Liver pate,

Today I tried to make something new again, what I had not made for years. I made again after long time home made liver pate. And it tasted very good. So I thought, I would share it also with other people.

Ingredients to liver pate:

1 kg pig liver
200 gr fat
300 - 400 gr carrots
400 gr smoked bakon
3 smaller yellow onion
3 or 4 laurel leaves
Pepper
Salt
Water

I fried on pan first fat for to get fat to fry later liver. I also fried after bacon to get away some fat. It should not be a lot of fat. After both fat and bacon was fried I started to fry lever on pan. First I sliced and hammered a little bit with meat hammer and fried until it was brown, but it still was taste good and did not tasted as rubber. After I was put all of it together in a casserole and added salt, pepper, laurel leaves, sliced onion and sliced carrots. I added water so that all of that mix was covered. I left it to cook on a low temperature until the water was almost boiled off, because a little liquid should be left, because it makes that pate will have more tasty and have good moist. After this has been boiled, let it cool down and after that I used mixer to get is chopped as pate should look out. After you can pack it in portions as you want to save it.

Oat bran baguettes,

Other thing what I baked today was oat bran baguettes. They took bit longer time to wait until baking in own, but to make dough and to bake, it goes very fast.

Ingredients for oat bran baguettes:

25 gr. yeast

2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon honing or syrup

6 dl hand-warm water  

2½ dl oat bran

4 dl spelled wheat flour

6-6½ dl wheat flour

Mix yeast and honing/syrup and water together. When all this is mixed together, just add salt, oat bran, flour and mix it with tree spoon all together but not very hard mixing. And let it stay under covered next 2 hours.

Take dough out and share it 4 equal parts. Do not knead. Just cut it with dough scraper or sharp knife. Shape them long thin baguettes - as long as baking sheet. Lift it easy to baking sheet and brush it over with egg. 

Heat own up to 260 degrees. When it is 260 degrees bake breads 15 minutes. 

After that lower temperature down to 150 degrees. Bake breads another 15 minutes. 

After a while it has cooled down and ready to eat. Must say, it tastes also very good. I liked that bread even more. 

And it is ready to eat :)

Deep pan brown bread,

As I wrote today earlier, so, today was bread baking day. It was first time I made a brown bread. Usually the bread I have been baked, has been white bread, since it is easier, but I must admit - that bread is very easy. It goes very fast and easy to mix bread dough together and longest time is taken only by baking and you do not have to mostly do nothing. Just higher oven degrees after half a time in oven.

Ingredients to deep pan bread dough:

1 kg rye flour
1 tablespoon bicarbonate
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon anise
1 teaspoon fennel
1 liter a-fil - ( processed sour milk)
3 dl dark syrup

Mix all ingredients together to sticky dough.

Butter up  one ordinary deep pan what comes with oven. Pan has to be buttered very well, because brad grows in height only as much as it is buttered up. I buttered it all totally up.

 Put all that nice sticky dough with fingers to pan and spread it over pan. It would be easier to spread if you make your fingers together with flour.

First put oven to 100 degrees and let bread be there for 45 minutes. After that higher heat to 150 degrees and let bread be another 45 minutes there.

After it had cooled down, we cutted it open and tasted it. And I must say, it tasted very good. I was so happy that it came out. As I told before, I had never done before the dark bread. At least I tried :) And I can try again, when this is ended :)

Butter on and it tasted perfect :)

Weekend so far,

It is another Sunday afternoon and we are back at home. It has been really nice weekend what we both have enjoyed. Yesterday we visited friends in Hällekis and later we had good time at home in my soon father-in-law place. Yesterday I also got my long waited cake :) And it was full of chocolate. Something what I am really liking :)

Yesterday evening I also got a small nice present from Tommy´s dad. I got a brooch what had belonged to Tommy´s mother. It was a I. I felt so honored to get it, because that came from his heart, since it had belonged to Tommy´s mother. It was very nice from him to give it to me. I was very thankful over it.

Today I also baked a bread. It was long time since I did it last time. It was white bread I have done before, today I tried to make some different kind of bread. Will see what happens and how it comes out. After they are done and cooled bit down, I make some more pictures of them and I will add them also to my blog together with recipes so, that also you all can bake it after, if you are interested. They smell good at least. Home is full of good baking smell and now we are anxious to taste it, that how the end result came out :)

Swedish Eurovision Songcontest part 1,

 

Today started in Sweden a first part out of 6 to find a Swedish song, what will represent Sweden in May on European Songcontest 2011 in Dusseldorf. Usually I don't look it because I don't like it. At least not the first parts when they trying to find the song what should represent Sweden. I must admit that I find it booring. Usually if I look it, then I look the big festival, where all European countries are represented.
Today I am looking it because I am not at home, but I am in my soon father-in-laws home and he seems to like to look it.
So far the songs what have been showed, I feel like one might have a small potential, but others have not after my opinion. Now will see how sounds melody nr. 7. Beginning is not not the best.
Have a nice evening my dear readers.
