<description><![CDATA[A cozinha coreana é exótica (leia-se apimentada e condimentada) e definitivamente não é para inician]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A cozinha coreana é exótica (leia-se apimentada e condimentada) e definitivamente não é para iniciantes. Mas cito aqui o básico do ABC dela. Tenho um pouco de preguiça para abordar esse tema e há milhares de fontes com informações muito mais claras e apuradas. No entanto, sinto que compartilhar esse tipo de repertório trivial e turístico se faz necessário para apreciar as representações e simbologias presentes em outras áreas, como arte e design.</p>
<p>Os mais conhecidos e prostituídos aos ocidentais são o <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibimbap"><strong>Dolsot Bibimbap</strong></a>, <a href="http://tudogostoso.uol.com.br/receita/16988-carne-agri-doce-burgogui.html"><strong>Bulgogui</strong></a> e <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi"><strong>Kimtchi</strong></a>. Há outros pratos tão clichês quanto estes, mas os citados acima compõem a tríade equivalente a arroz com feijão e farofa, churrasco e vinagrete – exatamente nessa ordem. Não é nada excepcional, mas honestinho o suficiente para enganar o gringo como a grande representação da culinária nacional.</p>
<p><em>Dolsot bibimbap</em> é uma variação de <em>Bibimpap</em>. <em>Dolsot</em> quer dizer &#8216;pote de pedra&#8217;, portanto, não é nada mais que um <em>Bibimpap</em> numa cumbuca de pedra que mantém o prato aquecido por mais tempo e, conseqüentemente, mais saboroso.</p>
<p>O <em>Dolsot Bibimbap</em> tem uma aparência linda, até você misturar tudo para comer. Basicamente é uma gororoba com arroz na base, vários vegetais fatiados e refogados ( o que colore o prato), carne moída temperada no shoyu, um ovo frito no topo e deve ser temperado com óleo de gergelim e pasta de pimenta a gosto.</p>
<p><a href="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bibimbap.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-125" title="bibimbap" src="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bibimbap.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="136" /></a></p>
<p><em>Bulgogui</em> é o famoso &#8216;churrasco coreano&#8217;. Se traduzido literalmente seria &#8216;carne de fogo&#8217; – mas não tem nada de fogo nesse prato, a não ser nas versões em que você mesmo cozinha a carne na mesa. A maior parte dos ocidentais considera essa idéia incrível e ficam exageradamente empolgados, mas é apenas uma forma do restaurante poupar serviço e não ter que se preocupar com o ponto de preferência da carne. Bill Murray pergunta a Scarlett Johansson em Lost in Translation: <em>“what kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?”</em> – asian cuisine, dear.</p>
<p>É uma carne bovina cortada em fatias finíssimas, marinadas num tempero agridoce à base de shoyu e grelhadas junto a um caldo à base de carne. Esse é um prato bem iniciante, pois não contém nada de pimenta e para os coreanos tem um gostinho de infância – o caldinho que se forma ao assar a carne é normalmente utilizado pelas mães para umedecer o arroz e, elas servem às crianças aviõezinhos de ‘risotinhos’ de <em>Bulgogui</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bulgogui.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-126" title="bulgogui" src="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bulgogui.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="136" /></a></p>
<p>Finalmente o <em>Kimtchi</em>, que não é necessariamente um prato, mas um acompanhamento imprescindível em todas as refeições coreanas. É uma acelga fermentada e com muita pimenta. Na realidade nem sempre é acelga, existem diversos tipos de <em>Kimtchi</em>, feitos com nabo, cebolinha, pepino – mas o mais comum e popular é o de acelga.</p>
<p><a href="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimtchi.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-127" title="kimtchi" src="http://dejavudejavecu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimtchi.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="136" /></a></p>
<p>Três coisas que precisam ser alertadas (e que ninguém fala porque se perde o glamour):</p>
<p>1. A cozinha coreana inclui um hálito do cão, não adianta escovar os dentes nem beber leite. Se você tiver refluxo, vai sentir que a comida é do tipo que vai ficar conversando com você até o dia seguinte. Definitivamente não é uma boa opção de programa para encontros iniciais.</p>
<p>2. Se algum dia na vida você precisar comprar uma geladeira de segunda mão, jamais deve comprar uma que tenha sido utilizada por coreanos. O cheiro impregnado pelo <em>Kimtchi</em> é impossível de ser removido. Pelo cheiro você fica com a impressão de que havia um menino morto dentro dela e a solução é só jogando-a fora mesmo.</p>
<p>3. A <em>Korean Air Lines</em> oferece tarifas bastante atraentes, principalmente se você pretende viajar aos EUA. No entanto, como é de se esperar de uma companhia aérea coreana, eles costumam servir comida coreana. As baixas tarifas contemplam a tolerância ao cheiro da comida durante o vôo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Our wedding anniversary was fast approaching and I decided to surprise Erin by cooking a 7 course meal by using mushroom as my <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">main</span> secret ingredient (obviously this is heavily influenced by Iron Chef America). &#8220;So now <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">America</span> friends, with an open heart and an empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">uncle</span>: ALLEZ CUISINE!!