<description><![CDATA[This morning for a quick breakfast my children enjoyed these delicious peanut butter banana muffin]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning for a quick breakfast my children enjoyed these delicious peanut butter banana muffins.  I got the recipe from the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061251348?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=thevergsoci-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325&#38;creativeASIN=0061251348"><strong>Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food</strong></a><strong><img style="border:none !important;margin:0 !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thevergsoci-20&#38;l=as2&#38;o=1&#38;a=0061251348" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</strong></p>
<p>These muffins had <strong>cauliflower hidden in the batter</strong>.  Here is how it works:</p>
<p>First, you steam up some cauliflower; then you puree it in a blender::</p>
<p><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-06-30.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-237" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-06-30.jpg?w=128" alt="" width="128" height="96" /></a><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-06-30_1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-238" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-06-30_1.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="140" height="141" /></a><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-06-30_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-240" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-06-30_2.jpg?w=128" alt="" width="128" height="96" /></a></p>
<p>The recipe also calls for mashed, ripe bananas--here is <strong>my trick</strong> for that: as soon as bananas in your home turn too ripe to eat, you simply throw them into the freezer!  Don't put them into a tupperware, where they will gather ice crystals.  SImply leave them in their own peel, and that peel acts as <strong>the best freezer container</strong> you can find.  When it is time to make muffins or banana bread, just microwave them or leave them on the counter top to thaw.  Here is what my bananas look like after they have been sitting in my freezer a few months:</p>
<p><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-06-30_3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-239" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-06-30_3.jpg?w=128" alt="" width="128" height="96" /></a>Notice how inside the peel, the banana is still a <strong>light, yellow color</strong>?  The peel turns all black in the freezer, but the banana is just fine.  When I freeze leftover bananas without the peels, however, the banana pulp turns black, so this is <strong>the BEST way</strong> to preserve old bananas for baking!</p>
<p>So the bananas, creamed cauliflower, and peanut butter go into this <strong>incredibly healthy batter</strong> (I love how this cookbook has me using whole grains and less sugar!).  Then I put the batter into mini muffin tins (my children have a hard time with full-sized muffins making too much mess), using a <strong>mini cookie scoop</strong> for less mess and to make them of equal size:</p>
<p><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-06-30_4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-241" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-06-30_4.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>When the muffins were done, I was pleasantly surprised to find that <strong>my children devoured them</strong>!  I couldn't taste any cauliflower in them--only peanutty yum!  :)</p>
<p><a href="http://ladonnamobile.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/2008-07-01_5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-242" src="http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/2008-07-01_5.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="mceTemp">I met two indian girls in Nizamuddin, the muslim district in Delhi... Sangeeta, 26, made me discover the indian street food.</div>
<div class="mceTemp">India Gate, Tuesday, July 8th. Découverte des "golgopan": ce sont des petits ronds creux et croustillants très fins plongés dans un jus (un peu comme la sauce du taboulé Noura) avec quelques pois-chiches. C'est servi dans une petite gamelle en aluminum. Il faut tout mettre dans la bouche d'un seul coup... C'est bon et frais. Mais un second tour arrive, puis un troisième..Jusqu'au huitième! Le tout pour 20 roupies...</div>
