Questa e' una foto d'emergenza (la riconoscete la scatola della mitica Vace pizza?!).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Il fatto e' che questo pane e' buonissimo e che importa dell'immagine!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Finalmente un pane riuscito veramente bene e non troppo difficile da fare. Richiede pazienza e tempo ma il risultato finale e' strepitoso! Potete anche fare come faccio io: si fa una pagnotta bella grande e poi si tiene fuori un quarto o la meta', si affetta il resto, si mette in sacchetti per il freezer e si congela. Ogni volta che ho voglia di una fettina la metto direttamente nel tostapane ed e' buono come il pane appena sfornato. Ma veniamo alla ricetta...per ora in inglese e appena la converto la traduco in italiano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;250 g di farina (0 o ancora piu' ricca in glutine tipo Manitoba)&lt;br /&gt;90 g di fiocchi d'avena&lt;br /&gt;18 g sale&lt;br /&gt;260 g di biga (o un panetto di lievito di birra sciolto in acqua calda)&lt;br /&gt;325 ml di acqua&lt;br /&gt;50 ml di liquore (nocino e whisky -Apple Jack-o quello che avete)&lt;br /&gt;1 bicchiere e mezzo di noci (triturate grossolanamente)&lt;br /&gt;6-7 fichi secchi (da ammollare nei 50 ml di liquore riscaldato)&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaino di miele&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ho cominciato a mettere a tostare l'avena per 5 minuti. Appena si sente il buon profumo, toglierla dal forno, lasciarla freddare per 5 minuti e poi metterla nel frullatore fino a ridurla a farina (se restano pezzetti un po' più grandi va bene lo stesso).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Triturare grossolanamente le noci e metterle da parte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ammorbidire i fichi nel microonde per 30 secondi, tagliarli a pezzettoni e metterli a mollo nel liquore per 5 minuti: ho usato nocino e Apple Jack. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mettere nella planetaria la farina bianca, la farina di avena, il sale, la biga (o il lievito), e l'acqua con il liquore usato in precedenza per ammorbidire i fichi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Amalgamare gli ingredienti per 10 minuti con il gancio&amp;nbsp; fino a che l'impasto non risulta liscio e morbido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Lasciare lievitare fino a che non raddoppia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Rimescolare il tutto aggiungendo le noci, i fichi e il miele. Mescolare aggiungendo tanta farina quanto basta per formare una palla che si può lavorare sulla spianatora senza che appiccichi alle mani.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Formare una palla, metterla su un asciugamano su cui avete sparso farina di mais e fare dei tagli sulla superficie. Se la giornata e' quasi finita, avvolgere il pane con l'asciugamano e cuocetelo la mattina seguente (come ho fatto io). Se siete a mezza giornata, copritelo e mettetelo al calduccio. Fatelo lievitare per 4 ore circa o fino a che non vedete che raddoppia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mettere una &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/02/il-pane-che-non-si-impastano-knead.html"&gt;pentola col coperchio nel forno&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, accenderlo a 200 gradi e far scaldare la pentola per mezz'ora (deve essere bollente). Aprire il forno, estrarre la pentola, scoperchiare, lanciare il pane, richiudere prima la pentola poi il forno e&amp;nbsp; lasciatelo cuocere per 40 minuti. Verra' con una deliziosa crosta croccante e caramellata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mangia mangia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my last pride. This bead is delicious and requires a bit of patience but you'll be rewarded. We have a lot of walnuts that Ann sends us every Christmas and then there is this type of bread in the store...2+2= let's get some figs and try to replicate that good bread in the bakery! Ok, they use pine nuts actually but walnuts do their job wonderfully. Let's get started...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;2 cups of all purpose flour&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1 cup of classic oat meal&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1 tbsp salt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1 cup of sourdough starter(or 1 tbsp yeast)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of liquor &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1+1/2 cups of walnuts&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (coarsely ground)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;6-7 dried figs soaked in 1/2cup of liquor (I used nocino and Apple Jack)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1 tbsp honey&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, toast the oats for 5 minutes or until you start smelling something good; let it cool down and then put it in a blender and reduce it to a flour. It doesn't matter if there are some bigger pieces. The reason why I added the oats is because I'm in search of a healthier bread recipe with more fibers and oats make the trick. If toasted, it is very good.&lt;br /&gt;Coarsely grind the walnuts and put them aside.&lt;br /&gt;Chop the figs in big pieces and let them soak in the liquor (I used apple Jack and Nocino that is an Italian liquor made with walnuts). You can use any type of liquor, consider that when you bake your bread it evaporates and it doesn't really add anything to the flavor. Put them in the microwave for 20 seconds and they will get softer faster.&lt;br /&gt;In a mixing bowl put the flour, the oats, the salt and the starter (or a tbsp of granulated yeast). To give it a kick, I used David's sourdough started and it goes really well with the sweet of the figs and the nutty flavor if the walnuts. Mix all together adding the water and the liquor from the figs, and knead it. I use the mixer for 10 minutes. Leave it in the bowl and let it rise until it doubles (it might take 2-4h).&lt;br /&gt;Put back the bowl on the mixer and knead it again adding the honey, the figs and the walnuts. Add flour if needed until you get a smooth ball. Put it on the table, give it the shape you want, make some cuts on the surface and let it rest on a towel sprinkled with corn flower. Sprinkle corn flour on top of the bread too, cover it and let it rise. If it is late in the day you can leave it outside and let it rise overnight. If it's early, wait until it doubles its size (2-4h). &lt;a href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/02/il-pane-che-non-si-impastano-knead.html"&gt;Then bake it following the know-knead bread recipe&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;The smell is great and it's great with everything, sweet and savory things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mangia mangia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-6447123524036654153?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6447123524036654153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2011/03/pane-con-le-noci-di-anna-e-fichi-secchi.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/6447123524036654153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/6447123524036654153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2011/03/pane-con-le-noci-di-anna-e-fichi-secchi.html' title='Pane alle noci e fichi secchi - Bread with walnuts and dried figs'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YBjvPCFHnJQ/TY_h-z987KI/AAAAAAAAATQ/zOOK8Kpwrjg/s72-c/photo%25283%2529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-1830069123912275303</id><published>2010-07-19T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-19T02:57:36.607-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='erbe aromatiche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giardino sul davanzale'/><title type='text'>Un giardino sul davanzale</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TEQfzsfJEDI/AAAAAAAAASA/TkBzoHNALiU/s1600/erbe.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="296" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TEQfzsfJEDI/AAAAAAAAASA/TkBzoHNALiU/s400/erbe.gif" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;E' da un po' che non posto una ricetta, ma sarà il caldo e il fatto che ho molto da fare...a mettermi sui fornelli ultimamente proprio non mi va (gia' sento i buuuuu). Mi nutro prevalentemente di frutta (poi postero' anche le immagini di qualche frutto interessante in cui sono incappata ultimamente, frutto dei piu' ridicoli incroci genetici!). Eppure quando ogni mattina al risveglio vedo le nostre piantine crescere rigogliose mi vien da ringraziare il cielo per tutte queste erbette aromatiche che, anche se lontano, mi ricordano i profumi di casa. Ma siii...lo so che la casa si trova dove si trova il cuore ma se il mio cuore e' diviso tra due mondi...le erbette aromatiche non possono far altro che aiutare!&lt;br /&gt;A Washington il nostro appartamento non ha un balcone e la voglia di avere un po' di basilico a portata di mani era tanta che quest'anno il nostro davanzale puo' far invidia all'orticello del vicino. Inoltre essendo al quarto piano non dobbiamo fare a gara con gli scoiattoli. Tra l'altro qui e' vietato mettere i vasi sul davanzale perche' se cadono sono un pericolo, ma dato che di sotto c'e' un giardino e solo occasionalmente c'e' un giardiniere ( e qualche fumatore incallito), abbiamo deciso di correre il rischio! Abbiamo i vasi e i sottovasi in terracotta rigorosamente "Made in Italy" che sono belli pesanti e ogni tanto (come stamattina) uno dei vasetti piu' piccoli in plastica ci vola giu' dalla finestra...ma per fortuna il giardiniere non c'era!&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo il basilico che e' rispuntato dal rametto rimasto dall'anno scorso! Non lo sapevo, ma se lo tieni all'interno e' una pianta perenne e non annuale. Dobbiamo innaffiarlo ogni mattina e a volte aggiungere quella polverina blu magica che gli da tutti i nutrimenti necessari.&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo l'origano (che ha letteralmente invaso e ucciso la salvia); ha bisogno di pochissime cure e fa dei fiori carinissimi.&lt;br /&gt;Il rosmarino (che avuto un inverno un po' duro all'interno ma adesso e' di nuovo all'aria aperta e in fase di recupero. All'interno, me mancanza di aria, sviluppa unas specie di muffetta sulle foglie. Una volta fuori e con un po' di polverina blu e' rinato!).&lt;br /&gt;L'alloro, che qui costa una cifra, quest'anno e' raddoppiato di dimensioni e devo trattenere Todd dal potarlo in stile Edward mani di forbici! Prima o poi dovremo potarlo pero' perche' il davanzale e' quello che e'...&lt;br /&gt;Infine la menta, ultima arrivata, dono dello zio Anthony. &lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo provato l'aglio, anche questo dono di Anthony, ma gli uccelli l'hanno sradicato! A proposito, gli uccelli qui si sono divorati le mie Dalie e le Bocche di Leone, nonche' il tronchetto della felicita!&lt;br /&gt;L'anno scorso abbiamo messo i pomodori e anche se non hanno dato frutti, la pianta e' bella e profumatissima.&lt;br /&gt;In bocca al lupo a chiunque voglia provare a fare un giardino sul davanzale!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-1830069123912275303?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/1830069123912275303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/07/un-giardino-sul-davanzale.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/1830069123912275303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/1830069123912275303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/07/un-giardino-sul-davanzale.html' title='Un giardino sul davanzale'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TEQfzsfJEDI/AAAAAAAAASA/TkBzoHNALiU/s72-c/erbe.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-875868314681433053</id><published>2010-06-07T18:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-07T18:11:00.616-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='costolette brasate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='braised ribs'/><title type='text'>Costolette di maiale brasate - Braised pork Ribs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlts2NWEWI/AAAAAAAAAQA/GUHN11XU5QE/s1600/P1010699.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479031038906077538" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlts2NWEWI/AAAAAAAAAQA/GUHN11XU5QE/s320/P1010699.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Trovate la ricetta originale sul sito "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/braised_beef_short_ribs/"&gt;Simply Recipes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" scritta da &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Elise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. La ricetta e' facile ma richiede un po' di tempo. O la fate la mattina per la cena oppure va preparata nel pomeriggio per poi servirla il giorno dopo. Considerate 3 ore per il primo giorno (prevalentemente di attesa durante la cottura) e un'ora e mezza prima di mangiarle. L'attesa vale tutta la pena...queste sono le migliori costolette che io abbia mai assaggiato. Ho modificato la ricetta di Elise perche' invece delle costolette di manzo ho usate quelle di maiale, invece del brodo di manzo ho usato quello di pollo, e invece di carote e sedano ho usato le cime di rapa e l'aglio (che gli danno quel non so che di amarognolo che a me piace tanto). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Inoltre ho usato un bel tegame grande col coperchio invece della padella perche' le costolette e il vino e il brodo non mi entravano nella padella. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Insomma, e' il metodo che conta, il resto e' un po' a vostro gusto e a quello che avete nel frigo! Vi do la ricetta cosi' come la scrive Elise ma in italiano e poi fate voi le modifiche che volete.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="dct-tt" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Costolette di Manzo Brasate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="dct-tt"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="recipe-ingredients"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;12 costolette di manzo con l'osso &lt;i&gt;(io ho usato le costolette di maiale)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sale e pepe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Olio d'oliva&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cipolla gialla a pezzetti&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 costa di sedano a pezzetti &lt;i&gt;(io ho usato aglio) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 carota a pezzetti&lt;i&gt; (io ho usato le cime di rapa)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;750-ml di vino rosso &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 tazze di brodo di manzo o di vitello &lt;i&gt;(io ho usato quello di pollo)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlth7FVEkI/AAAAAAAAAP4/ZvCp9RedEV0/s1600/P1010685.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479030851236074050" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlth7FVEkI/AAAAAAAAAP4/ZvCp9RedEV0/s320/P1010685.JPG" style="float: left; height: 148px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 199px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="recipe-method"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlw8sZ0nnI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/eDFOnxlJjj8/s1600/P1010689.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479034609686847090" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlw8sZ0nnI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/eDFOnxlJjj8/s200/P1010689.JPG" style="float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ricetta&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"&gt;1.

