How To Dipose Of Sperm

Lizard pirate ... and are three victories!

Day 6: Pol Folzano - Niu Lizard Ghedi 1-3

Transfer of Montichiari in that, unlike the company's name opponent, and the first away win for Niu Lizard : third win of the season thus bringing the total count of positive-negative temporarily in balance.
The first part of the race is faced with determination and authority: the point after point advantage is significant and makes it possible to close safely. We are distant relatives of those fallen in the field a week before, but still good at not losing concentration and not to give too many mistakes. 1-0
distraction, on time, returning to recur in the second set: opening handicap under which we are 0-5. Too little imprecise and, on the other hand, opponents who find more effective: a continuous tracking that stops a couple of points from the draw to see us finally capitulate with the same initial gap. 1-1
third set that is an opportunity to press the "reset" will start over again trying to put the field in which to show initially the outcome is very similar to the first part of the race. 2-1
The next is, however, significantly more balanced, fought point by point, some accomplices break too by Niu Lizard and found the spirit of premises: that is acquired only in the final advantage of terminating made the race. 3-1

Blah Blah Blah Socks For Sale

chestnuts stuffed squid with lentils



In this period are very busy and I can not turn to blogs as I want, I can not even read my post, to be honest. And 'why only Wednesday afternoon, I connected to my inbox, where I found a welcome mail: Acquaviva was in Milan and invited me to a drink that night with her , Simonetta that soon will return to Argentina, Babs and Viz.
all these beautiful people to stay in Milan or in transit? But I want to know! So I readily accepted the invitation and just before I was 18 in front of the Arco della Pace to embrace the dearest Acquaviva.
Unfortunately Babs did not feel well and Viz had a mishap with the work, but it was a great pleasure to know the other two and I was immediately enveloped by an atmosphere of cheerful familiarity. It came out a full-blown rogue Bars with gossip, anecdotes and laughter with the advantage which, being a cold and foggy Wednesday night, we had the entire room at our disposal throughout the evening.
Jap bee was followed by a dinner at which, unfortunately Simon was unable to attend, and that was amazing. We were joined by a friend of Acquaviva, who took us from Tomoyoshi . I only know Japanese cuisine with sushi and sashimi, but under the expert guidance of Acquaviva we tasted

- tartare salad with sorrel
- eggplant stuffed with roe and marinated yuzu

- Seared Tuna tomatoes with sesame
- grilled tuna cheek
- shabu shabu beef
- nigiri sushi: sorrel with ginger, shrimp seared with flying fish roe, marinated tuna, seared tuna with yuzu, the fifth I can not remember ( + gunkan of sea urchin eggs and boiled egg)
- Bavarian mango with raspberry coulis, ice cream with zabaglione sauce + mou.


At shabu shabu we burst out laughing was very similar to one of the cabbage rolls that she has submitted for MTChallenge!!
not tell you the sorry figure I made with bamboo sticks: the few times I went at the Japanese restaurant, after a clumsy attempt I always asked the western cutlery, but this time I was stubborn to use chopsticks from start to finish under the astonished eyes of the talented chefs, too polite to express his surprise with the mimicry of the face . Instead I wanted to laugh at one point I exclaimed, "the next time my grandchildren are complaining about the correct way to hold cutlery, woodpecker sticks in their hands and then we'll see."
A pleasant evening that ended too soon and I hope replicas.

And now we're going to scrap the (st) reindeer. There happens to be advanced some portion of lentils boiled? Unless did not have frozen at this time have made a mold, but I think it is worth preparing to cook from scratch these delicious stuffed squid.



SQUID STUFFED WITH LENTILS

From The Gourmet leftovers - A. Bay, F. Guatteri - Touring publisher




Serves 4 people - 30 minutes


400 g squid
1 portion boiled lentils
(½ cup white wine - my addition)
10 g parsley 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
(1 clove of garlic - they the indicate the ingredients, in my opinion is too strong and he can do without)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
(if you like, 1 / 2 teaspoon of curry or turmeric-only)
salt


Peel the parsley, wash, dry and chop. Finely chop the clove of garlic, if you want to use (I have used the first time and I think that is too strong, and I liked it more the second version, without garlic). In a bowl
gather lentils, parsley, (garlic), (turmeric or curry powder), sesame seeds and breadcrumbs. Adjust salt.
Clean squid emptying pockets, removing the cartilage, eyes and beaks and depriving them of the skin.
Chop the tentacles and add to the mixture of lentils.
With the aid of a sac-a-few throwaway stuff the squid without cluttering up: shrink during cooking and risk of bursting.
close with a toothpick and put them in a large saucepan on low walls, a layer of extra virgin olive oil. I I've added half a glass of white wine because it inspired me. :-D
low heat and braise them in a covered pan for about 8 minutes (more if they were bigger), turning halfway through cooking.
They can be served hot or cold.
This preparation can be made with other vegetables: beans, chickpeas, broad beans and peas.
(I published the picture of the whole squid stuffed because it does not tell you what I thought ...:-D)





PS: I apologize for the confusion of text and photos: Blogger is making a fuss for some time :-( I had written the text in the right sequence. Perhaps, however, thanks to Blogger invent a new literary style. ;-)

Microwave Plastic Study

Mini Japanese cheesecake from the heart of soft pistachio

You know when you put in motion a machine not just been built:-D after a night sleeping rough in the heart of 'winter? It may happen that turns on the first try, but it's more likely you will need several attempts. At the beginning so does a spit-spit and off, then spit-spit last a bit 'longer and finally, if you have patience and perseverance (or if you absolutely must go to work that morning), the machine turns on and the engine roars triumphantly, in the the crushing weight of our foot on the accelerator a bit 'more to do not turn off, as if afraid to unplug the respirator.