[wp_caption id="attachment_52" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Golgopan in India Gate"]<a href="http://marindia.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/imgp8590.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-52" src="http://marindia.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/imgp8590.jpg?w=300" alt="Golgopan in India Gate" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/wp_caption]
<div class="mceTemp">J'ai oublié de préciser que nous avions déjà diné avant, South Indian dish with rice and fish. Un plat consistant. Mais la dégustation continue. Sangeeta me parle d'un mêt qui fait la langue toute rouge! J'en veux!!</div>
[wp_caption id="attachment_53" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Stunning Pan"]<a href="http://marindia.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/imgp8591.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53" src="http://marindia.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/imgp8591.jpg?w=300" alt="Stunnig Pan" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/wp_caption]
<div class="mceTemp">Assis près d'une poubelle à India Gate, ce monsieur dispose d'une vraie boutique aux épices. Le "Pan" se prépare sur un petite feuille que je présume être de bananier. Il l'enduit d'une colle blanche sucrée avec un petit pinceau puis ajoute, une par une, les épices. Confiture de pétale de rose, curcuma, trucs croquants... Je n'ai pas tout suivi, mais il y avait au moins dix ingrédients. En image...</div>
<div class="mceTemp">
[wp_caption id="attachment_54" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Pan in India Gate"]<a href="http://marindia.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/imgp8594.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-54" src="http://marindia.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/imgp8594.jpg?w=300" alt="Pan in India Gate" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/wp_caption]
</div>
<div class="mceTemp">Non, ce n'est pas un chili-con-carne! Faite avec amour, cette petite merveille épicée est ensuite pliée en forme de triangle. On ne voit donc plus que la feuille verte. Et là: il faut tout avaler en une bouchée. Et ça n'a pas la taille d'un sushi! C'est gros comme un ravioli vert géant, évidemment la feuille est croquante, le jus m'étouffe, les épices sont coincées entres mes faibles mâchoires...</div>
<div class="mceTemp">Je vous épargne la photo de moi, cramoisie d'hilarité contenue, ne pouvant retourner le mélange dans ma bouche...</div>
<div class="mceTemp">Pour finir, Sangeeta, qui doit peser la moitié de mon poids mais semble plus endurante a envie d'un maïs...</div>
[wp_caption id="attachment_55" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Corn"]<a href="http://marindia.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/imgp8598.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-55" src="http://marindia.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/imgp8598.jpg?w=300" alt="Corn" width="300" height="225" /></a>[/wp_caption]
<div class="mceTemp">Cuit au charbon sur une plaque posée sur deux briques, le maïs a tout juste le temps de dorer avant qu'une pluie battante mette un terme à notre voyage culinaire!</div>
<div class="mceTemp">Trempées, nous prenons un rickshaw magique qui traverse la pluie pour rentrer chez nous.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>I review, yet again...</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://aakisblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/cannot-people-understand-that-i-do-not.html" target="_blank">Aaki</a> had written about '<a href="http://earthitalianlounge.com/" target="_blank">Earth</a>' a long time back, as one of 'em quaint little restaurants that serve amazing pasta. So, understandably, I was dying to go there. But as I depend on the office cab to get me home, and it leaves at 6:15 pm everyday, I couldn't really manage it... And so I frequented the Food courts and the beer serving establishments and forgot about 'Earth' until this Thursday. The place is not exactly little. It's spacious and the decor is very living-room-esque. The candle light makes everything seem gorgeous and the hues of earth surround you... So, methinks the ambience is perfect for a nice evening out. Also, it was hard to fathom why people would go there with family... it was such a waste of the utterly romantic environment the management must have worked hard to create!</p>
