FIRST DAY OUT

Today i took the babies out. Until today i kept them inside, but the chickens are growing fast and the cages are getting smaller. And the ducks? They are really crowded into a small cage where i have to put food and water too. So, even if they are so young (the chicks will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and and ducks are only 3-4 days old), i took them on the backyard and let them free. Man, they enjoyed it!!!! They were running, they were flying, they were jumping, they were dust-bathing!!!! I took a thousand pictures (Anitaaaaaa, send the card-reader!!! Hahaha, i will call her to tell her to read my blog). Now they are back inside, in our room. Geeee, when i brought them in, they just fell like the soldiers on the war: dead. They were tired (as i am). After they took a nap they ate like they never did before. And they drink a lot of water too. But i see that they are not so noisy anymore. Still tired, i guess. I'll take them out every day from now on and i bring them in at night. I hope we'll move to the new house this week and i can let the chickens into a coop at night (make room for more babies, because the store brought something different, not what i ordered and i have only 10 meaties now and i need more).

DUCKS!!!!

I just bought, 2 days ago, the first batch of ducks, 33 of yellow marvels. I understood they are Pekin ducks. I'll post pictures as soon as i get a card reader from my daughter (Anitaaaaaaaaaaa, where's the card reader?).

BREADCRUMBS SAVARINA

These are some very easy to make (and very easy to eat) cakes. You don't need flour to make them, but breadcrumbs. So, there it is:

BREADCRUMBS SAVARINA
savarina:
5 eggs
6 full tablespoons sugar
6 full tablespoons breadcrumbs
a pinch of salt

syrup:
1 cup of water
200g sugar
rhum flavor

1 1/2 cup whipping cream
Beat eggs yolks, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add the breadcrumbs. Whip egg whites. Add 2 spoons of whipped egg whites in the yolks, stir until combined, add the rest of the egg whites and fold in gently. Grease muffin tins and dust them with flour, fill them up with dough. Bake the savarinas at 380-400F. In the mean time, make the syrup: boil the water with sugar and add the rhum flavor. When the savarinas are baked, take them out from the tins, put them for a short time in syrup and place them onto a plate. Make a cut horizontally, but not all the way, lift the upper side and fill the savarinas with whipped cream. For a nicer look, you can put some red jelly in top of each savarina. Enjoy!!

I'm BAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!

Hello, everybody!!!!!

I'm so glad to be back!!! I missed my blog, i missed you all and i missed reading your blogs too. My daughter came to visit for easter and she brought another computer to me. It is an older one, it doesn't have a card reader, but i hope i'll buy one soon, so i'll post pictures. Because i have pictures to post, you know? I have good news to share too. We just bought a house in the village, we are moving right now, we're very busy. And today i bought chickens!!! 60!!! OMG, i love them!!! They're so cute. I took pictures and i'll take more. I'll post them as soon as i get a card reader. I'll be back with recipes too. And with pictures from garden too. I won't plant all the seeds i bought tho, because the ex-owner planted already most of the land and i don't want to destroy her plants. So, i don't have too much land left for myself this year. No problem, i'll survive...
I'm very glad to be back at home!!!

Offline for two weeks

Hi, everyone,
My name is Ana - Jenny's daughter. My mom asked me to write to you that she has pc problems and that she will have it fixed in 2-3 weeks at most, hopefully. She says hi and can't wait to get back online.

I don't want to have this post empty so i will post a link of my own artworks for you ^_^
This is for full-size of the drawing - http://annyaonweb.deviantart.com/art/All-the-girls-want-188276091

MY SEEDS

These are the seeds that are waiting for spring as much as i do. I just hope to be able to plant at least a few this week. I'll let you know.

ZEBRA CHEC

This is a cake you can make when you don't have too many ingredients at hand, but still want something sweet. 

8 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup yoghurt
1ts vanilla
1ts baking powder
1/2cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cocoa
2 1/2 cups flour
Mix the flour with baking powder. Beat the eggs with sugar for about 5 minute. Add the yoghurt and vanilla stir wel with a spoon. Add 2 cups of flour in 2-3 additions. Split the batter: 1/3+2/3. In the 1/3 of batter add cocoa and mix well. In the 2/3 add coconut and the rest of the flour (1/2 cup). Line up a 9inch baking pan with parchment paper. In the middle of it pour 2 spoonful of white bater (the one with coconut). In top of it add one spoon of black batter (the one with cocoa). Continue like this until you finish both of them (pouring only one in top of each other). The batters will fall to the edges and fill up the battom of the pan eventually. Bake it at 370F until golden in top and the tester (i use a toothpick) inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
