Helena Out and About

I can’t believe that I have made this delicious pretty chocolate salami! Me, the only person that can rarely make any sweets. So I decide to save the recipe so I can do it again. Is very very easy! This chocolate salami is very popular in Portugal, and when I was a kind, it was mandatory presence in any children`s party, but that was before all this allergies and other things became popular. The traditional version doesn’t take nuts, figs or Port.   But I decided to use whatever I had at home to make soothing a bit more interesting. Next time I will try to use dates instead of figs just to test. As I don’t have a sweet tooth, this salami is not too sweet as is moist Recipe: ·          200g dark cooking chocolate ·          70g butter ( I used with salt as that was the only one I had) ·          100g of reach teas biscuits ·          30g brown sugar ·          30g chocolate powder ·          50g pine nuts (any other nut will be fine) ·          75 g

I t has been a stressful full day, but I have decided that I wouldn’t let it take over my day! I managed to take 5 minutes to be in peace, and have a coffee and a cinnamon biscuit to get reenergised! Ideally, as a Portuguese, the coffee should have been accompanied by “Pastel de Nata”, our national cake, but as I couldn’t get one the cinnamon biscuit can also be accepted.

Para quem gosta de policiais, como é o meu caso, achei muito interessante. Vou tentar encontrar agora outros livros do autor. “ Serial Killer é coisa de americano, não faz parte da nossa cultura. Welber olhou para ele. - Crime também é cultura – concluiu o delegado. O detective contínuo sem saber se era para levar a frase a sério…” p.48 “…Toda a certeza, como você disse é imtima, subjectiva. Certeza não é verdade O que é necessário para se passar de certeza a verdade? - Factos…” p196.
