How Much Does It Cost To Repair A Broken Violin

Aranzadas memorable


I know little of Sardinian cuisine, but what I love. My taste buds tend to retain memories of what I tasted there, even for years: a clear sign of a kitchen according to my natural taste.
This year I wanted to make cookies for Christmas, but I was really tired of the massive proliferation of biscuits that burdened my daily blog and the whole www. My memory papillary then that helps me in times of emergency, I stated with confidence aranzadas: angelic sweets and simple that I had brought from Nuoro ten years ago and I was delighted.
While I spent my evenings to fillet maniacally thin orange peels, the proud MarieClaire and her husband promised to intercede with him mother of Sardinia, to give up the family recipe: she generously agreed, and were aranzadas.
Many thanks to all of them, then. Now that I can do, I'll always.
It takes:
  • oranges
  • honey (I used a good wildflower, and in general do not recommend the chestnut honey, very dark and bitter).
  • almonds
peel oranges by taking a quarter, and rises with a sharp boxcutter absolutely all the white part of peel from each slice. Are obtained for thin fillets and put them to dry on a radiator (stove, mantel, ventilated oven at low temperature). Are strongly favored at this stage, large families and have good manual dexterity and patience.
When they have enough put in a pot in cold water and bring to a boil. You change the water and the operation is repeated three times. Drain them well and put on a dry cloth.
is filleted in the longitudinal almonds also getting very thin sticks (work really infamous), and toasting them lightly in the oven.
honey is heated enough to drown in the skins, and cook over a gentle heat for twenty minutes, or how long it takes for them to become translucent and absorb good honey.
When you are ready, add the fillets of almond and turns off the fire.

We prepare the table a nice array of cups cake in miniature, and one fitted by a pair of pliers in the kitchen like this photo, or alternatively of chopsticks (I'm not kidding: I have made with them, absolute madness).
are to be taken of small quantities of peel and almonds, drain it very well by an excess of honey, and are deposited with a sure hand in paper cups forming graceful mounds possible without splashing drops of honey around, which gets mangy to remove. At this stage it is essential to speed: as the honey cools, it will be more difficult to drain away completely, and the surplus could be deposited on the bottom of the cups to form a sticky sole, which is absolutely fine! So when you find that you are solidifying the mixture too much and not more drips away immediately, you give them a steaming.
it is left to solidify, and even last a month.

The result should be an ethereal, airy morsels of candied orange and almond-scented honey, hard to forget. At least, for me it was so.

The mystery of chicory

Non so voi, ma io ho una serie di questioni in sospeso riguardo alla preparazione del cibo.
Misteri che affronto da anni, e che nonostante mi ci sia incaponita non sono mai arrivati a soluzione.
Oggi ne ho uno uno in meno, ed era uno dei più frustranti.

Come si fanno le puntarelle non è un mistero per nessuno. È la cosa più stupida del mondo. Si prendono le puntarelle, eventualmente si spelano, si cut into very thin sticks, put themselves in cold water and leave it there for a certain number of hours. End of procedure. When you return you find some nice curls, they are seasoned with oil, vinegar, garlic, anchovies. End of recipe.
Or, if one is in Rome, go to the market and if you buy them ready-curled. Civilized practice, I find. Up here but the only way is to go to the market, buy a huge bunch of Catalonia ear (because if you ask puntarelle have no idea what you mean), make their way through the foliage with a machete, cigarette butts, a separate one, and set about the deadly work of shredding with a sharp boxcutter. But
But I'm ten years I do this thing rocks with faith, and when I find the same sticks straight as nails I have left to soak. And eat straight puntarelle completely undermines the pleasure on this no compromise is acceptable. I asked in vain for years, mothers, grandmothers, cousins, in-laws and friends of friends in Rome. In vain have I molested whole forum because you tell me how, how do you get the typical curly. I even bought a Japanese knife, thinking that maybe it was the poor quality of my rudimentary homemade knife to make a difference. Nothing.

But then I received a gift tagliapuntarelle - Tapu for posterity - and my life has taken a turn.


The genius who invented it deserves a statue does not say, but at least a plaque, a Garter, an honor. I hope that he is rich and famous, and travel on a gilded carriage to the applause of the crowd.
This simple but effective device works like this: grab the chicory, push it through the grate and voila! End of work. Thrown into the water, and when you come back, you find fresh messinpiega, softly curled as if he had not done anything else in life.