(Potete anche sigillare le costolette un po' per volta se sono &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"&gt;troppe tutte insieme).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlt9C3YosI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/KtMlyh8QngM/s1600/P1010691.JPG" onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479031317181539010" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlt9C3YosI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/KtMlyh8QngM/s200/P1010691.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;2. Aggiungere la cipolla, la carota e il sedano allo stesso tegame e far imbiondire il tutto per circa 5 minuti.&lt;i&gt;(Io ho usato la cipolla, l'aglio e le cime di rapa)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Rimuovere le verdure e metterle da parte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Aggiungere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;allo stesso tegame il vino rosso e grattare dal fondo i residui lasciati dalla carne  e dalle verdure. &lt;i&gt;(Io ho &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAluGrB7ylI/AAAAAAAAAQY/u_q1v3JiyR0/s1600/P1010693.JPG" onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479031482582026834" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAluGrB7ylI/AAAAAAAAAQY/u_q1v3JiyR0/s200/P1010693.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;aggiunto anche un rametto di rosmarino e un paio di chiodi di garofano).&lt;/i&gt; Ridurre il vino di 3 quarti (circa 15 minuti).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAluORcujeI/AAAAAAAAAQg/_MhuPXfyU_w/s1600/P1010694.JPG" onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479031613154037218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAluORcujeI/AAAAAAAAAQg/_MhuPXfyU_w/s200/P1010694.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;3. Rimettere le costolette nel tegame con il vino, aggiungere il brodo e se &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;necessario aggiungere tanta acqua quanta ne basta per coprire le costolette. Coprire con il coperchio o con l'alluminio e mettere in forno fino a che la forchetta non penetri facilmente nella carne (2  ore o 2ore e mezza).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Aggiungere le verdure e far cuocere per un'altra mezz'ora). Togliere dal fuoco e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;lasciar freddare. Mettere il tutto in frigo per la notte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlumH393mI/AAAAAAAAAQo/HIx018_D-7I/s1600/P1010697.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479032022900792930" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlumH393mI/AAAAAAAAAQo/HIx018_D-7I/s200/P1010697.JPG" style="float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;4. Il grasso sarà solidificato in superficie, potete buttarlo usando un cucchiaio. Mettere il tegame, scoperto, sul fuoco per un'altra ora e far ridurre il sughino fino a che non diventa sciropposo di consistenza. Con un cucchiaio mantenete bagnate le costolette e cercate di muoverle ogni tanto per non far bruciare la salsa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;5. MANGIARE!! Ricetta buonissima!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Braised pork Ribs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The original recipe is written by &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Elise&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/braised_beef_short_ribs/"&gt;Simply  Recipes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;". GREAT JOB ELISE! And thank you for sharing it. I hope you won't mind if I added the link of your recipe to  my blog. I know that everybody in Italy would love these ribs!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The recipe is very easy, it just takes some time so either you prepare it in the afternoon and you eat it the following day for lunch or dinner, or you prepare it in the morning and then you can eat it for dinner. It takes 3 hours to get to the step where you can store it in the refridgerator. And then another hour before serving them. The meat falls right off the bone...these ribs are simply delicious!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Instead of the beef ribs I used pork ribs; instead of carrots and celery I used garlic and rappini; and I added some rosemary and cloves to the wine reduction. I guess it really depends on what you have in your refrigerator...the method is always the same and it's awesome!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-875868314681433053?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/875868314681433053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/06/costolette-di-maiale-brasate-braised.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/875868314681433053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/875868314681433053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/06/costolette-di-maiale-brasate-braised.html' title='Costolette di maiale brasate - Braised pork Ribs'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/TAlts2NWEWI/AAAAAAAAAQA/GUHN11XU5QE/s72-c/P1010699.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-3295938905952022607</id><published>2010-05-27T08:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-27T11:14:32.698-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ice Cream'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gelato senza uova crude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gelato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ice Cream without raw eggs'/><title type='text'>IL GELATO SENZA LE UOVA CRUDE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So che molte persone stanno cercando una ricetta per il gelato senza utilizzare le uova crude. Seguite la ricetta del &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/il-gelato.html"&gt;Gelato&lt;/a&gt; per gli ingredienti e le quantità.&lt;br /&gt;Avete diverse opzioni:&lt;br /&gt;1) La prima fase e' di montare le uova con lo zucchero per 10 minuti usando un frullino. Effettuate questa operazione a bagno maria, come quando fate lo zabaione. Accertatevi pero' che l'acqua nel pentolino sottostante sia in ebollizione. Le uova si montano bene lo stesso e vengono "cotte" delicatamente con la temperatura dell'acqua a 100 gradi. Procedete poi con il resto della ricetta.&lt;br /&gt;3) Non so in Italia, ma qui in America ci sono le uova pastorizzate. Si  trovano nel reparto frigo vicino al latte e alle uova e sono in un  cartone (senza il guscio per intenderci). Potete usare quelle, sono state pastorizzate e quindi non correte il rischio di prendere la Salmonella.&lt;br /&gt;2) Potete anche seguire la ricetta della crema pasticcera e utilizzare quella come ricetta per fare il gelato. Trovate una buona base sulla ricetta del &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/04/il-gelato-pulcino.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;gelato pulcino&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt; Poi potete aggiungere cioccolato o liquori vari per dare il sapore che più vi piace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;HOW TO MAKE GELATO WITHOUT RAW EGGS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I know that many people are looking for a Gelato recipe that doesn't call for raw eggs. Follow the recipe of the &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/il-gelato.html"&gt;Gelato&lt;/a&gt; in term of ingredients and quantities. You now have few options:&lt;br /&gt;1) The first step is to use a hand mixer and whip the egg with the sugar for 10 minutes until it gets fluffy. Do this part in a bowl that you put on top of a pot filled with water, on top of a stove. You can mix the egg and the sugar while the water is boiling underneath and your eggs will be cooked and still they will become fluffy.&lt;br /&gt;2) Use pasteurized eggs. They are the once that you find in the carton box in the refrigerated section. They are treated in the same way as the milk and there is no danger of getting Salmonella.&lt;br /&gt;3) Use the recipe of a custard (that require flower and no need of cream) and then you can add the ingredients you like: chocolate, liquors...Follow the recipe for the &lt;a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/04/il-gelato-pulcino.html"&gt;Gelato Pulcino&lt;/a&gt; and you'll be ok.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-3295938905952022607?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/il-gelato.html' title='IL GELATO SENZA LE UOVA CRUDE'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/3295938905952022607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/il-gelato-senza-le-uova-crude.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/3295938905952022607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/3295938905952022607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/il-gelato-senza-le-uova-crude.html' title='IL GELATO SENZA LE UOVA CRUDE'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-1321028991018875875</id><published>2010-05-22T11:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-24T12:48:15.958-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pasta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pecorino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fave'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primi piatti'/><title type='text'>Pasta Primavera: con fave e pecorino</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_gnYhTrqVI/AAAAAAAAAPI/d_Xx7NSjXv8/s1600/P1010682.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474168649280104786" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_gnYhTrqVI/AAAAAAAAAPI/d_Xx7NSjXv8/s320/P1010682.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ottima ricettina primaverile. Siamo un po' in ritardo con i festeggiamenti del primo Maggio ma come dice Todd...sara' pur primo Maggio da qualche parte nel mondo no?&lt;br /&gt;Vi do la ricetta cosi' come Mariangela me l'ha data perche' e' facilissima da seguire. Ho avuto problemi a trovare la 'nduja. O meglio, l'ho trovata ma vi assicuro che ha lo stesso nome ma non sembra esattamente quello che dovrebbe essere. Allora mi sono buttata sul &lt;a href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html"&gt;lonzino piccante&lt;/a&gt; che ha preparato Todd e ho aggiunto un po' di peperoncino in piu'. E' venuta buonissima. Le fave che ho trovato sono un po' piccole, niente a che vedere con quegli scafi belli che aveva nonna nell'orto, ma sono buone lo stesso. La pasta che ho usato sembra integrale perche' l'ho cotta nella stessa acqua che ho usato per sbollentare le fave (gli dara' piu' sapore...ho pensato io). Ma le fave hanno tinto l'acqua di rosso. Saranno le fave transgeniche americane o succede anche con le fave italiane?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_gnpvps8NI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/Qr5Z8j2hNFQ/s1600/P1010674.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474168945188335826" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_gnpvps8NI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/Qr5Z8j2hNFQ/s200/P1010674.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;INGREDIENTI (per 4 persone)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;500 gr.di orecchiette pugliesi;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;200 gr.di fave fresche sgusciate meglio &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;se piccole;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;2 fette tagliate spesse di salame piccante tipo 'nduja calabrese (ma và benissimo qualsiasi altro tipo di salame purchè piccantissimo);&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;2 scalogni (o 2 piccole cipolle di varietà dolce);&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;ecorino romano grattugiato q.b.;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff6600;"&gt;olio extravergine di oliva.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scottare le fave in acqua bollente in modo da poter eliminare la pellicina esterna.&lt;br /&gt;Tagliare lo scalogno sottilissimo e farlo dorare in padella con l'olio &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_goHLkNYFI/AAAAAAAAAPY/TI7pXgQ3aNA/s1600/P1010678.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474169450897694802" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_goHLkNYFI/AAAAAAAAAPY/TI7pXgQ3aNA/s200/P1010678.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(abbondante:deve condire la pasta!).&lt;br /&gt;Aggiungere le fave spellate, cuocere per non più di 5 minuti a fuoco medio (gli ingredienti non devono friggere).&lt;br /&gt;Intanto tagliare a cubetti piccolissimi il salame ed aggiungerlo alle fave.&lt;br /&gt;Dopo aver lessato le orecchiette, scolarle e passarle nella padella del condimento: saltare, togliere dal fuoco, spolverare di pecorino grattugiato e...buon appetito!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

