2 Eggs (Mayonnaise Recipe)



I get fresh eggs every day, thanks to my lovely hens. Their eggs look and smell differently than the bought-ones. Did you know that one hen can produce up to 800 eggs. Angela (white-one, pictured) produced around 500 eggs by now, and is still laying. If an egg is $0.25, that means I got worth of $125 of fresh organic eggs from her only. Thanks Angela!

Zahvaljujuci mojim dragim kokama, imam svjeza jaja svaki dan. Njihova jaja izgledaju i mirisu drugacije od kupovnih. Jeste li znali da jedna koka nosilja moze proizvesti do 800 jaja za svog zivotnog vijeka? Andjela (bijela na slici) je dosad snijela oko 500 jaja i jos nosi. Vrijednost od $125 u svjezim organskim jajima sam do sada samo od nje dobila. Hvala Andjela!



Now... what we can do with 2 eggs? A lot!
Let's make mayonnaise and some decorations for cakes!

E, sad...sta mozemo napraviti od 2 jaja? Mnogo!
Majonez i dekoracije za kolace!


Mayonnaise



Ingredients:
2 egg yolks, room temp
1/2 lemon, juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup light olive (or vegetable) oil
Pinch of salt
1 tsp Dijon (or German) mustard
1 tbs hot water (optional)
Method:
Place egg yellows in a small bowl. Whisk with electric mixer, adding drop by drop of oil until well mixed. This is important to do, otherwise mayonnaise might not turn well. When 1/4 of all oil is mixed, then you can pour the rest slowly. Add salt and lemon juice, whisking all the time. Check the taste, add mustard and hot water if mayonnaise look too thick. Spoon mayonnaise in a jar and keep refrigerated up to 10 days.

Majoneza

Sastojci:
2 zumanca, sobne temp
1/2 limuna, sok
1/2 solje maslinovog ulja
1/2 solje nekog drugog blagog ulja
prstohvat soli
1 k blagog senfa
1 K vrele vode (po potrebi)
Nacin:
Stavite zumanca u manju posudu. Miksajte ih sa najvecom brzinom, dodavajuci kap po kap ulja dok se ne umijesa komletno. Ovo je vazno, jer ako naglo naspete ulje majoneza nece uspjeti. Tek kada zavrsite umiksavanje 1/4 ulja, onda mozete usuti ulje u tankom mlazu. Dodajte so i limunov sok, mijesajuci stalno. Provjerite ukus, ubacite senf i vrelu vodu ako vam se majonez ucini pregustim. Smjestite ga u ciste tegle i drzite u frizideru do 10 dana

Decorations for Cakes


Ingredients:
2 egg whites
8 tbs icing sugar
food colour
Method:
Whisk egg whites until soft peak forms. Add icing sugar teaspoon by teaspoon, whisking all the time. Add food colour and continue mixing until you get very thick foam. Prepare a baking tin lined with al -foil. Place meringue into piping bag. Form desired shapes onto foil. Place tins in 100*C oven and dry shapes for 1 hour. Take out and let it cool completely; then store in a container for up to 3 months.

Ukrasi za kolače

Potrebno:
2 bjelanca
8 K secera u prahu
prehrambena boja
Nacin:
Umutite bjelanca u snijeg, zatim pocnite dodavati kasicicu po kasicicu secera. Dodajte zeljenu boju i umutite u veoma cvrst snijeg. Istisnite oblike na al foliju i susite ukrase 1 sat na 100*C. Ohladite ih dobro prije smjestanja u kontejner. Cuvati na suhom i hladnom mjestu do 3 mjeseca

    А вот яйца в основном едим не домашние, а добытые в магазине(((

  3. Bravo za Andjelu! E to je velika ušteda naročito što su organska jaja. Sećam se kad je dr u Americi rekao mojoj mami da pod tačkom razno ne daje kupovna jaja iz supermarketa mom bratu od 2g, a organska su tada koštala preko dolar.