See, my charm works exactly the same way. I mean, you know?
Here, however, be a premise. My fascination has always worked great with men twenty years older than me, exactly the age that I do not care. Sometimes it worked well with men much younger than me, that girl I was interested in even less, because these are minors or adults only, and now it is less problematic, but within certain limits.
short, all this to tell that the engine of my charm, I thought that after years dead and buried, is doing some shyly spit-spit. It is not yet fully operational, it is clear, but some faint signs of life is beginning to give it.

The first signs have taken place last January 6 last year, traditionally with the friends we make on the Befane Calata Genoa, organized by the indefatigable Alessandra . We are for an aperitif, chatter and laughter, then all the tubs at the restaurant where we expect a meal exquisitely prepared by Chef Corrado Carpi, then we move to the home of Alex gives us the coup de grace with some its wonders (among other things, this year there were kisses Courtesan), then you go home.

Then on January 6 in the late afternoon, I accommodated on the Genoa-Milan train back home, and I promptly fell asleep. My sleep was punctuated by many micro awakenings caused by my neighbor across the mobile phone, a boy under 30 years close romanaccio spoke: "They are annato circumspect 'a lot ... ecchettedevodì is vintage as vintage ... Eccerto, so' ssur train, I will 'ddu hours between arrival mmezza ...". Arrived in Milan romanaccio asked me how to get "a co Ccascina Hump 'to' meters', so I told him to come with me, I went in the same direction. Two words exchanged and the time to get on the train asked me if we could "vedecce quarche vvolta and bBER quarcosa 'nzieme. The request took me off guard but I was saved from the subway: it was not mine, he had to go that were in the aspects and there was no time to exchange phone numbers.

I had completely forgotten the episode until last night, returning from work. I have an hour's subway before arriving at the office and uses it to read. I climb on the bus that would take me home - are currently the only passenger - as I always greet the driver and he told me: "In my experience of women (!) Where they always have a book in hand means that I'm single. "
I looked up, surprise, and that Qquesto vvòle? And since the love of reading is an indicator of lonely hearts? It 'exactly at that moment that I was back in mind the incident of January 6 and I told myself that at least age as we were approaching.
spit-spit-spit ...
am confident that between now and year-end engine is going in full swing, I'll keep you updated. :-D

Another recipe from past editions of ' MTChallenge for a simple reason: as a rule in January, I eat a lot of cabbage and the wonderful recipes from the various participants have enticed me further, but could not publish at the time verzifere my preparations for obvious reasons (but I assure you are not completely live up to yours), I go to old glories of the past.

MINI HEART SOFT JAPANESE CHEESECAKE PISTACHIO


"But I coulis I'm forced to put on him? I could not put it in? "

This was wondering, while the zebra cake in the oven and I was preparing the ganache.
said than done here is my second proposal for the MT Challenge No 3, with a few minor variations of procedure.



For 5 cakes made with disposable cupcake molds:


80 g Philadelphia

2 eggs 40 g milk 35 g butter

35 g self raising flour
6 g wheat starch

40 g sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice
seeds ½ vanilla bean


For the pistachio heart:



300 g milk 50 g pistachio paste *
a spoonful of wheat starch
2 tablespoons sugar
half vanilla bean seeded
a pinch of salt

* I bought in Sicily in the form of bread, similar to what is used to make almond milk, was destined to milk pistachio. You can substitute whipping cream with pistachio nuts unsalted deprived of their skins, and grind into a cream.




Prepare the heart of pistachio :
Heat the milk with a piece of vanilla bean seeded: the flavor remains but is less intense. Dissolve the pistachio paste, starch and sugar and put on the fire, stirring constantly until a thick cream. Let it cool and put the cream in a silicone mold from 24 hemispheres, which will subsequently be put in the freezer.
The creamy sauce I got palliduccio color, too bad: I would have preferred a deeper green.


Prepare the cakes:
Grease the muffin cups, disposable and preheat the oven to 160 ° C.
Dissolve in water bath Philadelphia, butter and milk, resulting in a smooth creamy sauce.
Allow to cool slightly and add egg yolks, lemon juice, flour and starch, sifted together, salt and half the sugar, mixing well.
Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar mixture and combine it with delicacy.
Pour into baking cups, each 3 tablespoons of dough, then lay over a scoop of pistachio cream frozen obtained by joining two hemispheres, and over this pour one tablespoon of dough.
Put in the oven by placing the cups in a pan with water that arrives at a height of two fingers, and bake for 30 minutes.
Garnish with a dusting of cocoa and a bit of chopped pistachios.

With this recipe to participate Catherine Contest, Green gold of Sicily.
