Silent vlog⎪The art of living simply on an island ⎜ Market & wooden-molded cookies 🥬 🍤 🌸

#SilentVlog #NoTalkingVlog #AestheticVlog #SlowLiving #cozyvlog Hello, Today, I’m taking you along for a morning at the market. I’m putting together some flower bouquets for the house, making a shrimp curry for lunch, and trying out something new in the kitchen with my wooden cookie molds. It’s October, and the days are slowly starting to warm up here on Reunion Island. I still love enjoying the cool morning air, taking a quick stroll through the market, and coming home with beautiful vegetables, some flowers, and ingredients for our meal. I’m also sharing my recipe for shortbread cookies with strawberry guava jelly. I had bought these wooden molds a while back and couldn't wait to try them out. The only thing left to find out was whether the patterns and colors would hold up during baking! Just a simple day, filled with home cooking and little everyday moments. If you enjoy silent vlogs, slow living, home cooking, and the simple moments of family life, I hope you’ll feel right at home here. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and share these little moments with me. See you soon for another glimpse into life on Reunion Island.

Ingredients — serves approx. 4 people 500 g peeled shrimp 2 onions 4 ripe tomatoes 4 cloves of garlic A piece of fresh ginger (approx. 2 cm) 1 teaspoon turmeric A few sprigs of thyme A few sprigs of fresh parsley 2 tablespoons oil Salt and pepper A little water Optional: a small chili pepper Preparation Thinly slice the onions and sauté them in hot oil. Add the turmeric and thyme, then stir. Dice the tomatoes finely and add them to the onions. Crush the garlic and ginger, then add them to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce. Add the shrimp and cook until just done. Add a little water if necessary and finish with fresh parsley. For a spicy kick, add the chili pepper at the end of cooking, to taste. Serve hot with rice and beans. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚬ Cookie dough recipe for wooden cookie molds 🍪 Delicately decorated cookies featuring patterns carved into wooden molds, filled with fruity guava jelly. Ingredients 250 g flour 80 g powdered sugar 125 g butter 1 egg 1 pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Guava jelly (as needed) A little flour for the molds Optional: gel food coloring Preparation Sift the flour and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the salt and the cold butter (cut into pieces). Work the mixture with your fingertips until it has a sandy texture. Incorporate the egg and vanilla, then mix until a smooth dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Lightly flour the wooden mold to make unmolding easier. Take small portions of dough, press them into the mold to imprint the patterns, then gently unmold. Add the guava jelly according to the cookie shape and the shaping method used. Baking: As a guide, bake at 180°C for about 12 to 18 minutes, keeping an eye on the color. The exact time depends on the size and thickness of the cookies. Let cool before handling. Quick tip: well-chilled dough and a properly floured mold help keep the patterns crisp and clear. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #HomeCooking #simplerecipe #simplelife
