Mentioned in this video:
Ingredients
* 1 heaped cup shelled unsalted pistachios (150g)
* ¾ cup whole milk (190ml)
* 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (30g)
* 3.5 oz white chocolate (100g/about 1 cup)
* 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (icing sugar)
Instructions
* Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil and add the shelled pistachios. Let them boil for 4 minutes then drain them and place them on a clean kitchen towel.
* Fold the towel over and rub the pistachios in the towel to loosen the skins. Separate the pistachios for the skins and discard them.
* Add the pistachios to a food processor with only ¼ cup (80ml) of the milk and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Blitz for around 5 minutes until the pistachios turn into a smooth paste. You’ll need to stop the processor 3-4 times to scrape down the sides. You’ll notice the pistachio turn into crumbs first then it should form into a ball when it’s reached the paste stage.
* Put the remaining milk (½ cup/125ml), butter and white chocolate in a clean saucepan and heat on a low heat until melted, set aside.
* Transfer the pistachio paste to a blender and pour in the white chocolate mixture. Blitz until extra smooth and creamy (you can adjust the consistency with more milk if desired (there’s no need to heat the milk up first).
* The pistachio cream will keep well in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Our Story:
We are Carissa, Iwan & Frankie the sausage dog, and in 2020 decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month we were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call home. We picked up Albi, Joao and Simao the cats along the way, as well as Diogo the podengo and a flock of chickens.
Subscribe to follow our project as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

Your home is so much more suited to offering you proper shelter this fall. What a difference! We built our small home to be both on or off-grid. Jim and I burn wood, both with a 1930 kitchen wood stove and a 2016 air tight stove in the basement, with propane back up. We tied into the grid and I appreciate the convenience, however we can be all right if a winter storm takes out the power. ~ Diane

I love your property. It looks so homey and inviting. You've worked hard to make it what it is. The good thing about the weather is you don't have a burning ban. Granted we've had a number of large forest fires in recent years, but that's the nature of lightning storms in the mountains. If your laying cement, keep a plastic sheet/tarp handy to throw over the wet cement. Pour your cement, level it, and throw the tarp over it. As long as air can get under to help let the cement harden and dry, you'll be fine. Rule of thumb: if you're getting soaked, give it up.

Panettone needs to be cooled upside down to stop it collapsing on itself. Push a couple of skewers into the sides so that you can flip the bread and rest the skewer ends on something so it’s ‘suspended’. It’s quite tricky to make at home but we love it so am interested to see how you get on with the pistachio cream. We have a similar craving for a tiramisu panettone we had a few years ago😊

I'm very jealous of your rain. Although it's true that we are able to get ahead with stone work, we have masses of brush trimmings that need to be burnt and it is just too dry (and windy.) This is the second year that we haven't had the usual downpours in November and the water table is way down. Strange, that everywhere else seems to be flooding! Except for a narrow strip along the Mediterranean... Oh well, back to watering the plants and building stone walls!

IIRC, the problem with pouring concrete in the rain is that the rain may get into the setting concrete, making parts of your mix much wetter than you wanted; &/or that it may wash some of the concrete away, leaving you with pockets of too much sand & gravel (unless it washes the sand away, too...). I *think* you'd be fine to pour if you had some way to keep the rainwater & runoff out of your work, but please verify that elsewhere first.

Oh wow, so understandable as to why the authorities have to be notified of any 'bonfires'. What with the eucaplyptus alone, never mind the slightly wet olive branches.......quite a fire! Wish we had such regulations in South Africa (although, sadly, would not curb the arsonists). We are just entering our summer fire season and I fear this one is going to be a doozy. As you mentioned, its always good for the soil and regeneration of plant life, but, devastating for the wild animals.

@HelenRullesteg 6 месяцев назад
I don't particularly like writing not positive comments, but I'm really not a fan of all this burning of tree prunings. Yes, you get potash of which you'll need about 10g per square metre of veg garden. Do a google search and almost all of the hits will say that composting is much much better than burning, especially because of the pollution caused by all this burning. Farmers used to burn excess straw, but this was banned years ago exactly because of all the CO2 it releases into the air. Even if you cannot chip all your prunings, stacking them and leaving them to rot down will not only eventually give you great compost but also serves as a great habitat for wildlife while they are decomposing. Just my two cents here. Loved the shots of the salamander, they are such pretty animals.

Thanks for the comment. If we were in Wales then we could have done that.. it’s not permitted to have piles of wood or garden waste here because of fire risks in the summer.. it’s quite common for normal compost piles to ignite here. There are plenty of positive reasons to use fires in the garden, especially as our soil is so bad. So I think we’ll focus on those rather than the negatives.

Lovely video! What is the music while you're chopping logs towards the end? It is heart-wrenchingly beautiful. You have a real talent for combining sound and image. It's a delicate delight. Thanks once again for sharing a little slice of your life.

It’s called Spring Equinox by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen. So beautiful isn’t it!

I have followed your channel for quite a while. So seeing that well and attempting to close it off, you would have to seal up every opening because if any animal were to fall in there and die you could never use that water and you could never get it out. Just saying. Watching from Central Florida.

Charles Dowding no-dig method or Hügel method might be a good way to prepare your soil. It will be hot and dry in summer in your region. Like here mid-France. Makes vegatable plot more drought resistant

Another beautiful video. You should consider compiling some of these for an extra long slow video for meditation and bedtime. ❤❤ ❤
