Chicken is just delish (greetings to jamie oliver) if you pour it over with honey-mustard-lemon juice-olive oil-pepper-salt marinade and leave it there for few moments before frying. YUM! Oh, and this fresh leek! It is growing on my window sill. One onion just decided, its springtime and time to grow. I didn’t mind. Gives colour and taste to my food.
What to do with a dessert if the main course is unexpectedly large and there is no way you can eat the dessert. Colleagues of mine divided this one made of semolina and eggs and I don’t know what else into about 10 small pieces, added some crunched biscuits, pieces of a candy and voila! There’s a luxurious tiny dessert for everybody! Thank you :)
I was afraid that my first successful pasta making was just beginners luck. And it was. The second time I failed miserably. Perhaps it was because I used different flour, durum flour which behaved a bit differently. Perhaps it was because I didn’t bother to measure quantities flour and eggs. Perhaps it was because I left it for too long to the fridge. Perhaps it was all together, but the result was non-sticking and very not solid and ugly-looking mass which took only shapes it wanted, not what i wanted. and becoming noodles was not in its plan.
I was ready to toss it to garbage, but a friend who was visiting saved it – added more flour, more eggs, more rude words and it worked. sort of. It was very eggy and weird. but edible.
AND – if you add some red wine, some smashed canned tomatoes and a bit of sugar to minced beef meat, i think you can eat it with anything and it’ll taste just great. even strange noodles.
I’m glad there are recipes for moments I want to bake something so badly but I have nothing at home and I’m too lazy to go to shop. If I say I have nothing it means I have some eggs, sugar, flour, butter, baking powder and cocoa. Maybe some chocolate. This was the lucky day. I had chocolate!!
chop chop chop! oh what a splendid activity this was to make chocolate chips. then mix mix mix. then wait wait wait (i.e. bake bake bake) and then eat eat eat. with vanilla ice cream and a bit of strawberry jam on top. yum!
some leftovers which i didn’t have time to take a decent picture of. But I hope you get the picture :)
A tip of a day: buckwheat porridge is best with a bit of fried onion and sundried tomatoes on top :)
