🇮🇹 La mia cucina profuma di mandorle e agrumi dopo aver sfornato questi meravigliosi dolcetti! Si chiamano paste di mandorla e sono una variante dei "ricci" di mandorle, quei biscotti che al centro hanno una ciliegia candita. In Sicilia vengono preparati durante tutto l'anno e possono essere conservati (a temperatura ambiente) all'interno di una scatola di latta per svariati giorni, senza che perdano il loro meraviglioso aroma.
🇬🇧 My kitchen smells of almonds and citrus fruits after baking these wonderful treats! They're called "paste di mandorla" In Sicily they're prepared during all year and they can be stored at room temperature in a tin box for several days without losing their wonderful flavor. 👇

WIP Harry Potter Anthology
Part III
Rounding and backing
Two volumes of the same book, bound and backed for a simple fine binding. I haven’t done those often so there will be a lot I’m not satisfied with, but I’ll never be if I don’t just start doing them.
The books are rather thin which make them difficult to round, but it still worked. Even with the rather hefty outs signature on one.
I marked the thickness of my cover boards both sides to have some guidance for putting them in the press. This step worked surprisingly well, I still squashed one of the outer signatures a bit
Both books were backed with Japanese tissue paper and paste glue so I could sand them when they are dry.

I was inspired by @therockywhorerpictureshow and since it’s (sadly) my birthday again I decided to bake something.
So, I made country honey apple galette tart by following this recipe.
The base didn’t turn out as it should’ve, it’s still eatable though and the apples are quite good 😋.
Well, I didn’t expect it to be perfect on the first try.

It is now once again time for our occasional series that I can’t find the other two episodes* of anymore: Cooking With Elfy!
Today we’re making cupcakes! We’re using this box mix because we don’t feel like making them from scratch and this particular mix is delicious anyway.
We start by mixing up the batter using the instructions on the box. Then we divide it as evenly as possible into the muffin pans we already lined this morning while waiting for our tea to steep.
Slide those into the oven one at a time and while they’re baking we’ll work on the frosting. We’re going to be making lemon buttercream frosting from that recipe we used when we ran out of store-bought frosting the last time we used this cake mix.
Since we’re planing to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, let’s try to make a double batch of frosting just to make sure we have enough. But we might not have enough sugar for that, so measure it out first.
Turns out we don’t have enough sugar to double the recipe, so let’s do 1.5 times instead. The next step is to zest and juice our lemon.
Our lemon made the exact amount of zest we needed, but didn’t yield enough juice. So we’ll make up the difference with store bought lemon juice.
Now we just follow the frosting recipe right up to the point where it talks about food coloring. We want to use three colors instead of one, so we divide the frosting as evenly as possible into three bowls.
Then we mix in the food coloring. Unfortunately it looks like we’re out of red, so we’ll have to use green instead.
Now we cover the frosting bowls and set them aside. Our cupcakes are out of the oven by now, but they need to cool. So for now we should clean up as much of our mess as possible and take a lunch break.
After our lunch break, we load the frosting into the special piping bags for that fancy tri-color swirl gadget we bought a couple years ago and have never been able to use.
It turns out that either our frosting is too thick or the triple bag arrangement is just too wide for our small hands to squeeze properly, so we have to give up on piping and spread the frosting with a knife. This means we made way too much frosting. Fuck.
But our red, green and blue cupcakes look cute anyway, so it’s fine. Now we bring out our secret ingredients.
Raspberries and blueberries! Let’s stick them on our cupcakes.
And we’re done!
*Pumpkin pecan bread and pasta salad. Good luck.
