Senior Week Ocean City Houses

La cassata

were several years that I could not. I do not have a great deal of experience of cassate but I am satisfied. The hardest thing is the icing and decoration, but having made the last 5 came just Carucci.
I had a warm sponge cake, type GENOISE without yeast.


Ingredients for a nice big cassata:

For the sponge cake (to be done the day before):

6 uova
100 g. di fecola di patate
100 g. di farina 00
200 g. di zucchero
un pizzico di sale

Per la farcitura:

1 kg e 200 di ricotta di pecora
300 g. di zucchero
100 g. di gocce di cioccolato
150 g. canditi misti a cubetti
essenza di vaniglia
2-3 cucchiai di maraschino

Per la bagna:
1/2 litro di acqua
200 g. di zucchero
2 bicchierini di maraschino (quelli di carta da caffè)
la buccia di un limone

For the icing

300 g. icing sugar to taste water
few drops of lemon

For decoration:

candied fruit
a stick of green almond paste


Procedure:

The day before, put the ricotta in a colander for a couple of hours to make them lose their whey. Add sugar, maraschino and vanilla and mix. Put in refrigerator.
also prepare the syrup by boiling water with sugar and lemon peel for 15 minutes.
Also the day before, prepare the sponge cake as follows: In a saucepan, beat the eggs with sugar and salt and then heated in a water bath by placing them in another pot with water. When the eggs become very warm and fit in a planetary pay until the mixture becomes frothy. Sift together flour and starch. At this point we must abandon the whip and arm themselves with a spoon, slowly add a little flour at a time and turn from the bottom up not to remove the compound. Grease and flour the pan, pour the mixture and cook in preheated oven at 160-170 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. When cool, wrap in a cloth. The next day add
maraschino syrup.
compose the dessert where we baked the sponge cake.
Spread the almond paste and cut a strip higher than the mold in which we baked the sponge cake, and as long as its circumference. Cover the mold with plastic wrap and lay the strip of marzipan in the inner edge. Cut the sponge cake in half and place one half on the bottom of the mold and pour in the syrup. Stuffed with ricotta cheese prepared the day before, cover with the other half of sponge cake and sprinkle with the syrup, too.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day or night.
time has elapsed, turn the Cassata. Prepare
the glaze by adding a few tablespoons of water and a few drops of lemon juice with sugar in order to obtain a smooth, smooth but not too liquid.
Pour the mixture over the surface of the cake.
Decorate Finally, at will, with candied fruit.
Typically cassata is done using slices of sponge cake but I find this much simpler method, the important thing is that the sponge is not too high.
The board can also be done by alternating slices of almond paste and slices of sponge cake cut into small trapezoids.
I apologize for the Sicilians and the various errors, my home is a box, from very inexperienced in this area and do-it-me ...!

Le dieci notizie più importanti del 2010

Finding them was not easy. Among environmental disasters and elections led to civil wars, the good news from the world have been few, it nascondono bene e vengono dimenticate in fretta ( i minatori, certo: quelli ce li ricordiamo tutti ). Ma per esserci ci sono, e abbiamo voluto recuperarne dieci : se ne avete altre, meglio.

10. Gli arresti dei boss messicani
La situazione della guerra alla droga in Messico non è delle migliori, anzi, proprio una settimana fa la stima delle vittime dall’insediamento del presidente Felipe Calderon a oggi, cioè dal 2006, è salita a più 30 thousand. Compared with the last three years, however, this is the first that has seen a series of arrests and killings in the ranks of prominent drug traffickers. Security forces killed the leader of the Mexican Gulf cartel Tony Tormenta, have arrested the leader of the cartel of drug traffickers in Ciudad Juarez, stopped two other boss and killed dozens of drug traffickers, seized (and later burned hundreds of tons of marijuana. The war is still far from its end, but at least he stopped counting losses on one side only.

