His Lordship Cheesecake

"Let us return to the old days, to the enchanted world of fairy tales ..." * I return, I move into to an old cinema.
I hear the music softly playing ...

Every Sunday we watched a show in "Old Cinema" ... childhood, family, smells from the kitchen, they all are coming back ... I remember my grandfather, who knew by heart almost all of the songs from the movies ... and we baked cheesecake, cheesecake from past years.

In the photographs:

Oh! How Green!

I live in a shady meadow

 under the birch 

which is whispering to me at dawn 

melancholy...

Scrambled eggs with asparagus

eggs, asparagus, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper
quantities can be used of your discretion :)
Wash asparagus, cut off the ends and place on a baking sheet. Pour olive oil,season lightly and sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in temp.350 degrees 15 min. Fry scrambled eggs and serve with asparagus.

Cream of asparagus soup

2 bunches of asparagus

2 large onions

2 cups vegetable stock

salt and pepper

glass of white wine

50 ml. heavy cream

4 potatoes

clove of garlic

grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Wash the asparagus, cut off the hardened ends and throw it out. Then cut in pieces and save some upper pieces for later. Pour broth into a pot and when it boils throw to the broth, chop potatoes and asparagus. Garlic and onion stew on a spoon of olive oil in a pan then add to soup.Boil one minute and season with salt and pepper, pour white wine and heavy cream. When the soup has cooled, mix for a puree. Blanch upper pieces of asparagus (thrown into boiling water for a minute then drain off and toss into a bowl of ice water) and serve with soup. My asparagus disappeared mysteriously before I could do a photo..After that I heard - "this is about salad you are talking about?". So exactly a "salad" here takes on an entirely different matter :) Enjoy!

Dangerous plums!

                                                                   

                                                                        ADDICTIVE!!!

                                                             YOU CAN NOT STOP!!!

QUICKLY DISAPPEAR !!!

Cake is even worse ... obscenely good with a tempting . It is too good to stop at one piece. That is why there is nothing to treat guests with and it is completely not suitable for all holidays.

We also need:

400g California prunes

plum jam or butter

vodka, rum or other alcohol. I used brandy.

1 cup of water and 2-3 tablespoon of sugar

Prunes put into a saucepan, pour water ,add sugar and cook about 5 minutes.Drain but store the syrup to soak cake later.Cool prunes and pour in alcohol,for example,in a tightly closed jar and leave the best for the night before cake preparation.

Milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolks, flour and potato starch, mix together into saucepan.Stirring constantly, cook slowly.When boils take off the pudding from the heat and cool..

Egg whites mix to stiff, adding sugar, egg yolks, flour and baking powder. Stirring constantly, add the remaining ingredients. Put into a mold and bake at temp.350 degrees an about 35-40 min.

Chilled pudding should be added to a spoonful of crushed butter, keep mixing until it is a cream.
Sponge cake cut into 2 - 3 tops. Each soaked with juice of cooked plums seasoned with lemon juice and alcohol . Then smear plum jam, apply layers of cream and an alcohol drained plums. Cover the next top and repeat as long as the ingredients. On the top of the cake pour melted chocolate . Cool it in the refrigerator.