&#8221;</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-379" title="DSC_2264" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2264.jpg" alt="Oysters - Mushroom Ceviche" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Oysters &#8211; Mushroom Ceviche</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For starters, it was freshly shucked oysters. Since I can’t go with the usual kilpatrick or mornay style, I used a ceviche instead. Hence, Oysters &#8211; Mushroom Ceviche. The ceviche actually substituted the need of lemon.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-380" title="DSC_2278" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2278.jpg" alt="Portobello Mushroom and Beef Carpaccio" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Portobello Mushroom and Beef Carpaccio</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First up for entree was &#8216;Portobello Mushroom and Beef Carpaccio&#8217;. This was really simple as everything can be pre-prepared except the rare beef. After pan frying the beef for 1 minute on each side, you will need to cut the beef as thin as possible and pound it with the back of your knife.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-381" title="DSC_2287" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2287.jpg" alt="Mushroom Soup" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Mushroom Soup</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Next was &#8216;Mushroom Soup&#8217;. This soup was unbelievably easy to make and it was made from scratch. Best served with dinner rolls but I only had multigrain bread that night. It wasn’t too bad after I toasted it.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-382" title="DSC_2300" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2300.jpg" alt="Prosciutto Wrapped Enoki Mushroom" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Prosciutto Wrapped Enoki Mushroom</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Final entree for the night was &#8216;Prosciutto Wrapped Enoki Mushroom&#8217;. This entree was improvised from a recipe I saw on a cooking channel. He made bacon wrapped asparagus instead. This was the simplest dish to make and it looked impressive.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-383" title="DSC_2314" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2314.jpg" alt="Seafood Stuffed Mushroom" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Seafood Stuffed Mushroom</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">After 3 wonderful and delicious (quoting myself) entree, the main was served. For a mushroom themed night, I can’t get away with not making stuffed mushroom as one of the dishes. Since Erin loves seafood, the stuffing I chose was seafood based. It has prawns, scallops and crab on a big flat mushroom and two little fresh mushrooms.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-384" title="DSC_2326" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2326.jpg" alt="Mushroom Seafood Risotto" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Mushroom Seafood Risotto</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My last savoury dish for the night was &#8216;Mushroom Seafood Risotto&#8221;. This took me the longest to prepare and cook. It was also my first time cooking any type of risotto but guess what, it turned out to be really nice (or maybe Erin was too nice to give me any negative comment).</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align:justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><img class="size-full wp-image-385" title="DSC_2337" src="http://edgustation.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_2337.jpg" alt="Mushroom Ice-Cream" width="500" height="332" /></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Mushroom Ice-Cream</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Last but not least, it&#8217;s dessert time. As everyone would know, using mushroom in dessert is quite impossible. Finally after a lot of researching and many hours of looking through the internet, I made &#8216;Mushroom Ice-Cream&#8217;. It&#8217;s not what you think it is. The closest I could get to match with the night&#8217;s theme was to make something that resembles a mushroom.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If I have to judge my own food, I would give myself 10/10 for every single dish because I am bias. That’s why I will leave it to Erin for constructive criticism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Well, we had a wonderful night of wonderful food with absolutely wonderful company. By the end of the night, we were as stuffed as the mushrooms. LOL!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anyone who is interested in any of the recipes, just drop me a line in the comment. I am more than happy to share it with you. It was just too long for me to type out every single one of it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Não tem muita explicação pra noite doida que foi ontem. Passei o sábado dentro de casa. Ficar dentro de casa, em Brasília, com esse sol..é pedir pra ficar se lamentando por não estar na beira da praia. Lá pelas tantas, Claudinha manda msg dizendo que vai pro bar. Tércia e eu nos mandamos!</p>
<p>Chegamos lá&#8230;nada de dona Claudia! Ok, ok&#8230;&#8221;traz uma Original&#8221;. O tempo passa. &#8220;Mais uma Original&#8221;&#8230; O bar era uma delícia, gente bonita, nós duas solteiras&#8230;</p>
<p>- Nossa, que carinha bonito. Mas não me olha.</p>
<p>- Aquele amigo dele também é uma graça. Mas também não olha.</p>
<p>Lááááá no finaaaaaaaal da noite (deles), eles pedem o telefone. E&#8230;vão embora. Como assim???? Como assim????</p>
<p>**PRIMEIRA CONSTATAÇÃO DA NOITE: &#8220;minha maquiagem não funciona como antes. Colocar mais sombra&#8221;.</p>