9. The Oscar The Hurt Locker
course: insert between the good news of an award given to a room of actors, directors and producers in a suit and tie can quasimilionari a bit out of tune '. However, considering the scope and influence of Oscar Academy habit of voting classic blockbuster, the victory of The Hurt Locker (a wonderful film about the war in Iraq by the collection content) at the expense of most Hollywood Avatar (we do not want to take anything away anyway) is certainly good news. In addition to an Oscar is the first woman director, who never makes evil.

8. A cure for AIDS prevention
It's called Truvada, and it seems that its regular intake can significantly reduce the chances of HIV infection in those most at risk. Unfortunately it is expensive, and the history of AIDS is underpinned by hopes then turned out holes in the water, but scientists Truvada - which now face new tests - could not betray the expectations. The cure was discovered by Anthony S. Fauci and his group internal search the National Institutes of Health , and funded by the Melinda and Bill Gates' charitable foundation. The same foundation has funded prometente another drug to combat meningitis in Africa.

7. Four billion mobiles
in the world today there are four billion people who own a mobile phone. Some may be skeptical about the beneficial flow of mobile phones, but in Africa are essential for communication in remote areas and in non-democratic countries can help the movement for human rights, spread literacy and information, support trade and the economy. Only in Haiti, after the earthquake of January, the project "Mobile giving " - a few EUR SMS - has raised millions of dollars, and mobile phones are used to benefit non-governmental organizations to map the crisis in the territory. Another such program is called " Ushaidi " and has completely changed the management of emergencies in crisis areas.

6. Chilean Miners
is the story of the summer: it is almost impossible that you have not heard of the thirty-three miners from Chile at least once. Trapped in a mine on August 5, discovered alive two weeks later and, finally, gloriously freed two months later with the efforts of the Chilean government, which "has spared no expense" to the rescue, gaining a new and broad popular support.

5. The release of Aung San Suu Kyi
Burma - or, as the military calls it, the Republic of Myanmar - remains a dictatorship, confermata anche dalle ultime elezioni. Ma la notizia della liberazione dell’attivista Nobel per la pace ( qui il suo profilo ) dopo quindici anni di arresti domiciliari è stata seguita con attenzione e gioia da buona parte del mondo. Suu Kyi ha dichiarato che è pronta a dialogare con il regime e ora dovrà rimettere insieme i pezzi dell’opposizione, che negli anni della sua assenza ha perso forza e coesione.

4. La riforma sanitaria di Obama
Da qualche mese trentadue milioni di statunitensi in più sono coperti dall'assicurazione sanitaria, e solo questo dato basta a legittimare la notizia come una delle migliori dell’anno, che argina — pur senza eliminarla — l’assurdità di un paese tra i più democratici al mondo che non era in grado di garantire cure mediche a buona parte della popolazione.

3. Il buco nell’ozono
Non è di certo successo da un giorno all’altro, ma quest’anno gli scienziati ne hanno rilevato i processi maggiori: the famous ozone hole is closing. 25 years after its discovery, between 15 and 30 km above our heads, things are starting to improve the timely ban on the gases responsible for ozone destruction allowed to patch the hole and is seen by many as a model to be applied to tackle even the most threatening problem of global warming.

2. Same-sex marriage in Argentina
After fourteen hours of debate in the Senate and 33 votes in favor and 27 against, Argentina has become the first South American country to pass legislation for the recognition of same-sex marriage, which may also be taken. Thousands of people live below the debate out of the Senate and in the streets of many cities of Argentina, then partying at the rate of "Yes, se puede" , the English version of "Yes We Can" by Obama. In previous months, gay marriage was ratified in Portugal and Iceland. Now the countries where homosexuals can marry are ten and no, we did not.

1. World hunger
The elimination of hunger in the world is a slow process progressing, but is beginning to take its first steps. This year, the FAO (the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) has declared, for the first time, a reversal in the numbers of hunger in the world: 98 million hungry people in less than in 2010. The number of undernourished humans remains "unacceptably high" (925 million), but developments last year but still gives good hope for the future.
