I like to put the wreath at the bottom of the baking dish and have five dough balls so they rise in a cross form before baking, but these are tiny variations among many.

Like your parents, my grandfather had a barrel with a spout, and my mother remembers him draining the rasol from the spout and pouring it back in the top. She says his rasol was always crystal clear and delicious!

They would drill a hole approx 8 inches from the bottom and put in a spout. Make sure to seal it well. You should make sure the barrel is place high enough off the ground to give you decent access to the spout so as to be able to drain the liquid out. Follow Dragana’s recipe as it’s the same. We used kosher salt and only rotated the upper layers as we had a spout which allows you to drain out the salty brine into a bucket and then pour it back into the barrel. It makes it a little easier to disperse the salt in the brine and prevent them from getting mushy and spoiling. Also when it’s ready the brine is a drink we call “rasol”, similar to pickle juice. They’d give us kids a bit to “procisti crevo” haha flush your system so to speak, I always loved the taste of rasol being a fan of anything sour!

As a veteran, and someone who still owes a debt to the United States, it was my honor and my privilege to serve the colonel and hopefully keep him comfortable and happy in the winter of his distinguished life. One thing I think I can impart to your family, the strict and rigid disciplined Colonel Harris was not the man that I knew. I never saw an inkling of that in him. He was relaxed, content, friendly, approachable, affable, always with a good sense of humor and quick with retort, and what I would describe as a true Southern gentleman's way about him. I will always feel lucky to have had the opportunity to know him. And I will never forget him. He's sort of an unforgettable man.

Pour into colander and drain well. Cool completely. <br />Grind cooked wheat berries in a meat grinder (pass through once). Set aside about 3/4 cup ground walnuts for finishing the zito. Add ground walnuts, sugar to taste, and vanilla sugar. Blend all ingredients together, using your hands, by squeezing the ground wheat with other ingredients until it's thick and pasty and delicious! Place in decorative dish and round the top. Cover zito evenly with the 3/4 cup ground walnuts you've saved and then with a generous layer of confectioner's sugar mixed with a packet of vanilla sugar.

I wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind comment about the polenta and mushroom crostini. I failed to mention in my post's recipe that I always make extra polenta for the next day to "fry" and ladle bolognese sauce over the fried polenta cages for dinner . . . the polenta has to be a day old and somewhat hardened to successfully fry. But I'll make note of that in the post and sincerely would like to thank you. I'm glad that the dinner party guests enjoyed the crostini!<br /><br />RozRoz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290313211665126528.post-25271295851235414732014-03-08T10:42:38.564-06:002014-03-08T10:42:38.564-06:00Evo mi smo pravili krofne i snimili video, pa nam ...Evo mi smo pravili krofne i snimili video, pa nam recite da li vam se svidja :)<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpjsd0pIzTcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
