Biscuits in the summer - piškoti poleti

I made these delicious walnut biscuits with marmalade filling on top as a treat for a short weekend trip with my family.


SestavineIngredience
600g moke600g plain flour
250g mletih orehov250 g of grounded walnuts
2 jajci2 eggs
2 rumenjaka2 egg yolks
200g sladkorja200g sugar
400g masla400g butter
4 čž vanilijevega sladkorja4ts vanilla sugar
marmeladajam

Some suggest blackcurrant jam, but my favorite for this is mixed jam or perhaps  strawberry or plum jam. It has to be solid. I used about 4 table spoons of jam, but I made big holes to fill it in.

For this step I use my machine to whisk it together.
In a large bowl I put in the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar and I whisked it together to a "foamy" consistent or mix until it is well mixed and soft. 


Add the eggs and the egg yolks and mix well again.

Add the flour and mix lightly with a spatula then add the grounded walnuts. I didn't need the spatula for long, because the dough was starting to come together. At the end I used my hands to combine it well and make a ball from a nice soft dough. 



It had to rest for two hours in the refrigerator.


When the time passed I took out only a part of the dough. The rest was still cooling in the refrigerator.
I first rolled it out to a "snake" and cut it into - what I tried to be - even pieces.


From each piece I made a ball, put in on a tray - that was lined with baking paper and took my wooden spoon and made a small hole in the middle. Then I carefully put the marmelade in the hole. When the tray was ready I baked it at 190°C for 14min.




After 13min I took one out and because it was golden-brown on the bottom side I knew they were done.

From the owen I put them carefully on a cooling rack to cool and sprinkle it with some icing sugar.


Now I have to put them somewhere save so no one will eat them until the weekend.

And I heard from the other room "Good luck with that".

Gozd

Pa smo odšli na krajšo turo.

Pot smo začeli v kraju Golnik, kjer smo se podali po gozdni poti v Gozd. Čeprav se temu po domače reče, da gremo v "Gojzd".
Na poti nismo srečali nikogar. Mogoče je bilo krivo vreme, saj je en dan pred tem deževalo in je bilo jutro še malo turobno ali pa smo bili prezgodni, saj smo iz Golnika štartali malo pred sedmo uro zjutraj.
Seveda smo šli tudi na "Skalco", kjer smo preverili, če naš avto še čaka tam spodaj na parkirišču.
Za nami je bilo že več kot polovica poti tako, da smo bili kmalu v Gojzdu.
 Po čaju v koči in prelepem sončku smo se vrnili v oblačne nižine.

Jutro izkoriščeno maksimalno. Nedelja se lahko začne.

Peyote

Peyote stich.

Ker je nekdo bil tako navdušen nad mojo "Believe" zapestnico in si je želel svojo "MANC" sem malo spet nizala perlice.

Peyote stitch je po mojem mnenju eden od osnovnih  elementov pri ustvarjanju z beadsi.

Pri sodem zgoraj dodaš en bead, spodaj spustiš en bead in z iglo v naslenjega. In to se ponavlja. Ena slikica kako se dela.



Zapestnica ima nasnutih 14 beadsov in je v kombinaciji črne in zlate barve, da pride napis do izraza.

Zeleno in višje

Tokrat pa smo odšli na planino Korošica, ki se nahaja na jugozahodnih pobočjih 1968 m visoke Košutice.

Pot vodi cik-cak po pobočju in je lepo označena.




Na srpetinah se na določenih mestih odpre prelep razgled.



Zadnja četrtina poti vodi po ravnini, planini, kjer se pasejo konji in krave.




Po dobri 1h in 30 min počasne hoje smo prišli do koče, ki se nahaja na planini na višini 1544 m, kjer smo se okrepčali.


Še malo smo se nastavili sončnim žarkom in se vrnili v dolino.
