What to do with an unwanted celery #2

We still had bigger part of the celery and I found a recipe for soup. This is kind of soup that we call " chłodnik" here in Poland. " Chłodnik" means I think " cooler" and it is something like gazpacho that you serve it from the fridge.

The base is chicken stock and you need also celery, leeks ( white parts), potatoes. In the recipe they say to get one cream 22% fat and a few table spoons of heavy cream 36%. This is typical for recipes in Poland that everything is very fat. So I added not 22% cream but 12% instead and it was very creamy and good enough . I added 36% heavy cream too. 

It turned out to be very yummy as cooler, with chopped tomato and fresh chives on top. Then I tried to simmer it to be warm but not cooked of course.

It was even better warm with fried small bread crumbs on top
 

What to do with an unwanted celery #1

One day I received this celery from a person who took one part from it and then she did not need more. This is big and you cannot buy just one part/twig, only the whole celery. And I am from those who really suffer much when food is wasted. Obviously I accepted this celery and I baked this gorgeous tart ( very fattening)

So this is not a food blog and I am not presenting the recipe. If you want me to I will in the comment. You firstly prepared typical dough for a savory tart. I baked mine in this casserole lid.

This is my pajama and yes we were eating it in the night and this is unhealty but I sometimes do it

The top is very yummy - organic milk, pecans, celery, gouda cheese and blue cheese Lazur. This is Polish cheese quite good I use it quite often.

 And the next day I prepared also soup from the rest of the celery

Walking together

I do respect doggies and since I adopted Nina I am doing my best for her. I feed her right and simply I do not accept any cruel jokes about her or about her and me. I show her food or how she is strolling to spread love for dogs and to make it stronger. I think any stupid joke or comment that hurt the author is easy to delete. I have decided to post in English because in Poland agressive comments and bullying are very common. So I need some comfort and I want to get some fun from all this blogging. I do not want to sit and think " Should I delete this or not?" This is spring now and we were walking together here in the neighbourhood. Nina does not want to walk for long. She likes to be close to the house or sometimes we go to the shopping mall but it is also close.

We do not know how old is she. The fourth Gotcha Day is coming in July. She deserves the bestest meals and she has it. She has been also on medication for more than two years. I must buy it in Czechia. In Poland only vets are selling it and is easier and cheaper to buy it from Czechia, Germany or many other countries. 
 

The kitchen news #1

I had minced turkey meat in my fridge so I fried these small coutlets/balls and also I prepared cooked meat for my dog in the steamer. ( I have a gorgeous steamer which I bought very cheap during some charity auction for cats). 

I cooked organic basmati rice too.

This is also very simply and yummy salad created by myself. I bought an organic pasta with lowered price. The expiry date is long but I guess people do not like the shape. ( People are often weird when it comes to organic food. I know it well because I was keeping a shop with organic food). This is funny pasta with animal shapes and is dedicated to kiddos. I think it also goes very good with salad.