It's easy, fast and delicious. I couldn't find the 'nduja (a spicy Italian salame) and I used the spicy &lt;a href="http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html"&gt;lonza &lt;/a&gt;that Todd used but you can use any type of salame, as long as it is spicy. We usually use fava beans and pecorino (romano cheese) to celebrate the 1st of May, that for us is labor day. We are a bit late with the celebration but, as Todd says, it must be the 1st of May somewhere!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ingredients for 4 people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;500 g of orecchiete pasta (De Cecco has it)&lt;br /&gt;200 g of fresh fava beans (better if small)&lt;br /&gt;2 thick slices of 'nduja of Calabria (it's ok also to use any type of salame as long as it is spicy...pepperoni!)&lt;br /&gt;2 chopped scallions (or 2 small red onions that are sweeter than the yellow)&lt;br /&gt;Grated Pecorino (romano cheese)&lt;br /&gt;Extra virgin olive oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quickly boil the fava beans. It is easier to remove the skin.&lt;br /&gt;In a pan put some olive oil and the scallions. Let it cook on medium heat until golden and add the fava beans. It doesn't have to fry, it just need to get nice and warm. No longer than 5 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;Cut the salame in small pieces and add it to the pan. In the meantime cook the orecchiette in boiling water, strain it and add it to pan as well. Mix all together so that all the flavors blend. You can add red pepper, black pepper and salt to taste at this point. Plate it grate on top the romano cheese.

Questo gelato e' tutto per la tua mamma. Se l'e' proprio meritato. Lo so che non lo potete assaggiare, ma lo faremo noi per voi...e' buonissimo! In effetti, Fede, questa ricetta me l'hai data tu ed e' facilissima...sei o non sei la regina del "tutto in 5 minuti?!" &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meno male che a fare Carletto hai avuto piu' pazienza!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PC4HlKIXI/AAAAAAAAAO0/xl0_E-B4ofg/s1600/P1010656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PC4HlKIXI/AAAAAAAAAO0/xl0_E-B4ofg/s200/P1010656.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti (per 2 persone):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;1 uovo intero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;100 gr panna liquida da montare&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;1 cucchiaio colmo di zucchero&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PDQ-MnyqI/AAAAAAAAAPE/kMScgGw1uuE/s1600/P1010662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PDQ-MnyqI/AAAAAAAAAPE/kMScgGw1uuE/s200/P1010662.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sapore: non aggiungere niente e avrete il classico gelato alla crema. Se volete potete aggiungere un cucchiaio di liquore tipo Grand Marnier, Kalua, liquore al caffe', Baileys o liquore al cioccolato tipo Godiva Liquor...oppure cioccolata fusa, o burro di arachidi...insomma quello che volete. Ricordatevi solo che i pezzettini di frutta non vanno bene perche' diventano congelati. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Ricetta:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;Montare la panna e metterla in frigo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;Sbattere con la frusta l'uovo e lo zucchero fino a quando diventa montato e diventa bianco (circa 10 minuti).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PDMyeXH7I/AAAAAAAAAO4/4R6BtsCkL5w/s1600/P1010669.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S_PDMyeXH7I/AAAAAAAAAO4/4R6BtsCkL5w/s200/P1010669.JPG" border="0" width="200" height="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Unire la panna montata, il cucchiaio di liquore, e mescolare per bene con un cucchiaio. Io questa volta ho messo un cucchiaio di cioccolato fuso e uno di burro di arachidi (il preferito di Todd). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;Mettere in frigo e mesorale ogni mezz'ora per 3-4 volte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Fede e Mauro...CONGRATS!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piccoli consigli per preparare il gelato in sicurezza:&lt;br /&gt;1) questa ricetta richiede l'uso di uova che non vanno cotte, quindi se gia' state storcendo la bocca...questa ricetta non fa per voi.&lt;br /&gt;2) se, come me, volete fare il gelato comunque perche' siete in crisi d'astinenza (qui ancora un gelato decente lo devono inventare) seguite questi accorgimenti e ricoradtevi che l'uovo, all'interno, e' del tutto sterile e i "pericoli si annidano nel guscio. Comperate uova freschissime. Io mi affido a quelle del supermercato biologiche perche' sono controllate in genere di piu' di quelle non biologiche o di quelle del contadino. Inoltre vengono lavate con potenti detergenti prima di essere messe nei contenitori. Le galline vengono selezionate in modo da essere piu' resistenti alle infezioni da Salmonella che se presente e' sul guscio.&lt;br /&gt;3) Rompete l'uovo senza far cadere pezzetti di guscio&lt;br /&gt;4) Lavorate cercando di mantenere la temperatura di tutti gli ingredienti piu' fredda possibile.&lt;br /&gt;5) Invece di usare le uova crude potete seguire la stessa procedura ma sbattendo le uova a bagno maria come per preparare lo zabaione. In questo modo non avete il problema delle uova crude e il gelato viene buono lo stesso!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;IL GELATO (with no ice cream maker)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt;CARLO! This ice cream is for your mom. She really deserve it. I know you can't taste it, but we will taste it for you ... it 's really good! In fact, Fede, you gave me this recipe and it's very easy... you're the queen of "all-in five minutes!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt;Thank goodness you had more patience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt; in making Carletto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);font-size:large;" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt;Ingredients (for 2):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="transc dct-rlnk"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;1 whole egg&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;100 gr whipping cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;1 full spoon of sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29); text-align: center;"&gt;Flavor: if you don;t add anything you'll get a classic custard-flavored gelato. As an alternative, you can add a spoon of liquor (Grand Marier, Kalua, Baileys, Godiva liquor...) or a spoon of melted chocolate or whatever you prefer. I used a spoon of melted chocolate and a spoon of penut butter. Don't use little piece of fruit because they will freeze.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Recipe: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29); text-align: center;"&gt;Whip the cream and put it in the refrigerator. Whip the egg with the sugar until it becomes white and fluffy (10 minutes). Add your flavor and the whipped cream and using a spoon gently mix everything together. Put in the freezer and mix it every 30 minutes for 3-4 times. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Fede and Mauro...CONGRATS!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;To prepare gelato safely:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;1) if you don't like the idea of using raw eggs, this recipe is not for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;2) if, like me, you still want to make it because you really miss that great flavor or simply because you want to touch heaven with your tongue...then use only fresh eggs. I use fresh local organic eggs from the store. Remember that the egg, inside, is sterile. Salmonella, if present, is on the shell. The store sells eggs that have been carefully washed. Not only, the chickens are selected to be more resistant to Salmonella.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;3) Open the egg avoiding to breake the shell in small pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;4) prepare the recipe keeping everhing outside the refrigerator for the shortest time possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;5) If you really want to cook the eggs, whip the eggs in a bowl on top of another bowl full of water on top of the stove as if you were making zabaione. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-3064763650826260520?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/' title='IL GELATO (senza gelatiera)!

Rebecca, la sorella di Todd, mi ha insegnato che cosa sono i pop overs e come si fanno quando eravamo tutti a casa dei nonni. E' una ricetta facile e anche i bambini possono cimentarsi perche' non c'e' neanche il rischio che si scottino con il forno. La ricetta e' presa, non a caso, dal libro di ricette per bambini "For Good Measure". &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vengono fuori una specie di bigne', ne' dolci ne' salati, quindi ci si puo' sbizzarrire con i ripieni: marmellata, nutella...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;E' una di quelle ricette che tornano utili quando hai ospiti all'improvviso e non hai niente pronto da offrire. Servono solo uova, latte (o acqua) e farina, e in mezz'ora sono pronti. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRIx3tS_I/AAAAAAAAANs/VGaPa0D5fc4/s1600/P1010612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRIx3tS_I/AAAAAAAAANs/VGaPa0D5fc4/s200/P1010612.jpg" width="187" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1 uovo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1/2 tazza di latte (io uso quello totalmente scremato e se si vuole usare acqua vengono bene lo stesso)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;1/2 tazza di farina&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Un pizzico di sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRL0DBDCI/AAAAAAAAAN4/B4PndhpLNUA/s1600/P1010615.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRL0DBDCI/AAAAAAAAAN4/B4PndhpLNUA/s200/P1010615.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xROFiqDcI/AAAAAAAAAOA/mglUkzdM_Lo/s1600/P1010619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xROFiqDcI/AAAAAAAAAOA/mglUkzdM_Lo/s200/P1010619.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="195" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Rompere l'uovo in una ciotola, unire il latte e mescolare insieme. Aggiungere la farina e il pizzico di sale e mescolare. Proviamo ad eliminare i grumi, ma se ne resta qualcuno va bene lo stesso. No big deal! (come direbbero qui). Versare il composto in una teglia per muffin, che avremo precedentemente unto per bene per non farli attaccare, e mettere il tutto&amp;nbsp; IN FORNO&lt;br /&gt;FREDDO. Accendere il forno a 230 gradi e cuocere per 30 minuti senza aprire mai il forno per sbirciare mi raccomando. Ne vengono 4 o 6 se mettete meno impasto negli stampini. Avrete una simpatica sorpesa quando aprirete il forno...buonissimi i pop overs!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRD5fa-pI/AAAAAAAAANk/FyARvvPOWJg/s1600/P1010625.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="172" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S9xRD5fa-pI/AAAAAAAAANk/FyARvvPOWJg/s320/P1010625.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #990000; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;POP OVERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is a very easy recipe that Todd's family makes every time we gather together, for breakfast.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rebecca, Todd's sister, taught me for the fisrt time what pop overs are and how to make them when we were on vacation with the grandparents. Also a child can make them since there is not even the need to worry about the hot oven. The recipe is taken from a recipe book for children "For Good Measure".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;It's an ideal recipe for when you have guests over and nothing in the house to offer.

