Tailbone Injury How Long To Heal

University 'armored

from the "manifesto" of January 18, 2008 - article by Stefano Milani
A Wisdom in military posture
University patrolled by police and the police. Students protest outside but remain

lacked only the barbed wire and a sign to warn of the "impassable limit." For the rest it was all there. There were riot police to patrol every opening. There were armored vehicles with the engine running ready to load. There were helicopters to control all from above. But above all, there was an air tight, a surreal atmosphere. It had been years that you could not see the wisdom in this way militarized. I suppose there never has been, not even looking at '77. Why even the Pope has reversed itself and declined academic, for the first university in the capital has not changed anything. It had to be reinforced and was reinforced. As planned. So: you enter just by showing your student card and proof of identity. Students are surprised, even those who simply asked to go to attend classes or take examinations. Nothing, "available from the top, they say laconic agents. It 's the last minute wild card out from the deck of the rector Renato Guarini. A "retaliatory beautiful and good" according to the student movement in response to the 'humiliation' of papale.Ma even for those who refuse to cross the threshold of the university scenario remains unchanged. In the streets inside the citadel a web of barriers limiting the movement of panic a few students in the area and defines an area of \u200b\u200bsecurity behind and in front of the rectory, around the statue of Minerva. I am 11 and in the Great Hall Mussi and Veltroni are committed to Secularism and know about. Outside, next to the Faculty of Law, several dozen young activists of Action, the student organization close to the National Alliance, chanting slogans Ratzinger. Will the only ones allowed inside the university choirs. For everyone who disagrees with the official ceremony is outside. Face to face with police in riot gear deployed in defense of you do not know what. "Terrorists" and "bloody," as defined them as much press these days, guilty of having prevented the pope to inaugurate the academic year. Blocked the entrance of Via De Lollis for "reasons of public order." They are the collective and the university network for self-training, organizers of the protest, which were also added to the Cobas (with Piero Bernocchi in the head), the No Vat, Red Megaphone, community centers and committees of struggle for the home. There is also a member of the PRC Francesco Caruso, who obtained permission to go and talk to Guarini to request the opening of the gates. All, however, students of Wisdom and not. "The decision of the police," he says hastily the Magnificent. 'E' as required by the rector, "the lie to the Commissioner of tragicomic polizia.In this context, everything remains static. And students are left out, with their songs and their banners of dissent. "Gagging criticism kills the university," they yell. "What happened today is a very serious," says George Sestili coordination Collective, because "to enter the members only of Wisdom is a place that is closed to the public. Had also joined the protest associations and organizations who have come from other universities. So it impossible for people to express their disagreement, one thing has never seen even in the darkest years of our history. "But the rector is a deaf ear and remains firm on his positions. "I refused to discuss the reasons for extremists who try to incite hatred of disorder and no ideal and constructive suggestion," says late in the evening and only when inside and outside the university, will be returned to the granting calma.Unica , a short march around campus. Always under the watchful eye of law enforcement and the time needed to get out only by one thereby removing Mussi and Veltroni unpleasant situations. But there's all the same. Only back in the early afternoon calm. A Piazzale Aldo Moro re-open the gates and students can then be inserted within the town without any control and leaving the card in his pocket. Just as the guys in that group, after the "Frocessione" on the streets of San Lorenzo, were able to revise the statue of Minerva to the cry of 'we recover the university. "

Luis Sepulveda solidarity with the students of La Sapienza

The Chilean writer Luis Sepulveda, author novels as "The Old Man Who Read Love Stories" and "Patagonia Express", has supported the protests of students and professors of the University 'La Sapienza Rome against the Pope's visit, writing from Gijon (city of Asturias, in Spain), a Chilean article published in "Le monde diplomatique. The article can be read in their original language at this address:
http://www.lemondediplomatique.cl/Eppur-si-muove.html

Here is the translation from English:


yet it moves (in Italian in the text)

