Early Summer Bounties

Just about when we gave up, the summer seems to have finally arrived in the UK. I was in (very) sunny Sardinia recently, and it was sad to see my tan fading since I got back… I had a great…

Petits ramequins pain d’épice abricot

Après quelques recettes salées, il fallait bien un peu de douceur pour laisser derrière moi les jours difficiles de ces dernières semaines. Quelques abricots dans ma corbeille pourraient bien s’accorder à merveille avec un peu de pain d’épice. L’acidité de l’abricot marié aux épices me semblait prometteur. Alors pourquoi ne pas tester. C’est comme ça, en faisant avec ce que l’on a sous la main, que la magie opère parfois…
Ces minis Duralex, trouvés lors de ma dernière balade à Paris et passant très bien au four, sont parfaits. Mais vous pouvez aussi utiliser des pots de yaourts en verre, une façon de recycler…

Ingrédients : 125 g de pain d’épice – 60 g d’amandes moulues grossièrement – 250 g d’abricots coupez en 8 – 10 cl de crème – 10 cl de lait – 4 oeufs – 60 g de sucre

Mettez les amandes dans une poêle avec 2 CS de sucre et faites caraméliser à sec, réservez. Coupez le pain d’épice en petit dés de 1 cm. Dans un récipient battez les oeufs, puis ajoutez tous les ingrédients. Remuez délicatement et versez dans les ramequins en veillant que les abricots soient bien répartis. Placez au four préchauffé à 200° pendant 25 mn. Le temps de cuisson dépend de la contenance de vos ramequins. Le mélange doit rester moelleux. À déguster encore tiède, vous pouvez même les accompagner d’un peu de crème anglaise.

Petite balade méditerranéenne… "filtrée"… charme désuet ! une fois n’est pas coutume…

hello monsoon

yes it’s that time of the year again; the month-long monsoon has officially arrived. well, so they say – every year they (the national meteorological agency? not sure really…) “declare” the start of the rainy season, and they did so a few days ago for tokyo and most other areas of the country. then we’ve had this wonderfully sunny and dry weather (with occasional showers, admittedly, but

Dear Local Strawberries

Welcome. I know you’ve had a busy few months, filling mouths and jam jars and making appearances at countless local festivals on your annual (and no doubt tiring) trek north, but I want to thank you all the same for stopping here and spending some time with us in Germany. We had one hell of a winter, and not too nice of a spring either, so your little sweet scarlet orbs of sunshine are really just what the doctor ordered – or would be if doctors here were in the habit of prescribing fruit (which I actually think they should be, but that’s a discussion for another time). If you want to know the truth, there were times when it was just the promise of your visit that got me out of bed in the morning, particularly when, day after day, the only things to be found in the markets were every bit as brown and colorless as the landscape around them. I know that some people got so desperate they even fell victim to the temptations of your early-season impostors, you know, your monstrous white-shouldered cousins that fly in before you each year from places like Spain and Morocco where they seemingly like to grow things without flavor. But not me; I knew it was worth waiting for you, and even when you failed to arrive on schedule a couple of weeks ago, I knew you’d come eventually. You always do.

Cherries and Poppies — Le temps des cerises et des coquelicots

Hello everyone,

France did not leave me empty handed. I found fields full of poppies, grass with beautiful shades of green and cherry trees carrying bright fruit. I found back the French countryside I love so much.

We’ve just returned to the States. After an amazing trip, being able to see Irish and French family and friends. But we’ve also had to suddenly face and deal with a sad and painful event of life.

Soon, I will be back. When my energy is back and my spirit cheered.

A bientôt…

Share and Enjoy:

Get this game: the amazing anamorphics of Looksley’s Line Up

Looksley’s Line Up [Nintendo, DSiWare] It must’ve been just coincidence that Nintendo released head-tracking downloadable game Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda (Hidden 3D Image: There It Is!) in Japan just weeks before going on to announce its actual 3D DS followup, still codenamed the 3DS, especially with the confusion that followed, where many thought the demonstration video above was for the latter. By now we know the forthcoming handheld’s 3D will have little to do with tracking technology, but Looksley’s Line Up (as Attakoreda has now been released as in the U.S.) still might’ve made a nice showcase title for the new tech….

Report: Pentagon launches “manhunt” for Wikileaks founder. Founder: “Yoo-hoo, I’m in Vegas!”

In the Daily Beast today, Philip Shenon reports the Pentagon has launched a “manhunt” for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has… just announced he’ll be in Vegas tonight. Huh? The Defense Department is upset at Wikileaks and Assange for publishing a number of secret and sensitive documents, and the “Collateral Murder” video. The big fear now, according to reports, is that Assange has access to up to 260,000 classified State Department cables leaked by 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist Bradley Manning (now jailed in Kuwait after being outed by hacker Adrian Lamo). From The Daily Beast: The cables, which date back over several years, went out over interagency computer networks available to the Army and contained information related to American diplomatic and intelligence efforts in the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, the diplomat said. American officials would not discuss the methods being used to find Assange, nor would they say if they had information to suggest where he is now. “We’d like to know where he is; we’d like his cooperation in this,” one U.S. official said of Assange. Unless this tweet from Wikileaks (presumably Assange himself) is a diversion, if there is a manhunt they won’t have to look far. The whole thing is feeling very Spy Vs. Spy at this point. It should be said that at this time, I have no way of verifying whether there is indeed a “Pentagon manhunt” for Assange, nor can I verify that he’s in Vegas, nor do I know that the whole matter of 260,000 cables existing is real. A “manhunt,” for all I know, could be one guy with a dot-gov email, not a vast, coordinated effort with all laser-guns blazing. But again, we don’t know. Related: Wired News reports more on the contents of the chat sessions between Manning and Lamo, who turned over Manning to the government. There’s some really key stuff in the transcripts—one incident in particular, about being asked to “[evaluate] the arrest of 15 Iraqis rounded up by the Iraqi Federal Police for printing ‘anti Iraq’ literature”—all of which sheds light on why Manning may have been motivated to do what he is alleged to have done (and why he may have been compelled to unload his troubles to a stranger, Lamo, who then outed him). Everything started slipping after that. I saw things differently. I had always questioned the [way] things worked, and investigated to find the truth. But that was a point where I was a part of something. I was actively involved in something that I was completely against. Wired News (and Adrian Lamo) report alleged Wikileaks "Collateral … Wikileaks/Manning: "Are America's foreign policy secrets about to … Iraq: Wikileaks video of US military killing journalists…

A compendium of essential world knowledge on back page of “Fun for Boys”

Mister Jalopy writes on Dinosaurs and Robots: Fun for Boys includes a chapter on moneymaking enterprises such as raising pigeons for profit. However, the gold of the book is not the text but is the list of other Padell titles. It appears a library stocked with the full selection would be a sort of compendium of essential world knowledge.