Sono tanti i ricordi legati a questo manuale e per questo la tua idea, Sabrine, mi e' piaciuta tanto appena l'ho letta. La prima ricetta a cui ho pensato, senza ombra di dubbio, vedendo il tuo banner e' stata: LE CIAMBELLINE GASTONE. Che buone! Mamma le prepara ogni volta che ci viene a trovare e sono sempre state un successone. Una tira l'altra...ideali per la colazione inzuppate nel latte e ideali per il dopocena inzuppate nel vinello! Apro il manuale (uno dei primi libri che mamma mi ha spedito e che e' arrivato illeso nonostante il pacco fosse stato aperto...il manuale di frate indovino non ce l'ha fatta...ma 'sti ladri postali non capiscono proprio nulla!); dicevo...apro il manuale e lo sfoglio...la ricetta deve essermi sfuggita...lo risfoglio...cerco con attenzione meticolosa nell'indice...chiedo a mamma, a Silvia e a Federica...deve essere li! Insomma, per farla corta la ricetta delle mitiche ciambelline Gastone non e' nel manuale!!! La simpatia per nonna papera deve essere stata tale che le abbiamo ribattezzate con quel nome e prese da qualche altra parte...chissa' se qualcun'altro li fuori ne ha mai sentito parlare?! Mah!&lt;br /&gt;Altra piccola "sudden revelation" e' stata quando ho fatto vedere a Todd, Americano doc, il manuale di nonna Papera. Qui in America nonna Papera non e' molto conosciuta...Todd non si ricorda neanche il nome in inglese...CHE????!!!!!...non solo, Topolino (il giornaletto settimanale che collezionavamo da bambine) qui non sanno proprio che cosa sia...ARICHE??!!! ARIMAH!!!&lt;br /&gt;A questo punto ho la missione di introdurlo al manuale di Nonna Papera...altrimenti e' un buco nell'educazione di Todd e non puo' andare a dire in giro che e' per meta' italiano! La ricetta del gelato pulcino e' stata la piu' adatta al caldo dello scorso fine settimana,ai miei amici e' piaciuto molto. Il risultato e' un gelato alla crema vellutato e rinfrescante. Buonissimo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eccola qui, come riportata da nonna:&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S8yy7BlY92I/AAAAAAAAANY/oZ4e_p6XoPE/s1600/P1010538-II.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461937175200855906" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S8yy7BlY92I/AAAAAAAAANY/oZ4e_p6XoPE/s320/P1010538-II.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 320px;" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100g zucchero&lt;br /&gt;4 tuorli&lt;br /&gt;1/2 litro di latte&lt;br /&gt;1 stecca di vaniglia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come si procede:&lt;br /&gt;E’ questo il classico gelato alla crema. Montate i tuorli con lo zucchero e versateci sopra il latte bollito con la vaniglia, poco alla volta, mescolando. Mettete a cuocere a fiamma viva, ma...attenzione!!! Appena vedrete la crema levare un fil di fumo, abbassate la fiamma e mescolate continuamente. La crema sara’ “cotta” quando la vedrete attaccarsi al cucchiaio di legno. Versate in tazzine e mettetele in fresco.&lt;br /&gt;Io le metto in freezer e le mescolo ogni mezz'ora per 2 ore in modo da rompere i cristalli di ghiaccio che si formano nel frattempo e da dare al gelato la giusta consistenza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(116, 27, 71);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Il Gelato Pulcino (Gelato of the chick) - without raw eggs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ingredients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;100g sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;4 egg yolks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;500ml milk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;few drops of vanilla extract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Recipe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;This is the classic Gelato custard-flavored. Bring to a boil the milk with the vanilla. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and add to them the boiling milk, few at a time, stirring. Put on a high flame but...be careful!!! As soon as you see a bit of steam coming up from the liquid, lower the flame and stir continuously. Le custard will be "cooked" when it sticks to the wooden spoon. Pour it in a container and freeze it. Every 30 minutes mix it until it solidifies. MANGIA! MANGIA!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: black; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;  Last weekend was a great weekend: we finally made RAVIOLIS! Aunt Carol gave us the recipe and Todd said that these are exactly the same as the once that his "nonnu" would make. I agree, they are delicious. It took us the whole weekend, a lot of energy and 6 people to make them but it was totally worth it. Thanks to Donna, David, Shana and Noah...we would still be there rolling the dough otherwise!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;I post the recipe as ant Carol sent it and you can watch the videos for the execution. Awesome weekend everybody!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;A huge amount of eggs: we started with 3 dozens and we had to add a couple more (dozen of course!)...a huge amount of meat and parmigiano...a huge amount of work! This is one of those events that we like to share with family members, it's not something that we could make alone. You could of course reduce the amount of the ingredients (as my mom suggested) but it wouldn't be the same. Carol and Lena would make them together and share the raviolis with the rest of the family. They last for several months in the freezer and as soon as they are finished I'm sure it's time to gather the family again and make some more!

I usually make 2 or 3 batches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Using an Altas dough machine. Roll out the dough, which has been cut into quarters, to the desired thickness (4 or 5 on the machine).  Be sure to keep the other dough covered until you are ready to use it.  Spread some of the stuffing on the bottom dough and cover it with another piece of dough.  Using a ravioli rolling pin roll the two pieces of dough together using good pressure so the dough pinches together.&lt;br /&gt;Cut the pillows apart using a ravioli cutter.  Sprinkle them with a little Wondra flour and place on a cookie sheet or in boxes lined with wax paper or parchment and sprinkled with Wondra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;E come sempre...in italiano:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Lo scorso fine settimana e' stato stupendo: abbiamo finalmente preparato i ravioli! Zia Carol ci ha dato la ricetta e Todd dice che sono esattamente come quelli che il preparava suo "nonu". Sono d'accordo, sono deliziosi. Ci abbiamo messo tutto il fine settimana per farli, tanta energia e 6 persone in tutto ma ne valeva la pena. Grazie a Donna, David, Shana e Noah...senza di loro saremmo ancora a tirare la sfoglia! Mitico fine settimana!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Una quantita' industriale di uova: abbiamo cominciato con 3 dozzine e poi ne abbiamo aggiunte un paio in piu' (non di uova...di dozzine!)...una quantita' industriale di carne e parmigiano...un sacco di lavoro! Questo e' uno di quegli eventi che ci piace condividere con la famiglia (che culo per loro eh?!), da soli non ce la potremmo mai fare. Certo, si potrebbero ridurre gli ingredienti (come ha suggerito mamma) ma non sarebbe lo stesso. Carol e Lena li facevano cosi' e ne preparavano a sufficienza per tutta la famiglia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Il Ripieno &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;(da preparare un giorno prima)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="color: black; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;1 pollo allo spiedo&lt;br /&gt;1 kg di arista di maiale&lt;br /&gt;0.5 kg di salsicce&lt;br /&gt;0.5 kg di vitello&lt;br /&gt;250 g burro&lt;br /&gt;mezzo bicch. di olio d'oliva&lt;br /&gt;1 pezzo di pane raffermo da ammorbidire con i succhi che escono dalla carne una volta cotta&lt;br /&gt;6 cespi di bieta&lt;br /&gt;3 cipolle&lt;br /&gt;1 cespo di prezzemolo&lt;br /&gt;10 spicchi d'aglio&lt;br /&gt;maggiorana, timo, rosmarino&lt;br /&gt;1kg di parmigiano&lt;br /&gt;24 uova&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;Mettere la carne in una teglia, aggiungere sale e pepe, e infornare per un'ora a 180 gradi.

Usare tanta farina quanta e raccoglie. I ravioli hanno bisogno di una pasta abbastanza umida, quindi aggiungere due cucchiai di olio d'oliva e un po' d'acqua fino a raggiungere una consistenza elastica. Avvolgere in pellicola e lasciar riposare per mezz'ora.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Queste dosi non sono abbastanza per tutto il ripieno. Preparane almeno 3 o 4 volte tanto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Tirare la sfoglia a mano o con nonna papera (fino a 4 o 5). Infarinare lo stampo e stendervi sopra la sfoglia. Mettere il ripieno e coprire con un'altra sfoglia. Con il matterello sigillare bene e capovolgere. Usando un taglia sfoglia separare i ravioli e metterli su carta oleatae infarinata. Cosi' avvolti li abbiamo messi in buste di plastica e congelati velocemente in ghiaccio secco (il nostro freezer e' molto piccolo e non volevamo mettere le buste una sopra l'altra con il rischio che si appiccicassero) e trasferiti nel freezer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Be', lasciate una busta fuori e cuocetela...dopo tutta la fatica fatta ve li meritate questi fantastici ravioli!