<p>The drinks were yummy (after a little request to the bartender). I had a peach &#38; basil martini followed by an apple &#38; cinnamon martini. Yummm. The Red Label was quite inexpensive and was consumed by him. The bread platter was quite something, and was accompanied by a lovely dip, bursting with flavours! The baked potatoes were perfect and so were the fish fingers... Unfortunately I couldn't eat anything more. For I just wanted dessert. And the Chocolate mousse is just so ridiculously delicious! It demands all your attention... It looks amazing and tastes incredible. The balance of sweet and cocoa is just right and so is the texture... very very creamy. My only problem with modern day mousse is that its not airy enough (as per traditional French cuisine), well, I don't think anyone will complain though... So dig in! And don't waste your time or money on the Gelati/Gelato. It just pales in comparison...</p>
<p>My next visit to this place will be very soon! I am dying to try out the pastas... Also, it's difficult to find places which let you be... let you enjoy and soak in the ambience... The staff is honestly very eager to please and very adorable. So go there... whenever you plan to make a trip to Gurgaon. Note: Keep in mind, I was here on a Thursday, weekends might be a tad different.</p>
<p><strong>I give it a rating of 4, for its so far away...<br />
</strong>Ambience - 5 (faint background music, very nice!)<br />
Food - 3.5<br />
Drinks - 4 (A very nice bar + bartender)<br />
Service - 5 (Well trained and they smile!)<br />
Spend - 1000+ per head (inclusive of drinks)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>'Earth' is part of the Moets group/chain and because of the very nice experience here, we decided to celebrate his birthday at '<a href="http://www.moets.com/stone.html" target="_blank">Stone</a>'. This place is very similar to 'Earth', only not as spacious (thanks to the border separating them!). It's accessible, it's pretty, it's also quite comfortable... and it's full of your average Defence colony crowd with Dad's credit cards! If you can ignore that or enjoy critiquing random strangers (I do! with my faithfuls hehe!), then you'll have a great time here. The service is decent and the drinks are better... they take less than 2 minutes to serve you a pitcher of LIIT (which is lethal!) and they make you wait forever and ever for your scotch. Yes, it's tough to understand such occurrences... but when you have a lot of alcohol and a lot of fried chicken with fried mozarella, life is beautiful! The food and drinks, as per Delhi standards, are not too expensive. The music could have been better... But for a change of place, this just might be it. Note: Friday night visits can be exceptionally different from weekday visits... book a table in advance!</p>
<p><strong>I give it a rating of 3.5<br />
</strong>Ambience - 4 (Oh, they have a DJ, he mixes!)<br />
Food - 3.5<br />
Drinks - 3.5 (The mystery of the scotch!)<br />
Service - 3.5 (Argues over lending the guests a pen!)<br />
Spend - 1000+ per head (inclusive of drinks)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lotus at JW Marriott, Mumbai<br />
</strong>The Lotus at the JW Marriott Hotel in Mumbai’s suburb of Juhu has long been a favourite eating and watering hole for all those looking for a peaceful, yet scrumptious, Sunday brunch. The Sunday ‘Champagne Brunch’ at Lotus has long been touted as one of the best in the city, and not without good reason.</p>
<p><strong>The Lure:</strong> The buffet caters to a wide range of taste buds, palates and cultures. It boasts of ‘live’ pizza, shewarma and grill counters that you can watch over while supervising the preparation of your food.

For those of you with children, worry not. The management of the hotel has arranged a slew of activities to keep them occupied and entertained; from walking-talking popular Disney characters and people to paint their faces to organised games.</p>

The Sunday Brunch at Eden Pavilion amidst distinctively modern and sleek architecture, does not only offer a blend of breakfast and lunch, but an array of award-winning culinary experiences.</p>
<p>These range from the North-West Frontier cuisine to traditional Indian delicacies, continental grills, Bengali food and many more innovative items. Says Ramesh Javvaji, Executive Chef, ITC The Sonar: “On any Sunday, you will get more than 150 items in the buffet spread and every week it keeps changing.” Sunday Brunch is also served at Pan Asian for taste buds keen on Chinese and Thai delicacies and sushi.</p>
<p>The Lure: If you land up on any Sunday during brunch time and manage a seat, don’t miss out on what the Chef recommends: Nordic Salmon Mousse, Fillet Bhetki, Kachchi Gosht Biryani, Mini Virginia Lamb and Meat Lasagna Bar-B-Q Pork.

<p><strong> Olive Beach, Delhi<br />
