Baked apples, short trip to Warsaw and back, autumnal mood

 Pieczone jabłko jest esencją jesieni. Chodzi o to, żeby dać do środka trochę masła ghee i miodu, i jeszcze coś jak migdały albo orzechy włoskie. Tym razem ja dałam liofilizowane organiczne jagody. Podstawka jest do pieczenia kurczaka na ruszcie.

To jabłko zerwałam w Warszawie w sekretnym miejscu, ze zdziczałej jabłoni, i potem wiozłam je pociągiem do innego miasta żeby je upiec. Zawsze zbierałam te jabłka z moimi psami, jak jeszcze żyły.

Baked apple is very essential, right? This is very autumnal. My secret is a bit of ghee and organic honey to add to the apple. Then you may add whatsoever like almonds, walnuts. This time I added freeze-dried organic  berries. The form  I use is for chicken.

I picked up this apple in my secret spot where wild apple tree grows. I was carrying it in the train and I baked it in another town afterward. I used to collect these apples every year with my dogs. So for now they are gone.

Chleby oliwkowe z tureckiego przepisu upieczone kiedyś w nocy.

I baked these flat olive breads one night. It is some Turkish recipe.

Krótki wypad na kilka godzin do Warszawy i z powrotem. Za kilka dni znowu tam będę.

One-day-trip to Warsaw and back. I will be back in Warsaw in a few days.

Almond cookies

Recently I baked these almond cookies and they are really delicious. I would share the recipe, is very easy and not time -consuming.

You will need: 1 glass  organic rice flour, 1/2 glass cane sugar organic, 2 glasses organic almond flour, 

6 table spoons organic ghee, 1 table spoon cold water, whole organic almonds,

Mix rice flour and cane sugar in the bowl. Add almond flour and mix it all together. Add ghee and knee it all, then add water. This is one spoon in the recipe but I added a bit more. Make small balls from the dough. Put in in the baking form and press one almond into every ball. Bake around 12 minutes in 180C. Very easy right?

Znowu tutaj / Back here

 Ten blog był niby definitywnie zamknięty i jakiś czas miałam drugi, potem nie pisałam na obu. Moja suczka umarła. Ostatni post był o tym, że zachorowała - jakoś sześć lat temu. Teraz mieszkam w innym mieście i mam innego psa. Tamta historia to był taki koszmar że do dzisiaj trudno mi o tym mówić. Wydaliśmy kilka tysięcy na ratowanie jej a weterynarze żle opiekowali się nią po operacji i niestety ja musiałam podjąć decyzję o uśpieniu jej bo strasznie cierpiała.

ENG: I had closed this blog forever and also I am still keeping the second blog. For some time I was not present both on the two sites. My dog passed away. My last post about six years ago was that she was sick. I live in another town now and I have another dog. The story that my dog was sick it is still like a horror to me. I even cannot talk about it. We spent big money for saving her and finally I had  to put her to sleep. She suffered very much and it was no choice because of medical mistakes. She is a victim.

Chciałabym wznowić ten blog jako stronę ze wspomnieniami o niej. Wydaje mi się że ona nie odeszła. Czasem spotykam ją we śnie. Często przyjeżdżam do Warszawy i odwiedzam stare miejsca. Teraz byłam w marcu ale niedługo znowu jadę.

ENG: I would start this blog again as a memory site about my dog. I have the feeling she is still next to me. She is not gone. I meet her in my dreams from time to time. I visit Warsaw often so I am able to go through our old paths. Last time I was in March but I will travel again soon.

My feline story December 2020

 

Well, excuse me guys... In general I want to say hello, but I am napping as you might see, right?

The cinammon rolls are eaten, as you might see... The be frank, I am more grumpy than I was some time ago. I am getting older and more grumpy. 

Mom baked the rolls yesterday and she will show you later. This is very windy day here in Warsaw today. We had 10C yesterday and now is getting colder again. Mom has  new sewing machine. I predict she will sew all winter long 😟😟😟

you can watch also here

I want to share it, because I am pretty sure there is my ancestor. 