Sono troppo stanca adesso per scrivere, ma la foto e' solo un piccolo assaggino. Zia Carol ci ha dato la ricetta e devo dire che questi ravioli valgono tutta la fatica del fine settimana: Sabato il ripieno e oggi la sfoglia e l'assemblaggio finale. Grazie mille a Donna, David, Shana e Noah senza i quali adesso saremmo ancora preparare il ripieno!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's 8pm of Sunday night and we just finished preparing from 1158 to 1728 ravioli: 24 bags with 48 or 72 ravioli each (depends on the size)...it's been an epic weekend and I'll soon post the recipe. Now I'm too tired to write it down, but the picture is only a small taste of it. Aunt Carol gave us the recipe and I have to admit that these ravioli are worth the whole effort of this weekend: Saturday the filling and Sunday the dough. Thanks to Donna, David, Shana and Noah because without them we would still be preparing the filling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;E questo e' solo l'inizio: 1kg di arista di maiale, 1/2 kg di salsicce e 1/2 kg vitello...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is just the beginning: 2 lb pork, 1 lb sausages, 1lb (actually the recipe called for 0.5 lb) of veal stew&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-4737782994519870167?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/4737782994519870167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-ravioli-raviolis.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/4737782994519870167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/4737782994519870167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-ravioli-raviolis.html' title='I RAVIOLI - anteprima/ RAVIOLIS - preview'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S7lDTOCXo1I/AAAAAAAAANI/35A24kdcxoE/s72-c/photo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-3794799490122115190</id><published>2010-03-29T08:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-31T17:07:54.536-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolci'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Colazione'/><title type='text'>Crispy Waffle with an over night rising dough / I Waffle croccanti</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="330" height="235"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wTEBJP0dzcQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wTEBJP0dzcQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;These waffle batter requires to be prepared the night before.

Ero al telefono con Federica, mia sorella, che ha il grande privilegio di avere mamma a casa per qualche giorno...cuoca eccezionale. Gira e rigira, siamo andati a parlare di che? DEL MINESTRONE! Non e' che proprio non mi piaccia, ma non e' il mio piatto preferito, soprattutto se comincio a pensare alle verdure (surgelate) che utilizzerei per farlo. Se proprio devo, preferisco il passato di verdure (non a caso il minipimer ad immersione e' il mio elettrodomestico preferito...dopo big Charlie ed Ercolina...prima o poi ve li faccio vedere). Comunque, dopo questa entusiasmante conversazione con Federica, il senso di colpa per non mangiare abbastanza verdure mi ha assalito! Mi sono quindi ricordata che Sabato scorso io e Todd siamo andati al mercatino biologico e abbiamo comperato una cosa del tutto nuova (per noi): &lt;b style="color: rgb(106, 168, 79);"&gt;i carciofi di Gerusalemme&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wRg7owxcI/AAAAAAAAALg/ugiSmf98rFw/s1600/P1010436.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 218px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wRg7owxcI/AAAAAAAAALg/ugiSmf98rFw/s320/P1010436.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452752506300974530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;Piccola parentesi culturale (scritta in corsivo perche' la potete anche saltare in tronco se siete piu' interessati al cibo!):&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vengono coltivati un po' ovunque nella costa est degli Stati Uniti e resistono bene al freddo perche' sono sotto terra. E anche quest'anno, con tutta la neve che abbiamo avuto, ce l'hanno fatta! Assomigliano un po' allo zenzero, la consistenza e' quella di una rapa ma il sapore e' simile ad una patata. Ho letto qua e la ed ho trovato che e' la radice di una pianta della famiglia delle margherite. Il fiore e' simile al girasole, e' un po' una margheritona tutta gialla. I carciofi di Gerusalemme vengono anche &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wRlidMJFI/AAAAAAAAALo/4JTg_AIAvqs/s1600/P1010438.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 222px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wRlidMJFI/AAAAAAAAALo/4JTg_AIAvqs/s320/P1010438.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452752585440896082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;utilizzati in infusione per fare un liquore che si chiama Topinambur e spesso infatti li chiamano anche Topinambur. Confesso che a me la parola "Topinambur" non e' mai piaciuta quindi se li chiamiamo "carciofi di Gerusalemme" e' meglio.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, a farla breve, la contadina ci ha detto che di solito si cucinano in zuppe con i porri e le patate, ma lei li taglia a fettine e li frigge in padella. Il suo consiglio e' di prendere delle radici non troppo bitorzolute perche' e' piu' facile pulirle. Si possono semplicemente pulire con una spazzoletta oppure con un pela patate. E poi si affettano a fettine fini e sono pronti per l'uso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;br /&gt;1 cipolla tagliata a striscioline&lt;br /&gt;Olio extravergine d'oliva&lt;br /&gt;2 papate medie sbucciate e grattugiate&lt;br /&gt;2 carote pulite e grattugiate&lt;br /&gt;4 o 5 foglie di basilico&lt;br /&gt;2 carciofi di gerusalemme medio/piccoli, puliti e tagliati a fettine sottili&lt;br /&gt;4/5 fettine di salame tagliate un po' spesse e fatte a cubetti piccoli&lt;br /&gt;Parmigiano grattugiato&lt;br /&gt;3 uova - i bianchi in una ciotola e i rossi in un'altra&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wS9nd2ddI/AAAAAAAAAMI/q-lgc-OehaU/s1600/P1010444.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wS9nd2ddI/AAAAAAAAAMI/q-lgc-OehaU/s320/P1010444.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452754098614334930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di burro&lt;br /&gt;3 cucchiai di farina&lt;br /&gt;un po' di Latte&lt;br /&gt;sale e pepe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imburrare una terrina (io uso il burro spray, diavoleria americana che ha 0 calorie!) e spolverarla con il pan grattato.&lt;br /&gt;In una padella ho messo l'olio e la cipolla fino a che non appassisce. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wR3cOjzxI/AAAAAAAAALw/lTaOpL76deE/s1600/P1010440.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 201px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wR3cOjzxI/AAAAAAAAALw/lTaOpL76deE/s320/P1010440.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452752893006565138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ho poi aggiunto le carote, le patate, il basilico, i carciofi di Gerusalemme, i pezzettini di salame.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wSKfcxWdI/AAAAAAAAAL4/AeFXxNW6qoY/s1600/P1010441.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wSKfcxWdI/AAAAAAAAAL4/AeFXxNW6qoY/s320/P1010441.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452753220288993746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ho lasciato il tutto cuocere per 10-15 minuti,&lt;br /&gt;aggiustato di sale e pepe e trasferito in una ciotola.

