Emilia Romagna - Rimini: bows and walking carnival

Carnival is coming to an end, tomorrow we will go to the masquerade in the closet and then riporremo costumes, masks and confetti. During the Carnival period I did once the damselfish and the bows. Perchèi Rimini are so called in the shape of a bow. I used this Recipe:
120 gr. flour 1 egg

1 heaping tablespoon of sugar
grated lemon peel
a little yeast and a little oil
Topastro did not want to help them prepare for, strange because he likes to mess around in the kitchen. But it did not repeat the call twice to eat them ...
I've prepared just because they're crunchy, sweet, one leads to another ... Better not have too many available. And did you see? I finally bought a real wheel for pasta and no longer have to borrow the plastic to Topastro.
After creating flakes pinch of the dough in the middle of the rectangle are put in hot oil for a short time and after having been passed onto a paper towel dusted with powdered sugar. But here you will find our recipe last year, the damselfish, another typical sweet Romagna getting ready for Carnival.
above instead This is the postcard I received from family Sybille ! Thanks this is wonderful flowery meadow with those beautiful mountains in the background. Sybille has organized an exchange Postcards from the regions of Italy to highlight all the good things that are part of our country: Italy 150: Only good things! But here you find the post dedicated to Rimini: Beautiful things Emilia Romagna .

Flat Genital Warts Black

I'm reading "The discovery of the child " by Maria Montessori. It was a bit 'of time I wanted to read this book because I like many of the "games" that are part of the Montessori method and I had loved the book "Children need of confidence." I was curious to read something written by Maria Montessori and I must say I like the book. I arrived about half of the book, I read a few pages every day and skip the parts that deal with topics too technical or too difficult for me. I also pointed out some parts and when I finish, maybe I will dedicate a post. But today I wanted to show the latest toys created from the book. I do not follow the Montessori method and my son attends a regular kindergarten. When a network or on the books I find something interesting that I'm sure interested in my child, I create!
not apply any particular method in the education of my Topastro, almost always follow my instincts, often read here and there of techniques to curb the whims, to eat the children, maybe you are inspired by things that inspire me, and so it is with Montessori. I do what I like and especially when I need. Lately Topastro is drawn from the buttons and try to insert them into the slots, so I created a few frames of the lacing, with recycled materials!
I took an old shirt petite but now that I was sorry to throw out and I clipped the side of the neck and chest with three colored buttons. I wanted a washable and not too hard to assemble this kit to learn how to tie and I was torn between a piece of the puzzle-soft carpet or a piece of mat Rubber products for gymnastics.
Our carpet-puzzle has the letters that are removed and put at the center of each tile and it was impossible to square cut a piece large enough, so I cut out three rectangles from the blue rubber mat. The other two cuts I used them for the other two kits. I sewed the shirt around the rubber part, in less than 30 minutes I had created a small frame to fasten the buttons.
Since I started a job ... I thought about doing other two kits: one with the metal hooks and a shoe with a strap.
I used the red cells for the kit with metal hooks and a piece of inflatable pool that was over because I cut a hole!
I have to tell the truth ... I thought these kits please my Topastro. Instead we played ten minutes and then continued to try to put the buttons in the slots using her apron for asylum :-)
Another game that I proposed to Topastro these days is a hearthstone ellipse-shaped line. We used duct tape to create the blue line (ours is more like a circle a little bit crushed), and Topastro has enjoyed a good deal ', after I showed him how to walk barefoot on the blue line. He still can not put the legs on the line perfectly but the game liked it! He did it with a plastic dish containing beans because I did not dare give him a full glass of colored liquid ...
When you are tired of walking he began to dance around the wing line and then rotate the ellipse about the same, until he said, because the home runs? He also invented the game of throwing bean and launch of magic ball. He took center ellipse and launched, making crawling on paviemento, one of his magical bowling. With beans instead did the opposite game: throw the beans in the center of the ellipse. Needless for me to say that the beans are at home everywhere on the floor, under beds and sofas in the bathroom ...
Always with beans, Topastro asked me to play a guess at what he had made a fist and it makes me so tenderly. Opens her hands in front of me, the bean and then the system tells me: guess where!

Calories In Bella Italia

Cabin board orsettino

In our house the cardboard boxes, large and small, are often turned into games. We have created a mini kitchen , a digital camera the hut for the crib, a theater of shadows , a train and several other games.
A simple game that I've never posted on this blog is the house. Topastro and Chicken, the male cat at home, if the contest is for a while 'Cause even a chicken really like the cardboard boxes and there you see a jump in immediately. But he wanted Topastro a house for his small teddy bear and I helped to look for items to furnish it.
We have recovered a small box that has become a small table, covered with a piece of yellow cloth that serves as a tablecloth. A small roll of toilet and the board has become a bit of a red carpet pile.
An old wooden box that contained the bed turned out to be as perfect! I cut a small door with a hook and I also created the handle.
The house made with the cardboard box turned for home for some time when I remembered Piccolalory of this post and asked to choose Topastro figures to further decorate the house Bear. Topastro chose three orolori and some furniture :-)

Oversized Dune Buggy Plans

Muffin for Saint Lucia

This recipe is one that I usually use to prepare the muffins, nothing special in the ingredients. And it's not even the original recipe, I like them so, they are good, soft and low in fat. Of special is instead a ' initiative launched by Caris, to highlight the fact that the department of neuro-physiology Fondazione Santa Lucia di Roma probably will be closed for lack of funds.
So Caris has mobilized the world of blogs to create a buzz. I wonder that so many people all together can not change your mind to people who have the power to decide whether or not to close a department like that.
Meanwhile Caris wants to collect as many recipes bright and colorful and give the department mentioned above. And here they are the cakes that I prepare quite often, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with raisins or coconut flour, in short, by adding what you like best.
Main Ingredients:
300 gr flour 200 gr sugar
80 g corn oil
1 small jar of vanilla yogurt
1 / 2 packet of baking powder, (8 grams)
2 eggs the juice of two oranges (or another cup of yogurt)
blend the ingredients until you get a composed of relatively soft, the consistency of a thick yogurt. I'll add more or less orange juice to create the right consistency of the compound. Alternatively, you can put two pots of yogurt instead of one. Also because of oranges in a little while he will find it. Most of the time I will prepare simple, does not bring those. But this is a special occasion and it takes a little bit of color! We divide the mixture into glasses or bowls and is colored with a few drops of food coloring. Blue, red, green, yellow ... Maybe even the cocoa :-)
A Now you can add chocolate chips, raisins, hazelnuts ... you put paper cups in the pan with the appropriate holes and fill with the dough to about an inch from the edge of paper. I put the muffin colored dough in layers of three different colors and I covered with granulated sugar.
The muffins are baked in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes, I always use a toothpick to make sure they are cooked to perfection. Should not be cooked too much, otherwise they lose their softness. Unfortunately you have to wait for it to cool to taste, and maybe cut them in half and stuff them with chocolate cream !
And here is the banner of the initiative, above. If you want to participate and give you a new recipe or old, to be published or posted already, go read
