elf on the shelf

Stedry den je, jak se rika, za dvermi a ja se snazim na posledni chvili dodelat vsechny resty. Dnes jsem jeste behala cely den po obchodech ale dycha se mi snadneji, ted potrebuji opravdu jen par malickosti a to uz zmuzu  hrave, pravda!   Dcera chtela pro maleho vanocniho skritka a tak jsem se pustila do siti. Ma ruce i nohy vyplnene dratky, takze je vic pohyblivy. Kdyz uz jsem v tom byla, tak jsem spichla jednoho vetsiho (vrchni fotka) take pro sebe, ty z minuleho roku putovaly do novych domovu.

I am trying to finish my shopping list. I feel much better today after a day in town. Mission accomplished, now I need just few miner things and I am done!  My daughter asked me to make  "elf on the shelf " for Mak (below) so I took out my sewing machine and while I was on it i made one (top picture) for myself as well.

Z pecenim jsem zacala teprve tento tyden, nektere je uz naplnene a nazdonene, na jine se snad dostane v pristich dnech. Nelamu to prez koleno, vanoce jsou prece svatky pohody a klidu.....,no nevim, pohody urcite ale toho klidu je vetsinou po skrovnu. Vetsinou si oddechnu az kdyz se posadim ke stedrovecerni veceri :))  Takhle jsem dopadla pri peceni cukrovi, pri spatnem odhadu rychlosti :)))

I didn't start baking till this week, but some of the cookies are now filed and done and I hope to finished the rest in the next couple of days. Flour attack - baking can be dangerous :)))

Kdyz uz, tak uz, pustila jsem se jeste do chleba.  Normalne si testo delam v pekarne a pak ho jen upecu v troube ale tentokrat jsem  udelala klasicky bochnik jen z prirodnoho  kvasku bez drozdi. Dvou denni proces, ktery ale stoji za to!

I also made this wild yeast bread. The whole process took two days, but it was well worth it!

 Tyhle fotky jsou uz nejmene dva tydny stare, ke kolovratku se ted nedostanu ale uz se tesim, ze si to po svatcich vynahradim.

These photos are at least two weeks old. I have no time to spin now, but cant wait to start again after the holidays. 

 Hackovane backory, ktere jsem po dokonceni  zfilcovala v pracce.

 I finished my crochet felted slippers.

V minulem prispevku jsem vam predstavila pekarnu na mini dortiky. Moc se tesim, jak ji vyzkousim ale..... Dominik  se do peceni vcera pustil z jeho kamaradkou a i  Michaela ( starsiho brachu) to zaujalo. Musim rict, ze se jim moc povedly,  krasne se pekly a zdobeni byla take zabava.   Na me zbylo udelat veceri a doufat, ze  nadseni z teto "novoty"  pomine a  priste to uz doopravdy zkusim ja :)

 I introduced my new baby cakes maker in my last post. I can't wait to try it out but.......yesterday,  my son Dominik and his girlfriend wanted to bake these little treats  themselves, while I was making dinner. Even his older brother was intrigued.  I have to say, they turn out pretty good and  they are pretty easy to make too.  Hopefully I'll make them next time all by myself, when the interest in this novelty will die down  :)

Alex, Dominik a Michael

Co myslite, povedli se?  Ja myslim, ze ano.

What do you think, did they turn out ok?  I think they did.

 Vcera po obede dcera privezla Makeefa,  potrebovala si neco zaridit  a ja si snim uzila hezke odpoledne. Vubec nam nevadilo, ze venku prsi, pekne jsme si hrali doma.  Na fotkach  svaci a vyvadi hlouposti a "babi" mu to dovoli, protoze od toho je babicka, ze ? :)))

Yesterday after lunch, my daughter brought over Makeef, because she had some stuff to take care of. Even thought it was raining, we had a great afternoon, playing indoors. He is having his snack in  these photos, being silly and  why  does "babi' let him do that, because that's what grandma is for, right ? :)))

Mozna, ze se nektere z vas hodi popis na tuhle jarni, hackovanou decku. Ja bych se do ni hned pustila, jen nevim, zda budu  mit jeste cas,  ji do velikonoc dokoncit. Premyslim, ze jeden zajic by jako decka  mozna uplne stacil. 

I hope, that some of you may use this crochet diagram for the spring, table runner. I would like to make it,  but I am not sure,  if I would be able to finish it in time for Easter. Maybe I'll make just a "doily" with one rabbit :))

No kneed bread

No kneed bread  je chleb, ktery se nemusi pracne zadelavat. Staci jen promichat ingredience, pockat 12 hodin, udelat bochnicek a dat pect.  Uz jsem vas dostatecne navnadila jednoduchosti receptu ? .......tak tady je a  take video pro lepsi predstavu jak na to :

3 hrnky mouky ( ja pouzivam hladkou ale jiste muze byt i polohruba, 1 hrnek 250 ml )
1/4 lzicky instantniho drozdi
1 lzicka soli
promichame a pridame
1 1/2 hrnku vody, vse se rychle promicha jak je videt na videu a da na 12 az 18 hodin odpocinout.

Predehrejeme si troubu a litinovy hrnec na 112 C . Muzeme pouzit i sklenenou nadobu ale dulezite je mit nadobu poradne vyhratou i s poklickou. Chleba se  pece 30 minut priklopeny, pak se poklicka sunda a jeste 15 az 20 minut dopekame v otevrene nadobe.

Myslite si , ze tenhle, na pripravu jednoduchy recept vyzkousite ?

 

Have you ever heard about " No Knead Bread "?  Mark Bittman published the recipe in the NY Times last year. The original recipe came from  Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery. You can  watch Jim make his bread in this video. Do you think you will give it a try ? I am definitely hooked and even though I use my bread maker machine all the time to make my dough I can't wait to try this recipe..........
