Quote of the Day:

We believe no more in Bonaparte’s fighting merely for the liberties of the seas than in Great Britain’s fighting for the liberties of mankind. The object is the same, to draw to themselves the power, the wealth and the resources of other nations

  1. KATYA: Pork fat covered in chocolate
    SALVE!
    It is not so unusual to eat the chocolate on pasta, meat, fish or fruit…
    Never lose the chance to eat the chocolate because it is GOOD and produce good
    mood! Exist many recipes, this is an italian dish:
    TAGLIATELLE AL CACAO (4 persons)
    – Dust of bitter cacao: 20 gr
    – Meal: 300 gr
    – Eggs 3
    – Salt
    For the flavouring: Butter, grated Grana.
    To put the meal on the baking-board, break in the center the eggs and add salt
    and cacao. To knead and amalgamate very well, after work with more energy
    to obtain a homogenous and smooth dough. Give to this dough a form of a ball and
    leave it to rest into a tureen covered with a napkin. After 30 minutes: to divide the dough
    into the halves to level by roller to create 2 thin foils. Refold many time every foils and
    cut the Tagliatelle of the bigness that you want. Open the Tagliatelle by the hands and
    leave them to dry. To boil the Tagliatelle (underdone) drain them (no too much) and
    flavour them when they are very very hot with the melted butter and grated Grana
    turning them by 2 forks.
    …I hope that my traslation makes eatable this good dish 😉
    Anyway HUGS and BUON APPETITO!
    Katya
