trying to cook bagels...

what a mess!!!! I was trying to cook some bagels and this is the result!! I had a recipe taken from a magazine, but halfway through it I realised it wasn't going to work, so I checked the Internet, found another recipe and went on cooking with it! So I kind of knew it was going to be a mess, but I wanted to try anyway!
They do look awful, but don't taste that bad, really... Luca is actually eating them... But still!

My plan was to practice today, and cook them on Xmas day, to eat them at breakfast with scrumble eggs and smoked salmon... and of course, bagels DO NOT EXIST in Italy, so either I find another recipe or I better forget it! My auntie Danila just gave me an American one on the phone, we'll see if I feel like trying again during the week!


Queste schifezze sono bagels! O meglio dovrebbero esserlo, ma non ci assomigliano lontanamente!! Dovrebbero essere ciambelle di pane leggermente dolce, che si usa farcire in UK e negli USA, con ripieni sia salati, sia dolci. L'idea era di fare una prova per poi cucinarle a Natale, per far colazione con uova strapazzate e salmone, visto che ai miei familiari piacciono molto! Purtroppo però, visto il risultato... Mia zia Danila mi ha appena dato un'altra ricetta al telefono, da un libro di ricette, credo inglese (o americano?), vediamo se ho voglia di riprovare in settimana!!!

Book of the day: Chapatti or Chips? by M. Minhas: very funny!!!!
Libro del giorno: mai tradotto in italiano...

why do I bother?

why do I bother??? Is there anyone actually reading this blog???? (apart from Noriko...). Please, let me know!!!!
In the meantime, no good news I'm afraid. I just had a phone call from the airport and due to problems in Alitalia (who else?!??!) we won't be hired before next month. This is driving me crazy... I want to work!!!!! I'm going to the shopping center in the afternoon and see if I can find something to do for the Xmas season. It might be just a month, but better than nothing. More CVs to print out... I hoped I was over with that...
oh oh! I also have a wonderful news! My cousin Barbara gave birth 2 days ago to a sweet baby girl and named her Margherita (Daisy). Another woman in the family! YES! Girlpower! can't wait to see her photos! Unfortunately (for us, not for them) Barbara and Massimo live in Sardinia and I don't know when I'll finally be able to see them in person.

Book of the day: Life isn't all ha ha hee hee, by M. Syal. It makes me feel I'm still in London...
