October according to my smartphone

To be honest, nothing really important is happening to me in this period.
I have my internship, I have my boyfriend, and I have a looooot of this that I want to update in my life.
But I'm even happy for all that I have, so I think this is a good balance...

 So, if my smartphone could talk, he would tell you that in October....

 @_@ I cooked..... recipes are coming soon!If you're interested let me know! (on the left something like muffins but with a loooot of chocolate, and on right a savoury pie with vegetables)

@_@    I saw wonderful sunsets....

 @_@ I fell in love with fall....

 @_@  ....sometimes my boyfriend needs a personal shopper (left)  and my friends need to smile (right)!

 ...I really think this October ain't that bad!!!!

What I eat: eggplant balls

Happy Saturday everyone!
So, yesterday I spent my afternoon in the kitchen, I cooked my first ragù (it was really good, approved by my mum, my sister and my brother-in-law), and then I cooked eggplantballs!
And I tought "Why can't I join the thousand food bloggers?"
And here's my first food post! :)
How to cook eggplantballs!

YOU'LL NEED.... (4 people)

 2 big eggplants
 50 gr of basil
 50 gr of parmesan (or something more, it depends how fix you want to have it)
 50 gr cup of bread crumbs (or something more, it depends how fix you want to have it)

DIRECTIONS:
wash your eggplants, cut them in big pieces, and put them in a pot with water and salt.
cook them until they are soft (yesterday they took 1 hour)
pour your eggplants in a colander so the water can go away from your vegetables (lay your eggplants in the colander for 2 or 3 hours)
put your eggplants in a mixing bowl, add parmesan, bread crumbs, and basil cut in little pieces
mix everything
create little balls
fry them

We ate them with tomatos, with cheese, you can eat them with what you want!
Hope you enjoy them, if you cook them, let me know if you like it!

Recipe: Legumes soup

As i tell you, I like cooking.
Today, I'm home alone (yahooo!!!!), and I can be the queen of the kitchen.
So, while winter is still with us, I wanted to eat something hot....this is the recipe of a legumes soup:
1. You need some dehydrate legumes (I took 250 gr of beans, barley, lentils..):

2. Then cut a onion (I took a half), and a carrot, and then mince them together:

3. Now: join carrots+onions minced with legumes with water (about 1,5 l, if the soup isn't ready, you have to add other water):

4. Cook it for about 2 hours (I'm not good with timetables...I taste a bean...if it is soft, soup is ready, if it is hard the soup isn't ready! ;) )

5. Grate some Grana Padano, and when the soup is cooked, add Grana Padano to the soup

6. Eat it!!!

Have a nice Friday evening!!!

PS: I used Picasa in every photo......I love it!!!!

This weekend I found my happiness recipe (if you have an ill boyfriend and the rain is pouring outside....)

You will need:
1. a rainy day
2. your boyfriend that doesn't feel good
3. a blanket (because outside it's winter, even if we are in spring)
4. some dvd
5. a sofa (ok, we don't have the one in the picture above, but I can dream .... )
6. mix all....
...... you will have a wondeful time, and you will miss your weekend during the week!!!

Rain

Sometimes I like rain.
I can study, and I feel lucky for being at home, kept out of the rain.
I like looking out and see all the little drops.