And since the genie is contagious, in my small way I quickly realized that There was a degree of perfection already in a very satisfactory result: the cut in octopus * .
The cut octopus, apart from the fun aspect that is already important in itself, can easily inforchettare the elusive vegetable, and enjoy a perfect morsel.
And from now on I'm going to enjoy it in abundance. Veniero Thanks!



* actually the technique of the octopus had explained to me years ago, Silvia, who viciously applied to the sausage to fry. So it's all a chain of virtuous genius that contagiously spreads around the globe.

La Presa di Roma sulla Stampa/ 3

La Presa di Roma La Stampa / 3

Augello, the strategist who, after trying to conquer Rome Lazio

The problem, said Andrea Augello, Gianni Alemanno was to exalt the qualities which they did moderate voters throat on loan to the left. "We did so well that in the end we got the votes of the left, the left true."

is still debated today on what has affected the work of Augello in the fall of Rome. How should the Alemanno? It's what have to defeat two years ago, when Walter Veltroni won re-election campaign after a Augello which had refused to take part? He, Augello, today resolves as follows: "In 2006, Aleman did not lose because I was not there, but I was not there because he would lose Alemanno. In any case, it is discussed again because in the center, with imagination shaky, some say that is like that Augello Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction, one that comes when there is a trouble to solve.

And it is discussed to predict how many votes left, left true, it will be able to bring to Renata Polverini. One that, on the other bank, already has some sympathy. Andrea Augello was born in 1961 and Claudio Velardi, Fabio Beatrice Lorenzin Rampelli and is in the team to bring Polverini's room who was governor of the Lazio Piero Marrazzo. Velardi to know everything. A former communist, former PDS, ex Ds. He was one of Lothar Massimo D'Alema at Palazzo Chigi, and is considered a whimsical communication. Fabio Rampelli as Augello, is a former social movement. Needless to talk again of the years of beatings in the streets and so on. Today sums up: Augello has been able to call at the same table the party and the Roman upper classes, which for decades had been embarrassed, if not disgusting, to make common cause with blacks.

It was with the red or whites. Rampelli was able to call at the same table, the bourgeoisie and the people. As for Beatrice Lorenzin, she has a different story. E 'was born in San Camillo, Rome, thirty-eight years ago. He has always made political force in Italy and in '99, when he was a teenager, Silvio Berlusconi made the regional coordinator. The results have arrived. She is one who knows the neighborhoods, and Acilia Ostia, in particular, and policies of 2006 saw the result because there, in some villages of red, Forza Italy became the first party. Of these, Augello, however, is the most interesting. It 's a perfect example of that new right, coming up in the eighties, and that came out of the catacombs beginning with the change his shirt.

In a chronicle of '93, is a right described thus: "Almost all dress like former comrades, sweaters, pants cut, someone with long hair, shoes, Clark, there's even a bag of Tolfa. In the fall of Rome, Claudio Cerasa book, a portrait of Augello is this: 'It has always been regarded as the expression of that right a bit' Parioli, a little 'chic, no more tight pants and boots with blacks but Fred Perry and New Balance. " That is to say: "These militants in a suit and tie that to teens, instead of dreaming about revolution, dreamed of making the deputies." And therefore say that one day took ill with Maurizio Gasparri, a discussion began between the two bitter, and Augello, which is much larger book, took Gasparri and stuck his head in a puddle, or a true story that has a little dance: that tells you stories much of the fame of Augello.

that now has one of the heir of Goffredo Bettini, delicacy of line and ability to stay in the world, but is one who has friends (so they say) between Tassinari incattiviti more. Born in the tradition of the social right, and therefore no wonder if Anna Finocchiaro tight association with the Democratic Party, a former Communist, along with a book which has forgotten the massacre of Gela, the year 1943. Thesis of the book: it was all the fault degli americani. E insomma, si va a finire lì. Metti assieme uno come Velardi, una di strada come la Lorenzin, uno come Rampelli, li fai coordinare da Augello e viene in mente che nel Lazio, Alemanno più Polverini, la somma fa Fini. La Lorenzin dice che è banale: «Sarebbe tutto vero soltanto se noi fossimo il Pd, dove ci si combatte tra fazioni».

Augello ricorda che «nella storia del centrodestra, Fini ha la fiche di Roma almeno dal 1993». Tutta la classe dirigente (Silvano Moffa, Francesco Storace, Alemanno) è stata roba sua. Aggiunge che «se conquistassimo la Regione, la vittoria di Roma uscirebbe dalla categoria di episodio e prenderebbe la forma di una nascente polarità del centrodestra». That is a way of doing government. A new way. But there in the middle someone says, with a similar power, Fini ethologically would feel more reassured, and perhaps would not have all the reasons.