<p>Depois, segue a nossa noite&#8230;tem muito carinha bonito nessa Brasília, mas muito estranho também. Um deles, ficou a noite toda em cima de uma amiga minha&#8230;depois, foi embora.</p>
<p>**SEGUNDA CONSTATAÇÃO DA NOITE: &#8220;nem tudo o que parece, é. O menino lindo não gosta de menina&#8221;.</p>
<p>Segue o baile..meu telefone toca. Uhuuuuuuu! O paquerinha eterno e lindo. Logo em seguida, toca de novo. O ex-paquerinha eterno em depressão porque a namorada chifrou ele. Vai a Galega, amiga dele, consolá-lo. O outro paquerinha se irrita e dá tchau.</p>
<p>**TERCEIRA CONSTATAÇÃO DA NOITE, E MAIS IMPORTANTE: &#8220;se beber, desligue o celular. Evita que a noite seja um desastre&#8221;.</p>
<p>Pra fechar, eu, com uma fome do cão, louca por um kibe, e as gurias pedem CARPACCIO! C-A-R-P-A-C-C-I-O! Quem, em sã consciência, num boteco, pede carpaccio????</p>
<p>Agora, conversando com meu primo que mora em SP:</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<div id="_mcePaste">Gino HOO diz:</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">o cara que tava comigo caiu um tombo</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">virou duas mesas que estavam com alguns baldinhos</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">depois fomos comer um lanche</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">saimos de la (corridos) as 3 da manha</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">e, eu dormi no estacionamento do negócio</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">hj, às 7h, acordei lá ainda</div>
<p>CIOCCARI- MELHOR EM TUDO!</p>
<p>Diante disso tudo, eu só digo uma coisa:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1211" title="melia" src="http://reuniaodepauta.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/melia.jpg?w=300" alt="melia" width="300" height="231" /></p>

<description><![CDATA[La semplice ricetta che segue è classificata come un piatto tipicamente estivo, ma nella mia cucina ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La semplice ricetta che segue è classificata come un piatto tipicamente estivo, ma nella mia cucina si prepara tutto l&#8217;anno. E&#8217; adatto, in particolare, nelle giornate nelle quali si ha poco tempo per usare i fornelli o quando si hanno ospiti amanti della carne.</p>
<p>Il carpaccio di carne di vitello lo acquisto nel mio supermercato di fiducia o dal macellaio dove lo faccio affettare al minuto. Se invece non hai questa possibilità, acquista pure le confezioni pronte controllando la data di preparazione sia al massimo del giorno prima e il colore della carne sia un bel rosso vivo. La freschezza e lo spessore della carne è essenziale.</p>
<p><strong>Occorrente per 2 persone:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Rucola (a piacere)</li>
<li>Gr. 200 circa di carpaccio di vitello</li>
<li>scaglie di grana o parmigiano</li>
<li>olio (circa 20 gr )</li>
<li>sale</li>
<li>succo di mezzo limone</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Come si prepara:</strong></p>
<p>Stendere uno strato di rucola opportunamente lavata sul piatto in modo da formare un morbito letto dove adagiare le nostre fettine di carpaccio. Solitamente per il condimento mescolo in un bicchiere l&#8217;olio, il sale e il succo di limone ma a piacere possono essere tenuti separati. Cospargere leggermente, con l&#8217;auto di un cucchiaino, il carpaccio con il condimento facendo attenzione che il limone sia nella quantità giusta per poter &#8220;cucinare&#8221; la carne nel modo corretto. Guarnire con alcuni riccioli di grana o parmigiano. Tenere in frigorifero almeno 15 minuti affinchè possa marinare.</p>
<p><strong>Consigli:</strong></p>
<p>Se hai ospiti a cena puoi impiattare nel singolo piatto e in più vassoi la carne durante pomeriggio facendo però attenzione che la carne con l&#8217;aria non si secchi. Utilizza un canovaccio bagnato o una strato di pellicola trasparente. Il condimento non prima di mezz&#8217;ora dalla degustazione affichè il sale e il limone non &#8220;lessino&#8221; la carne.</p>
<p>In estate può essere servito come variante o aggiunta al prosciutto e melone. In inverno come antipasto o veloce secondo piatto acconpagnato da una selezione di formaggi.</p>
<p>Tempo di preparazione: 15 minuti</p>
<p>Tempo di marinatura: 20-30 minuti circa</p>
<p>Difficoltà: facile</p>

<p>Un&#8217; amante di pesce crudo come la sottoscritta non poteva rinuciare ad una &#8220;visitina&#8221; al ristorante Kazan Sushi di Como, in via Manzoni. Il locale, seppur piccolo, è molto curato con finiture originali giapponesi rivisitate in chiave moderna e con fiori freschi ovunque. Appena arrivati siamo stati accolti dal personale molto gentile e disponibile.</p>
<p>E&#8217; possibile scegliere alla prenotazione se occupare i tipici tavoli giapponesi &#8220;a terra&#8221; o i tavoli tradizionali all&#8217;europea. Noi abbiamo optato per quelli originali del sol levante&#8230; Scomodini direi!</p>
<p>Gli amici che  ci accompagnavano erano tutti amanti di pesce crudo a parte il solito rompiscatole di Cristian, che è stato utilizzato come &#8220;cavia&#8221; per il cibo non ittico del locale, optando per spiedini di pollo un po&#8217; troppo crudi ed un po&#8217; troppo affogati nella salsa di soia. Il riso saltato alle verdure invece è risultato essere ben cotto, squisito e con la giusta proporzione le varie verdure in esso contenute. (Evitate le bacchette per il riso, un lavoraccio!). Comunque assomiglia molto al riso alla cantonese dei ristoranti cinesi.</p>

