bread cake . In memory of Rosie

When I first read about Rosie I couldn't believe it. 

I still have some difficulties to comprehend.

it was logical, natural, obvious that I wanted to participate on Rosie's Memorial Day,

organized by my dear friend Ivy at kopiaste.org.

Here in this Beautiful Post

 In Memory of Rosie 

Ivy  tells you about Rosie, her illness and why we do this together.

Sad News

 giving us the sad news about her dear friend that has passed away.

It hurts.

Rosie,e was among the first non Italian blogger I known.

She, Susan at Wild Yeast and  Zorra at 1x umrühren bitte

actually I never managed to learn name of her blog " Baking Cakes Galore"

for me she was, will always be

 Rosie from "rosie makes a "peace" of cake"

I loved that name of her blog.

and she was my very very first host of an event.

putting up

I was so nervous, I sent her 4 recipes

I was blogging since 5months so everything was so new, almost complicated.

Rosie was so sweet, she emailed me and together we decided which recipe to put.

since then now and then I stopped by at here blog, smiling over all those sweet things

she baked.

she was a lovely person. will miss you Rosie.

Since my daughter Helena was found allergic to white sugar, 

yeast and lots of other ingredients,

5 years ago.

I had to change completely my baking cakes.

this is one of our favorites recipe.

you regain old bread, it is healty and also very energy giving.

perfect at breakfast or at a break in the afternoon after study or doing sports.

I take it with me on my trekking, 

together with some tea and beautiful panoramas

makes the fatigue worth it.

the recipe is from a dear friend, Laura met at one of the old town festivals in this area.

I adore these festivals, you get to know the inhabitants and you can learn so much from them,

specially the old people. they can tell you stories about the villages, the mountain and their lives.

I love listening to them.
