This is the recipe I’m waiting to post since 2006, when I opened my first blog.
Why so long if this is not a difficult dish or with strange or unusual ingredients?
Well, crostini are something we usually eat out, in our osterie or pubs, they are a typical pub food so it’s not something you often make at home.
Halloween, my favourite feast, is coming and this year I would like to post something themed as usual but this October I’m very busy with beautiful things, I’m going to Ljubljana with my sisters and to Lucca Comics & Games ( our Comicon to explain briefly) with friends so I decided to give a scary flair to a recipe I have to do for our monthly Bloggalline’s ( a foodblogger group) recipe exchange.
This month I made a recipe from Zucchero and Cannella, Gabriella’s blog, full of nice things, expecially bread and sweets.
September is in full bloom, this week schools are going to open after the usual long summer break ( about 3 months of holiday, it could sound strange abroad) and my son Lorenzo in three days is going to be a primary school boy.
Even if we cared a lot about introducing this new step with joy, trying to instill in him curiosity, he only got he’s going to hell or somewhere similar, he’s not going to have any friend and he will fail the year for sure.
It’s great having such a bright and positive son.
He’s harassing himself and us, these three days will be very long, I hope he will discover school is not this bad.
My personal battle with raising dough goes on.
I’m never fully pleased about how they turn out, no matter if I use sourdough or yeast; maybe I’m too strict with myself, maybe I just have to keep on trying to have better results.
The mini buns you see here are undoubtedly great, they are a recipe from Gino Fabbri, pastry master and president of the Club de la Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie; I’ve just changed size and the shaping method.
My son Lorenzo is victim of chicken pox; of course everything started on Thursday so we are forced to a long week end closed at home.
Now it’s Sunday and I think the sickness is at its peak: since this morning he’s crying hard because red spots itch and burn, yesterday evening he got 102°F; seeing him like this is a real pain.
We are grateful I reached the vaccination before getting sick or it would be a big trouble.
