Say Cheese-407B W 81st Ave 46410 Merrillville



Cremeux de Bourgogne: Similar in appearance to St. Andre, this French cheese has a bloomy rind and a creamy paste. Its sweetness goes very well with fresh fruit. The Cremeux uses less rennet than St. Andre, resulting in a looser, more buttery paste, but more rennet than Delice de Bourgogne, so the rind is cohesive and won't separate from the interior.This has a milky mouthful and pillowy, moussed paste and thin, "skin" of a rind. 

Wine pairing: White or Red Burgundy.

ДОМАШНА ЛИСНАТА ПИТА НА МАМА

Домашна лисната пита на Мама

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Подготовка на тестото1.Во сад, брашното се меша со солта, маслото и оцетот. Постепено се додава водата и се замесува тесто кое не се лепи на рацете и е мазно. Тестото се дели на две еднакви половини, се завиткува во пластична фолија и се остава во ладилник најмалку половина час.
  2. Расукано тесто2.На набрашнета површина, со помош на оклагија и сукало се расукува тенка кора со големина од околу 50 см. Кората се премачкува со половина од маргаринот (маргаринот НЕ СМЕЕ да биде течен и топол, тој треба да биде омекнат и да ја поприми собната температура).
  3. Листање на тестото3.Кората се сече на 12 дела но така што средината останува цела. Потоа секое парче се префрла на внатрешна страна. Се префрлуваат парчињата едни врз други и по можност малку се подрашируваат со рака.
  4. Спремно лиснато тесто4.Лисната топка се замотува во фолија и се остава во ладилник да се „одмори“ најмалку 1 саат (но може и подолго време, на пример 1 ден). На ист начин се постапува и со втората топка.
  5. Фил5.Се подготвува филот: во сад, обарениот спанаќ се меша со издробеното со рака сирење, се додаваат јајцата и убаво се хомогенизира целата смеса.
  6. Посготвена прва кора6.Се сука кора со големина од околу 50-60 cм, се намотува на сукалото и се пренесува на намачканата со масло тепсијата. Кората е поголема од тепсијата и еден мал дел од неа треба да се остави да виси надвор од тепсијата за да може на крајот да се направи витката.
  7. Втора кора7.Врз првата кора се става филот, се раширува по целата површина и врз филот се става втората раширена кора. И таа е поголема од тепсијата, внимателно и рамномерно се гужва без да останат делови надвор од тепсијата.
  8. Спремно за печење8.Со остатокот од кората се прави витката. Пред да се пече, горната кора, со помош на виљушка се дупнува на повеќе места за да остане питата рамна, т.е воздухот кој се создава од филот да излезe.
  9. Испечена пита9.Питата се става во згреана рерна на 220 С и веднаш се намалува на 200 С. Се пече 20-30 минути додека горната кора убаво порумени.
  10. Спремна за јадење10.Испечена, со помош на четка, се премачкува со тенок слој растопен маргарин, путер или масло, а може и маст, се покрива и се остава да се олади.

Instead of lauding all of the great police officers who put in long hours to make our communities safer, the headlines are stolen by the few bad apples who should never have become officers in the first place.

It’s the old run-out-of-money before you run-out-of-month problem. We’ve all experienced a cash flow shortage in the course of owning a trucking operation. In fact, from time to time, a lot of business owners find they do not have the cash on hand to cover accounts payable. There’s always that sudden slowdown in freight, an abrupt increase in fuel costs, or that engine in-frame or transmission repair that wasn’t anticipated. The causes of cash shortages are as diverse and numerous as small trucking companies.