We know that older people have mental regression that take them, sometimes, to happier times, full and intense
of their lives. Something similar must have happened to Ratzinger when he said that at the time of Galileo, the church was more faithful to reason than Galileo himself. Sometimes

back to the happy years inquisitor during which raged, for example, against the advocates of liberation theology, that the mere exercise of reason that said to put next to the poor.
Or, worse yet, it is possible that his mental regressions bring back the days of the Hitler Youth when he accepted the right of Catholicism and took for the good fairy tale on which the Nazis, "by God to the king, the king the people and the people to the Führer. "

The University of Rome, in a 'perfect demonstration of force that can and should be civil and secular society, has forced the Vatican to terminate a Papal visit inexplicable, because if there is a place in the world which must remain free from lies, dogma and superstition, this is the University.
[...] The
example of what has happened in Rome should pave the way for a series of answers to questions that are in the air for a long time but which, or electoral calculations or lower his head for a politically correct , do not express aloud.

Some of these questions to which there can be no answer "until we can tolerate hordes of superstitious the dignity of women by attacking the clinics where abortion is practiced with diligence and make the exercise of legal right?
And until we allow a miserable with her skirt allow you to compare homosexuality with pedophilia?
And as long as we tolerate that the clergy describes itself champion of human rights and assert that secularism, the essence of democracy, puts them in danger? "
We can not grant authority and we can not give you much listening, when it comes to sex, persons who have renounced it and see it only as a reproductive function.
We can not allow human rights are invoked by those who not only closed their eyes when they were violated, but opened them very good to see the evil they were criminals, and to secure from them a reward in exchange of silence.

This made the Catholic Church in Franco's Spain, this did Pius XII during the Nazi era, so did the Catholic Church blesses the bombing in Vietnam, this was the behavior of the Catholic Church in Argentina, where he performed before and during the torturers " purifying mission "in secret prisons.

By her example, the 'University of Rome tells us that the defense of the state and non-denominational lay back d be an urgent task, because secularism is the last thing left to preserve this erie of achievements that are called Rights Rights and Freedoms.

The steady weakening of the state, due to globalization and the consequent politicization of the economy is yielding functions (so you do privatization) ultinazionali to companies that do not tolerate neither moral nor ethical, because their only purpose is profit, and leaves the company ndifesa in hand with superstition. It is no coincidence the delirium of Ratzinger in despising the reason for Galileo. And it was not even the videoconferencing ua participation in the first act of the election campaign of the English right, arties by the bishops. Nothing that makes the Catholic church, on this gigantic multinational headquarters in the Vatican, including banks, including Mafia connections, is random, and certainly does not obey divine aspirations.

The clergy know that the deepening freedoms of society, the achievement of civil rights, education
growth based on values \u200b\u200band not on folkloric traditions, as the fruit gives companies itelligenti, curious, able to accept the future as a collective challenge and not as a fatality. Ratzinger and the Vatican will be able to order the young University of Rome (already did the cowardly Prodi in his own way), women who abort exercising their right to be master of his own body, the guys who study citizenship education the judges who marry each other same-sex, scientists doing research with stem cells, but it is clear that, just as Galileo said: moves yet.

Pope's Visit: The Wisdom rebels - PRESS

The Wisdom of the scream no pope
article is about Stephen Milani from "manifesto" of January 16, 2008

