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.

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.

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!

The things I've been loving November 2020

 

Hi guys! Today I want to share my sweet little things I currently love. I am doing fine but of course I feel tired of all this ... you know what ( C 😷😷😷).  The pets have become  nasty and grumpy, as you might see above. (Claire- Genevieve is planning to publish her own story in a short time). So let's talk my things. Firstly, I bought an eco baking moulds in Rossmann. Unfortunately, it has happened some time ago and I realised for now that I did throw out the packaging. That means I cannot tell you the brand. Anyhow, it is available in Rossmann and I paid around 6 zł for the  set of a few moulds. I don't remember proof , but I think they sell three moulds in a set. I am not sure. It looks like paper but it is not. This is made from coconut. You can use it only one time. 

I baked this yeasty buns/ brioches with sugary top, it was delicious! I must start publish my food posts again. I wanted smaller bun than in the recipe and I baked mini version of it. I do it often with recipes. 

And the next thing that brings me joy is my hand cream from Ziaja. I am not a huge fan of Ziaja, I mean I am buying  from time to time. I bought this cream in the grocery store in the neighbourhood, because it was the only one hand cream available in the shop. So I had no choice. Then it turned out that this scent is turning me back  to the years I had my old dog Misiek and it was a very nice and unexpected feeling.  Kozie Mleko is Goat's Milk, you know it.

Look how beautiful roses I had! Well, I still have them... They're standing very long, longer than a week. The scent is also awesome. Even Claire -Genevieve showed some respect to this beauty and she did not eat it nor destroy ( certainly too high for her ). I have been watching the Eurovision Contest for kids tonight and maybe I will post about it in a few day.

For the end you see my small jar of honey. This is Polish wooden honey from Masuria, I paid around 15 zł for it in Carrefour. My favourite honey is wooden and also heather honey. I use to buy buckwheat honey too, so rather those darker ones. 15 zł is around 3 Euro for 250 g. 

Do you see this hair?(😑😑😑) This is my dog's hair... < no, no we don't see any hair in your honey >

( It was your part to tell, guys)

See you soon!

This is selfie and she sees herself 💗💗💗

My feline story Autumn 2020

 

Welcome, pawsies! Claire - Genevieve is back! Oh, I was missing you... Sorry I was absent during the summer months. The human was making some problems so I wasn't able to keep you up to date. Hope you will understand, guys.

My life is going well. Every morning I hunt for pigeons, and afterwards I nap and I am dreaming about how to prepare a fresh pigeon. One day I will catch. I will bake it like humans do with chicken. I will tell you about the weather too. We experience warm days now. We had 19C last week and 17C has been expected in the next few days. According to the forecast, you know.

Sometimes it rains a little but it makes the season more cosy. I was wondering maybe I should keep my own blog, but finally I decided to be here, together with my human.

See you next time, pawsies!

The things I have been loving this time

 Hello guys, I am back on here! I feel sorry I wasn't keeping you up to date. It is been awhile since the day I posted here for the last time, don't you. I had been seriously busy but for now I have a little bit more free time so I am back.

September is obviously the month of an apple cake. As you might know from my recent posts I have a few abandoned apple trees in the neighbourhood, which grow completely wild in the park, in the place free from the traffic polution. I have been there already and my bag was full of apples, believe me guys. This is the cake I baked then. ( I have baked similar cake also earlier if you remember, but this is the next one).

I will bake another cake soon and today I added a few apples to the goose's legs  - great combo ever.

This is the chocolate I received as a present and I was trying it for the first time. I mean, for the first time  from this particular brand, but I know the taste of bitter chocolate with chilli. I love it! Wedel is very famous Polish brand and they make chocolates, pralines, drinking cocoa, bars and more. I have lived for a long time in the neighbourhood of their factory. The factory is an old building here in Warsaw and the divine aroma of hot chocolate is in the air while you are walking down the street there. This is unforgettable, believe me.

This is me in my dress I bought in Bon Prix. ( I don't have  any agreement, I really bought it). It was rather cool summer  this year, with rainy July and only in August we had proper summer weather. The weather in September is still good for summer clothes, but it seems like October will be cold. We sometimes experience really warm Octobers here in Poland, last year we had even 27 C one day, but they say in the forecast this year we will have around 10 C!

My dog stole the toy I brought home for her and then forgot to give it.

I hope you  have enjoyed it. I am coming to read your posts soon.

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.
