Romanian Cozonac

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

 

I love to cook almost like I like to paint and embroidery. I ken say I start to be expert in cooking doing that every day 8 hours .After my job hours I enjoy cooking home and experimenting in this direction . Romanian Cozonac is a sweet  bread same time simple same time with nuts , same time with pappy seeds or dry fruits . I try to remember my youngest age when my grandma use to do this dessert so good .And this days I try it .

IMG_9467

This is my bread machine where I did my sweet bread first time .

IMG_9462 IMG_9463 IMG_9464 IMG_9465 IMG_9466 IMG_9468 IMG_9469

Today I tried again IMG_9475 IMG_9476 IMG_9477 IMG_9478 IMG_9479   IMG_9480 IMG_9481 IMG_9484 IMG_9485 IMG_9486

And i ad same dry cranberries , was developed so hi  and rich the top of the bread machine and I have to transfer the Cozonac for another 10 minutes in oven to bake the top . Finally I had a fan  time and the test is grate .  Next time I will try to roll the dough around a nuts or pappy seeds filling . 

On the roof

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

In spring I enjoy the trees around our property when their flowers and lives start to show their splendor   , in summer I love their shade , in this time I have to pay tribute for that . Hundreds of lives stocked  on our roof , on our yard .

 

IMG_9383  IMG_9382 IMG_9381

Yes , this is on the roof , looks like a lake , is not beautiful ?

IMG_9379 IMG_9378 IMG_9388 IMG_9396 IMG_9395 IMG_9390 IMG_9389

I look from the roof on the back yard

IMG_9397

IMG_9394 IMG_9392 IMG_9391 IMG_9387

I clean it !IMG_9386 IMG_9385 IMG_9398 

Then I start to cook

IMG_9402 Cabbage rolls  again, Thursday is Thanksgiving , so i start to prepare same .

IMG_9405

IMG_9406

IMG_9404 IMG_9408 IMG_9407   And I did same bread ( 1o ) with carrots, suit potatoes , apples, cranberry , dried plums, bananas and all nuts.

IMG_9421

I like to eat this bread with Inka instant grain beverage ,Naturalis  Inka  is a rich , flavorful beverage enjoyed by Polish families for generations .Ray , barley ,beets and chicory root are simply roasted , ground and combined . Is the perfect substitute for coffee and a grate testing drink in its own right . The roasted beets lend   a subtitle  sweetness that is naturally.