I was on the phone with Federica, my sister, that has the great privilege of having my mamma at home with her for few days…marvelous cook. We ended up talking about what? THE MINESTRONE! Is not that I hate it, but it’s not my favorite dish. If I really have to eat it, then I would blend it (it’s not a case that one of my favorite tools is the immersion blender…after big Charlie and Ercolina…sooner or later I’ll show them to you). After this exciting conversation with Federica, the feeling of guilt for not eating enough veggies attacked me! I then remembered that last Saturday Todd and I went to the farmers market and bought a totally new thing (for us): Jerusalem Artichokes!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Short cultural parenthesis (written in italics because you can skip it if you are more interested to the food!): &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; artichokes are cultivated pretty much everywhere in the East coast and they are very resistant to cold climates because they are roots, underground. Even this year, with all the snow that we had, they made it! They look like ginger routs, the texture is the one of the beets but the flavor is similar to the potatoes’. It’s the root of a plant that is in the family of the daisies and the flower is yellow and similar to a sunflower. In &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Germany&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; they are infused in a liquor to make Topinambur. I confess I’ve never liked the word “Topinambur” so if we call them &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; Artichokes is better!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;To make a long story short the farmer told us that usually people cook them with leeks and potatoes to make soups. She likes to clean them, cut them in thin slices and fry them. She suggested buying some that have a simpler shape because it’s easier to clean them. Brush them or use a potato peeler, slice them thinly and they are ready to be cooked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1 onion cut in thin slices&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Extra virgin olive oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 potatoes (medium size) peeled and grated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 carrots peeled and grated&lt;br /&gt;4 or 5 leaves of basil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; artichokes, cleaned and sliced thinly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;4/5 think slices of salami cut in small cubes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Parmigiano, grated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;3 eggs – the whites in a bowl and the yellows in another&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;2 tablespoons of butter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;1/8 cup of flour&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;¾ cups of milk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Salt and pepper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Take a casserole, grease it with butter (I used Pam, a great American invention that has 0 calories!) and put some bread crumbs on top.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In a pot I put some extra virgin olive oil and the onion and let it go until it becomes golden. I then added  carrots, potatoes, basil, &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; artichokes and salami. I let it cooked for 10-15 minutes, added some salt and pepper and transferred in a bowl. I don’t like it when the veggies are cooked for too long; I like them when they are half way between raw and completely done. Well, in this case we have to put them in the oven anyway.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the same pot (don’t even clean it) I put the butter. Let it melt and when you see the little bubbles add the flour and keep stirring for 3 minutes. Then add the milk and keep stirring for 1 more minute. Add the egg yolks and mix.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Switch off the stove.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Add all the veggies and the parmigiano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Whip the egg whites until they become very solid (with my blender it takes a couple of minutes). Add them to the rest of the ingredients and mix gently with your hand. It’s going to be fun and whatever is left on your hand can be safely leaked off!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Transfer everything in the casserole and bake it in a preheated oven  at 400 for 40 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;The original idea was to make a souffle’ but since there are too many ingredients in it, it doesn’t really rise much. It does get very fluffy compared to a frittata and the smell and the taste are divine. After few minutes it deflates a bit so eat it right away…or not. The thing that matters is MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-3448369048522110645?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/3448369048522110645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/03/il-frittatone-con-i-carciofi-di.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/3448369048522110645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/3448369048522110645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/03/il-frittatone-con-i-carciofi-di.html' title='Il frittatone con i Carciofi di Gerusalemme / The frittatona with Jerusalem Artichokes'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6wRXtDDIsI/AAAAAAAAALY/8p_-peey-Ts/s72-c/P1010463.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-6976847307351868922</id><published>2010-03-17T18:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T18:52:02.336-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bread'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pane'/><title type='text'>Il pane di Scali senza bisogno di impastare / Scali Bread no-knead</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F7KDndmTI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/LqFqi1uOHCI/s1600-h/P1010260.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F7KDndmTI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/LqFqi1uOHCI/s400/P1010260.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449772436794743090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il pane di chi??? Questo e' un pane che ho provato a fare sulla spinta di mio suocero David che adora fare il pane e sa quanto ormai io sia affezionata al pane che non si impasta. Forse stanco di mangiare sempre e solo quello, mi ha mandato questo link del sito della "Farina di Re Artu'" (King Arthur's Flour)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/scali-bread-recipe&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho fatto una piccola ricerca e devo dire che io in Italia di questo pane di Scali non ne ho mai sentito parlare e neanche l'ho mai mangiato! Ho chiesto alla mia famiglia e ai miei amici e nessuno ne sa niente. Ma noi non siamo proprio molto ferrati in tema culinario quindi se qualcuno la fuori ha qualche idea in piu', ben venga. L'unica cosa che so e' che un pane famosissimo a Boston con cui molti italo-americani sono cresciuti per generazioni. E pensare che quando ci sono andata neanche lo sapevo e non l'ho assaggiato!&lt;br /&gt;Dato che come vi dicevo io ormai il pane lo faccio con la tecnica del non impasto, ho provato a fare anche questo cosi' e il primo tentativo e' venuto una mezza zozzeria (come direbbe papa'); il secondo tentativo e' venuto decisamente meglio ma ho avuto una grossa mano da Breadcetera &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.breadcetera.com/?p=164&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se cliccate sul link arrivate sulla sua pagina del pane Scali. Andate giu' finche' trovate un'immagine con tre impasti in parallelo. Fate doppio click e il video dovrebbe partire. Il signor Steve vi fa vedere come si intreccia. Tra l'altro si capisce anche di che consistenza dovrebbe essere l'impasto. Due cose che Steve consiglia: prima cosa fare i salamini piu' cicciottelli al centro, seconda cosa dice di ricordarvi questa formula "da destra al centro, da sinistra al centro, da destra al centro..."...per il resto le immagini parlano da sole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vi do direttamente la ricetta che ho seguito io senza bisogno di impastare:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 tazze di farina&lt;br /&gt;1 tazza e mezza di acqua&lt;br /&gt;1/4 di cucchiaino di lievito di birra granulare istantaneo&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaino di sale&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di latte scremato in polvere&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di olio extravergine di oliva&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il bianco di un uovo per spennellare la superficie del pane e semi di sesamo (io preferico quelli tostati)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho mischiato velocemente tutti gli ingredienti in una zuppiera e aspettato fino al giorno dopo.&lt;br /&gt;Ho preso l'impasto e l'ho rimpastato con tanta farina quanto basta per formare un impasto elastico e non appiccicoso come quello che vedete nel video di Steve. Ho diviso l'impasto in 3 palle uguali e le ho lasciate riposare per 15 minuti (in pratica il tempo di lavare tutte le cose che ho sporcato nel frattempo...non avete idea del casino che combino in cucina!). A questo punto ho seguito il video di Steve e ho preparato una bella treccia. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F5ozV2HtI/AAAAAAAAAHA/V8fZx5k5upA/s1600-h/loaf1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 137px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F5ozV2HtI/AAAAAAAAAHA/V8fZx5k5upA/s320/loaf1.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449770765978574546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;L'ho spennellata con il bianco d'uovo diluito con un cucchiaio di acqua per renderlo un po' piu' liquido e l'ho cosparso dei semi di sesamo tostati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F6sUGZLqI/AAAAAAAAAHI/ZR57nO3kgbI/s1600-h/P1010253.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 154px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S6F6sUGZLqI/AAAAAAAAAHI/ZR57nO3kgbI/s320/P1010253.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449771925823368866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'ho messo sullo strofinaccio coperto di farina di mais per non farlo attaccare e l'ho fatto lievitare ancora per un paio di ore. Quando ho visto che il pane era quasi pronto, ho messo nel forno freddo il contenitore per il pane (vi serve un contenitore di ceramica o di ferro battuto CON IL COPERCHIO in cui verrà' cotto il pane), ho acceso il forno a 250 gradi e aspettato mezz'ora. A questo punto il pane può essere infornato nel contenitore bollente e lasciato cuocere per 40 minuti coperto. Scoprire e lasciar cuocere per altri 5 minuti se lo volete più' scuretto. Il sapore e' buonissimo ma quello che mi ha dato piu' gratificazione e' decisamente il profumo. Sara' forse perche' nell'impasto c'è' l'olio? La casa profuma di panetteria...MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Scali Bread no-knead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Whose bread is this??? I tried to bake this bread after David, my father-in-law, gave me the recipe. He knows how much I love bread and he knows that I like the no-knead bread. Maybe tired to eat always the same bread, he sent me this link to &lt;/span&gt;King Arthur's Flour's web site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/scali-bread-recipe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did a little research and I have to say that when I was in Italy I've never heard about this bread. It sounds Italian...but is not...or maybe it is! I don't know. I only know that in Boston is very famous and many Italian-Americans grew up with it. When I went to Boston I didn't know about it and I didn't try it, too bad. It means that I have to make another trip just for this. Anyway, maybe out there there is some Italian that can teach me more about it??&lt;br /&gt;As I said, I like to make the no-knead bread, so I tried to make this one like that. The first one came out very bad, but the second one was REALLY GOOD, easpecially thanks to Mr Steve in Breadcetera&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;http://www.breadcetera.com/?p=164&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His blog is great and is worth to check it out just because. If you follow te link and scroll down, you can double click on his video where he teaches how to give to the bread the right shape. Also, from the video, you can see the consistency of his dough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the recipe that I followed:&lt;br /&gt;3 cups of flour&lt;br /&gt;1 and 1/2 cups of water&lt;br /&gt;1/4 teaspoon of yeast&lt;br /&gt;1 tablespoon of salt&lt;br /&gt;2 tablespoons of dry non-fat milk&lt;br /&gt;2 tablespoons of extravirgin olive oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mixed everything quickly and let it sit until the next day. I then knided it for some time with more flour until it became elastic and not sticky like the dough that you see in Steve's video. I let it sit for 15 minutes, the time to wash the dishes. At this point follow Steve's video. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the white of one egg, mix it and brush the bread surface. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. I baked it in the pot with the lid that I put in the oven for 30 minutes before baking. Set the oven at 400F and bake for 30 minutes. If you like a darker color you can leave it in the oven for other 5 minutes removing the lid. It's a delicious bread and even more...your house will smell like a great bakery!

Nonna Mandolina, la mia carissima nonnina, era solita preparare pane e pasta fatti in casa. Mi ricordo che mi metteva col panchetto vicino a lei e se lei preparava il pane per 10 persone io lo facevo per una; invece di 10 uova per la pasta io ne usavo uno! Ancora mi ricordo il pane che facevamo insieme anche se, certo, il pane che faccio io non ha lo stesso sapore (con la pasta me la cavo meglio!). Di recente pero', i miei cognati Brian e Sara mi hanno parlato di questo pane che non va impastato, e' facilissimo da preparare ed e' buonissimo. Mah! Al momento pensato: "ma come? Nonna ci metteva un sacco di tempo!". Incuriosita dal fatto che Brian e Sara sono ottimi cuochi, ho controllato la ricetta originale di Jim Lahey intervistato da Mark Bittman del New York Times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Ah9ES2yTU). Lo so che e' in Inglese ma vi converto le dosi in Italiano e il resto si capisce da se.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/13Ah9ES2yTU&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/13Ah9ES2yTU&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quell'uomo e' un genio! E' davvero facile come sembra e il pane e' proprio come quello che faceva nonna...piu' o meno!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Ecco le quantita' precise:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;330 gr di farina&lt;br /&gt;1 pizzico di lievito di birra istantaneo&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaino di sale&lt;br /&gt;360 ml acqua fredda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quello che a me piace aggiungere e' un po' di rosmarino. O uso il rosmarino fresco sminuzzato, oppure uso un paio di cucchiani di rosmarino sminuzzato precedentemente messo nell'olio di oliva e conservato in frigo. Le quantita sono a piacimento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qui in America non si usano i grammi: il sistema INTERNAZIONALE di pesi e misure non avra' mai successo...soprattutto in cucina! E non mi e' facile capire il perche'. Qui si usano le "tazze" o i "bicchieri" come a volte proprio le nostre nonne erano abituate a fare. Ognuno ha tazze e bicchieri di dimensioni diverse e le tazze americane, che ve lo dico a fare, sono enormi. Allora gli americani hanno "la tazza" come unita' di misura. Una tazza corrisponde a 250ml. Poi hanno la mezza tazza, il quarto di tazza e cosi' via. Facile no?&lt;br /&gt;Quindi, questa ricetta del pane si puo' anche fare usando un bicchiere o una tazza e seguendo queste proporzioni: 3tazze di farina, 1 pizzico di lievito di birra granulare, 1 cucchiaino di sale, 1 tazza e mezza di acqua fredda. Di lievito ne serve pochissimo perche', una volta mescolato il tutto, si copre e si lascia riposare fino al giorno dopo (fino a 24 ore). E' tutto sul video. Una volta pronto, si impasta velocemente solo per dargli la forma e si lascia lievitare per 1 o 2 orette. Io lo metto su uno strofinaccio su cui ho spolverato un po' di farina di mais o la semola. Nel frattempo si accende il forno al massimo (se volete una crosticina meno dura, potete anche abbassarlo a 220) e si mette per almeno 30 minuti nel forno freddo il contenitore in cui poi si cuoce il pane. Il contenitore puo' essere di ceramica o di ferro battuto, come si desidera, purche' abbia un coperchio. Credo che il segreto sia li! Il pane si "lancia" nel contenitore bollente (e non importa se viene brutto, piu' pieghe ha e meglio viene), si copre e si cuoce per 30 minuti. Poi si scoperchia e si lascia cuocere per altri 5 minuti. E' un po' a gusto personale, se vi piace la crosticina bella dura potete anche mettere il forno piu' alto.&lt;br /&gt;MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;No Knead Bread&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bread is one of my weaknesses. My dear grandma Mandolia used to make bread and pasta. I remember that she would let me use a small table next to her. If she prepared bread for 10 people I would make it for one; instead of using 10 eggs to make pasta, I would use 1! I still remember the bread that we used to make together. Of course my bread didn't really have the same flavor (with pasta I do a better job!). Recently my sister and brother in-law Sara and Brian told me about this no-knead bread: it's very easy to make and delicious. I thought: "How could that be possible? My grandma would knead for ever!". Moved by the fact that Sara and Brian are great cooks, I checked the original recipe from Jim Lahey in interview from Mark Bittman of the New York Times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Ah9ES2yTU).&lt;br /&gt;You can follow the recipe on line clicking the you-tube video. That man is a genius! It's really as easy as it seems and the bread is very similar to the one my gradma used to make...more or less!&lt;br /&gt;Follow the you tube recipe (the long BLA BLA in the Italian section is all about the conversion of cups in grams and F in C).&lt;br /&gt;MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-8947088206891900853?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/8947088206891900853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/02/il-pane-che-non-si-impastano-knead.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/8947088206891900853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/8947088206891900853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/02/il-pane-che-non-si-impastano-knead.html' title='Il pane che non si impasta/No knead bread'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S4ptvwXydiI/AAAAAAAAAG4/f9eX7dXMAM0/s72-c/P1010363.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-8724981033295177555</id><published>2010-02-09T14:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T16:15:42.959-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family Recipe'/><title type='text'>Le noci speziate di Ann/ Ann's spicy Walnuts</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3HvzXh0-_I/AAAAAAAAAFI/P55pe8DXQtE/s1600-h/P1010324.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 230px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3HvzXh0-_I/AAAAAAAAAFI/P55pe8DXQtE/s320/P1010324.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436389890981166066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Questa ricetta e' divina: semplice, veloce e molto gustosa. Vi avverto pero': queste noci danno dipendenza! Queste noci provengono dalla California (ovviamente). Jim e Ann hanno tre grandi e vecchi noci nel loro giardino e ogni anno, per Natale, ci mandano una bella busta piena di noci pronte per l'uso. Lo scorso Natale Ann le ha preparate seguendo questa ricetta e secondo me sono squisite. Questa e' la storia delle noci di Ann, del vino Ponzio e dell'agnello: in California, quella del noce, e' una coltivazione diffusa. I proprietari le raccolgono e le portano in centri specializzati dove c'e' lo "sgusciatore automatico". Tutti hanno quantita' industriali di noci e cosi', l'anno scorso, Ann ha avuto difficolta' a trovare uno sgusciatore per le sue noci..."solo" pochi quintali! Dopo lungo cercare ne ha trovato uno che le ha fatto la cortesia di processare le sue "poche" noci e per ringraziarlo Ann gli ha regalato una bottiglia del pregiatissimo vino Ponzio. Poco piu' in la, un altro signore, la avvicinata e le ha proposto il baratto: " Mi dai una bottiglia di vino Ponzio per una coscetta del mio  agnello. Se siamo soddisfatti, tu mi dai una cassa di vino Ponzio e io ti do tutto il mio agnello". Con il giudizio di "vino servibile" una cassa del pregiatissimo vino Ponzio e' stata barattata per un delizioso agnello...una manciata di noci arrivano molto lontano!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" &gt;Ingredienti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mezzo cucchiaino di cumino&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3HwJvBJtLI/AAAAAAAAAFY/TJK-ecneYVU/s1600-h/P1010319.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 156px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3HwJvBJtLI/AAAAAAAAAFY/TJK-ecneYVU/s320/P1010319.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436390275243685042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mezzo cucchiaino di peperoncino rosso finemente tritato&lt;br /&gt;mezzo cucchiaino di cannella&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mischiare insieme questi tre ingredienti in una ciotolina e tenetela vicino ai fornelli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;440 gr di noci sgusciate &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3Hv_9RYXlI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/WdGiYa8YXxA/s1600-h/P1010321.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 167px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3Hv_9RYXlI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/WdGiYa8YXxA/s320/P1010321.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436390107271159378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;52 gr di burro non salato&lt;br /&gt;6 cucchiai di zucchero di canna&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaio di acqua&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaino di sale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Preparare tutto all'inizio e tenere tutto vicino ai fornelli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si comincia con lo stendere un foglio di carta oleata o alluminio su una teglia e mettere da parte.&lt;br /&gt;In una padella larga mettere le noci e a fuoco medio-alto mescolarle spesso fino a che non cominciano a tostarsi, circa 4 minuti.&lt;br /&gt;Aggiungere il burro e mescolare fino a che le noci non si scuriscono, 1 minuto.

