Good afternoon! Let's come back to old habits, welcome to our weekly date with my kitchen, with a little bit of craft. How the same, I'm joining Heather's blog hop.
Grazie a Lella, ho preparato questi deliziosi zucchini per l'inverno, mio marito li ha trovati ottimi e sono un'ottimo modo per smaltire le ingenti scorte che l'estate porta di questa verdura un po' monotona. Trovate la ricetta qui.
Thanks to Lella, I made these delicious courgettes for winter, my husband loved them and they are perfect to get over with the large amount of this vegetable that summer brings.
For my english speaking friends, here the recipe:
1 kg courgettes, cubed
2 cups olive oil
1 cup white wine
2 cups wine white vinegar
2 onionion, thiny sliced
12 sage leaves
1 rosemary spring
2 whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoon sugar
salt to taste
Oregano if you like it
Bring to boil oil, vinegar, wine, salt, sugar and herbs. When boiling, add onions and courgettes and let them cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the fire and let them cool in the pan, covered.
Put in clean jars to store for winter or in a box in the fridge to eat quickly ^_^. Enjoy it!!

Purtroppo, abbiamo anche il fondato sospetto che l'artigiano a cui abbiamo commissionato le persiane, mesi e mesi fa, ci stia fregando, perché ha intascato un sostanzioso acconto ed è sparito. La cosa ci amareggia molto, sia dal punto di vista morale che da quello vilmente economico. Speriamo di avere la nostra merce o riavere i soldi... purtroppo c'è moltissima disonestà a questo mondo!!!
We are back to our usual life after holidays, with this strange summer and its weather so moody. Daddy is back to the journal and Tommaso and me are at home with our dogs, cats and plants, spending our time in a lot of nice ways.
Unfortunately, we also have the grounded suspicion that the artisan to whom we ordered our shutters is cheating us, because he pocketed a large advance and the he desappeared. We hope to have our shutters or our money, but this is so depressing, both ethically and economically... there is so much deceitfulness in this world!
Incrociate le dita per noi... un abbraccio!
Finger crossed for us... a big hug!