<p>Da provare assolutamente è l&#8217;antipasto Kazan, semplicemente favoloso composto da gamberi e calamari impanati e fritti in stile tempura con salsa di soia e insalata di alghe. Quest&#8217;ultime hanno un sapore acre che contrasta molto con il fritto del pesce, una &#8220;verdura&#8221; che ho trovato croccante e gustosa. Il piatto viene servito con un purè di patate che sembra una palla di gelato al pistacchio cosparso di salsa agrodolce e del carpaccio di polipo crudo tagliato fine.</p>
<p>Obbligatoria l&#8217;Asahi: la birra tipica giapponese,  leggera e che si accompagna molto bene con pietanze a base di pesce.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-130" title="1" src="http://cenaacomo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/15.jpg" alt="1" width="500" height="200" /></p>
<p>Come secondo abbiamo optato per i YAKI SOBA spaghetti di grano saraceno saltati con verdura e gamberi, e la BARCA SPECIALE con tempura, sashimi, sushi, hossomaki, uramaki; un consiglio: scegliete la BARCA NORMALE se non vi piace la tempura.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-137" title="3" src="http://cenaacomo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/33.jpg" alt="3" width="500" height="200" /></p>
<p>Per dolce abbiamo ordinato una piadina al gelato di crema, oscena, cruda e mal presentata e tortino al cioccolato caldo: mangiabile.</p>
<p>Le dosi del Kazan Sushi sono generose, l&#8217;unico appunto da fare è la mala gestione dei tempi di consegna del cipo (come per tutti i ristoranti orientali) dove consegnano tutto al tavolo nello stesso momento limitandoti nei movimenti,  riempiendoti gli occhi per farti dimenticare la pancia.</p>
<p>Abbiamo speso 28 euro a testa compresi di acqua e birra.</p>
<p>Sul sito hanno tutto il menù ed è take way <a href="http://www.kazansushi.com">www.kazansushi.com</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sou apaixonada pelo restaurante Gula Gula. Não é exagero falar que vou jantar lá uma vez por semana hehehe</p>
<p>Um dos meus pratos preferidos é a salada surpresa. Eis os ingredientes:</p>
<p><strong>Salada Surpresa</strong></p>
<p>- 1 porção de carne para carpaccio (você pode comprar a carne cortada no mercado ou comprar o lagarto redondo, congelar e cortar fatias bem finas)</p>
<p>- 8 Tomates cereja</p>
<p>- Rúcula (no Gula Gula eles colocam muita rúcula. Coloco bastante, mas nem tanto rs)</p>
<p>- Queijo parmesão (de preferência o &#8220;faixa azul&#8221;)</p>
<p>- Azeite e sal.</p>
<p>* Lá eles colocam um molho a base de mostarda. Dá até para comprar o molho. É maravilhoso! Inclusive fiz esse prato com o molho <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Modo de preparo:</strong></p>
<p>Depois de organizar a carne e temperar com azeite e sal, colocar a rúcula, cortar o tomate ao meio e colocar espalhado no prato.Por cima jogar lascas de queijo parmesão e por fim temperar com azeite e sal.</p>
<p>Comer acompanhado de torradas <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Als Vorspeise gut geeignet oder als Zwischengericht. Kürbis muss nicht immer gekocht oder gebacken werden.<br />
für 4 Personen</p>
<p>400 Muskatkürbis (geschält)<br />
160 g Gänseschinken (Gänsebrustscheiben, fertig gekauft)<br />
1 Paprikaschote rot</p>
<p>Für die Marinade:<br />
2 cl Olivenöl<br />
2 cl Kürbiskernöl<br />
20 g Kürbiskerne<br />
10 g Ingwer<br />
2 cl süß-saure Chillisosse<br />
Salz</p>
<p>Für die Marinade werden alle Zutaten solange gemixt bis die Kerne und der Ingwer sehr klein geworden sind. Dann abschmecken, evtl. etwas Salzen.<br />
Kürbis schälen und entkernen. Danach mit dem Messer oder noch besser mit einer Aufschnittmaschine in sehr !!! dünne Scheiben schneiden. Jede einzelne Scheibe durch die Marinade ziehen, in ein passendes Gefäss legen, mit der restlichen Marinade bedecken und so ca. 2 Stunden im Kühlschrank ziehen lassen.<br />
Den Paprika in 4 gleich grosse Stücke schneiden und mit Olivenöl, Knoblauch und Rosmarin in einer Pfanne langsam von beiden Seiten braten. Danach die Haut vom Paprika abziehen, abkühlen lassen und in dünne Streifen oder lange Ecken schneiden. </p>
<p>Zum Anrichten die einzelnen Kürbisscheiben auf einem Teller verteilen. Evtl. noch etwas Marinade darüber verteilen. Nun die Paprikastreifen schön verteilen und am Ende die geräucherten Gänsebrustscheiben schön darauf arrangieren. Dazu Knoblauch-Brot-Chips (dünne Baguettscheiben mit Knoblauch einreiben und im heissen Backofen knusprig grillen) reichen. </p>
<p>Dazu einen frischen Roséwein. </p>

<p>Y además quieren que la prensa diga cosas como &#8220;han madurado&#8221; o &#8220;su sonido ha evolucionado&#8221;, y obvie que son unos perdedores. Lo cierto es que su nuevo single, My mamma said, no tiene nada que ver con el pop tan chorra que les caracteriza. En el proceso, han decidido dejarse crecer su color de pelo natural (aunque está claro que Lene ni se acuerda de cómo es), y se han puesto muy serios, muy cantautor protesta.</p>
<p>El rollo sigue siendo electrónico, y si bien la canción no está nada mal, palidece ante joyas que marcaron un antes y un después en el curso de la humanidad como Barbie girl o Dr. Jones. Suponemos que el video se lo ha dirigido algún nórdico que sigue quedando con sus colegas para ver Matrix todos los findes, pero la cosa se ha quedado en un La chica que soñaba con una cerilla y un bidón de gasolina en plan saldo. Todo en blanco o en negro, plato único de carpaccio, caras muy serias, y demasiadas arrugas alejan este tema de la colorida estupidez de antaño. Si acaso, este single contribuirá a perpetuar el comeback más ridículo (e innecesario) de todos los tiempos, solo por detrás del de New kids on the block y el de Ella baila sola.</p>
<p>Es preciso repasar los highlights:</p>