</strong>For all those who consider their Sundays ‘sacred’ and would love to indulge in a sinful brunch, a visit to Olive Beach is a must (if you haven’t been there, already). The extensive buffet brings alive the essence and magic of the Mediterranean coast in the expert hands of Chef Guiliano Tassinari.</p>
<p>The Lure: For the vegetarians, there is a wide selection to choose from, be it the roulade of fresh home-made bocconcini with arugula, asparagus with grana padano; or charcoalroasted mushrooms with garlic and parsley. The non-vegetarian buffet is amazing as well. Go for the Norwegian smoked salmon platter, roast chicken with sage, home cured and smoked sole or roasted lamb with red wine, baby onion and thyme. Live grill counters bring forth delectable delights ranging from jumbo prawns, to sausages, grilled fish, chicken steaks, and tenderloin steak and a selection of vegetables. Do not miss the live oysters served with traditional condiments and the live egg station. The salad bar has tempting delights with balsamic, lemon and mustard dressings on offer. A perfect way to round off will be a choice of desserts: Hot Chocolate Soufflé, Panna Cotta, Tiramisu, Tagliatelle cake, Pastiera Napoletana, fresh fruit platter, Panettone with Mascarpone, stuffed crêpes, Chocolate Petit Four and Mocha Swan Eclair.</p>

<p><strong>Citrus at Leela Palace Kempinski, Bangalore</strong><br />
The Sunday smorgasbord at the Leela Palace, Bangalore, attracts a wide variety of patrons, ranging from the yuppie techie to the older expat looking to escape the chaos of India’s IT capital. The Prie Fixe brunch is a big favourite with Bangalore’s party crowd, who tend to meander in late on Sunday morning after a hectic night out on the town on Saturday. The crowd starts building early, as young couples begin trickling in from as early as 11.30 a.m. to get the best seats at Citrus, the 24-hour coffee shop, which hosts the hotel’s brunch.</p>
<p>The place is packed by 1 p.m. So, expect to wait for 30 minutes or more if you’re late. The Lure: The massive spread is well worth the wait, with brunch-eaters offered a choice of Indian, Italian, Mediterranean and Lebanese food. A major attraction for regulars is the 16-variety dessert table, covering everything from Indian sweets to French patisseries. Another draw at the Citrus is multiple open kitchens, dishing out fresh pizza to sushi, with a chocolate dispenser (made of actual chocolate) a big hit with kids. While sparkling wine is served complimentary, the real trick may lie in tempering the drinking to help you try as much of the spread as humanly possible.</p>
<p>Price: Rs 2,000 plus taxes per head<br />
Where: 23 Airport Road, Bangalore<br />
Contact: 080-25211234<br />

<description><![CDATA[Looking for a place with great ambiance that serves fresh, gourmet dishes created from locally-grown]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for a place with great ambiance that serves fresh, gourmet dishes created from locally-grown fare for under $20? Then <a href="http://www.carafebistro.com/">Carafe</a>, a French bistro located on 200 SW Market Street could placate your discerning (and destitute) sensibilities.</p>
<p>With raffia-tied napkins and flaxen-colored walls, this bistro is my personal favorite for happy hour. I can order the heavenly lemon herbed chevre and apple Camembert crostinis on grilled baguette (<span>$1.95) to start and indulge in a main dish of </span>gnocchi <span style="cursor:pointer;"><span class="hw">gratinéed</span></span> with Gruyère and ham, hold the ham ($2.95).</p>
<p>Unlike the French counterparts, the chefs here are more than willing to make substitutions for vegetarians, and include a vegetarian version of the popular Croque Monsieur--the Croque L<span style="cursor:pointer;"><span class="hw">égumes. </span></span></p>
<p>The portions are very small, and rightfully so. Rich cheeses, butter, and cream permeate many dishes which are so satisfying that even at my most famished leave me with a takeout box in hand.</p>
<p>So, if you are looking for somewhere to gratify your appetite for French cuisine on a budget, stop by during the hours of 3:00-6:00pm for happy hour at Carafe.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The duck and chicken carcasses dangling in the windows of Hon Kee might be stomach-churning to some.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.centerstagechicago.com"></a>The duck and chicken carcasses dangling in the windows of Hon Kee might be stomach-churning to some. And menu items like chicken feet and pork stomach may seem a bit cadaverous. Yet for the Asians (Vietnamese and Filipinos) who flock here, these items are just a few of many delicacies available.</p>
