Gnocchi bava e noci.



bava means saliva... how to make saliva?
melt in the frying pan swiss cheese (lerdammer), provolone cheese (galbanino), blue cheese (mascarpone gorgonzola) e some grated parmesan cheese, with cream (cooking cream or chef's cream) a bit of nutmet and a spoon of apple juice.





How to make the gnocchi: you buy them.
Bring the water to boiling point, add salt then toss in the ghocchi, When the come floatin on top you take them out immediately (when they float they are ready).
You scoop them out and toss them in the pan were you melted the cheese in the cream...
you sauté a bit and make the cream get nicely around the gnocchi,
break a few walnuts and toss them in.
add some on top for decoration.

It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and it's yummilicious!

Last exhile!

today kinda sad.
I do miss a pet really.
It was saturday, so even though I had work to do, I decided to go to the farm for lunch with my family to relax a bit.
So I can work on sunday and they won't blame me for working on sunday either.
It was really nice and warm, I bet there were like 20 degree celsius.... so i was always outdoor.
As soon as I open the car door I just flung myself outside Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... and disappear until I smell food cuz it's lunchtime. Like a wild cat.
Maybe I return with a dead fannel in my hand and present it to my mom "woman, make salad!"
My hunting instinct, I got a big one today a male fannel, those long and sweet ones that hide underground... but i saw it... it was huge and I went... "i'll make good use of you, thank you for looking so great"... also there were plenty of wild asparaguses.... they die so well in a frittata!
My father puts a bit of provoletta in it too.... mhhhhhhh!
So that was our lunch, asparagus frittata, fannel salad with corn and our olives, and fresh bread home delivered by the bakers... who goes around the countryside with his truck selling bread.
I didn't bring my camera but the today totally would have called for... cuz my dad, after lunch took the lamborghini for a ride... now the lamborghini is a beautiful, white... tractor.
She clean the field were we grow our veggies cuz while we were all sick here... the 3 of us, all with fever and cough.... the jungle was growing between our fava beans and the cabbages....
After he cleaned the whol thing... so neat and precise.... we got coffee and all these dogs starteg coming.
One of them is Zagor, my cousin's dog... the stupidest thing on Earth LOL, so funny... he comes and tackles me like a rugby player "miiiiine, the gal who plays with me and feed me dog foood!"
I bet he eats dried bread all the time....
anyway... these other two dogs showed up as well. One of them I call Dora, cuz she looks like a Dora... the other one is this little black, fuzzy bastard.... he is only after the gal and you can see it... while Dora is starving and is totally after food.
I want to grab her and bathe her and clean her wounds and take the tics off of her ear... but she doesn't like to be touched.
In the meantime the little black fuzzy bastard is growling...
excuse you, this is my place you get the heck outta here and don't growl at me because i am being nice to your lady friend.
Then zagor arrives... and he pees, pee-mail says "this is my territory"
he starts peeing closer and closer to the little thing, who still growls at him... and I keep calling him "zagor get away, he's gonna byte you, it's not worth it... "
but then he ends up peeing like one centimeter away from the doggie like "hullo, I want you to know that your territory is limited to your vitals space"
then i say "first of all, this is MY territory... you get it? My farm... my trees... my yard.... my territory... but I don't go peeing all over you and all over your things... second of all you are wagging your tail at him, that is really not convincing!"
Nevertheless zagor is dumb and ignores me... the little thing is still growling and so I decide to kick him off the land... takes a while it's 100 acres... dammit!! but you know... yougo growl back home don't come here were little rascals come for food and fun, not for fighting.

In the end I think Zagor is the funniest thing on Earth... I wish I could touch Dora and make her my farm's dog.. to keep weird animals away... but she is a girl... bound to get tons of puppies.... and I don't think my dad is up to a trip to a vet for a dog we are not sure is going to stick around....
still..... I wish I had a doggie... I see these beasts (XDD) only once a week and i truly become one of them... running around like crazy and jumping through the fields yelling at them LOL....
I want a doggie.
I really want a doggie.... After Ernst and Woofie... it's really hard to live in a house with no yard... no pets... surrounded by houses....

wish i could move to my farm house....