<p>- Inicio: resulta que todos los integrantes tenían el pelo del mismo color. Pues vaya. Las únicas rubias son las asistentas, que se lo están pasando de puta madre, probablemente pensado por qué no las cogerían para el video de Cartoon heroes en vez de este. No estaría de más que se pusieran a barrer, la verdad.</p>
<p>- 0:33. Plano secuencia de cucaracha varada. Como si la voz de Lene no fuera suficientemente desagradable.</p>
<p>- o:50. Plano de Labuat.</p>
<p>- 1:18. El calvo no sabía cantar en 1997, por alguna razón él cree que ahora sí.</p>
<p>- 1:26. ¿Quién se arregla tanto si lo que se va a beber es un vaso de leche?</p>
<p>- 1:33. Cara de interesante, el discurso del calvo debe ser conmovedor.</p>
<p>-1:57. &#8220;Soy fan de Evanescence&#8221;.</p>
<p>- 2:16. En serio, ¿qué sentido tenía contratar a dos doncellas para este menú?</p>
<p>- 2:27. Aqua creen que Matrix aún es tendencia.</p>
<p>-2:30. ¡Era un huevo negro!</p>
<p>- 2:50. El calvo sigue siendo el miembro más gordo del grupo. Con diferencia.</p>
<p>- 2:59. &#8220;Soy fan de Within Temptation&#8221;.</p>
<p>- 3:01. Plano de Nelly Furtado.</p>
<p>- 3:09. Ser un one-hit-wonder hace que pases mucha hambre.</p>
<p>- 3:30. &#8220;Qué harta estoy de verles la cara a estos otra vez. Yo me merecía una carrera en solitario&#8221;.</p>
<p>FIN.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://celebratingtime.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/300px-vittore_carpaccio_050_dreamofstursula.jpg?w=293" alt="300px-Vittore_Carpaccio_050_DreamofStUrsula" title="300px-Vittore_Carpaccio_050_DreamofStUrsula" width="293" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1020" />She looks so peaceful there, in Carpaccio’s <em>The Dream of St. Ursula</em>, but what the angel is telling her is pretty grisly (you really had to go through a lot to become a saint back then). Ursula was supposed to marry a prince in Brittany, so she sailed over there from England with, for some reason, 11,000 other virgins. When she got there she decided to go on a pilgrimage instead, and so all the virgins ended up in Cologne, where they were beheaded (and you can actually see their bones there, or at least a whole lot of bones, at the Basilica of St. Ursula).</p>
<p>We had a cat once who was named Ursula when we got her. This cat was so strange she must have had the same dream. She got plastered into a wall, and wouldn’t come out for three days even after we ruined the wall for her; she fell down an old coal scuttle and lived on food we lowered down till we figured out where the old entrance was. But she did uphold the legend of her name. We decided we’d introduce our children to the mystery of life by bringing in a lovely male Tuxedo cat for her to mate with, but she refused. A virgin till the end – a violent car death, but at least no beheading.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Dall’antipasto al dessert: il batterio è servito.</strong> E anche il virus o il parassita. Menù alla mano, basta ordinare: chi sceglie il «crudo», che va così di moda e sembra tanto salutare, potrebbe andare incontro a qualche brutta sorpresa. A dispetto di quello che pensano i «crudisti» (vegetariani) convinti alla Mel Gibson, Uma Thurman o Demi Moore. Ecco allora, tanto per cominciare, il classico piatto di ostriche o un più ricco plateau di coquillages con gamberi, scampi e frutti di mare.</p>
<p>Gli appassionati sanno che prima o poi qualche virus finisce fra i molluschi, ma sono anche disposti a sfidare il pericolo, sperando almeno di non prendersi un’epatite A. Adesso, però, la situazione si complica: i più grandi <strong>allevamenti di ostriche nel Sud-ovest della Francia </strong>sono <strong>contaminati da</strong> certi tipi di<strong> alghe che producono tossine pericolose </strong>anche per l’uomo.</p>
<p>E l’estate scorsa è scattato l’allarme sulla stampa francese con qualche eco persino da noi. «Tutti i <strong>cibi crudi presentano qualche rischio</strong> che le varie culture sono riuscite a superare selezionando il cibo giusto per il loro ambiente e per le loro abitudini », commenta Giovanni Ballarini, presidente dell’Accademia Italiana della Cucina: «Così in Italia si mangiano crudi gli ovuli, ma non certi altri funghi leggermente tossici che vanno cotti per inattivare quelle piccole quantità di veleno.</p>
<p><strong>I giapponesi hanno individuato i pesci per il sushi,</strong> gli altri li cuociono. I guai cominciano quando importiamo i cibi, ma non la cultura che ci sta dietro». Sushi appunto. O sashimi. <strong>Si sa che molti</strong> tipi di <strong>pesci possono essere contaminati dall’anisakis</strong>, un parassita che vive nel loro intestino e finisce poi nelle carni. <strong>Il trucco per eliminarlo c’è:</strong> basta <strong>congelare il pesce</strong> per <strong>24 ore, ma non tutti lo fanno.</strong></p>
<p>Così una tartare di tonno, un carpaccio di salmone o un piatto di alici marinate (limone e aceto non hanno alcun effetto sul parassita) potrebbero risultare particolarmente «indigesti». <strong>Soprattutto se</strong> vengono <strong>consumati in quei ristoranti cinesi</strong> che di giapponese hanno soltanto l’insegna e<strong> smerciano pesce importato chissà da dove</strong>, come tanti blitz dei Nas, i nuclei anti-sofisticazione, hanno scoperto.</p>
<p>«In passato l’anisakis era diffuso soltanto in Oriente, adesso si trova anche nel Mediterraneo », spiega Gaetano Maria Fara, direttore dell’Istituto di Igiene all’Università La Sapienza di Roma. «Questo parassita provoca, nell’uomo, dolori addominali e disturbi gastroenterici a volte gravi».</p>
<p><strong>Il tonno crudo può creare altri guai</strong>, come la cosiddetta sindrome sgombroide: «Quando il pesce <strong>non viene subito eviscerato dopo la pesca</strong>, i batteri si moltiplicano e trasformano l’istidina, un aminoacido presente nelle loro carni, in istamina che provoca disturbi simili a quelli di un’allergia: nausea, crampi addominali, mal di testa e caduta della pressione», conclude Fara.</p>
