Della CANCEROGENICITA’ dell’aspartame se ne parla da tanto. Anche Loranablog ne scrive da 6 (!) anni ad oggi. Adesso che anche Report ha mostrato le ricerche che ne dimostrano la tossicita’, chissa’ che voi non prendiate piu’ sul serio il problema. Non uno degli amici/conoscenti messi in guardia su Cola Zero e altri prodotti dietetici ha cambiato le proprie abitudini. A questo punto si puo’ parlare di selezione naturale: il cervello e’ vostro
O.& K. made me a very nice gift for my birthday: a handy grill-bucket! Tonight we tried it: it worked perfectly for two people! Thanks again: it deserved a couple of cool pictures
Find a spot in the woods like the one in the picture (Canton Zurich) and hunt for Bärlauch: the younger, the better! Take care dogs and humans are not too close to your Bärlauch treasure spot, as you will eat the leaves raw. Once home, wash them properly with cold water and centrifuge to remove water. Then, prepare the pesto:
- Bärlauch leaves: 1/4th to 1/3rd of a shopping bag
- 100 g of good pine nuts
- Some Sea salt from Sicily
- Swiss good butter as sufficient
- 200 g Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Some pepper
- Good Italian extravergine olive oil
- 700-800 g of spaghetti
Put everything except the spaghetti in a mixer, get the pesto in a bowl, boil water, cook spaghetti. Make the portions for your guests, put additional olive oil and grated Parmigiano on the spaghetti and let your friends adding the Bärlauch Pesto! Buon appetito!
PS If you hunt for Bärlauch in the morning and you have to cook in the evening, keep the washed and centrifuged Bärlauch leaves in a bowl sealed with plastic foil in the fridge.
PPS Some like to add garlic and hot pepper to the pesto, I don’t as they cover the delicate taste of Bärlauch
All inclusive of canned Italian tomato, fresh mozzarella, Sicilian oregano, sea salt and Santa Tea delicious extravergine olive oil. Hopefully my colleagues will appreciate them also as cold dishes for tomorrow lunch.
The name of this green monster is “Sancho Panza”. It is said to be a typical Russian cake. It is a 3 layered giant, between each level ananas and walnuts are hidden. The lowest layer contains cacao. Sour cream, crème fresh and yoghurt on the top. Kiwi slices a’ la discrétion. At least this is what my wife backed this week end. To be honest, it looks strange but it tastes good
Once on a tram in Genève I heard two French women enthusiastic for Soviet Union cartoons. I asked tonight my Soviet expert about it and she pointed me out Jil byl pes. Cute, isn’t it? Even better watching it while eating some soviet bonbons…
4. The options for cross country skiing in Zermatt are more professional, but forget about “polenta con porcini” after it.
5. From Valtournenche or Cervinia you can cross the national border and ski on Zermatt slopes … and vice versa – but Cervinia nights are only in Cervinia…
1. Rent a flat in advance in websites like this one. We had a very good experience in “Singlin di sopra”, a tiny village between Valtournenche and Cervinia.
2. If you bring your shiny new car to Italian Alps in winter, don’t be surprised tourists will by accident let their sky fall on your ex shiny new car.
3. Don’t buy ski pass lasting more than a day. Weather is very unstable at 3,500 m.s.l. – so it is better you choose your activities day-by-day
5. Between 25.12 and 6.1 very nice entertainment evenings are organized in Valtournenche and Cervinia. Go for them!
And finally, it is true Italians do not respect queues, do drive even worst on snow and let their skies falling down on your ex shiny new car – nevertheless we bet food and housing quality / price cannot be beaten by neighboring countries.
So much we read and heard this year about Strasbourg being THE capital of Christmas, that we chose to pay a visit to it!
Guided by the native M. – a friend of us knowing each corner of the city – we had two enchanting days in the streets of Strasbourg. Indeed, we found a whole city ready to celebrate Christmas, but also delicious Alsace food (you must try baeckeoffe!), pretty men (at lest this is what girls said), gipsy musics and kind people.
You can dislike the topic, but this is the kind of PC games I like. Maybe cyanobacteria will save the world sooner or later, if only prices to produce energy out of them will sink.
Better to act early enough, before food crisis boosts (watch the tragic documentation in this exclusive post movie! – better in full screen)
We tried all possible excuses to avoid wandering in cold, Autumn woods looking for mushrooms this year. Finally we had to go – and we got more than a Kg of tasty brownies – so many we had to slice and dry them!
