Pain When Sleeping On Left Side

What a lovely evening!

Last night our friends came to dinner.
E 'was an evening so nice and intimate.
It 'been a pleasure to slowly and quietly prepare for them, while outside the wind continued to blow hard and then to rain and sea swells and his roar was heard even with the windows closed.
A centerpiece improvised, that one of the flowers, rain, had mounted his feast in the morning.
So I went down in the beach below, with many droplets that swirled around me and the crazy hair and took the sand, shells and some succulent plant from the planter class apartment buildings.
I prepared my chicken dumplings with apple and bacon , experiencing a comfortable version with a string for the kitchen, instead of toothpicks.
I turned on the oven for the sausage with potatoes, and clean the glasses of wine ready to be placed on table.


I skewered fruit, cold meats, cheese and cherry.
And while all around it spread a delicious smell came with the Ice Man made bread, freshly baked by the arm and the bulk wine in the other hand.
And shortly after the bell has sounded again and they were ...

fruit kebabs, HAM, CHEESE AND CHERRY

Ingredients (for 5 persons, about 40 skewers):

- 300 gr . of Parma ham, sliced \u200b\u200bthin

Cody Chaet Randy Blue

OUR BELIEFS Sunday

afternoon.
car, slowly, with the hot air and the windscreen wipers on, to "sniff" the sea, between the pools formed by rain the night.
And yet water that falls from the sky and wet fields, prepare for the upcoming Spring. The new Scirocco
inflated waves.
The gulls flying low.
The crosses clinking of the boats, and I also lull.
I have a full stomach, having eaten (as always great!) In-Law by Gentile.
A look islet topped by a beautiful violet sky, and the little hazy from the cold dampness, where Ice Man went to check the tops of barchettta.

We have a comfortable couch, a cup of steaming tea and thoughts that run today's lazy and quiet.

Jardine Dresser 0702c00

DESERVE FUN ...

Saturday afternoon already anticipate my weekend of rest, relaxation and laziness.
The day was perfect weather and a thin, hungry and began to climb teasing.
While chatting with one of my favorite massage therapist, and listing the asparagus among my forbidden foods, I kept thinking, but I want them!
Because nothing attracts more of the forbidden.
true.
that lately, except asparagus that I never particularly appreciated, also came the m'รจ fixed for quite chili oil, whole and entire, just as those who then leave you breathless for three days following.
In short, the more I thought the asparagus, and came as an SMS Ice Man to whom I had asked him what he wanted for dinner ("A beautiful platter of pasta!"), And more are outlined in my mind, this delightful first course, perfect during a cold, clear waters and stellatissima evening of February:

Facial Swelling Wisdom Teeth

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
I am for those who celebrate.
Why is that your true love should be celebrated every day as well as his Mom, Dad, as it should be all the more good not only at Christmas and so on. etc.. etc.. But the end is not so, there's always this constant nagging that we run all the daily distractions and more diverse, so there is never time to stop and tell people we love how much we care for them.
So, I think, one day as the Feast of Love (or as I say, people who love to include a much broader range of people within this celebration) can be transformed into another for an occasion like this, and I do not see anything wrong.
Not to mention that I like to always have a reason to party, to prepare something good to wrap a parcel.

In this regard, there is already baked in a sweet treat for my beloved Ice Man.
One of the many ways to demonstrate what I take to him, how nice for me to see him happy and satisfied while also bites into something they like.
And what is funny to realize that his approach to desserts is substantially changed with my entrance into his life.
In fact, during the long night of talks early time, when we told each other, contemplating the same moon from two different parts of the Earth, he was abroad on a mission and not even the two of us we were "neither meat nor fish," he said one evening:
- " You know, I do not like sweets much, much less those with lots of sugar ..."
And I also said, throwing in a small and momentary state of frustration:
- "In general I I eat a few things, very simply prepared, boiled or roasted, and almost without condiments .
I thought that this man had many advantages but one that was lost most wonderful of life.
Luckily, we both were wrong and now I cook for him with the same pleasure with which he eats the things that prepare you with all my love.

This recipe I got it in the fall, during the period
empty, listless as I watched the channel 410 of Sky: there were The Lord Extralarge , which I love , which is engaged with this Greek sweet made with ricotta cheese.
At that moment I longed to cook this cake for him, he who is crazy about anything knows ricotta, fresh or salt that is.
and desperate that it could seriously never happen again.
But I noted the same recipe, undecided whether to throw a desperate cry or give in to the impulse in the heart of the flickering that sometimes gives hope.

I will never stop thanking God to be found stronger and more united than before ...

THE GREEK CHEESE AND HONEY CAKE

Ingredients:
- a disc of puff pastry (I use to Adriano for me unique!)
- 500 gr. ricotta;
- 3 tablespoons honey;
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon;
- 3 whole eggs;
- juice ½ lemon
- 100 gr. of blanched almonds;
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
Roll out the pastry and line a tart mold, making sure to create high-sided.
poach for about ten minutes at 180 ° C.
At the same time take the opportunity to toast the almonds, which are so good, putting them on the same baking tray, next to the pan.

Meanwhile work ricotta with honey, cinnamon and eggs.
Finally add the lemon juice.

Chop the almonds, mix with 1 tablespoon sugar and sprinkle on bottom of crust.
Now pour the mixture of ricotta and honey and bake again for about 40 minutes, again at 180 ° C. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

With this recipe I participate in the contest