<p>Casi frequenti negli Stati Uniti, ma poco comuni in Europa e in Italia: l’Istituto Superiore di Sanità ne ha documentati alcuni, fra cui quelli di due studentesse che, nell’estate del 2005, avevano consumato insalata di tonno in un bar di Grosseto ed erano finite al pronto soccorso.</p>
<p><strong> Dai sushi-bar ai fast food,</strong> per un hamburger veloce a mezzogiorno, fino all’happy hour serale che a volte diventa cena. Così i germi «tradizionali» come le <strong>salmonelle</strong> (ne esistono più di mille tipi fra cui quella del tifo che, almeno da noi e grazie a una maggiore igiene, non fa più tante vittime come in passato) e i <strong>colibatteri</strong> (molti sono normalmente presenti nella flora batterica intestinale) si rianimano grazie ai nuovi stili alimentari.</p>
<p><strong>Il caso della studentessa americana,</strong> raccontato in prima pagina dal New York Times nei giorni scorsi, è emblematico e richiama alla memoria Sindrome fatale, uno dei più azzeccati romanzi di Robin Cook, autore di decine di medical thriller. La<strong> ventiduenne americana è rimasta paralizzata</strong> dopo essere entrata in coma per un’<strong>intossicazione da hamburger</strong> poco cotto.</p>
<p><strong>La polpetta di carne tritata era un impasto di scarti, </strong>che venivano da macelli di tutta l’America, e per di più era «al sangue». Risultato: i colibatteri non sono stati distrutti dal calore e hanno provocato l’infezione.</p>

<p>Così era capitato anche alla protagonista del libro di Cook che, nel 1999, denunciava i rischi legati a un’industria alimentare troppo disinvolta e molto poco rispettosa delle leggi: anche la figlia del dottor Regis viene avvelenata dall’E.coli dell’hamburger e muore.</p>
<p><strong>Lo stesso batterio</strong>, l’E.coli O157:H7, si è anche rivelato <strong>colpevole di una misteriosa epidemia</strong> di tossinfezioni che, nel 2006, aveva colpito quasi duecento persone in 26 Stati americani, con due morti: quella volta il germe si era nascosto negli spinaci freschi. In un altro caso, che aveva coinvolto la catena di fast food Taco Bell, si trovava, invece, nella lattuga preconfezionata.</p>
<p>Da noi, per fortuna, la diffusione di questo germe è bassissima, mentre sono più comuni altri tipi di colibatteri, meno pericolosi, e le salmonelle. Primo indiziato, nel caso di una tossinfezione alimentare da salmonelle, è sempre l’uovo crudo che si ritrova dappertutto: nella maionese delle tartine servite con l’aperitivo e, per finire, nel tiramisù.</p>

<p>Young food, young staff and young customers.</p>
<p>Vapiano shows that&#8217;s still space for improvements in the pizza X pasta bussiness.</p>
<p>The young vibe is a recipe for success and the fresh herbs garden is the best idea that I saw in the last few years.</p>
<p>You can choose your favorite fresh herb from the vase in front of you.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss the candies in the way out and the carpaccio is more than correct.</p>
<p>Congratulations to the Chef!</p>

<description><![CDATA[We have been trying a few different local rape seed oils and now have a favourite &#8211; Metcalfes ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We have been trying a few different local rape seed oils and now have a favourite &#8211; Metcalfes Yorkshire Extra Virgin Coldpressed Rape Seed Oil from Stephen Metcalfe&#8217;s Farm near York, a beautiful rich yellow oil with a nutty, earthy taste, fantastic in dressings or for cooking due to the much higher burn point of rape seed oil over olive oil.</p>
<p>Buy ready bottled in kilner style flip top bottles or the eco option is you buy an empty bottle and fill yourself from the bulk 5 litre bottle, which makes it very economical.</p>
<div id="attachment_1019" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 221px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1019" title="rapeseedoil2" src="http://paganum.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/rapeseedoil2.jpg?w=211" alt="Yorkshire Rape Seed Oil in Kilner Bottles" width="211" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Yorkshire Rape Seed Oil in Kilner Bottles</p></div>
<p>Yorkshire Rapeseed oil is high in Omega 3 &#38; Omega 6, contains half the saturated fat of Olive Oil is high in unsaturated fat and low in saturated fats.  This oil is just cold pressed, filtered and bottled on the farm, no heat or chemicals are used.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">A few Rape seed oil fact &#38; figures:-</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>excellent for dipping, dressings, stir frying, marinating and roasting</li>
<li>very high burn point makes it ideal for cooking</li>
<li>high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (89%)</li>
<li>lowest saturated fat content of any oil</li>
<li>contains natural vitamin E</li>
<li>cold pressed to retain full flavour and natural goodness</li>
<li>rich   in Omega 3, 6 &#38; 9</li>
<li>half the saturated fat of olive oil</li>
<li>no artificial additives</li>
</ul>
<p>We tested out the oil on a few local friends &#38; chefs with some great feedback, recipes and suggestions.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s great for baking! cakes baked with rapeseed oil &#8211; taste good, stay moist, longer shelf life than butter + dairyfree from <a href="http://twitter.com/katethebake">@katethebake</a></p>
<p>and from an old work colleague Simon a recipe for beef carpaccio:-</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Beef Carpaccio Ingredients</strong></span><br />
