Patches of colors

Just popping in to say hi. I've been on the loose lately, haven't I? Sorry about that!

I hope you're having a good weekend and will try to come back to regular blogging soon.

Toy and candy machines

That kind of summer day, filled with laziness and guilty pleasures. Tomorrow I'm heading to the beach, looking forward to: fresh coconut, shakerato coffee, sand between my toes, sticky sunscreen cream, comic books, ice cream... and a little tan, why not!

Ingredients of a good weekend, with recipes

Top, ingredients to make cheese & mint brownies; bottom, to prepare salmon panna cotta. I told you I would have shared the recipes and here I am, but must admit... something went wrong with the cake. And it's totally me, not the recipe! In fact, check the original source, doesn't it look delicious and great?! Mine was pretty... but tasted funny, how embarrassing is that? While the panna cotta was a hit, idiot-proof, apparently! ;)

Anyway, salmon panna cotta, serves 6-8:

3 gelatine leaves

340 g salmon

1 bunch of chive

600 ml sour cream

salt and pepper

Soften the gelatine leaves in cold water. In the meantime, mince the salmon and the chive. Pour the sour cream in a pot, add salmon, half of the chive. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from stove and add the gelatine, stirring till the gelatin melts. Divide the mix into 6-8 glasses and let cool in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Before serving, garnish with chive and small pieces of salmon.
