Sighting Winchester 1000sb

[The Feast of the Cabbage!] Polenta cake with blueberries and

I follow the blog regularly for a long time " The Brussels sprouts " Sigrid Verbert. This blog is a treasure trove of recipes, information about attractions, restaurants and foods.

Very often I cooked the recipes published (and always with good results), I recommended it to friends & relatives to consult, in turn, this blog, I traveled with pocket-blog pages printed in-house with advice on where to eat (such as during my recent trip to Rome).

In short, if it is "made by Cavoletto" is a guarantee! :)

Sigrid A year ago he published a book. Book that I did not hesitate in buying directly from the publisher, Cybele Fossano. "The Book of Cabbage," a collection of recipes, pictures and stories. A book of recipes I like it, simple but effective preparations, with beautiful photographs and an introduction to every recipe, where Sigrid tells the story of the dish.

Now to celebrate the first year since the release of this book Sigrid ha indetto un concorso: basta cucinare una ricetta del libro, pubblicare il tutto sul proprio blog e sperare di vincere uno dei bellissimi premi in palio. " La festa del Cavolo " per festeggiare il primo anno di vita de " Il libro del Cavolo "! Potevo non partecipare? Certo che no! :)

Ho scelto un dolce, la "torta con polenta e lamponi", cogliendo l'occasione per condividere poi il risultato con alcuni cari amici.

Torta con polenta e lamponi

dal libro Il Libro del Cavolo di Sigrid Verbert, Cibele Edizioni, Fossano (CN)

  • lamponi freschi 400 g
  • burro 225 g
  • 225 g sugar
  • cornmeal for polenta (precooked not!) 175 g
  • eggs 4
  • white flour 60 g
  • lemon 1
  • baking powder 1 tsp
  • pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon

Beat softened butter with sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla extract, finely grated zest of lemon, then the flour and corn and wheat. Embed finally, gently, 150 g of raspberries and pour into a pan of 21 cm in diameter. Bake at 190 ° C for 40 minutes. Allow to cool e servire con il resto dei lamponi freschi. Per 8.

Come si può vedere dalle foto allegate, ho fatto alcune modifiche alla ricetta originale: la mia è una torta con polenta e mirtilli . I lamponi del mio orto non sono ancora maturi, quindi li ho sostituiti con mirtilli giganti, sempre home made . Le uova sono delle mie galline, nel pollaio sotto casa. Le farine, bianca e di mais, sono biologiche del mulino Bongiovanni di Pogliola-Mondovì. Il limone della mia pianta (in vaso). Per ammorbidire un pochino l'impasto, ho aggiunto anche 3 cucchiai di yogurt magro bio ai mirtilli Cascina Bianca, prodotto a Cervasca. Quindi alla fine una "torta polenta and blueberry "throughout the province granda 0 km!

[Ok, the vanilla is not local, but of Madagascar.: P]

course it was huge success!

Thanks Sigrid :)

White Bumps On My Dogs Lips

Diary Caught!

C'è la prima volta per tutto caro nipote.

I remember many years ago when I still was not an expert on bees, which could take a shower installed in a wall of concrete blocks.
the phone rang while I was reading the "history of my people" by Edoardo Nesi, a book about the decline of textiles in Prato. My work had already become a pain, not that I was missing work, but the suffering was charged ...
Back to swarm, and my brother on the phone told me, here's a cloud of bees that is entering the wall of the room of the R.. Li ... and everyone is scared. I did not pray much, I went quickly on the spot and calmed all that were not dangerous and that there was no need to call the fire department, I could I think, but not right away, I had my equipment with me, and then after that there would be a national player, was the first game of World Cup 2010. I told him I'd be back the next day with everything you need.
The next day I went with the mallet and chisel and began to beat up to create a hole big enough to get into it with his hand, but still not enough because the core was placed inside a lot.
I had to break all the concrete block, then I could remove the small combs, which had built the hive and place of polystyrene, and did so even with the bees. You know, this was not the first swarm that had settled in that wall, because I realized that there were many old combs dried.
I do not know exactly when the queen came out because at some point I used the smoke to get them to leave.
is attacked on all side wall and I realized that here was the queen. Posizionai the hive against the wall and spazzolai bees inside the hive, the game was done.

dear nephew, you do not know the satisfaction I felt from that moment I felt a real beekeeper.

Pasta Express Ctc Recipe Book

the good fruits



The phone on the table mi fa sentire prigioniero di un lavoro che non ho mai scelto, mentre il mio sguardo va verso le foto di una libertà che ho già avuto.

Fuggire non porta bene, le cose si devono migliorare dal dentro, giorno dopo giorno.

Intanto cerco di migliorare le mie capacità di capire il mondo vegetale che tanto mistero ancora nasconde.



Il mistero dei pomodori giganti dell'orto sinergico. I pomodori li ho sempre piantanti in un terreno concimato abbondantemente, ma nell'orto sinergico il concime non ci è stato messo è questi pomodori sono più sviluppati dei loro coetanei vicini di aiuola e concimati.

























Sunday sweetest of my life, I hope you will not be diabetes. The honey bee is of my sweet, perhaps even that of the other, but that of my own is better.
I took two perfectly capped supers from hives and sickly sweet about 35 kg of honey, EVVAII!

Too Damn deer

The title is not referring to the case parigrado neophyte TroppoBarba .





The super family, the one that has already filled the first supers, it is probably close to swarming. Since I put the supers I have not checked the nest, probably unbeknownst to me they are permitted to take independent decisions, the construction and the holding of a queen. Oh no! so you only natural beekeeping, where Nicola enlightens us with a correct practice.

As you can see from the picture, there's only two hives supers and the third is the family still weaker on eight frames, is not ready for the supers, supers in it the more I added to the family stronger (not yet pictured) that can begin to build new combs and opercular ends of the solid.
