Interesting Nut

Interesting to see this Walnut. Looks like this one has 3 outer walls. Do you see it…

“I guess we all are unique in many ways.”

Had these on my kitchen counter for months now… I think I am going to bake something with them…

Does anyone have a nice recipe for adding them to baking?

Fresh Rhubarb

File 2017-05-17, 12 40 02 PMYes finally something fresh again from my garden….Rhubarb is ready for some good stuff. I love to make this flan we call “Weihe” in Switzerland. So yummy and soooo easy to make too. File 2017-05-17, 12 39 45 PM

Make a pastry from flour, butter, water, vinegar and salt. Let it rest for about 1 hour in fridge. Roll the pastry out and place in backing dish, add the cut up rhubarb. Place in oven for 10 min. Now add the egg,milk and sugar mix to the flan backing in oven  for another 45 min or till egg mixture is solid.

Ohhh sooo yummy

 

Baking,Baking…..more Baking

img_9158Woo isn’t in the kitchen this time of year…well It took a little for me this year. As I was chatting with my mom back home last Thursday it came to me I really should have some fresh new bread and cookies in our home too. So let’s get busy….in no time I had dough for two “Zopf”  rising and “Spitzbuebe” (a Swiss Cookie) cookie dough in fridge cooling to roll out later too

Ohhh soooo the bread was backing and the cookies had been filled with home-made Plume Jam too. Though I can also try one of my Cranberry-Vinegar. Perfect for Carrot salad dressing. My home was warm with all the baking aroma….Are You hungry yet?

 

Wer wird jetzt nicht schon in der Küche sein und baken zu dieser  Jahreszeit?  

Es dauerte ein wenig für mich in diesem Jahr…. Als ich am vergangenden Donnerstag mit meiner Mutter zuhause in der Schweiz plauderte ja via Skype , wurde mir klar dass ich doch etwas baken sollte. So frisches Brot und Guetzli. So let’s get busy….in kurzer Zeit hatte ich Teig für zwei “Zopf” und “Spitzbuebe”  Teig im Kühlschrank zu kühlen..

Schnell schnell ging das Brot in den Oven und die Cookies waren gefüllt mit selbs gemachter Pflaumen Konfiture.

Oven wieder abgekühlt kochte ich dann auch noch Cranberry-Vinegar perfekt für Rübli- Salatsoße ist …..Mein Haus duftete mit allen den Backen Aromas….