"Out of the pope from the university." The slogan has become a symbol of these days, yesterday, a certainty. Increased from just five in the afternoon when the news reached the ears of the Pope's about-face students. I'm in the midst of an assembly of the collective locked inside a classroom of Political Science. It is to organize work, plan events, coordinate meetings of the network of "anti-clerical week" against the arrival of the host side. Suddenly a phone rings. Then another. And another. There is talk of rumors, rumors, rumors simple yet to be confirmed. But just take a round of phone calls to some friends, get someone who's in front of a computer and an Internet connection to confirm that you want. "The pope is no more." A scoop is all George Sestili, coordination of the collective wisdom, which almost does not believe it when he pronounces the sentence. 'It's true, it is true, say it also Internet sites, "confirming others. "So it's official?". "Yes, yes we won." The joy at this point is uncontrolled. Applause, shouts, slaps on the back. "Out of the pope from the University": the chorus part instantly. The first hot comments are euphoric. "He won the living body of the university." The "victory of secularism lla against the interference of the Catholic Church in a public space where they dominate reason and dialogue," adds George. Francesco Raparelli, the Network for the self, goes further, calling the day yesterday, "an indication of policy for the country against the interference of the Catholic Church in a public space where they dominate reason and dialogue. "To enjoy and understand this" historic victory "(as some call it 'all) but you must start from the beginning. From one day to the collective started at nine. The appointment is in front of the Physics Department. The day's program includes discussions, film screenings, meetings, meetings. There are those who prepare the sandwiches for lunch anticlerical, always based on pork and Piquette, who takes care of covering the lane inside the campus of leaflets and posters in which the effigy of Pope Ratzinger is crazy in all salse.Tutti damage to the waiting 12. At the stroke of half a wave is just a protest from the corridors the faculty moved into the heart of the academic institution: the rectory. Employment is too simple. Go up one floor and you enter into the hall of the Senate. Nobody expected it. Not even the janitor, took place in the ornamental plants have just arrived to make the entrance more welcoming Pope in Aula Magna. Angry are angry, but the tone remains peaceful. Without clear and the reasons: "For knowledge, a science and a secular university. So that learning needs neither priests nor masters. " And again: "Because the university is a community of scholars belonging to different cultural orientations, schools of thought, addresses scientific, religious beliefs policies and accessions, all equally recognized no privilege. " They want a meeting with Renato Guarini, the chancellor in person, so give them permission to be able to display to coincide with the pope's arrival at the university. A tug-of two hours, then finally the encounter with the "magnificent" which may receive the promised freedom of expression. Sure, you can not do it freely, but must remain within a given area, including the statue of Minerva and the Faculty of Arts, but students must be good with it. Just look at their smiles while leaving the offices of the rector. Smiles can not be compared to those who will be there a few hours with the announcement of the Holy See that for boys is a liberazione.E now? No pope no party? No way, the fight continues. With or without Ratzinger. But now the targets of student protests change perspectives. They crossed the Tiber and the Vatican go directly to the buildings policy. Now the "warm" reception will be for the Minister Mussi University and the Mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni. "And 'a scandal - says Francesco - who are given billions of public funding for Catholic institutions that deal with care, support and training. Mussi and Veltroni above we will still have to explain why in two years there have been significant steps in terms of funding for public universities and research. "also confirmed all the appointments of the" anti-clerical week ". "Frocessione" included. The march will start Thursday at 12 from Piazzale Aldo Moro and parade through the streets of San Lorenzo to "lay bare" say the organizers, "the Vatican's homophobia and misogyny." Because "not enough, the Pope out of Wisdom, we want out of our lives."

Pope descends from the chair: canceled visit to La Sapienza
article Eleonora Martini taken from the "manifesto" of January 16, 2008

Rome. "Following the well-known events of recent days in connection with the Holy Father's visit to the University of Rome La Sapienza, who at the invitation of the Rector would have to occur Thursday, January 17, it was decided to postpone the event. The Holy Father will send, however, the planned intervention. " It is the bare statement of the Vatican press office, but the effect is explosive in the Italian political world. And inevitably the telluric waves propagate inside the campus of Rome, by investing in particular the 67 teachers of the Physics Department who had criticized the invitation of the Rector but never support the protests students. But the decision has been taken Ratzinger seems more a problem of image and personal security, at least according to Interior Minister Amato. The Pope was "the subject of a gravissi mo rejection that occurs close cultural intolerance and undemocratic," charged in a statement Cei. Besides, how could the Holy Father appear in front of television around the world as one that raged outside the Great Hall of the Italian bishops call the "ideological violence and brawling a few"? The hope of the Presidency of the CEI is that the university can get back to normal "by restoring the cultural and educational function of the University." A blow to the Rector Renato Guarini who had hoped until the last, despite rumors that they were running for a couple of days and took it for possible twist. Then all day yesterday, Guarini was brokered with the students, meeting spaces and promising them so as not to see amplified and politicized their protest. Useless. When he learns to night "with regret" the news gives way to the temptation to point the finger at "some teachers who I call" bad teachers "." "The meeting with the Pope - reads the note from the Rector - could represent an important moment of reflection for believers and nonbelievers on ethical issues and civil rights, such as commitment to the abolition of the death penalty." The "Bad teachers" but do not rejoice even though many people consider "wise" decision of the Pope in particular, Marcello Cini, argued that the columns of the first manifesto of dissent with Guarini.

