This is a polish recipe from my mother in law. It is vey easy and quick. Try it. (I found the photo on the internet but it looks exactly like this)
You will need
250gr butter soft
2 glasses of flour
6tbs sugar
2 egg yolks
1 kgr apples
1/4 tsp baking powder
3tbs confectioner’s sugar
2tbs cinnamon
Grate the apples and add 4tbs of the sugar. Mix the butter with egg yolks and add the flour and the baking powder. It will be a soft dough but don’t worry because it will thicken later in the refrigerator when the butter cold. Wrap it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for an hour. Divide it in 1 1/2 and 1/2. Put each piece between two plastic wraps and roll them to the size of your pan. Butter and flour your pan. Put the big piece on the bottom of the pan making sure that the sides are covered with dough. Stir the apples and sprinkle them with the rest of the sugar. Put the other piece of the dough on top and seal well. Bake for almost an hour. Mix the confectioner’s sugar with the cinnamon and through a sieve sprinkle on top.

It is like spring here in Athens, the capital of Greece. The temperature is at 25 C and a warm sun shines above the city. Here are some photos of our garden.
This is the back yard. On the right is the garden table where we have our dinner with friends on weekends nights.

The first oranges of the winter

One of our two bedroom’s window
The tree on the left is an arocaria and it was planted the day my husbant was born. 54 years ago. Now it is 20 metres high.

Our lemon tree
Here on the left is the entrance of the house and this tall tree is a greek one that is called “Neratzia” and is something like orange tree but more bitter.

I know they don’t look great but they are OK. The taste is good and with a good picture I could even sell them. Ha ha I am joking. I know there are million things I have to learn and thousand hours of practice more, but after having thrown away more that 5 kilos of chocolate, I am proud that at least these don’t look bad. The truffles are with pistachios and kirch flavor and the others are sesame-caramel.

What do you do when:
you feel that some people don’t like you?
you realize that even if you don’t like them you do care about how they feel?
you know that you have all the rights of the world but you are unable to explain?
you are so sick of your job and you want to quit but you know that you can’t?
you realize that you have reached that moment in your life that you know what is important and what is not, and you don’t want to loose more time to do meaningless things?
you are sick of people who the only thing they do is criticizing others?
Today is one of those days…