<p>There are two specialties at Hon Kee: homemade rice noodles and barbecue, which reflect the background of Kwoki and Paul Tsang, father and son owners who hail from Hong Kong. Back in the old country, father Kwoki sold noodle soup on the streets, while his son cooked up barbecue. When they opened their restaurant on Argyle Street in 1980, it was about combining forces. "I wanted to continue what I started in Hong Kong," says Paul.</p>
<p>The decor is bare-boned and dingy. Wooden paneling lines the walls and the worn brown tables have seen better days. Yet the large front windows provide ample light and a lively view of locals streaming by. Retired elderly aunts and uncles from the Tsang clan linger in the front area, quietly dipping chopsticks into rice bowls.</p>
<p>Dishes are ample, if a bit unadorned. Lo mein ranges from $3.50-$7, rice plates from $4-$5.75. But if you want to get jiggy with it, try a rice noodle soup like the won ton ($3.50), made with shrimp and pork, or one of the fried rice noodle dishes ($6.50-$8.50). Noodles are thick and doughy, and drizzled with a bit of soy sauce they’re an addictive yet non-dangerous Chinese crack.</p>
<p>And don't forget the barbecue, sold up front. On average 250 pounds of duck and pork is sold each weekend. If you'd like to take home something larger, order an entire roast pig (three days in advance) for the whole family to enjoy.</p>
<p>Hon Kee is located at 1064 W. Argyle Street. This review was originally published on <a href="http://www.centerstagechicago.com">ChicagoCenterstage.com.</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently, we are all better off eating burgers, donuts, and (Thank The Goddess!) BACON than we are eating bland, unappetizing, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25590107/">farm-raised tilapia</a>.   I dislike farm-raised fish - and purchase wild varieties at Trader Joe's instead (the packages of frozen fish are a deal).</p>
<blockquote><p>Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, a potentially dangerous fatty acid combination, researchers are now saying.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers say their research revealed that farm-raised tilapia, as well as farmed catfish, "have several fatty acid characteristics that would generally be considered by the scientific community as detrimental."</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="textBodyBlack" style="text-align:left;">Perhaps farm-raised fish are to wild ones what obese, corn fed cattle are to wild bison - unhealthy facsimiles.   I doubt that <a href="http://www.tednugent.com/hunting/huntwithTed/">The Nuge</a> eats farm-raised tilapia.</p>

</strong><br />
When eating like a local, there are some things you must know.</p>
<ul>
<li>Chilli is king. As if some local dishes aren’t already spicy by themselves, Singaporeans are accustomed to accompanying their meal with a little saucer of sliced chilli in soy sauce or blended chilli spritzed with lime. You can choose not to have the chilli on the side — or ask for your food to be cooked with less chilli — if you don’t take kindly to spice, especially in Singapore’s hot weather. But what fun would that be? Go for the real deal, especially if you’re having chicken rice or prawn noodle soup.</li>
<li>Not sure what to order at the hawker centre? Take your cue from the queue! Singaporeans are always willing to wait for good food, so you can’t go wrong joining the longer line.</li>
<li>To truly enjoy Malay or Indian food, eat using your fingers (on your right hand) instead of a fork and a spoon. There are usually areas at the hawker centres for washing your hands.</li>
<li>Some local dishes make a mess, leaving stains on your clothes (especially when spices like turmeric are involved). Try not to splash or splatter, but if you do, washing with cold water and soap or soaking in water mixed with a little vinegar should get rid of the stains. It is also a good idea to carry tissue paper or wet wipes with you.</li>
<li>Depending on your preference, durians can either stink up or perfume your hands. If you absolutely have to get rid of the smell, soak your fingers in salt water.</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il fait chaud effrayant aujourd'hui et j'ai le goût de vous parler d'une recette de soupe. Folle la fille! En fait, c'est surtout le prétexte pour vous parler de ma nouvelle passion pour le régime méditéranéen, la cuisine qui le compose, les ingrédients, le mode de vie. Et quoi de mieux qu'une succulente minestrone pour entrer de plain-pied dans ce monde merveilleux rempli d'arômes et d'herbes.</p>
<p>Manger mieux, une autre de mes priorités pour les prochains mois. Enfin, pour toute la vie je l'espère!!! :-).</p>

