I know many of you are in Winter season and that's fine.
But let me tell you that here we have a terrible summer with very high temperatures (and coming from years of drought) the other day I read that we are just from the countries most affected by the climate change that has caused by all of us who should take care of our planet.
We dont have other.
It is a fact that the Antartic poles that have the largest water reserves have decreased.
That's why I'm worried about the extreme heat.
Today we have 38,3 °C (100,94° F)
Im waiting by my autumn!
Moving to another point I always cook or bake at any time or season because is my core, my life motiv!
So I made these cakes of chocolate and black sesame that had the recipe saved a long time ago.
Absolutely delicious. They can be made in small loafs or in a long one.
BTW black sesame is really healthy you can read here about it.
Here the twins and hubby liked them a lot.
Well I send hugs and take care.

Here we all love lemon curd and this recipe fascinates everyone. Seriously.
I also like that it is mixed with Greek yogurt and it is delicious and lighter, on top you can bring strawberries or raspberries. I use some fresh and other frozen. No problem.
You can eat for breakfast or dessert, delicious.
This is the typical dessert that can be made at any season of the year depending on the fruits you have (I keep freezing cherries)
Hugs for all !! and thanks by be there dears!

The mixture willbe thin but the whisked is the key so be sure to whisk after each heating.
Microwave again for 30 seconds and remove and whisk again.
Repeat this 3 more times until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Once the mixture is thickened and creamy like custard allow it to cool.

Finally I can make another post, having everything ready could not.
Of course Christmas was a mess (as always) and also my camera from one day to another did not work anymore.
Thank God and my family (hubby) who gift me a new one.
(Is a Canon too)
It's better than the other one but I had to learn to use it.
My kids helped me of course and I can do it myself.
I think these are the last cherries of the season but Im frozen someones in small bags to use when we do not have cherries.
In any case, this clafouti can be made with frozen cherries or cherries in a jar. It is just as good.
Clafoutis are really simple and delicious!