" I know that we have been branded as intolerant and we will be branded as extremists - says Cini - but I can only reiterate that the university is a community of scholars based on their gender debate of the issues more varied. Whoever owned this place for dialogue industry has every right to also support the thesis of the Pope and all my respect. But I have always been opposed to a monologue delivered by an external authority that proclaims itself the repository of absolute truth .

"The misconduct was invited - adds Giorgio Parisi, one of the 67 signatories - what happened next is the result of what we defined a" visit incongruous "." "Incredible though - Parisi claims - that the Vatican discovered only two days before the visit of Pope dissent and protest." "Very happy," the Pope's decision to waive the inauguration of the academic year is also the physical Andrea Frova, author of "Word of Galileo," which, translated into several languages, addresses the issue of relations between science and religion. Frova is among those who had "Agree with the arguments of Cini but not his ideological positions" and is keen to point out that politically far from obvious. "By expressing our point of view we have not done anything but respond to one of our civic duty. We were then exploited by politicians, the media and also by students. I find it unworthy of a democratic country occupations and protests that bring the university to the climate of the '70s. " But it is not repentant, Frova, "It does not matter now if the Pope's speech will be distributed and read by someone, it is important to demonstrate that the Italians are not all equal. Some people do not bow before the Pope IPS dixit. "


Wisdom: the "no pope" did not give up

(article by Stefano Milani - taken from the "manifesto" of January 15, 2008)

"Fra 'Giordano is burned, Galileo recanted. We will remain against the Papacy! No Pope. " The huge banner hoisted at the entrance of Wisdom is the personal "welcome" that academics have prepared a Roman Benedict XVI during his visit Thursday. And this is just the appetizer. For the rest Just take a ride inside the campus, all carpeted for the opportunity to playbills, posters and stickers against the uninvited guest. Was not spared even the Minerva statue, symbol of the Roman, covered by another sign which reads: "Knowledge needs neither fathers nor priests for knowledge, a science and a secular university." We read not for long, probably. The square is in transformation. Within two days the entire area will be off-limits to students and curious. And the reclamation work is well advanced. The tapes already surround the entire perimeter and signs warn "zone closed to parking on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17. The workers are to work from the early hours of yesterday so that everything runs smoothly. New asphalt, whitewashed walls, sidewalks, stucco, elbow grease to remove the black from the steps that lead straight to an assembly hall. "Which is all the pope must shine," says a scavenger ridendo.Gli students, for now, observe distant busy to develop the organizers of the "anti-clerical week" officially started yesterday with a lot of room "anti-pope" of bread, pork and wine. Alongside the students, even some teachers and almost all representatives of the collectives and associations of left Udu, Cobas, Action, Left critical Uaar, coordinating collective network for self-protection, coordination "Let's breakthrough," the collective of feminists' Sui generis', 'The apple of Eve, "" The ribelulle. But the membership increased from hour to ora.Il billboard of events is very dense. There will be projections on the life of Galileo, a mixture of student-teachers meetings, debates about evolution and creationism. All Thursday and waiting for the arrival of the pontiff. That day will begin early, 9 am, with flyers and principals in all faculties. Then comes the turn of 'the chapel sbattesimo university' students in clerical garb bless the audience with liters of vin santo. At noon, the protest will move out by the University where the volume will rise to the maximum for the 'siege sound. " At 14 and will suffer the "frocessione against the rights denied," march organized by the LGBT collective protest against a Pope "the bearer of dogma against the freedom of scientific thought and against the free circulation of knowledge ', which will cross the nearby district of San Lorenzo to return to the square of the Minerva, where the comedian Andrea Rivera will give its personal keynote. "We organized this day of protest in a very peaceful, creative and communicative," says George of the collective of Physics, one of the organizers of the protest, ensuring that "there will be moments of tension." Only 'complaints Minutes "at the pope, but also to the Minister for Universities and Research Mussi (" against the selection mechanisms for a real right to study) and from Rome's mayor Walter Veltroni ("for the security package and its security policies. ") At the university chapel air we breathe but completely different. Some guys are busy cleaning the interior of the church in view of the papal blessing. With them the activists of "Militia Christi" and "Communion and Liberation who are organizing a counter-protest on Thursday, the protesters .


