Mince Pies with orange marmalade, carrot and cardamom
Another week, another migraine attack. : - /
This time, fortunately, is lighter, but it's annoying enough to stop me from thinking clearly and that I desire the arrival of summer.
always summer is the time when I'm better than ever and already starting to regret the initial chill, which are all too soon for a Sicilian transplanted to the north.
I still remember the trauma, psychological thermal even before that I suffered a few years ago, returning from Greece in mid-September in Athens it was sunny and a wonderful warmth (38 ° C with dry air, was really well), while landing I waited for the rain in Milan and 15 ° C and from that day the temperature continued to decline inexorably. That abrupt transition from summer to winter was a real blow for me, I had to proceed in haste to the change of season, but then and there I will not be fully into account, I understood it abruptly in March the following year, a Saturday morning, putting in place of freshly ironed shirts. I looked in the closet and I realized that a number of summer clothes were still there, ready to be worn, as if the change of season I had hoped to put them yet. It was then that I realized what I had not accepted the arrival of winter that year, and smiled to myself thinking that shortly thereafter was that the spring and summer was approaching.
Since then, every year I make a lot of attention when I put the clothes in the summer, and above all try to put myself in a state of mind to accept the winter as part of life, when the cold I'm sure that triggers the migraine crisis, the desire to emigrate to Florida is felt more alive than ever ...
But we move on to today's recipe: jam tarts are trivial, but perhaps because I thought I attributed them to Florida as English Mince Pies. I've stuffed with the marmalade of carrots, oranges and cardamom flavor and color as the hot summer, and I consoled by munching a cold thinking about that summer is coming.
MINCE PIES WITH CARROT MARMALADE, ORANGE AND CARDAMOM

125 g butter 80 g

Prepare the pastry: making a fountain with the flour and salt, put the cold butter cut into cubes and rub it between your fingers to soak the flour and create crumbs. Add the sugar and the grated rind of lemon, make a hole in the center and pour in the egg slightly beaten.
Mix quickly with your fingertips and as soon as the dough is piled into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the fridge to rest for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 3 mm and using a cutter to cut discs with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the mold for tarts. Place the disks in the molds by gently pressing the center to get in shape and put into each tartlet 1 heaped teaspoon of jam.

Do Invisible Nose Studs Work
bad game ... sometimes a disaster!?
Niu Lizard Ghedi - Violin 0-3
First day of second round and a home-Niu that challenges the Lizard bogey Violin than that leg comes in full force and with some graft in the female group. Start
difficult race for the premises, now in difficulty in receiving, the service on the jump, as the service float: it is not a single problem which easily remedied with proper coverage, but the errors that affect even those who usually is much safer.
Often it is not ace, rather ace dirty : playable result a few balls to the shortstop and our choice for the attack that it loses effectiveness and unpredictability.
The Violin, by its par, fielding his usual determination, shows a good neoacquisto to dribble, accuracy and application in defense and reconstruction phase, in addition to the usual impetuosity in attack. A first set of
troubles, run-up, always seeking the remedy, the solution to try to chase the remaining hopes of hooking on time and inexorably lost by sharing of merits and demerits of our opponents. 0-1
second half of the race again in the name of the commutative property: changing field and interpreters, but alas, the product does not change by reversing the order of the factors ... inertia of the match unchanged. The difficulties are the same, although no resounding "Filotto" of points lost, errors that are repeated systematically and, in addition to not facilitate the ability of some to express a minimum of play, carry a certain amount of unavoidable nervousness mixed with despair. 0-2
Guests who do not soften and have, indeed, the merit of never losing the compass and maintaining high voltage and healthy competitive nastiness. Beginning of the third set with a humiliating 2-8; a surge of pride us back on track temporarily to 12-12 and balance that lasts up to 17-18 when the guests proceed to sea on to close with 20-25. 0-3
deserved defeat for a game unexpectedly with a one-way Niu Lizard , after wandering the latest performance and pulsing, complicated things and can no longer find the key to the problem. also regrettable and especially for the few supporters and friends present: if there may well be a defeat (also 3-0) is not the way it is to be gained "burning".
outcrop some questions, but we are certainly not a mediocre team in the field of view: one of our strengths is a unified group and enviable, and it is easy to remain united in victory, the real test bench are the bad beats like that just passed ... let's start from an axiom by unarmed simplicity reception impossible without trying to play! The last
performance was comparable to the first round to PalaSMV , but then there were many extenuating circumstances, all onset absolute, and numerous innovations in the field with the objective difficulty to automatically find and positions. Whether it's a curse of the first race? Well ...
The Violin "has them play" but paid for this duty, we hope to start the next call for the test of appeal: home next Thursday to challenge another disappointment of the first round, 's SMV back from a 0-3 to the unbeaten league leaders mindful ... the outcome of the first leg of the imperative is to reset, not to mention, but shaking off uncertainty and negative feelings to better face a race that promises to be exciting and certainly challenging.