Lasciar freddare per circa 10 minuti e poi...MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;A me piacciono ancora di piu' quando sono fredde, ma attenti davvero perche' creano dipendenza...infatti vado a prepararne un altro po'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);font-size:130%;" &gt;Ann's Walnuts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;This recipe is divine: simple, fast and very delicious. I warn you though: these walnuts are addictive! These walnuts come from California (obviously). Jim and Ann have three majestic and old walnut trees in their garden and every year for Christmas they send us a big bag of walnuts ready to be eaten. Last Christmas Ann prepared them following this recipe and I fell in love with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;This is the story of Ann's walnuts, the Ponzio's wine and the lamb: in California, the cultivation of the walnut trees is huge. The owners of the walnuts bring them to specialized centers where there is an automatic "walnut shell remover". Everybody has huge amounts of walnuts and Ann had some difficulties in founding somebody who wanted to process her walnuts...just "few thousands"! After searching, she found somebody who processed her "few" walnuts and, as a thank you, she gave him a bottle of the famous Ponzio's wine. Not far from there, there was another guy who proposed an exchange: "A bottle of your Ponzio's wine for a leg of my lamb. If we like it we can exchange a box of your wine for the whole lamb". Deal! With the comment "serviceable", the Ponzio's wine was traded for a lamb...just "few" walnuts go a long way!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;Ingredients&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 teaspoon ground cumin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Mix them in a small bowl and keep it next to the stove.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;4 cups of walnuts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;4 tablespoons of unsalted butter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;6 tablespoons of brown sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;1 tablespoon  of water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;1 teaspoon of salt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Keep everything next to the stove.

I wasn't scared, thinking about the basic cooking skills that my mom and my grandma thought me while I was growing up. Italian "cookery" (I love this term) is extremely simple: "as long as I can find flour, eggs, water and tomatoes...I can survive for the rest of my life with home made pasta and tomato sauce"!&lt;br /&gt;Well, it didn't take me too long to realize that I really didn't need my skills to survive here. When I first met Todd, one of the things that he wanted to eat over his mom's place were "gnocchi verdi". Of course the plural would be "gnocchis"! What? This is nothing similar to something that you buy in the refrigerated isle of the store...this is a fantastic, family-effort, plate of gnocchi verdi! Donna is a great cook and thanks to her we had such a great time. We sat down, she cooked, mixed the ingredients, grated; we did the easy part: the rolling and, of course, the eating! Such a fantastic recipe to make when we are all together, it's so much fun and reminds me of home.&lt;br /&gt;MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: this recipe is taken from "The Classic Italian Cookbook by Marcella Hazan" but Donna changed few things&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 4 persons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 tbspoon finely chopped yellow onion&lt;br /&gt;2 tbspoons butter&lt;br /&gt;2 tbspoons of finely chopped pancetta (it's like to bacon)&lt;br /&gt;1 pound fresh spinach that you can cook briefly in boiling water (or 1 ten-ounce package frozen leaf spinach, thawed)&lt;br /&gt;salt&lt;br /&gt;1 cup fresh ricotta&lt;br /&gt;1 cup all-purpose flour&lt;br /&gt;2 eggs&lt;br /&gt;1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano&lt;br /&gt;1/4 teaspoon nutmeg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Chop the spinach with a knife in small pieces. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22fJSh5uyI/AAAAAAAAADw/3G6Tf7nFyV0/s1600-h/P1010040.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 143px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22fJSh5uyI/AAAAAAAAADw/3G6Tf7nFyV0/s320/P1010040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435175307247729442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Put the onion in a skillet with the butter and saute' over medium heat until pale gold.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22gW0NF2nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/kD3bFaFViSs/s1600-h/P1010045.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 80px; height: 169px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22gW0NF2nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/kD3bFaFViSs/s320/P1010045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435176639137176178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) add the chopped pancetta and continue sauteing just long enough to stir 3 or 4 times, combining the pancetta well with the onion and butter.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22fZSEFBWI/AAAAAAAAAD4/CAWRigoXIzk/s1600-h/P1010046.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 143px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S22fZSEFBWI/AAAAAAAAAD4/CAWRigoXIzk/s320/P1010046.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435175582000547170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) add the spinach and 1/4 teaspoon salt and saute' for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently.

Mah, la cosa non mi ha spaventata affatto forte delle mie abilita' di base che mamma e nonna mi hanno insegnato crescendo: " finche' c'e' acqua, farina, uova e pomodoro posso sopravvivere con pasta fatta in casa per il resto della mia vita!".&lt;br /&gt;Be', non ci e' voluto molto per capire che di certo non sarei morta di fame. Appena ho conosciuto Todd, una delle prime ricette di cui mi ha parlato e' stata questa: gnocchi verdi...in Italiano! Questi, che loro al plurale chiamano "gnocchis" e' una ricetta che non ha niente a che vedere con il pacchetto di gnocchi che compri nella sezione frigo del super. E' una ricetta squisita che grazie a Donna prepariamo tutti insieme come in una catena di montaggio. Lei taglia, sminuzza, cucina, mischia e grattugia; noi facciamo la parte facile: appallottoliamo l'impasto e chiaramente mangiamo! E' una ricetta semplice e divertente...e' come stare a casa. Mangia Mangia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: questa ricetta e' presa dal libro "The Classic Italian Cookbook by Marcella Hazan" ma Donna, da ottimo chef, ha cambiato qualche cosa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredienti per 4 persone:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaio di cipolla tagliata a pezzettini piccoli piccoli&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai  di burro&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di pancetta tagliata finemente (o di piu' se vi piace!)&lt;br /&gt;280 g spinaci surgelati che vanno sminuzzazi una volta scongelati (o 450 g di spinaci freschi, che vanno sbollentati e strizzati)&lt;br /&gt;Sale&lt;br /&gt;1 vasetto di ricotta (250g)&lt;br /&gt;250g di farina&lt;br /&gt;2 uova&lt;br /&gt;250g di Parmigiano Grattugiato&lt;br /&gt;Un pizzico di Noce Moscata&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo aver sminuzzato gli spinaci col coltello, mettere la cipolla in una padella con il burro e farla imbiondire. Aggiungere la pancetta e farla rosolare con la cipolla e il burro. Aggiungere gli spinaci e il sale e mescolare per 5 o 6 minuti. Gli spinaci assorbiranno tutto il burro ma va bene cosi'. Trasferire il tutto in una ciotola capiente perche' dovete aggiungere la ricotta e la farina e mescolare per bene. Aggiungere adesso le uova, il Parmigiano e la noce moscata. Mescolare per bene e aggiungere a piacimento altro sale.&lt;br /&gt;Infarinare una teglia e con l'aiuto di un cucchiaino formare delle pallocche. Tenetele separate perche' sono appiccicose. Mettere un po' di farina sulle mani se l'impasto appiccica troppo.&lt;br /&gt;Cuocerli in abbondante acqua salata e condirli con un sugo semplice al pomodoro o con burro e salvia.

