new address

for some reason my Mac and Typepad are non cooperative

it takes too long to upload photos

and publish post

sometimes it doesn't work at all

 

I try here instead

 

spinache bread recipe

 (to be continued here,

Typepad and my Mac don't cooperate,

as I would like)

we often bake bread in the weekends

this weekend is no exception

 

both my husband and I like to bake

(...sometimes we bake too much bread)

 

time to make spinache buns for lunch next week

all you need:

0,5 liter tempid water

20 g yest

2-3 teaspoons of salt

grated parmesan after taste

chopped spinache

(I took 4-5 frozen spinache balls from the freezer

and placed them in the fridge last night)

600 - 700 grams of flour - I use Italian tipo 00 

 

 

 

- and a bowl of course

 

 

 dissolve the yeast in the water

add salt, spinache and grated parmesan

add the flour little by little

while you stir

 

 

 

 

the good part is, that you don't have

to place your hands in the dough

the dough has to be very wet

all for now - let it raise 2 - 3 hours

 

usually I only use 5 g yeast

and let the dough raise in the fridge

for at least 8 hours

 

I'll be back later!

 

 

dreams

 

Olivia (age 17) left home this morning

with a crew pass in her bag

she is invited to watch ten shows

at Københavns Rådhus

 

 

 

her dream is to become a designer and stylist

she loves fashion (...and shoes)

today is her first day here

lucky girl

 

I wish her all the luck in the world

 

alpaca on a hot summer day

 

 I have no need for wrist warmers these days

but I needed a small knit project

while I'm waiting for the yarn

to a new fall cardigan

 

 

 

 

yarn: Indiecita Alpaca (bought here) 

the pattern (in German) is designed by

 andrella liebt herzen

 

my husband is back to work

but I'm off until Tuesday next week

I intend to enjoy every second until then

 

maybe I have time to knit leg warmers

before I get the yarn 

for my fall cardigan

 

flea market visit

 

a vintage plate for the wall in our bedroom

(...we have to paint first...)

 

 

 

I found the plate on my favorite flea market in Tisvildeleje

(it's not black, but more like the color of an eggplant) 

 

 

we had lunch and coffee here

I enjoy my (rainy) Saturday

I just hope, that you enjoy yours too

be happy

 

treats for a rainy day

 

it's still raining

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen

 

 

 

tapas for dinner

but first

coffee and catalonian chocolate marang 

 

summer food

 

I love potatoes

mashed potatoes in winter time

new potatoes in summer time

 

 

 

 

all you need for this lovely summer dish is 

 

boiled potatoes (1 - 1½ kilo)

fried spring onions and aspargus

your favorite summer tomatoe

(I used 10 snack tomatoes)

feta cheese

dill

olive oil

balsamico

dijon mustard

salt and pepper

 

let the boiled potatoes cool of a bit

then add the dressing made of

one teaspon of dijon mustard, two tablespoons of balsamico

six tablespoon olive oil, salt and peppper

add fried aspargus and spring onions

chopped dill

and finally tomatoes and feta cheese

 

beside all these ingredients

you need to hang out with people you love

and maybe enjoy a glass of wine
