Vegetables Pie / Quiche

I just made it up this recipe and it is very nice

It is a Vegetable Pie / Quiche (I haven't decided yet how to call it) maybe Bavarian Style?

anyway,  here is the recipe:
you will need:

1/4 pumpkin





1 zucchini
2 carrots
1 sweet potato
1 brown onion
1 garlic clove
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
extra flour to thicken the filling
3 tbsp butter / margarine (Cold / chopped)

3 tbsp of water for the dough
plus some more for the vegetables 

250g Ricotta ( i used light)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
plus salt (and pepper) to taste
Cinnamon
Nut meg

Oil Spray

All the vegetables should be shredded. I used the food processor, because mine has a disc with this function, otherwise you can use the old and good metal one. The onion and garlic can be chopped.









But first, the dough
In a large bowl, put flour and salt and butter / margarine. Star mixing with your finger and it will become granular. add water, 1 spoon at time.
Make a ball, and wrap it with cling wrap paper and put it in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
It is a little bit messy, but it doesn't matter because only goes on the bottom of your pie / quiche.


Heat up the oil in a large frypan, add onion and garlic and sugar.
Add some water so the sugar wont burn.



In this photo you can see is just enough sugar to "Cover" the onions.
Add all the vegetables, and stir well. The vegetables will absorb the water.
Add some nutmeg and cinnamon and some flour (Very little), to thicken the mixure only a little bit and keep stirring for around 5 to 8 minutes in high heat.
Put it aside.

Preheat the oven to 180C.
in a separate bowl, beat up the eggs, and add half of the ricotta, salt and pepper to taste.
Open your dough between to pieces of baking paper, so you wont need to use extra flour.

Place the dough in the bottom and sides of a oven proof dish or baking tray.
Now this is how I made it (and dont ask me why)

First, a layer of the vegetables mixture.
Then, I poured a little bit of the egg mixture, that technically should penetrate in between the veggies.
Then, I put another layer of vegetables and egg.
Then Mix the rest of the ricotta with the rest of the vegetables and put it on the top.
I mixed everything a little bit but feel free to adapt and do it the "Right way"





I am showing this photo so you can see the inside.
It is delicious and healthy.
Yum Yum.

Que pasa con las relaciones reales????

Si, es verdad! Después de orkut (o antes, en realidad no lo se) vemos una proliferación imensa de sitios de relaciones, intercambios, grupos, personas, deseos, fotos, y lo que nos imaginemos. Orkut Flickr Last.fm 43things Blogs Fotologs etc, etc, etc. Será que ya llegamos al punto que somos tan dependientes de la tecnologia que no somos capaces de salir de casa y hacer amigos a la moda antigua? O será que virtualmente hoy en dia nos parece mas facil porque podemos pintar la imagen que queramos y es una manera de esconder la realidad? Que pasa con la realidad? no se...este post va a tener parte 2...lo voy a pensar un poco. por favor, diganme que opinan??? De cualquier manera, apesar de todo lo malo que se supone que puede tener, o que esta pasando con el mundo, tiene su parte buena, como compartir la musica que yo escucho, que es lo que les pongo ahora mismo! Que disfruten... y que las amistades virtuales se hagan cada vez mas reales...

Wednesday is day of

Wednesday is the day that I work from home, although today is my last one, since I will finish working this Friday. I have this girl cleaning my house because I  can't do much, plus I prefer to pay someone to help with the cleaning if I can. I think its because I grew up in Brazil where you usually have a live in cleaner (or used to, cause I hear things are changing there. So I didn't do much today. I did eat chocolate (Please someone make the chocolate go away), cooked dinner in the morning (Before the cleaner came).  I made a mushroom ricotta quiche (Recipe is here ) that is delicious (had some for lunch). and spent the whole afternoon researching about my new little project (its in the oven) and not getting anywhere really cause I am finding challenging to find the suppliers I need in Australia. I Also did some work, but 2 days before I finish I don't really have so much to do. Anyway, that's my day. Time to go pick up my son from day care. Til next time Xo...

Bandana Bib / Dribbling Bib

Now that my child blows raspberry and dribbles non stop, I thought I would make a bandana / Dribble bib for him. It looks so cute and I thought that I could definitely make some myself. So here are the instructions. Ideally you will need to different pieces of fabric. One of them I made towel and jersey, other I made flannel and towel. Any absorbent fabric really would do, but I like the idea of towel ish fabric to absorbe the dribble and stop it from getting into his t-shirt. Specially now that the weather is so cold here in sydney. You will cut a triangle of fabric. the base/wider side should have around 43 cm. So fold in the middle and allowing 2 cm to give it the needed shape (its not a perfect triangle) measure from the end to the middle 30 cm. I reckon the drowing will make more sense. You can do it with paper and use it as a pattern, or you can do it with one piece of fabric and than cut the other one based on the first one. Anyway, put right sides togeth...
