It’s autumn!!
At last.
Autumn means, among other things, apple pies.
Apple pies are fragrant, simple, comforting; they smell of home, nest, of slow breakfasts and of afternoon made of chats.
They are so easy you can make them even if you have children around and, if you chooese th right recipe, they can be light enough not to ruin your diet.
Today I had my first approach with school homeworks, I’m worn out.
I screamed more than St. Hartman, before you can say something like how convenient could be a soft approach please consider my son is a lovely boy but he could eat Ms. Montessori whole, alive.
He’s not even remotely touched by any request made in a polite way; at the very start he’s very keen to his homeworks, he cares about doing them right and well, when he discovers homeworks are more than he expected the big drama starts.
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.
I’m introducing this brand new baking season with a very easy cake even if here the weather is still as hot as in July ( please autumn come here fast).
It’s all chocolate, it’s delicious and it’s great with some whipped cream on the side.
This is the most precious recipe on blog along with piadina flatbread.
Mascarpone ( the name of the dessert is the same of the cheese it’s made from, mascarpone cheese) is the most festive sweet treat, no matter if it’s Christmas or mid-August holiday, no one from Romagna, in his full digestive capacity, would choose a sherbet if he can choose a mascarpone.
