NEW YEAR IN SPAIN : BELL, GRAPES AND A HUGE FIESTA ON THE SQUARE "PUERTA DEL SOL IN MADRID

bell on Madrid's Puerta del Sol

SPAIN LIVE - Of all the year, in New Year's Eve, suffer the Spaniards odd number of choking. And it was only right that foreigners who venture recklessly into a English New Year's Eve celebration. The reason is that custom, which requires the last twelve chimes of the year at midnight in seconds twelve grapes in the throat to throw.

Like thousands of people in this community "Grape Swallow" suddenly struggling for air, can best be seen in the heart of Madrid. On that central square called the "Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun) on which is incidentally the zero kilometer mark of the English national roads meet in Madrid on New Year's Eve all over the country's biggest party.

Although the police blocked the entrances as soon as push tens of thousands of people like sardines in that place which once adorned with a medieval town gate, the passenger opened the way to the east. But the rest of the more than three million people of Madrid and in fact celebrates the nation swallows and then on television. For the mega-New Year's Eve celebration at the "Puerta del Sol" is transmitted directly to all television and radio channels.

watches over the place, the decorative buildings of the Royal Post Office "in the 18th Century, which now resides, the regional government of Madrid. And the top of the town clock tower that is located along with powerful bell that claim to the Kingdom of the tone and time. Therefore rigid about 40 million Spaniards and now five million immigrants living in the country on New Year's Eve banned this movement.

If the last moments of start of the year, then count the bells of the most famous Spain's the countdown clock until the start of the new year. Every three seconds a chime with the 45 million people on a cluster command in the wide-open mouth to throw quickly and choke down. The stroke of midnight, with the twelfth stroke, the twelfth grape stuck in the neck - but not as stuck.

claimed only thanks to this ordeal, the popular belief, the new year and the desired happiness, good health and great windfall. "Lucky grapes" these edible saviors are fittingly called. Thus, the grape game does not end with a health disaster, the distance between the bells was a precaution by order of the official Customs guards specially extended to three seconds.

The wonderful custom that allegedly thought up the wine in a year with slumping sales, has developed the way a big business: More than 500 million grapes are sold in Spain at the end. As a fresh product. Or for convenience Fiesta friends in small tins. Ready peeled and seeded grapes to torture to make palatable. No wonder that manufacturers have the grapes before popping the champagne New Year's Eve. Ralph Schulze

PROPERTY IN SPAIN: AFFORDABLE HOMES AND APARTMENTS FOR SALE OR LEASE - TO DECLINE THE PRICES

sale in Spain (image: Schulze)

SPAIN LIVE - orange, red, yellow, white - all colors of Spain's screams down facades "Se vende - For sale," it says on countless plastic signs that hang from fences, balconies and balustrades. A forest of quotes that reflect the full extent of the English real estate crisis, which has Spain's economy for three years in a stranglehold, and that is far from over. A crash which that uncontrolled building boom in recent decades followed, had driven the prices and real estate stocks to dizzying heights.

Immobilienfiesta is now Spain's past, the industry woke up with a painful hangover, is in many places even before the disaster. "The real estate market is down," says one troubled savings bank branch manager, who will call his name rather not, because his institute miscalculated. This is certainly not a bad time for interested parties, to look under the southern sun for a property, the man says on average, the prices slipped since the crisis began in late 2007 at least 20 percent - and they could tumble further.

Hardly an apartment building where a quote does not stick. In making settlements as well as in working class areas. In Mallorca, the Canary Islands and the Costa Blanca. In the English capital Madrid in the province. The deep freezing the construction and real estate market has led to the now hundreds of thousands of apartments and villas throughout the country for sale. Sometimes literally be sold off with huge discounts.

For one of the builders who are left with a real estate mountain. By many private owners, which the water in the economic crisis up to his neck. Their loans can not pay more, with a bailout To escape the debt trap. And of the financial institutions that need to be found after the bankruptcy of thousands of construction companies and brokers as well as the seizure defaulting mortgage payers as soon as possible new owners for the amounts collected real property in order to consolidate their budgets out of whack.

You have to scroll only once the Internet portals of the famous English savings bank Caixa "," Caja Madrid ", Caja Mediterraneo or the Mallorcan Institute" Sa Nostra "to get an idea of the final selling mood," Until to 60 percent cheaper, "" Now is the best time to buy "to lure the Institute. Or: "In the past 350,000 euros now 210,000 euros", "100-percent financing".

But this is only the official site. The unofficial, is that the customer in times of crisis - available in many homes, but few are sold - again king. And so the bargaining is great. "Make us your Best", attracted about the "Caixa" in the event that the customer the "38 percent discount for a 88 square meter flat in the center of the capital should be not enough.

for dream villas on the beach, luxury apartments Sea view and vacation homes in good locations, prices fall, however not as to slide. There are discounts, but significantly less. This also applies to the popular holiday island of Mallorca, where, although bargains are also waiting, but this spread is not quite as wide, is because in the vacation paradise of the market a little less broken than elsewhere. However, in the Balearic Islands, which include Mallorca more Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera are available, nearly empty 50,000 residential properties.

throughout Spain are currently an estimated one million homes for sale - maybe even more. According to a study of Internet real estate portal "pisos.com" moves the price range of provision currently 15000-15 million euros. For 15,000 about a small village house for restoration in the northern English region of Rioja red wine would have. For 15 million is a 2600 square foot luxury villa on the outskirts of the capital Madrid.

But given the high unemployment, currently at 20 percent in Spain and sensitive loss of income in most families, most Spaniards feel at present little desire to plunge into a real estate adventure. Meanwhile, the demand of visitors from other European countries, especially for real estate on the coasts, sharply.

way: Do not buy only those who have a chance to find good deals. The long-term rental of real estate can be interesting. More and more items are offered for "rent with option to buy later." Thousands of vacant apartments and chalets on the Mediterranean coast by the owners in some cases even in such favorable offered to residents that this is Spain and foreign friends to buy an alternative worthy of consideration - and also relatively risk-free.

