What Does High Alt And Billirubin Mean?

"It' s weird to go without pain" ... the melancholy of and the consolation of a arrividerci absolute genius pastry: light and versatile, the cake water (deceptive name that hides a special taste)

And tomorrow I will labor really. Among the incidents have seen, outings (tiring and irritating) in the capital, calls in Rome, Milan, Bologna and Chiasso (Switzerland pleasant place) tomorrow I raise the curtains for that of Bodrum.
Son of few words tonight. It 's weird, I know, how strange to go without pain, without a vote of women from having to remember "... I did not head for the women of course, but it makes me a bit storge 'the mouth that I have not left anything behind and still have much to do here, and he decided to leave. Cowardice? because that is not like that? because I can not deal with it? or because I do not want to face?
In a fit of nostalgia, fear (a little ' ), a change of mind about what I let on what I will miss the realization that here, for four months (not four days), I is not coming here, I can not deal with them. But a bit 'of melancholy I already biting the stomach.
And I'm only four months. Four months is not a lifetime. And I seem to go forever. I know I'll be back already, with nothing resolved, with everything to do ... Bodrum is this, if not a long period of non-thought? I hope that at least serve me to mature and to act more mature. To help me manage and cope.
is now part really (I'm lazy, I do not think being able to store a few posts scheduled to be published, except perhaps something for the first year of my blog ) with a greeting a little 'bitter, knowing I leave and hoping to meet up in October when I'll be back online. With something learned I hope, with something to give you something to tell. And always, as always, with something to learn ...
As a final pledge I leave this suggestion also of a cake suitable for Summer and the insistent evidence costume ... maybe late June, because now the sun has begun and with it the days at sea. And the proof costume already gave its findings, which were painful or unsatisfactory.
But more aspect (of course, forget that I can not actually wait ORA) will have less meaning that you propose to water my cake ... if not for its actual goodness. Yes, you heard right, I called "water pie". Originally its title was "cake without eggs" in a recipe Tuya76 Cookbook of the White , but "water pie" is the expression in the family seemed more appropriate.
E 'cake interesting because it does not use eggs or milk or butter: it has only the fat and oil as a liquid requires of sound, clear, fresh, healthy mineral water. And that makes it light, and extremely versatile.
More than a recipe, in fact, this is a base that can, indeed must, be customized at will ... I think that is really eaten so tasteless, or who does not deserve all the praise that I'm doing . And that's where the fun part, because the additions are very personal and at the mercy of the inventiveness staff: there is nothing that can not be tried with success, precisely because the cake tastes very strong and just waiting to be filled with the ideas of the people. Together with the base, I propose here the three versions I've done: the classic one, which has always offered (ie, since the recipe was discovered) in the house, with apple and almond version marbled with coffee, a version with dried apricots and Chocolate, series we use what little there is in-house .
Excellent all three, although my preference goes to the one with the apples.




It's strange to go without pain,
without a vote of women from having to remember.
But it was different on your dying
want to give in love that outputs to April.
What's different in your dying.

Con una preparazione brevissima e un procedimento ancor più banale, vi ritrovate così ad avere una versatile, ma vuota, torta all'acqua .

Once poured the batter into cake pan sprinkle the surface of the cake emerges with a little 'of almond paste large pieces and sugar.
Bake for the usual 30-35 minutes at 180 ° C but premunitevi to do the toothpick test to the fact that the apples release water and may need to bake the cake a bit 'more .







Version marbled with coffee

 

Ingredienti :


per l'impasto bianco


  • 125 g di farina 

  • 80 g di zucchero 

  • un cucchiaio di lievito

  • 125 ml di acqua 

  • 3 cucchiai di olio 









per l'impasto nero
  • 113 g flour 80 g sugar a tablespoon of yeast
  • 125 ml of coffee left to cool (a little over two cups)
  • 3 tablespoons oil

Procedure: Prepare the two bodies separately.
On the one hand, stir together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Then mixed with warm coffee spoons of oil. Then add the liquid ingredients to dry ones and mix thoroughly until all the dough omogeneo e non eccessivamente liquido. Versate nello stampo unto e cosparso di pangrattato.


In un’altra ciotola in cui avrete già pesato i 112 grammi di farina dell'impasto bianco, lo zucchero e aggiunto il lievito. Mescolate l'acqua e l'olio e unitelii a filo agli ingredienti asciutti, per poi versare il composto nello stampo sopra a quello “nero”.


Usando il manico di un mestolo di legno disegnate dei circoli nel composto, perchè gli impasti bianco e nero si mescolino per dare l’effetto marmorizzato.


Se piace spolverizzate la superficie del dolce con poco zucchero di canna e infornate in forno preriscaldato a 180° C per i soliti 30-35 minuti (vale la prova stecchino)


Lasciate raffreddare e sfornate.















Versione con albicocche secche e cioccolato fondente




Nata un pomeriggio che volevo approntare uno sfizietto e non avevo niente in casa se non un po' di cioccolato fondente (che non manca quasi mai) e delle albicocche secche; ho voluto sperimentare ed è stato un successo niente male )



Ingredienti da aggiungere a quelli della base


  • qualche manciata di albicocche secche

  • 100 g di cioccolato fondente

  • zucchero di canna per spolverizzare la torta





Procedimento: Mescolare da una parte gli ingredienti asxciutti e dall'altra quelli liquidi. Agli ingredienti asciutti aggiungere anche il cioccolato tagliato a pezzettini  (se piace, perché no, addirittura spolverizzato... viene un'altra cosa rispetto a quella che ho fatto io ma è indubbiamente ugualmente buona  ). Aggiungete a filo gli ingredienti liquidi e poi le albicocche tagliuzzate in pezzi della grandezza desiderata.


Versate nello stampo unto e coperto di pangrattato e spolverizzare con lo zucchero di canna. Infornate in forno a 180°C per i soliti 30/35 minuti (sempre prova stecchino).











E così, adesso, come ultima ricetta in realtà ve ne ho date tre  . Adesso è davvero tardi, è il caso che me ne vada a letto se domani voglio essere pronta e prestante per il viaggio. Una buona notte e un abbraccio a tutti quelli che mi leggeranno... e chissà magari mi ricorderanno anche mentre there are
