Weekend Crumbs

October 9, 2012 by Zizi

I posted my latest weekend crumbs back in June. It is high time for a new one. I took a lot of (surprisingly) photos this past weekend.

Saturday morning I took a friend of mine to the organic farmers market. I walked around with her because it was her first time at the market. Early morning the weather was sunny but the fall air was crisp and cool. We loved to breathe it in as much as we could! After the market she invited me for a snack at a close bakery.

In the afternoon I baked Emiko’s florentine grape bread. Although I over rose the dough, it tasted delizioso!

This weekend seemed like the perfect weather for organic farms visiting. On Sunday we visited two farms in Fülöpjakab, in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary.

One of them was the Nemes Eco Farm (with  the two lovely owners, Mátyás and his wife, Marika). On the farm horticultural activities are carried out all the year round, by applying the methods of vegetative growing in green-houses of foil with minimum heating, and cold forcing of the plants in green-houses of foil. Hardy plants are grown on the fields from early spring to late autumn. Some 70-80 plant varieties are produced in a year.  The garden is open for visitors any time. For groups of visitors, lectures or presentations on organic horticulture can be arranged.

The other farm we visited was the Organic Mushroom Farm. The owner is Sándor Gyöngyösi  and he has been engaged in growing the mushroom variety oyster mushroom (+ shitakee) for 15 years. He also produces the famous ganoderma – a genus of polypore mushrooms. By taking ganoderma mushroom as a herbal supplement (only organic), you will get long-lasting reserves of energy, feel better and stronger and notice that your body is functioning more effectively and efficiently.

Weekend Crumbs

June 25, 2012 by Zizi

Some weekend crumb photos about the organic farmers market and food we ate. We didn’t do much just relaxed, read books and watched movies. It was a perfect weekend after all.

Cute red raspberries and redcurrants…

Green veggie heaven…

Beautiful summer colours, fruits, vegetables… I always fell in love with summer markets’ colours and smells.

Every Saturday after the market we have a small indulgence at Brót Bakery: cappuccino and pistachio roll are our favorites.

There is a new waffel place in Budapest, called ‘Habos Gofri’, it means fluffy waffel. We checked the place out on Saturday afternoon. Our favorite was the chocolate whipped cream waffel. A-m-a-z-i-n-g and addictive…  We couldn’t stop until 3 waffels each. 🙂

Vegan hazelnut vanilla pancakes with fresh raspberries and maple syrup for breakfast on Sunday morning…

Bank of river Danube…

Weekend Crumbs

May 29, 2012 by Zizi

Lots of weekend crumbs pictures about the long weekend. It started with a wonderful breakfast: brioche bread I baked (recipe coming soon) with strawberry rhubarb compote I made. Yum!

I love gardening in our small parcel in the community garden. It’s wonderful to see your vegetables to grow. Zucchini, coriander, rhubarb, aragula – all look luscious and green thanks for last week rains.

I also traveled home to Szeged to see my family and friends. May is always a nice month to visit Szeged because there are so many programs around the town. As one of the largest and most flourishing cities of Hungary, a lot is expected from Szeged’s Wine Festival each year (every May). Crowded squares and streets to be expected with happy people enjoying wine and food. There are always more than a hundred Hungarian wine-makers you will find, several blues and jazz bands playing around, dance houses where you can enjoy some authentic folk experience, and, not to be fed with noble beverages only, a fantastic gastroyard to eat delicious dishes.

After drinking wines a big garlic lángos is the best to soothe your appetite… Lángos is a Hungarian food speciality, a deep fried flat bread made of a dough with flour, yeast, salt and water. It is eaten fresh and warm, topped with sour cream and grated cheese, rubbed with garlic or garlic butter, or doused with garlic water.

Sunday morning breakfast: remaining brioche with the compote…

Not only the Wine Festival made my home town busy there were also the Bridge Fair. There are stalls of craftsmen from all over the country on the Old Bridge in the middle of Szeged where you can buy lots of traditionally made products from shoes to sweets. During the fair there are puppet shows for children, folk concerts and also other nationalities and countries can introduce their culture.

Before the fair we cherished ourselves with sweet treats: a slice of creamy cake and a cup of foamy cappuccino…

Few montage pictures of the fair…

The famous Hungarian paprika is this beautifully red as on this pic…

Cute dog… 🙂

The sculpture of the girl with chocolate was made from 70 kg marzipan, during approximately 800 working hours, and she watches Arthur’s activity from a glass cabinet.