Marcello Cini's letter to the Chancellor

This is the letter sent by Marcello Cini during the month of November 2007 to the Rector Renato Guarini, on the visit of Pope Benedict XVI at the University, the visit had been arranged for January 17, 2008. Later, dozens of other professors have signed (the end of the article you can 'read the letter of support to Cini that they wrote) and in January about 700 professors have endorsed the content.

* If Wisdom calls the Pope to leave home *

Mussi Marcello Cini

Mr. Rector, I learn from a memorandum dated November 1 AGI news agency that says, "is changed program of the inauguration 705esimo the Academic Year University of Rome La Sapienza, which initially included the presence of minister Mussi LectioMagistralis to listen to Pope Benedict XVI. " The pope "will be, but after the opening ceremony, and the Minister Fabio Mussi University instead there will be no more." As a professor emeritus of the University La Sapienza - resort in recent days fifty years after my call to join the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at the suggestion of physical Edoardo Amaldi, Giorgio Salvini, Enrico Persico - I can not esprimerepubblicamente my indignation at your proposal, communicated to the Senate on October 23, clumsily repaired later with a patch that tries to hide the hole and at the same time it bears the majority of the political objective and the media. Not comment on the sad fact that you have been elected with the decisive contribution of a secular electorate. A Catholic Democrat - all represented by the example of Oscar Luigi Scalfaro nelcorso of his seven-year presidency of the Republic - would never dream of forgetting that since September 20, 1870 Rome is no longer the capital of the Papal States. I shall focus instead on the incredible breach of the traditional autonomy of universities - more than 705 years incarnated in the world by His Wisdom iniziativa.Sul formal plan, first of all. Although in the first centuries after the founding of universities theology has been taught alongside the humanities, philosophy, mathematics and natural, is not yesterday that this discipline is no more trace in the modern universities, at least in those states' public non-denominational. I do not know the status of the University of Regensburg, where Professor Ratzinger gave the keynote note which I shall discuss later, but I insist that as a rule it is only part of the religious instruction given in universities.
The themes that were the subject of the studies of Professor Ratzinger, however, should not fall under the topics of a lesson, much less of a keynote, held in a university the Italian Republic. Especially if one considers that, since the time of Descartes, was reached to end the conflict between knowledge and faith culminated in the condemnation of Galileo by the Holy Office, a division of spheres of competence between the Academy and Church. His blatant violation of the academic year during the inauguration of La Sapienza was regarded in the world as a step back in time three hundred years and more. On the substantive

