Rdečebelo in belordeče Redwhite and whitered

Konec šolskega leta, ijeee! :) Izdelano po moji predlogi.

The end of the school year, yaaay! :) Designed by me.

Del briških češenj, ki jih je posebej za naju z Mirom prinesel dedek.

A part of famous cherries from Brda that my grandpa brought especially for Miro and me.

Kruhki se sončijo Little breads sunbathing

Takele kruhke sva prejšnji teden naredila z Mirom. Po tem receptu. Če odmislimo zamudno namakanje in sušenje (ker sušilnika - še - nimava, mamin pa dimenzijsko ni primeren, sva uporabila pečico in proti koncu kar ljubo sonce), je izdelava precej enostavna.

Iz opisanega recepta prideta 2 pladnja oziroma 40 malih zelo okusnih kvadratkov, ki na hladnem zdržijo ves teden. Menda. Slednjega namreč nisva uspela preveriti. :)

Last week Miro and I made these little raw square breads made of buckwheat, flaxseeds, zucchinis, carrots and onion, using this recipe (in Slovenian only), many hours of soaking (buckwheat overnight) and drying (we did not use only an oven but at the end also dear sun).

They were so easy to make, very delicious and they last for a whole week if you store them in cool and dry place. Supposedly. We’ve never had a chance to test this. :)

Namesto kaktusa Instead of the cactus

[na zadnjem posnetku / in the last picture: KAKI]

Zadnjič sem se odpravila k dedku, da bi posnela kaktus, ki da menda lepo cveti,
vsaj tako se mi je hvalil in mi prigovarjal, naj vendar že pridem s fotoaparatom.
 
Kaktusa nisem našla, dedka ni bilo doma, ampak moj objektiv vseeno ni ostal lačen.

My grandpa, praising one of his wonderfully blooming cactuses,
had been persuading me to come with my camera already, so I went there the other day.
 
I did not find it and grandpa was not at home, but even so my camera did not stay hungry.

Tri rdeče Three reds

Mmm, mami je naredila tele presne kroglice iz fig, datljev, kokosovega masla, kakava,
limonine lupine, cimeta, kajenskega popra, sezama, čia semen in konopljine moke.

Mmm, my mum made these raw balls of figs, dates, coconut butter, cocoa,
lemon zest, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, sesame, chia seeds and hemp flour.

Dobro jutro, Ljubljana Good morning, Ljubljana

Ljubljanska tržnica me bolj prevzame in mi s svojo ponudbo
povzroča več skušnjav kot katerakoli trgovina s cunjicami, zares!

A visit of the Central Ljubljana farmer’s market on a Saturday morning,
even when it is still wrapped in fog,
is the most amazing experience one can get in the capital.
Its offer is causing me far more temptations than any clothes store, really!

Tičice Chicks

Miro pravi, da mi bo kupil en dežnik srebrne barve, tak fotografski, ker sem spet, tokrat na deževno zabeljenem odprtju vsakoletne razstave keramičnih izdelkov študentov Tretje univerze, jamrala, da mi vse posnetke potegne na oranžno. A jaz svojega očitno presočnega dežnika ne dam! :)
 
[Razstava bo na ogled še 14 dni, vsak dan od 16. do 19. ure, na Kocjanovi 7 v Ljubljani.]

Miro says he is going to buy me a silver coloured umbrella, such real photographic one, because, as so many times before, I did cry over the orange glow in the pictures I took at rainy opening of the annual exhibition of third age society students. But I don't want to give my obviously too juicy umbrella away! :)

Šesti šesti Sixth of sixth

Koleščki bučk, pokapljani s polivko limone, oljčnega olja in popra, ter potreseni s popraženimi pinjolami.

Zucchini slices dripped with sauce made of lemon, olive oil and pepper; sprinkled with roasted pine nuts.

Slastne pokrajine Delicious landscapes

Šla sem na slasten sprehod skozi dišečo pokrajino
in imela kasneje slastno dišečo pokrajino na svojem krožniku.
[bezgovi cvetovi; tokrat kot del palačink]

I went on a delicious walk through aromatic landscape
and later had a deliciously aromatic landscape on my plate.
[elderflowers; this time as a part of pancakes]

Kupa zdravja A cup of health

Mirova zadnja obsesija je očitno graviranje :)
in najnovejši izdelek kupa zdravja za njegovo mami,
ki sva jo dopolnila s sestavinami za zdravilne napitke.

Miro’s latest obsession is engraving obviously :)
and his last product is a cup of health (as the writing says) for his mum.
We added a bunch of ingredients for healthy drinks.

Črni kuharski humor A black cooking-humour

Pripravila sva, Miro, glavni kuhar, in jaz, ubogljiv pomočniček, domače testenine, tokrat žepke polnjene s prekajenim lososom, iz preostanka testa pa še nekaj rezancev za juho.

We, Miro the chef and I obedient little helper, prepared home made pasta, this time ravioli filled with smoked salmon and from the rest of the dough we made noodles for soup.

Potem sva v skoraj edinem koščku dneva, koščku, ki ne samo, da ni bil sončen, ampak je celo grozil z dežjem, odšla na sprehod, kjer sva se, ko sva hodila mimo cvetočih bezgov, domislila, da na hitro priskrbiva še material za sladico. Hm, vrečke za Zojine kakce pridejo takimle neopremljenim nabiralcem še kako prav, heh, in sva utrgala eno z rolice in jo žrtvovala za cvetove.

Then, in the only piece of the day that not only it wasn’t sunny but was also on the edge of raining, we went on a walk. We passed a lot of elder trees so we got an idea what to have for dessert. (Fried elderflowers, flowers dipped in pancake dough and then fried, is a common and very popular dish in my country at this time of year. It reminds me of childhood so much.) But because we were completely unequipped pickers we used one of Zoja’s poop-bags roll instead, to bring some flowers home. One has to be creative in a situation like that, heh.

No, ko sva prigodo povedala zbranim ob sladici in zraven zlobno dodala, da je bila vrečka rabljena, heh, se niso pustili zmesti in odvrnili, da je bilo verjetno zato tako okusno. :) A se to sploh spodobi na blog pisati? Ma, malo črnega kuharskega humorja ne škodi. :)

After we had told this story to people gathered to eat the dessert and mischievously added that it was an used bag, heh, they didn't get confused and just replied that this is probably the reason the dessert was so good. Is this even appropriate to share with you on the blog? Well, what harm can a little black cooking-humour do? :)
