For rainy Days


This weekend was cold and cloudy. We decide to go for a walk in Recoleta, Buenos Aires neighborhood, we went to Buenos Aires Design, a mall of homestores, design furniture, beautiful kitchens and kitchenware. In the inferior part, this called Terrazas, where is the restaurants and the wine bars, after taking a look we decides in favor to eating lunch in Prima Fila. An Italian restaurant, I requested a Risotto di Gamberi: shrimp risotto, squids and fresh tomatoes, the rice was Italian and al dente. Delicious. For dessert we divide a Brule of orange/ coconut with red fruits relented in warm kirsch. In the exit they offered us generously a glass of sparkling wine ( Argentine Chandon brut ) and a limoncello for my husband.Very gently

On Sunday the day continued like as Saturday, cloudy and rainy, how we thought of seeing a movie at home, I decided to leave the traditional popcorns and make these fried pastries, that the recipe is in my family always. They are retinues and flavorful.

Ingredients

1/2 kg flour

1 spoonful baking soda

5 Tablespoons sugar

3 Large Eggs

4 Tablespoons oil

4 Tablespoons vinegar

Mix all the ingredients to make wound tapes and to cut small squares, to be fried in hot oil. Sprinkle with confectionery's sugar

Those pastries look delicious! I cannot think of a better thing than sitting home watching a movie on a rainy day with a nice little snack and your sweetie to cuddle.

They look so light, but I'm sure they're quite hardy.

It's been so rainy here lately, Sylvia, and kind of cold, too - these would be perfect right now with my cup of tea!