Would you like to watch it to the end? This is very short indeed. In the end you will see my ancestor. I am very similar, don't you think? Do you like it? As far as I am concerned it is so fancy! So beautiful! This is from 1906! So long time ago... Mom told me surely I am from France!

Christmas just around the corner! I usually sleep during every holidays. I was told by Mom maybe we will experience snow this year... So maybe I will watch. I cannot promise. Best regards, your Claire - Genevieve from Warsaw. See you next time!

My old postcards

 

Today I am back with the old post cards I want to show you. The first one you might see above must be older than I am, as I remember this post card from my childhood. I remember I had it in my kindergarten years. This is all from my parents collection. So it is South Bay, Scarborough. I guess from the U.S. don't you. The next is beautiful Polish postcards and also quite old. The roses are so magnificent!

Finally I wanted to show you this postcards with the cat, who is very simiar to Claire- Genevieve. This is old Polish card too. Great drawing! This postcard is really precious to me and sometimes I think maybe I should frame it.

It is been good on here and autumn has been warm and sunny this year. At least in September! They say in the forecast next week we will experience 27C, so the weather still is great and summery. Of course I am still very busy. The nights became cold like winter, even 9C. You can have quite warm day, I mean over 20C, but then the evening always brings you cold air, that you need your winter jacket to go out. I like Polish autumns, the variety of colours and shadows all around me and all this splendid awesome food. I adore cooked corn with butter and salt, apple cakes and making jams from prunes. Hope you are having nice Sunday too!

The cakes I baked during the pandemy

I think it has become a trend. Baking during the pandemy, the lack of yeast in many countries, here in Poland too. I use to bake often and for me it wasn't a new thing, although I am aware lots of guys started to bake during their lockdown time because they had the opportunity which normally has not been given to them.

The first cake is called miodownik  that means honey cake. It is a Jewish recipe I found in old Polish calendar. I baked it for the first time and I must admit it was delicious! I added Polish wood honey and also walnuts. I want to bake it again, but now honey is over. Wood honey is very expensive here in Poland.

The second is a lemon cake, from the recipe I found on the sugar packaging few years ago. This is very fat and also delicious cake, I bake it rarely because it has been really fattening. This is also a glaze in the recipe but I skipped it, as I am not a massive lover of a glaze at all.

And here is the third one and it is mini carob bun from my own recipe. I love carob and as a dog owner I do prefer to bake anything from carob than chocolate or cocoa. Dogs cannot eat chocolate but they tolerate carob very good.  If you want me to share some recipe tell me in the comment and I shall publish.

Today we experience the first really warm day this summer. I did some shopping and I washed my hair, also I took my dog for the longer walk. We were in the woods and near the pond. She took a cool dip. Maybe tommorrow I will bake again.

Ulubione rzeczy Wrzesień 2018 / Favourities September 2018

1. Kultura i sztuka/ Culture and Art 

Książka do kolorowania dla dorosłych, którą kupiłam już jakiś czas temu na wyprzedaży w Auchan. Niektóre rysunki maluję flamastrami a niektóre kredkami.Jak oglądałam Vueltę, to tak  fajnie się rysowało. Bardzo udany wypoczynek psychiczny. W tej książce nie ma rysunków konkretnych rzeczy, same wzory orientalne .

I am very keen on this cartoon book for adults. " Hinduskie motywy" that means Indian , and taking it proof, this book is Polish and the style is Indian. It contains only patterns in the gorgeous Oriental style. I bought this cartoon book in Auchan with lowered price. I paint it with  the marker pens  and the coloured pencils. I did it while I had been watching the race Vuelta. Very good relax I must admit.

2. Domowe rzeczy / Household 

W Pepco, które otworzyli mi koło bloku, kupiłam sobie taki czajnik. We wrześniu czajnik się przydaje, bo wieczory są już chłodne i miło jest mieć taki czajnik i kubek gorącej herbaty.