then the implications would be even more devastating. Consider them starting right from the text of the keynote of Professor Ratzinger in Regensburg, from which presumably would not have deviated much that of Rome. In it is it clear that the policy of the papacy of Benedict XVI is based on the thesis that the division of the respective spheres of competence between faith and knowledge is no longer valid. "Deep ... it is - I quote - the encounter between faith and reason, between genuine enlightenment and religione.Partendo the very heart of Christian faith and, at the same time, the nature of greek thought now joined to faith, Manuel II was able to say: Not to act "with logos" is contrary to God's nature. "Do not insist on the dangers of this program in terms of politics and culture: just think of the reaction in the Muslim world that there would dall'accenno the difference between the Christian God and Allah - attributed to supposed rationality of the first in comparison to the unpredictable irrationality of the second - which would in turn gave rise to the meekness of the Christian and Islamic violence. It takes a lot of courage to support this view and hide under the mat the Crusades, the pogroms against the Jews, the extermination of the natives of the Americas, the slave trade, the stakes of the Christians have given the world. Here I am interested, however, that this encounter between faith and reason, a conception of science as follows ambitiparziali a broader and more general rational knowledge which they should be subordinate. "The reason for its modern natural science - in fact, concluded the Pope - with the inherent his Platonic element bears within itself a question which transcends all the possibilities of its methodology. It simply has to accept the rational structure of matter and the correspondence between our spirit and the prevailing rational structures of nature as a matter of fact, which is based on its methodology. But the question (why this did datodi) exists and needs to be remanded by the natural sciences to other modes and planes of thought - to philosophy and theology. For philosophy and, in a different way, for theology, listening to the grandiesperienze and beliefs of the religious traditions of humanity, especially that of the Christian faith is a source of knowledge, and to ignore it in would be an unacceptable restriction of our listening and responding. "
Beyond these circumlocutions design shows that in his new role, the former head of the Holy Office did not forget the task that traditionally compete in it. That's always been and continues to be the expropriation of the sphere of the sacred inherent in the depth of feelings and emotions of every human being by an institution claiming the exclusivity of mediation between the human and the divino.Un 'ownership that ignores and demeans the many different historical and geographical forms of this sphere so intimate and delicate without respect for personal dignity and integrity of each, however, changed individuo.Ha strategy. No longer able to use stakes and corporal punishment has learned from Ulysses. He used the effigy of the Goddess of Enlightenment Reason as a Trojan horse to enter the citadel of scientific knowledge and put it in line. I am not exaggerating. What is more, just as an example, the explicit support of the pope gave to the so-called theory of Intelligent Design but the attempt - led among others by a clumsy denial of the historical evidence, a gross distortion of the contents of internal disputes the scientific community and the old trick of caricature of the positions of the opponent - to bring the science under the pseudo-rational dogmas of the religion? And how they should react colleagues biologists and their students face a more or less indirect attack on the Darwinian theory of biological evolution that underlies all over the world of modern evolutionary biology? I can not understand, therefore, the reasons for your proposal so improvident and detrimental to the image of La Sapienza in the world. The result of his initiative, even in watered down form the Pope's visit (with "a salute to the university community) after an inauguration illegal inevitably will, however, that the newspapers of the day dopotitoleranno (you can not expect much going for the subtle ): "The Pope opens academic year at La Sapienza University." Congratulations, Mr. Rector. The His portrait will be next to those of his predecessors as a symbol of the autonomy of culture and progress of science.


The letter of support to Marcello Cini

Rome November 23, 2007

Rector, with these few lines wishes to note that we fully share the point of critical Mr Marcello Cini who addressed the press about the staggering initiative involving the intervention of Pope Benedict XVI at the inauguration of the Academic Sapienza.Nulla to add to the arguments of Cini, except for one thing. On March 15, 1990, still Cardinal, in a speech in the city of Parma, Joseph Ratzinger has taken a statement by Feyerabend: "At the time of Galileo the Church remained much more faithful to reason than Galileo himself. Ilprocesso against Galileo was reasonable and fair. " These words, as scientists faithful to reason and as teachers who dedicate their lives to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge, offend us and we umiliano.In name of secularism of science and culture and respect of our University open to teachers and students of all faiths and of all ideologies, we hope that the incongruous event can still be canceled. The dutiful

we send greetings,

Letter Requesting Cosigner

coffee

This year for Christmas dinner we chose the restaurant where we got married, the Alameda a place where we always be sure to taste the prepared dishes from our area with passion and served with due care and attention.
After a lunch to our expectations, came into the pastry room with a fabulous cake, measuring 1 meter by 3, which was very good then, a puff pastry with a soft cream with coffee and white chocolate flakes.

