora per me era una perfetta sconosciuta e probabilmente dopo questa festa non avrei cambiato tale cosa in maniera rilevante. Ma lei era sempre lì a insistere e blaterare e a cercare di convincermi che ci dovevo proprio andare non potevo mancare, era la mia grande occasione per poterlo rivedere ;

uffa, sembrava un disco rotto, anche se a forza di ascoltarla ero io che mi stavo rompendo e non il disco;ad ogni modo, alla fine cedo, più per sfinimento che per convincimento e così, alla vigilia del Sabato, figuriamoci se una festa potesse festeggiarsi in un giorno diverso da questo,eccola lì, sempre lei, l'amica fidata, inchiodata al campanello della porta di casa miapronta a concedermi giusto il tempo di aprireper catapultarsi dentro il mio armadio alla ricerca del look ideale,che io e non lei avrei dovuto (secondo lei), agghindata in quel modo lo avrei fatto "crollare".

Figuriamoci...vestita,o meglio, travestita in quella maniera sembravo più pronta per andare su un marciapiede che ad una festa!

Così il Sabato arriva, sono pronta a seguirla anche se non indosso ciò che lei avrebbe voluto che io indossassi,vedendomi mi guarda con un espressione contrariata per poi dirmi "ma si, va bene lo stesso, tanto tu con qualsiasi straccetto addosso sei sempre uno schianto" , mi soffermo a pensare se devo prenderlo come un complimento o un infelice apprezzamento considerato che abbia definito gli indumenti che indosso "straccetti";

così accovacciate entrambe sul sellino del suo "Ciao" bordeaux rigorosamente ad accensione a pedale (e quindi metà tragitto già te lo fai io correndo lei pedalando)ci avviamo per raggiungere quello che sarà il luogo della festa;

capisco di essere arrivata already when the courtyard of the building reaches me of the noise and chaos chiaccheriglio deafening disco music blaring, a nice girl and comes to us as if we knew always draws me to him by printing a noisy kiss on my cheek, well seasoned sweat mixed with powder, lipstick and qunt'altro will be put on the face in an attempt to appear more feminine and less child (failed attempt).


I have identified my location, a beautiful and comfortable chair, but not only, I also found him , I was sure that he would be there, I hoped and feared, and yet pretend not very skilfully to have noticed, or rather noticed essermene remaining completely relaxed, but just when I thought of being able to play the role of indifference to the presence of those who orbited for a long time in my mind and in my heart, here come those

Notes



the soundtrack of a romantic film, then, give me a punch in the stomach, make me come to that annoying lump in my throat that he could still go down in those years ...

and who knows how many of you remember it and kids are back in this moment with me, no song like this could be more complicit in the endless belts in a hug, and no song could be more poignant if there was

hug ... and also for that time
"Boum" had done the soundtrack to my disappointment and my despair.
So then in the evening in the darkness of your room you find yourself to swallow bitter tears and still listen to that song that makes you suffer so much and cry because you think that suffering should never end.

Other parties then came just as sickly sweet and slow songs to dance to but I refuse or the "boum" I have not forgotten and that slow, it will seem strange, I never danced.