100g/3.5oz beef fillet, very finely sliced<br />
2 tsp Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil<br />
Pinch rock salt<br />
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce<br />
2 sprigs fresh thyme, to garnish<br />
For the herb salad:<br />
Large handful fresh mixed herbs, such as basil, chervil, parsley, coriander (leaves only)<br />
1 tsp Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil<br />
Dash soy sauce</p>
<p>Method for the beef carpaccio, place the beef slices between two sheets of cling film and lay on a work surface. Flatten out the beef slices using a meat mallet or rolling pin until very thin, then place onto a serving plate.<br />
Place the Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil, salt and Worcestershire sauce into a bowl and mix well.<br />
Drizzle over the beef slices and garnish with the thyme.</p>
<p>Method for the herb salad, place the herbs into a bowl, drizzle over the Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil mix add soy sauce and stir well.</p>
<p>To serve, place the herbs onto the plate with the beef carpaccio.</p>
<p>Extra virgin rape seed oil is available from <a title="Paganum Online Farm Shop" href="http://www.paganum.co.uk" target="_blank">Paganum Online Farm Shop</a> in refillable Kilner Bottles in a variety of sizes, 1 Litre, 500ml &#38; 250ml and in bulk 5 Litre Bottles to refill the kilner bottles or your own oil bottle.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_1245" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 388px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1245" title="411west" src="http://foodstalkers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/411west.jpg" alt="411 west, chapel hill ©411" width="378" height="384" /><p class="wp-caption-text">411 west, chapel hill ©411</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Our family met in Chapel Hill over the weekend to celebrate Mom&#8217;s birthday. The location—<a href="http://411west.com/" target="_blank">411 West</a> (located at 411 West Franklin Street) was her choice, and it happens to be one of my absolute favorites. People more familiar with Raleigh know <a href="http://www.518west.com/" target="_blank">518</a>, located in Glenwood South. That&#8217;s 411&#8217;s sister restaurant. They have <em>nearly</em> identical menus, with one very important exception. And it&#8217;s one that I&#8217;ll drive to Chapel Hill for. Beef Carpaccio. More on this later&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Have you ever considered what you would eat if you <em>knew </em>when your last meal would be? I&#8217;m a food-centric person. So I ask this not to be morbid, but to be idealistic. My meal the other night at 411, and what I get there every time, would qualify as an ideal last supper. First, it&#8217;s in one of the most beautiful towns in the country. The atmosphere and company is lively and bright. And the food is filling and delicious. And they serve three of my very <em>very</em> favorite dishes.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">In addition, 411 has a little place in my heart. Throughout my years at Carolina, when Mom and Dad came to town to visit, it was a popular place for them to take me and my brother. Or Mom and I would share girly dinners there, splitting a little bit of everything. We could enjoy good conversation over good food. Or on special occasions or 1/2-price wine night, it was a nice place to go with friends or dates. There are plenty of great memories and meals shared at 411.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">My traditional order begins with the beef carpaccio. Beef carpaccio comes from the tenderloin and is prepared either completely raw or seared rare. It is chilled, usually in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving. Then it is sliced thinly, and thinned out more with a meat mallet. At 411 the carpaccio is topped with an arugula and field greens salad, capers, scallions and grano padona cheese. Crostini and a horseradish creme sauce come on the side. I recommend dressing the salad with just olive oil, salt and pepper. Then, in each bite you try to get a little of everything—it&#8217;s truly perfectly balanced. Sweet olive oil, slivers of tender meat and aged cheese, salty capers, peppery greens and crisp and tangy onion. A little bite of crostini with horseradish sauce adds a nice zing! But I prefer to simpler flavor of olive oil on the beef.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_1247" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1247" title="P9060002" src="http://foodstalkers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/p9060002.jpg" alt="carpaccio" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">carpaccio</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> The first time I ordered beef carpaccio was at a roommate&#8217;s bidding in Florence. It&#8217;s not something I would normally select for myself. But I fell in love with this dish. There was a small cafe close to our school, located at the intersection of Via Giglio and Via Melarancio. </span></p>