Premetto col dire che i cavoletti di Bruxelles non mi hanno mai entusiasmata...Prima di darvi la ricetta vi devo dire che, per me, uno dei momenti migliori della giornata (ma non ditelo al mio capo!) e' il pranzo. Una costante delle mie giornate da 4 anni a questa parte e' il pranzo con Yang-ja, ormai parte della famiglia. Si chiacchiera, si mangia e si curiosa nella ciotola reciprocamente. Al momento dell'apertura del porta-pranzo c'e' sempre quell'effetto sorpresa che mi tiene di buon umore. La parte divertente e' che il coperchio della ciotola si trasforma in un piattino su cui io metto pochi bocconi del mio pranzo (povera Yang-ja) e viceversa (un giorno ci siamo addirittura scambiate le ciotole!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questa e' una sua ricetta e grazie a lei adesso ADORO i cavoletti di Bruxelles! E' ancora piu' divertente quando si trovano tutti attaccati al tronchetto. Sono decoratici e restano freschi a lungo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2jROTHOfoI/AAAAAAAAADg/Uw9KPBb2zcw/s1600-h/P1010264.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2jROTHOfoI/AAAAAAAAADg/Uw9KPBb2zcw/s320/P1010264.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433822994001460866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Avete bisogno di BACON ("tutto e' buono se ci metti il bacon" direbbe Todd) o pancetta, e cavoletti di Bruxelles. Pronti? Prendete una teglia, mettete il bacon tagliato a pezzettini, sul fondo e metteci sopra i cavoletti di bruxelles (i piu' grandi li taglio a meta'). Non c'e' bisogno di sale perche' il bacon e' gia' salato. Non c'e' bisogno di olio perche' il bacon ha anche sufficiente grasso. Io ho aggiunto il pepe e un poco di brodo o vino o acqua, ma non e' necessario. Mettete in forno a 180 gradi C per 30-45 minuti (coperti con l'alluminio per i primi 20 minuti e poi scoperti).&lt;br /&gt;E' tutto! Noi questa sera abbiamo aggiunto verso la fine le nostre salsiccie di pollo che richiedono solo una scaldatina. Grazie a Yang-ja adesso questo e' uno dei miei piatti preferiti! MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Brussels Sprouts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a really quick recipe for a really delicious dinner. First of all: I've never loved Brussel sprouts. Before giving you the recipe...I have to tell you something: the best moment of the day, for me, is lunch time (please, don't say anything to my boss!). The constant of my lunches, for the last 4 years, is to have lunch with Yang-ja, who is part of the family. We chat, we eat and we curiously look into each other's lunch boxes. The moment we open the boxes there is always that "surprise factor" that puts me in a good mood. The fun part is that the top of the lunch box gets transformed in a small plate where I put some bites of my lunch (poor Yang-ja) and she puts some of hers (once we directly exchanged the whole box!).&lt;br /&gt;This is one of her recipes and thanks to her now I LOVE Brussels sprouts! It's even more fun when you can find them all attached to their branch. They are very decorative and they stay fresh longer.&lt;br /&gt;All you need is BACON ("everything tastes good with bacon" as Todd would say) and Brussels sprouts (I cut the biggest in a half). Are you ready? Cut the bacon in small pieces and put it at the bottom of a casserole. No need of salt or of olive oil, the bacon does everything. On top put the Brussels sprouts. This time I put some black pepper and a little bit of broth but it's not necessary. Bake it at 350F for 30-45 minutes. You can cover it with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes and then uncover it.&lt;br /&gt;That's it! Tonight we added for the final 5 minutes our favorite spicy chicken sausages.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Yang-ja, this is one of my favorite dishes.

Questo e' proprio il tempo ideale per un pranzetto speciale e Todd ha avuto la brillante idea di aprire, dopo un mese circa, la lonza! E' proprio la scorsa nevicata, quella che c'e' stata la settimana prima di Natale che eravamo in una missione: trovare un contenitore per poter fare la lonza. Non c'era una macchina per le strade e quelle parcheggiate erano sotto un mezzo metro di coltre bianca. Ma noi no. Noi abbiamo la Jeep con le 4X4...la mission non e' poi cosi' impossible! La macchina si muove, noi spaliamo di neve tutto il vialetto e, quando siamo a meta' vialetto e cominciamo a pensare che noi siamo superfighi perche' possiamo guidare per la citta' innevata...2 delle 4 ruote ci abbandonano! Un rumoraccio viene dalle ruote di dietro...niente, non c'e' modo di farle andare e dato che il vialetto e' in salita e un po' ghiacciato, piu' proviamo a muoverla, piu' la macchina scivola indietro. Dopo solo 3 orette di lavoro a spalare la neve e cercare di allontanare la jeep dal muretto, riusciamo a riparcherggiarla. 3 ore e siamo al punto di partenza.&lt;br /&gt;Ma quando Todd ha una missione da compiere, s'ha da fa! Non gira un taxi ma la metro funziona e in fondo sono 3 fermate. Proviamo. Un oretta dopo siamo a casa con la scatola per i nastri, perfetta per mettere la lonza. Un mese dopo: un conto di 2000 dollari dal meccanico, una scatola per i nastri e una deliziosa lonza...ne valeva la pena.&lt;br /&gt;In effetti e' piu' un lonzino che una lonza. Al supermercato qui si trova il pork loin che fa un ottimo lonzino e non troviamo il taglio per la lonza...non ancora! E' OTTIMA! E' morbida &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2ST62XG0JI/AAAAAAAAADI/efYtdv9k6l0/s1600-h/lonza1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 185px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2ST62XG0JI/AAAAAAAAADI/efYtdv9k6l0/s320/lonza1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432629689749786770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;all'interno e saporita, il pepe da quel pizzico di piccantino che non puo' mancare.

E' grazie a loro due che oggi mi posso pappare questo ottimo panino.&lt;br /&gt;MANGIA MANGIA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo coperto la lonza di sale grosso. Noi l'abbiamo messa nella scatola dei nastri (un contenitore lungo e stretto di plastica con tanto di coperchio). &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3LwosWjzLI/AAAAAAAAAFw/jax18BY6_2o/s1600-h/P1010325.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 132px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3LwosWjzLI/AAAAAAAAAFw/jax18BY6_2o/s320/P1010325.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436672282080824498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3Lwd3TAUrI/AAAAAAAAAFo/izPR5dsIQRo/s1600-h/P1010327.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 135px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S3Lwd3TAUrI/AAAAAAAAAFo/izPR5dsIQRo/s320/P1010327.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436672096040145586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;L'abbiamo lasciata cosi' per 2 giorni - il taglio di carne che abbiamo trovato qui e' piuttosto stretto e magro, 2 giorni sono piu' che sufficienti altrimenti e' troppo salata.

It's lunch time and we are in the mood for a light special lunch; Todd has the great idea of preparing delicious panini with lonza. It's time to open the lonza! During the last winter storm, the one we had the week before Christmas, Todd and I were on a mission: find the perfect container to put the lonza in. The streets are empty, not a car around but we have the Jeep. We have 4 wheel drive and WE CAN DO IT! We shovel the snow from the driveway and we move the car. We are half the way through when 2 wheels just abandon us with a bad noise. We are stuck in the middle of the driveway and since it is a little steep, the more we try to move, the more we are stuck. And soon we find ourselves back to back with the wall! It takes us 3 hours to put the car back in the parking spot.&lt;br /&gt;That's when Todd says: "WE ARE STILL IN A MISSION"!&lt;br /&gt;There are no cabs around but the metro works and we are just few stops away. An hour later we are back home with a ribbon box, perfect for a lonza.&lt;br /&gt;Now, more than a month later we are here, with a $2000 bill from the mechanic, a ribbon box and a lonza...it was worth it!&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to mom, the iron chef, and to Todd the perfect sous chef. Thanks to them I can eat today a delicious panino made with home made bread and lonza! Mangia Mangia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We used a pork loin and we put it in the ribbon box (it's a long plastic container with a lid). We covered it with kosher salt and put in the refridgerator for 2 days. Then, we washed it under running wather and dried it with paper towel. We rubbed it with garlic (5 or 6 cloves), black and red pepper. We rapped it in parchement paper and left it hanging in front of the window (Jim, next to the mermaid) for 3 days. Then, we put it in the fridge...until today!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145548977941007572-6476733235354099664?l=scarpettafriends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6476733235354099664/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/01/la-lonza.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/6476733235354099664'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145548977941007572/posts/default/6476733235354099664'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scarpettafriends.blogspot.com/2010/01/la-lonza.html' title='La Lonza'/><author><name>Paoliccia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12401030658021973262</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S-Rk05MEdKI/AAAAAAAAAOU/EXdhvjOnEm8/S220/Paola%26Ron.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2STyHxJ1QI/AAAAAAAAADA/MCv0IRAfzJ4/s72-c/lonza3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145548977941007572.post-3543098752428155549</id><published>2010-01-29T15:10:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-06-29T04:03:48.241-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ricette di Famiglia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family Recipe'/><title type='text'>Christmas Surprise "Pacages" - I pacchetti di Natale a sorpresa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2Q01OLmtxI/AAAAAAAAABU/_P1plnjipDs/s1600-h/P1010025.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HBFyUo2BGQA/S2Q01OLmtxI/AAAAAAAAABU/_P1plnjipDs/s320/P1010025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432525139460142866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;This delicious recipe comes from the family recipe book. And for this reason I left the cute, original spelling from the recipe card.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Todd remembers making them with his family one Christmas when he was 6 (1981?!). Sara was 8 and Rebecca was 2 and Justin was -1.5. He still remembers the "Surprise Pacages" and he "forced" us to make them for Christmas. Donna miraculously found the original recipe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;and here it is. Now I understand why Todd still remembers them, we had a delicious breakfast! As David would say...Mangia Mangia!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Questa deliziosa ricetta fa parte del ricettario di famiglia. Todd ricorda di aver preparato questi "Pacchetti Sorpresa" con la mamma e i fratelli quando aveva 6 anni, per Natale. Ancora se li ricorda e quest'anno ci ha "costretto" a rifarli per Natale. Che sacrificio! Donna ha miracolosamente trovato la ricetta originale ed eccola qui. Adesso capisco perche' Todd ancora se li ricorda! E' stato divertente prepararli, sono graziosi agli occhi, ma soprattutto sono deliziosi al palato! La nostra colazione e' stata da re. E come direbbe David...Mangia Mangia!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;link style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CCastrip%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C05%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;
