#Fiction Monday (116) A few ideas about 'fresh' Cateva idei despre 'proaspat'
This game is hosted by Vinitha Dileep, on her blog 'Reflections' and
I discovered it on Esha's blog. This time the word prompt is 'FRESH'.
| A fresh start for my freesias! Un start nou al freziilor! |
I think looking for the fresh subjects around us, it is something instinctive.
Always, questions appear at certain moments, attracting our attention,
wanting answers for our life. Or our paths cross with new people, possibly
to exchange lessons and update settings we didn't even suspect that we have them... Maybe we don't interpret the new discoveries in this way: that they came to us
as a kind of unsolicited help. Whatever questions we ask ourselves, they deserve
a little effort to understand why they appeared in our mind, in our life.
Before sharing a recipe of a fresh cake, I leave a thought: Is it possible a fresh start, provided that the entry conditions (habits, beliefs -
strongly fixed ideas-) are the same? I personally do not really believe this!
.. I don't know when to locate this recipe in time. It was initially an experiment,
which has become a habit when I have to make a cake. I either buy the countertop
or use ladyfingers. When I did it, it was a disastrous result.
Do it again is on a wish list without a completion date!?
The tricks of this cake are the lemons and the cream: chestnut puree mixed with
yogurt and fruit marmalade with lemon juice. The syruping is also with lemon, "diluted" with a homemade liqueur, whatever you have in the kitchen. Cream is
used on the bottom and top layer, and marmalade is placed on the central layer.
I also add raisins (soaked in rum if they are too dry), walnuts and whatever
I have in the kitchen.
Because of the lemons, the cake is really fresh and can be eaten without any
problems after a more consistent menu. But not necessarily.
I mean, it's also perfect with coffee!
A cauta proaspatul in jurul nostru cred ca este ceva instinctiv. Mereu
apar intrebari ce in anumite momente ne atrag atentia, dorindu-si raspunsuri
pentru viata noastra. Sau drumurile ni se intersecteaza cu oameni noi, posibil
pentru a face schimb de lectii si a ne aduce la zi setarile pe care nici nu banuiam
ca le avem...
Poate nu interpretam in felul asta noul descoperit: ca el ne-a venit in intampinare
ca un fel de ajutor inca necerut. Oricare ar fi intrebarile pe care ni le punem,
ele merita un mic efort de a intelege de ce si pentru ce au aparut in mintea
noastra, in viata noastra.
Inainte de a va impartasi o reteta de tort fresh, las un gand:
Este posibil un start nou, in conditiile in care conditiile de intrare (obiceiuri,
credinte - idei fixate sanatos-) sunt aceleasi? Eu una nu prea cred asta!
... Nu stiu cand sa localizez in timp aceasta reteta. A fost initial un experiment
ce a devenit o obisnuinta cand am de facut tort.
Blatul fie il cumpar, fie folosesc piscoturi. Atunci cand l-am facut eu, a fost
un rezultat dezastruos. Recidiva este pe o lista de dorinte fara data de realizare!?
Trucurile acestui tort sunt lamaile si crema: piure de castane amestecat cu iaurt
si marmelada de fructe inmuiata cu zeama de lamaie. Insiroparea este tot cu
lamaie, 'diluata' cu un lichior de casa: afinata, cornata sau ce aveti la indemana.
Pe primul si ultimul strat se foloseste crema, iar pe al doilea se pune marmelada.
Mai adaug stafide (inmuiate in rom daca sunt prea uscate), nuci si ce mai
am prin bucatarie.
Din cauza lamaii tortul este chiar fresh si poate fi consumat fara probleme si
dupa un meniu mai consistent. Dar nu neaparat.
Adica e perfect si la cafea!