<p>Cette minestrone contenait des haricots blancs, de la pancetta, des pâtes, des tomates, des carottes, du céleri, de l'oignon, du bouillon de poulet et de délicieuces herbes (basilic, origan, persil). J'en oublie peut-être, mais il fait chaud tout de même...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been hearing the accolades extended towards a little Korean eatery for YEARS now, but have never had the chance to personally stop into GIWA.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_x-JooYlANWA/RhV-Ey5z46I/AAAAAAAAAR8/of1iZ7sN5SU/s320/giwa+005.jpg" alt="Giwa Philadelphia" /></p>
<p>Located on Sansom Street between 16th and 17th (just a hop away from the Rooster bar) this cute streamlined cafe offers about 8 or so two-seater tables and a kitchen-adjoining bar. Red walls, deep wood and dim metal accents accompanied by lush green plants are relaxing, adding to the cosiness. The windowed storefront brings in copious sunlight making the youngish crowd shine even brighter. So make it casual, grab a stool and watch as a talented and friendly staff whips up tasty Korean food.</p>
<p>Even a person with the smallest association with Asian food will not be intimidated. I'm sure those faint-of-heart souls still exist somewhere right? Right?!?? The menu is short and simple.  Dumplings, soup, rice, and marinated meat are the standards around which the Korean fare is created. AND creative!</p>
<p>Giwa is known for it's Bibimbop; a sizzling rice bowl loaded with veggies and your choice of chicken, beef or tofu. I just couldn't see myself eating THAT MUCH rice, and believe me the portions are quite big. Also on the menu: Korean style marinated beef or Bulgogi. This delectable dish has been made personally for me by my Korean grandmother for yeaaaars now. I couldn't possibly try another's, only because I know it wouldn't measure up. Sorry, no.</p>
<p>Instead I settled on the Dak Bulgogi, a spicy marinated chicken dish with rice (I opted for multi-grain at a dollar more) a small salad and <a class="zem_slink" title="Kimchi" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi">kimchi</a>. There were many ordinary drinks to choose from, mainly soda but I chose Japanese Green Tea. My food was good, filling and healthy; all things I strive for when making a selection. I could have had the chicken a bit spicier, but Phreaked is just alllll about the hotness like that. ;)</p>
<p>I sampled a bit of my friend's beef (he ordered the traditional Bulgogi) and it was ok, not fantastic. Then again, like I said, who can measure up to Mom Mom? The more important thing was that we were just missing the lunch rush so we had a quiet place to catch up. The atmosphere was tranquil and that's why we'll be back.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pour 4 personnes : 8 gousses d'ail, 2 belles aubergines, 2 grosses tomates, 3 cuil. à soupe d'huile d'olive, sel, poivre, 1 cuil. à soupe d'herbes de Provence.</p>
<p>Pelez, dégermez puis émincez 4 gousses d'ail. Laissez les autres entières (en chemise).</p>
<p>Lavez les aubergines et fendez-les en deux dans la longueur.</p>
<p>Lavez les tomates et coupez-les en quatre.</p>
<p>Quadrillez régulièrement la chair des aubergines au couteau, en formant des croisillons, sans entamer la peau.</p>
<p>Piquez-les avec l'ail émincé en glissant profondément les éclats dans les fentes du quadrillage.</p>
<p>Faites chauffez 2 cuil. à soupe d'huile dans un wok. Disposez-y les gousses d'ail en chemise et les demi-aubergines, côté peau au-dessus.</p>
<p>Laissez-les dorer 5 mn à feu vif. Retournez-les délicatement.</p>
<p>Versez le reste de l'huile dans le wok, sans en répandre sur les légumes.</p>
<p>Ajoutez les tomates autour des aubergines. Salez et poivrez.</p>
<p>Saupoudrez le tout des herbes de Provence.</p>
<p>Baissez le feu, couvrez et laissez confire 40 mn environ.</p>
<p>Apprêtez directement dans les assiettes en disposant, à l'aide d'une large spatule, une demi-aubergine sur un lit de tomates et en plaçant une gousse d'ail sur chacune d'elles. Chaque convive la débarassera de sa peau avant de la tartiner sur les légumes.</p>
<p>Protégée par la peau, la chair des gousses d'ail cuites en chemise devient crémeuse et fondante, sans se défaire. Son goût est aussi plus subtil, moins agressif que celui de l'ail cru.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pour 4 personnes : 2 aubergines, 4 tomates, 2 gousses d'ail, un petit bouquet de cerfeuil, 2 cuil. à soupe d'huile d'olive, 30 g de farine, 1/2 cuil. à café de thym, 1/2 cuil. à café d'origan, 50g d'olives noires, sel, poivre.</p>
