After an eternity, I return with some pictures made in haste with the Cellu. Oh Mara, you will never change:) This post I titled "finer things in life" because it actually is (for me of course) a few moments of everyday life that make me happy.
Above, snow in Venice, Fondamenta de l'Osmarin (Rosemary, in Italian).
Snow island where I live. 
snow in my garden. 
A new roaster in Venice, "barbarism de le Tole". Il caffé é buonissimo, l' ambiente é estremamente rilassante e il Personale é gentile.
Qui sopra invece, torta pere e cioccolato, preparata dalla sottoscritta oggi pomeriggio. Devo dire, un risultato di tutto rispetto.
Velocemente la ricetta:
- 2 pere mature abate
- 200 gr di cioccolato fondente
- 80 gr. di burro
- 200 gr. di farina
- 80 gr. di zucchero
- 1 bicchiere scarso di latte
- 1 / 2 packet of baking powder
- 3 eggs
Chop the pears, place them in a saucepan and cook over low heat until mash.
Melt the butter in a double boiler, chocolate and finally add the milk.
Beat (I use the electric mixer) the 3 egg yolks with the sugar, add flour, baking powder, the compound dissolved in a water bath and the pureed pears. Beat three egg whites until stiff and add to the mix that will be enough liquid. Inform a hot oven 180 degrees for about 30 minutes (I use the fan oven function).
Allow to cool and then ... yum yum!
Buonanotte!