Jednego dnia temperatura wynosiła 30C, koło północy poszłam z psem w sandałach i letniej spódnicy, owiewał mnie ciepły wiatr... Rano było raczej zimowo, temperatura 14C. Skończyło się trzydniową migreną. W pażdzierniku lato ma wrócić.

I have this new kettle from Pepco. As you might know from my recent posts, I have a new Pepco store very close to my place. And guys this is already September! In September we have colder evenings here in Poland, so a new kettle has been a worthy investment. It is very cosy to brew a mug of tea in the evening. Thus, one day was very warm, the temperature was about 30C and the evening was very warm too. I went with my dog in the midnight, I was in my summer skirt and lovely summer breeze was blowing on me. Believe me or not, in the morning it was winter, only 14C and I got a headache. I had it for three days. Summer will be back in October.

3. Kosmetyki / Cosmetics 

Zamówiłam sobie paczkę w Yves Rocher, ale nie bardzo mam czas żeby to wszystko fotografować. Ten lakier też tam był i jego odcień jest bardzo ładny.

I have the box I had ordered at Yves Rocher, I do not show all of it due to my lack of time. This nail polish was in the box too and I love its shadow.

4.Telewizja / Watching tv 

We wrześniu oglądałam nawet sporo telewizji, głównie wyścig kolarski Vuelta a Espana. Całego oczywiście nie miałam czasu obejrzeć, ale na pewno więcej niż połowę. Michał Kwiatkowski był liderem i jechał w czerwonej koszulce przez trzy dni, a Rafał Majka jest bardzo wysoko w klasyfikacji generalnej. Mnie osobiście fascynuje też Asturia, i w ogóle północna Hiszpania.
I have been watching even much during this September, in particular the race Vuelta a Espana. Obviously I had no time to watch it all, although I have seen more than a half of it. Michał Kwiatkowski was the leader of the race for the three days and he did ride in the red jersey. Also Rafał Majka took very high place in the overall standing . Not to mention I am very impressed by Asturia and the northern Spain in general.

Oprócz tego oglądałam też relację live z huraganu Florence w CNN, i trochę rosyjskiej telewizji. Teraz oglądam mistrzostwa świata w kolarstwie w Innsbrucku, ale to raczej z doskoku, bo czasu brak.
I watched also the hurricane Florence live in CNN and Russian tv a little bit. I watch the world championships in cycling now, however I have no time to watch it all. This year the championships are in Innsbruck.

5. Ubrania / Outfits 

W związku z cudowną pogodą zamiast jesiennych butów wyjęłam z szafy stare klapki z Deichmanna, które przeleżały w pawlaczu chyba 8 lat, bo zapomniałam o nich. Vintage!
I got my old flip - flops from the wardrobe, instead of the warm, autumnal ones. The weather was so sweet... I have it from Deichmann, when I bought the flip- flops eight years ago and then I forgot that I have it. Vintage!

Potem jednak musiałam je z powrotem schować, po tym koszmarnym ochłodzeniu. W pażdzierniku może wyjmę je znowu.

After that shocking weather break I had to hide it in the closet again. Nevertheless, in October summer will be back.

6. Jedzonko / Food 

Te wafelki to są jedyne wafelki, które lubię. Wybór wafelków w Polsce jest ogromny i zresztą można je kupić w bardzo wielu krajach, nasze polskie. Ale ja kocham od lat te ze Słowacji  w wersji klasycznej, czyli takie mleczne. Oto zdjęcie z "gryzem" też... To by było na tyle. Następny post napisze kot.

Those waffers " Góralki" I adore! Even if here in Poland we have tons of Polish waffers in every shop, I go for those! " Góralki" are undoubtly my beloved, and I have been loving those sweets for many years. And it must be this classic version you see on the picture, milky ones. It is made in Slovakia. You see how I bited it ( I beg your pardon haha) So, time to say good bye for today. The next post will be written by the cat.