Number Of Possible Combination

surprise cream in Hippe basket

This is not about my new stove, but to be swept dough to Hippe mass. This popular toy for all gourmet cooks, is unfortunately a bit out of fashion. It tastes good and it looks extremely out decorative.

I took me a few attempts to make friends around me with the dough. But because my ambition was called and after several failed batches, I managed to bake the dough not only, no shape, even, what would be the real purpose of this action.

So first of all to Hippe mass :

ingredients for about 10 cups:

• 25 g butter


• 25 g icing sugar


• 25 g flour


• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder or 1 teaspoon marmalade (it could be another jam to be)


• 25 g protein

1. I melt the butter and pour into a mixing bowl. There, I mix it with the icing sugar.


2. Now I weigh the egg and stir it with a hand mixer in the butter. The result is a bright little tough mix.


3. If I use cocoa powder, I mix it with the flour and stir well to this. In Orange marmalade is stirred into the flour and then the Jam.


4. Now the dough rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, I turn the oven to 200 ° hot air.
   
5. then I paint with a spatula (it is very soft silicone, which is better) circles on the baking paper and bake them until the Teigränder a little browned, which takes almost exactly 4 minutes.
   
6. Now comes the part that I always managed to be made. When I took the sheet from the oven, Stack dough circles should be formed as quickly as possible. I have always at least two before the forms were then frozen and nothing with basket, but slices:)




7. So I devised a method that is less stressful. I leave the sheet in the oven. This keeps the soft dough disks and I get out one after the slices with a spatula or a spatula and roll it. In this case, I Push back, with the baked side down, over small glasses upside down, press gently with the oven gloves on until they are rigid. It is very fast. Now they just need to be filled.
   
   

For this dessert I have chestnut mass, which I had frozen, mixed with whipped cream, powdered sugar and some vanilla extract. You may also use any other creams, but also ice. I

on the plate I pomegranate seeds used for decoration taste, also very great with it.

This is not a landed UFO, but my deco help. It is made of silicone and can be heated to 260 °. I melt the chocolate in a sealed DECOpen with little coconut oil to make it liquid, set on the right sleeve


syringe and decorations on the plates.

Small chestnut heart I had already prepared.

You would not believe it, but the orange marmalade tasted it and it fits perfectly with the chestnut cream.

I wish you Happy holidays with the tree of which I will tell you another time.

The salt in the soup - boiled beef with salsa verde

the Angels already buzzing around us and the pre-Christmas mood is spreading rapidly.

It is now time for stews and soups. Arthur's daughter has thrown a question in the blogging world, I would like to dedicate another post.

When will that salted meat soup?

The question assumes that I cook different soups for different purposes and salts at a different time.

Opinions differ there. Maybe there is no uniform Rule. I can only tell you how I do it, handle after years of testing.

is principle, it is whether I meat that I cook in the soup, that will eat or not. Then you can still be decisive if I want to freeze the soup.

For me, the rule is the soup, means to an end, so I cook it because I want to eat the meat, I salt them, at which time I will get to later. The meat will be added otherwise bland, add salt later no longer the same effect. I cook soup, the soup because I salts it until just before serving. It must be said that salted soup will not last as long as unsalted. I am already happened, that, Salted for two days was sour. If I want to freeze the soup, is also better when it is unsalted. Salt and ice do not mix well.
The big question: "When you salted soup or any kind of liquid?" is to answer the following: It is better in any case, if I salts just before the boiling point for two reasons: If I

1. salts in cold water dissolves the salt in a very difficult and it is located on the bottom of the pot. No pot the likes. Salt will never attack stainless steel, but there are ugly white patches on the ground, I just get more difficult out.


2. A physical law states that salted water later cooked, as unsalted. I salt the water just before boiling, it cooks on the spot. Petra , with her argument that it is small time differences, certainly quite right. If you become accustomed to later add salt, but this is certainly not wrong.

Now to my plate of meat. I fill the pressure cooker 3 / 4 with water, peel a carrot and a small onion, give to them. I wash stick of celery, which is also in the pot, put the lid on and just put the pot on the stove. Just before cooking the vegetable broth, I add salt, wash the meat and let it slide into the soup. The meat closes the pore and immediately turns from red to gray. Now I close the lid properly and let the pot go under pressure. However, the valve should show me only the first ring and for 20 minutes. The first ring means gentle cycle, so the meat will be tender. The valve I let go after the specified time, on its own back because I fluid at the pressure cooker will not evaporate quickly, which takes about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, I prepare the side dishes. I peel a pumpkin, seed it, cut it into wedges and put it on a tie and parchment paper baking sheet. I träufle decent olive oil over it and sprinkle finely chopped, dried rosemary on it. Now comes the sheet for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven (180 degrees) until the tips of the pumpkin is browned. Then add salt and pepper I erst.

The recipe for the salsa verde:

• 100 ml olive oil


• little parsley


• 1 clove garlic, without germ


• 2 anchovy fillets in oil


• a few basil leaves


• 1 shallot 1 teaspoon capers




• hard-boiled 1 egg 1 tablespoon lemon juice






• salt pepper

olive oil, anchovies, parsley and garlic crushed with a hand blender.

Peel shallots and peel the eggs and chop both fine with the capers and basil.

green olive sauce with the chopped, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

There are still potatoes, carrots and two small red onion, gedämpt.

the meat is buttery soft and juicy.

for a wonderful evening meal, bake a few thin omelette, cut them into strips and to this wonderful soup .... What more could you want?
