Szánet blogja!

I baked some cookies for Christmas, from recipes I discovered on the net and thought I would share. The big ones on the bottom are lemon ricotta cookies with a lemon glaze. Easy and yummy!

We're getting ready for Christmas dinner #2 here; the first one was with the DH's family at the sister-in-law's house so we're hosting my family today with the second one. Busy making turkey dinner with all the trimmings but I thought it was time to post the Stollen (I baked for both Christmas dinners!).

In my last post, my writing in English was complimented by some TFLers. Since this is my last post in the last day of the year (in a few minutes it will be already 2016 here), I will make this special by writing in my first language (We are a former Spanish colony and although we don't speak Spanish, we retained some of their words. If you speak Spanish, you may find similar words with different spelling but the same meaning), it has also many pictures because I also want to show a way of life here.

After 2 weeks of making new weird stuff; a witch yeast and a cooked potato starter, Lucy decided to combine them with our rye sour starter to make a triple levain bread quite unlike many other triple levain breads usually available everywhere else.

No sourdough or yeast. A quick savoury loaf made with coarse polenta, sweet corn kernels, rosemary and grated parmesan. It is really good with a just a bit of butter.
