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.

Christmas 2020

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It was a very rainy day this Christmas Eve and also very warm, at least for us, as we had 8C today. I went for a longer walk with my dog and I was with no hat on my head because of the warm weather. Unluckily it started to pour heavily while we were at the pond so I returned home completely wet. Now I wait for... Ok, maybe not. We will see! ( I am in general from those who catch infections rarely)

Yesterday I had to go shopping at night and it was unplanned. It was a nice time in the shopping mall, but then I was bothered so much! That is why I did not posted yesterday. I was back home around midnight and then I went walk my dog. Plenty of people in the mall, all the shops were opened and it was really nice. 

More images soon! See my carob cookies? Already eaten. I baked cheesecake too and I added real vanilla beans so the aroma is awesome! I love this scent of warm cake and vanilla! Almost eaten ... Tommorow I will bake goose with apples and we have lot of food I will show you later.

This is one of my favourite Christmas carol! I like it even more than Polish carols. I bought also vegan pate very expensive in organic shop ( it was close to midnight) and vegan yoghurts, but I got also French sausage before in a normal store. Well, ok. The last days have been really tiring believe me. 

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.

May 2020

Hello everypawdy!

So the May is gone. The spring this year has been very difficult for all of us. I don't have to tell you that... Here in Poland in May we experienced some progress if it comes to the restrictions. They opened restaurants, cancelled the limit of passengers in public transport, allowed people to walk without masks. I love it, although sometimes I think it could be back. I mean the cases can start to rise and the restrictions will be back, so I am hesitant about it all.

This spring is rather cold and the average day temperature in May was under 20C, also lot of rains and windy days, which I don't especially like. Hope the June will be much warmer. I am doing some renovations  in the apartment and I am busy or exhausted. This is why you don't see me on here often. I must deal with it and then it will be done.

I was browsing my books and I have selected these I want to keep and other I will try to sell or donate. I have a lot of books I want to read but still the lack of time. I listened to my old everegreen songs like old The Cure hits, it makes me feel better even if it is sadness in this music. I baked a few cakes I will show you later. I think maybe I will start baking blog. Also I selected my clothes, for donate and some of it I threw out.
