Mrs. Peach


The Peach is a fruit which Laura loves.
 When she was 3 years old, she made a funny name for "peach" in her childhood language.
 It was a wonderful children's language which was full of music. I remember her invented  words and stories.  I'm waiting until I see what Johnny is going to tell me..  Once the season starts on peaches, I buy them every day. We eat and remember the stories she told me
"a  man who was try collecting a snow" and  "About fools  from the salt planet." The power of childhood imagination :) Today is the Peach day!




Light peach dessert

Pour into cups, add crushed biscuits, and refrigerate to harden. Wash and slice peaches, then put on top of dessert and pour the remaining jelly. Allow them to harden.

New York - I'm not sleeping

Last night I barely slept a wink. Work that is dragged mercilessly took my dream.
The night in the city is different.
You do not feel sleep here.
Only clocks betray the truth, the fleeing minutes.






Breakfast after such  a night has to be nice. It shouldn't be healthy at all. It must be such as I like. Unhurried and sweet. Today - Steffany cake and coffee.


Steffany cake
450 - 500 g tea biscuits
4 cups of milk
20dkg butter
3 tablespoons of cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
9-10 tablespoons of semolina
Dark chocolate + 3 tablespoons whipping cream for topping.

Milk, butter, sugar, boil then added slowly with vigorously stirring porridge  for a minute. When it thickens, add the cocoa. The cream should be set aside to cool.Then translate the still warm cream on  biscuits. Dissolve the chocolate in 3 tablespoons of whipping cream and pour it over the cake. Put the cake in the refrigerator. It is best eaten the next day.

Golden fish


Colors feed me. They tell me about the taste, which I soon begin to feel. I they wake me up.

Finally the world is colorful. Grayness is covered with flowers. I stare out the window and see the colors in the midst of passing streets. I save them for later.



The purchasing of this fish has gone very quickly. They were to be steak. Red meat. And Bloody.

But I did not make it to the meat section, because I spotted this golden trout. 

Beautiful - I thought. Can it fulfill my three wishes? I could not resist it.
Although it did  not fulfill all my wishes (as I still do not have a home in  birch grove and a few others), it was well worth it for now. Pale meat - similar to salmon pink, but very delicate, yet distinct in flavor.


Golden Trout in herbs

2 cleaned fish
sprigs of fresh thyme
sprigs of fresh rosemary
2 cloves of garlic
lemon
salt and pepper
Stuff fish with herbs and garlic,  sprinkle the fish to leave on top. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with lemon.Place fish on a greased baking sheet with olive oil. Bake for  about 30 minutes at 180 degrees. I served it with red boiled potatoes and salad with carrot and cucumber.