Of course when we got home, I did not wait to try to replicate it my way, and what better time of New Year's Eve dinner?
I had never had a puff pastry but with the help of the puff pastry ready I must say it was very easy, and it was delicious.


E 'much longer to describe than to do, because you can divide the work into two days, the first
prepare meringue disks of pastry and pastry cream,
the second you add the cream to the cream, then made the cake and put in the freezer a few hours before
decorates the dinner and storing in the refrigerator.

meringue disc :
egg whites 140 g sugar 280 g
lemon juice

Mount (but not completely) the egg whites with a little 'of lemon juice.
Add a bit 'at a time, half the sugar by filling the frame. Embed
hand the remaining sugar.
On a sheet of baking paper bag with a few print a hard, not too often, from the center and continuing to spiral to form a circle 26 cm in diameter. With the remaining meringue to make
of elements which are then crushed to cover the cake.
Bake valve open (ie with a pot holder that keeps it a bit 'open) at 120 ° until it begins to change color, it will take at least half an hour, then lower the temperature at 85-90 degrees and continue cooking until it is completely dry.

2 puff pastry: Cut the

2 rolls of pastry discs of 26 cm. in diameter and prick well with a fork so that not too swell.

Put it in the microwave at 750W and lead to boil, stirring well every 2 minutes.

soon removed from the oven to add at least 3 tablespoons of instant coffee (to be precise in everything I put 8 teaspoons).

Cool, then stir in the plane from the bottom up 400 g of whipped cream.

Mounts sweet :
is trimmed to bring the three discs the same diameter,
then, using a mobile circle and then starting from the bottom of the cake:

- meringue disk
- layer of coffee cream - disc of puff pastry - layer of coffee cream
-
disc of puff pastry - thin layer of coffee cream
I then put in freezer for half a day so it compacts well and facilitate the work of decoration. It decorates

:
I put the cake on serving plate and removed the metal rim,
I smeared the good little cream remaining on the edges of the cake.

well I crumbled pastry scraps and used them to cover the edge.
I cut the lines of getting the meringue crumbs I used to cover the surface of the cake.
dusted with ground coffee.

I had white chocolate, which otherwise would have been put in scales on each layer of cream.

E 'since before Christmas that we do not publish anything
all this time we rested, we started to do some' shopping for the baby and to free up some 'space for future bedroom that was our fitness-studio-workshop-dressing, but do not worry we also have fun experimenting with new dishes in the kitchen.
Now, however, be patient, as expected Thursday, December 20, I proposed again here to bring recipes of biscuits worth mentioning Christmas in 2007 so do not forget next year and they absolutely have to post them. I am definitely
my favorites, unfortunately I finished the last
last night and were it not that the scale threatens me every morning I would start already this evening to knead.



260 gr flour 170 gr butter 00
100 gr icing sugar 80 g flour
hazelnuts or almonds
2 egg yolks 1 pinch of cinnamon
grated rind of 1 lemon
the juice of half a lemon 1 pinch of salt




Apricot jam Powdered sugar Lemon juice

Make a crust as usual with the first group of ingredients should be mixed first
sugar over butter and spices, formed when
of crumbs then add the flour and egg yolks.
Dial a rectangular loaf dish sealed with plastic wrap, so to stretch it to fit later.
Put it in the fridge to rest for at least half a day but for a few days.
Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 3 mm.
With a star-shaped cutter to cut biscuits and a half of them cut out the center, place on parchment paper and bake at 180-200 degrees.
Cool the cookies.

Then prepare a glaze with powdered sugar and a few drops of lemon and a few drops of water if the lemon is too sour.

The icing should run well, but not too runny.
Brush the biscuits with half of the "hole" with this glaze to dry and place on grill.