How to plant a tree.

buy the tree and put it in the trunk.












find a nice place for it.














with nice, pretty flowers....













and no weird looking mushrooms!!!














wear mickey mouse/michael jackson's looking glowes....











have your father dig the hole... XD

















while you look for rocks... to put in the hole
your father dug for you... with your pretty white gloves...











and after placing (always the father of course) the tree in the hole and put the dirt back....


















and ta-daaan! Here's your olive tree! (we planted 5 of them, plus a chestnut tree and a shiro plum tree... the almond tree is on its way)

Okay you gonna get a good laugh out of this.
Usually when I am stressed up with work I do not dream of space
invaders, humanflesh eating worms or stuff like that (no, I deam that
when I am on vacation and relaxed LOL) I usually either dream some
crazy adventure with Jack Sparrow (deda are you 13? Nay, I always
dream pirates adventures, jack Sparrow just joined my crew in latest
few years) or Gachan.

Well but last night beat them all, because I dreamt I was Gackt's mom.

Indeed, what the heck.
So I was in a crazy adventure Chronicles of Narnia style, trying to
save the world from en evil Elephant (yes I know U___U" but it's my
dream!)... and as I was trying to avoid a witch who was trying to sell
me muffins, and I don't like muffins so she must have been evil too, a
giant Kimutaku approaches us and I am trying to convince him to join
forces with us.
"With a beam of your smile you'll blind the elephant!" Make sense, right?
So then he replies "I cannot join you because he is having a bad hair day"
and he points at gachan, all sitting in a corner and moping about the
fact he was having a bad hair day.
That is so mean! - I thought - he is already so frustrated about it!
So then I told kimtaku.
"Hold on a second you don't talk like that about my gachan!"
So I went to gachan and pushed his hair back and I started fixing it
like a mom would... all telling him stuff like "here, put this back,
so that everyone can see your eyes, don't cover your face like that,
how can you see with such a long fringe in front of you eyes" and bla
bla... and he was not nagging like "mom, I am 30, I am professional
singer and leave me alone" Nooooo, he was smiling, gave me a pat on
the head and said "you are a good mama".
And in my dream I am all thinking "that didn't quite please me... why?"
in the end the giant kimutaku wants to know what's gachan's special
ability... so I say: sing.
He goes Oooooooooh!
the witche's house collapse ... ergo she was evil after all.
But then I realized that the rumble of the house collapsing was
actually my niece falling off the bed so I woke up and I thought
Damn! A giant Kimutaku and Gachan in one dream?
Why was I his Moooooom! T____T I was touching his hair and all, why
was I his moooom!! T_T

Mah, I don't feel that upset after all... i still had lingering
feelings of his soft hair and his smile and that was pleasant... I
wonder if his mama always bothers him like that and go like "here you
got rice stuck on your face, don't eat like a pig" and all. hahahahaha

We needed to move the wine of the barrel so we could wash it and ger rid of all the deposit,
In march will have to do the same thing again
as the wine has lots of floating particles and sedimentation and it takes it a long time to get rid of most of them.
So.... this year's wine came out a really nice color,
it's from a Sangiovese type of grape, the same type used for Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino, but mixed with some sweet local grapes... sinche the dirt here is different, has lots of iron... therefore the wine comes out strong and bitter.

I take picture of the nice wine....

.....as Mariotto places the hose so that the
pumo can suck all the wine out....

the wine comes out at great pressure and we decide this is something you cannot do indoor else... you get drunk just from the scent of it.







so out goes the wine...
... all the way
from the barrel to the ouside container,
that we previously washed...















we move it in this nice container
all 250 liters of it...
what a nice color and aroma...
it gets all frothy as it breathes....











I hold the hose moving it around
making sure the wine can breathe.





you can see my very fashionable
farmer's outfit here (Prada herself
asked me to put it on the market)

You can also see... it was very cold!







after washing the barrel from
the wine's deposit (and look how much
it made... some of it was already tossed away
but it was about 25 liter of pink mud), we revert
the process with the pump.














and the wine is now safe....


















....in farm's canteen!

care to come visit and try some?

this was the view from our room,
we were right next to the island of the
museum in former east berlin.

radisson's hotel main lobby.

my trip to berlin held many surprises,
this was in the lobby of the hotel we were staying at
it's 8 floor tall and it contains 1,000,000 cubic liter of water.
the hotel was amazing overall but the aquarium was gorgeous.