<p>Coupez les aubergines en rondelles sans les peler et faites-les tremper 15 mn dans l'eau froide pour ôter leur amertume.</p>
<p>Ebouillantez, pelez, épépinez et hachez les tomates.</p>
<p>Pelez et écrasez les gousses d'ail, lavez, essuyez et hachez le cerfeuil.</p>
<p>Faites chauffez l'huile à feu moyen dans une poêle.</p>
<p>Farinez les aubergines et faites-les revenir 10 mn en remuant, puis retirez-les de la poêle et tenez les au chaud.</p>
<p>Mettez les tomates hachées dans la poêle, ainsi que l'ail, le cerfeuil, le thym, l'origan et les olives.</p>
<p>Laissez réduire à feu moyen de 10 à 15 mn : la sauce doit être relativement épaisse.</p>
<p>Poivrez généreusement et salez.</p>
<p>Remettez les aubergines dans la poêle et continuez la cuisson 5 mn.</p>
<p>Servez aussitôt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pour 4 personnes : 600g de pommes de terre à chair ferme, 1 gros oignon, 150gr de chorizo, 2 cuil. à soupe d'huile d'olive, sel, poivre, 1 gousse d'ail, 1/2 bouquet de persil ciselé.</p>
<p>Pelez les pommes de terre, lavez-les, puis coupez-les en petits cubes.</p>
<p>Pelez et émincez l'oignon.</p>
<p>Coupez le chorizo en rondelles épaisses, recoupez chaque rondelles en 4 morceaux.</p>
<p>Faites chauffer l'huile dans une poêle. Quand elle commence à fumer, jetez-y les cubes de pommes de terre, les morceaux de chorizo ainsi que l'oignon émincé.</p>
<p>Faites rissoler le tout sur feu vif pendant 2 mn en remuant.</p>
<p>Salez légèrement, poivrez, mélangez puis couvrez la poêle. Baissez le feu et laissez cuire pendant 15 à 20 mn environ en remuant de temps en temps. Les pommes de terre doivent être tendres.</p>
<p>Pelez et écrasez l'ail. Ciselez le persil.</p>
<p>Ajoutez l'ail et le persil aux pommes de terre, puis mélangez.</p>
<p>Rectifiez l'assaisonnement au besoin et servez aussitôt.</p>
<p>Personnellement je remplace parfois le chorizo par des merguez coupée en morceaux de 2-3 cm.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Le basson, toujours le basson, encore le basson.
M&#8217;en allant promener sur les pages dashbordes]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Le basson, toujours le basson, encore le basson.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">M'en allant promener sur les pages dashbordesques d'un de mes autres blog, je vois que somebody est tombé sur lui en tapant ceci sur son moteur de recherche : <em>"recherche explication joue toujours trop basse au basson"</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Paf!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>"joue toujours trop <strong>basse</strong>..." </em>J'en conclus qu'il s'agit d'une fille, et qui ne quiche pas assez du bidon pour rester dans les justes hauteurs et ne pas froisser notre détective un tantinet agacé. Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait de la place pour le sarcasme dans cette petite barre de recherche, m'enfin, il demande une explication et en tant que pétasse - c'est entre les lignes - qui joue toujours trop haut, je propose  quelques explications à ces phénomènes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Partons du principe que toutes les parties du basson soient bien assemblées, c'est-à-dire aucun espace entre les branches, la culasse, le pavillon et le bocal.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">1) Si c'est un basson français, le grave est toujours trop bas, ce qui peut expliquer ceci. Il faut donc quicher.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">2) Si c'est un basson allemand c'est l'aigu qui est toujours trop bas, là aussi, on quiche.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">3) Sinon, c'est peut-être l'anche qui est trop longue, dans ce cas, il faut faire un test sur le mi 2 (médium) en l'attaquant <em>forte</em>, si il sort un demi-ton plus bas c'est que l'anche est trop longue, il faut donc la couper un peu. Si il sort juste ou presque, ne pas toucher.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">4) Ou alors, c'est peut être le bocal, dans ce cas un bocal CC1 de la marque dont nous rêvons tous (H.....) arrangera l'affaire.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">5) SI le crime a lieu dans un orchestre, il peut arriver aussi que le hautbois qui donne le La soit accordé à 445 Hz, à vérifier quand même...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">6) Si on est une pétasse, y'a rien à faire.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Turangalîlâ</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Post-blogum : message à tous les cornistes pleurnicheurs de leur terrrrible sort de cuivre  : Voyez, nous aussi on souffre, mais en silence... et en musique!</p>