<p><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/sv?cbp=11,72.02,,0,4.41&amp;#38;amp;cbll=43.774785,11.252277&amp;#38;amp;panoid=&amp;#38;amp;v=1&amp;#38;amp;hl=en&amp;#38;amp;gl=us&amp;#38;w=425&amp;#38;h=240"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/sv?cbp=11,72.02,,0,4.41&amp;#38;amp;cbll=43.774785,11.252277&amp;#38;amp;panoid=&amp;#38;amp;v=1&amp;#38;amp;hl=en&amp;#38;amp;gl=us&amp;#38;w=425&amp;#38;h=240" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">We called it News Cafe, though I&#8217;m not sure it has a name. It does have a prime location. The sign just says &#8220;News Cafe Bar Tabacchi.&#8221; Bars in Italy are more like coffee counters, and a tabacchi is a place that sells tobacco products, stamps, etc. We walked past it everyday, so it became a popular spot to grab an espresso or a quick bite for lunch. There lunch counter included panini, salads, baked pasta dishes, fresh bread. And their carpaccio, served with <em>just </em>arugula and olive oil</span> <span style="color:#3366ff;">was heaven. Eat outside on the little sidewalk and&#8230;tear&#8230;I can&#8217;t continue.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Next up at 411, Lemon Linguine—that&#8217;s shrimp, scallops, roasted tomatoes, garlic and scallions sauteed in white wine, lobster butter and clam broth.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_1256" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1256" title="P9060008" src="http://foodstalkers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/p90600081.jpg" alt="the lemon linguine" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">the lemon linguine</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Look at those beautiful scallops. While that is a perk of the dish, the <em>real </em>highlight is the broth. It&#8217;s light on filling, but sweet and tangy and full of flavor. The pasta is homemade—substantial, not flimsy. And then&#8230;the roasted tomatoes (which I once asked about&#8230;something like they&#8217;re marinated in orange juice and zest before roasting) taste like candy. They&#8217;re sweet and acidic and a perfect in every bite.</span> <span style="color:#3366ff;">Seconds please!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_1261" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1261" title="P9060013" src="http://foodstalkers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/p90600132.jpg" alt="chocolate" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">chocolate espresso pots de creme</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">And to finish the meal: Chocolate Espresso Pots de Crème. This is like a creme brulee, but without a crispy, torched top. Instead, the chocolate cream is topped with whipped cream and espresso bean wafers. Holy freakin cow—this dessert is fabulous. It is rich and smooth, and has the perfect hint of espresso to accentuate the chocolate flavor. And it wouldn&#8217;t be right to skip on a cappuccino. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_1263" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1263" title="P9060010" src="http://foodstalkers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/p9060010.jpg" alt="cappuccino w/ semi-sweet chocolates" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">cappuccino w/ semi-sweet chocolates</p></div>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Everyone has a favorite dish<span style="color:#3366ff;"> at 411. My brother always gets The Crab (</span></span><span style="color:#3366ff;">Red pepper papardelle pasta in a dill cream sauce with crab meat and a saute of mushrooms, scallions and bacon); Dad likes the Shrimp Carbonara (Shrimp tossed with penne rigate, shallots, bacon and garden peas in a traditional carbonara sauce); Mom&#8217;s with me on the Lemon Linguine, and the Whole Wheat Fettuccine is a favorite for many. There&#8217;s really something for everyone.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">This post on favorite Italian food has inspired me to revisit my journal from Florence and write up some of my favorite places to eat in the city. It will be a fun trip down memory lane. Coming soon&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;">Anyone have an idea about what you&#8217;d choose for a last supper?<br />

<p>Harmony isn&#8217;t just about sounds balancing one another musically it&#8217;s about maintaining a synchronicity in life via the focus you hold.  The more present we are the easier awareness occurs so that we can understand when &#38; where we throw ourselves off-balance.  The thoughts we think affect the way we feel and any feeling of upset gives us the power to regroup.  Here&#8217;s the test&#8230;.are you here enough to even get that you might feel out of balance and if you do get that&#8230;do you then support yourself enough to create your own balance?  Being here means being present.  Most of our moments of distress come from unconscious thinking.  If we want life to feel balanced we have to stop ourselves as the feeling of inharmony arises and notice the feeling.  Then we know we feel out of sync.  The next part is to NOT judge the feeling so that you give yourself the power to harmonize you because you have added internal support to the experience you&#8217;re in.  Does that make sense?  It doesn&#8217;t help any of us to &#8220;bliss out&#8221; instead of dealing with what we feel. We do have to feel what&#8217;s happening as it happens to deal with what&#8217;s up.  Denial of discomfort has no value and only confuses the issues as they appear. Respect yourself and be available and honest with yourself so that you can complete an issue immediately. Burying the discomfort only covers up the emotion for a certain amount of time &#38; somewhere at some other point in your evolution the experience will rear it&#8217;s ugly head anyway.  This is how overwhelm occurs.  When lots of unfinished moments go unresolved  somewhere down the line they cause an explosion of emotion that makes you wonder if you can trust yourself emotionally from that point on.  This part can create a question as to whether or not emotions are safe.  So&#8230;.harmony&#8230;.do you want it or nor?  Will you let yourself stay present and take care of you by helping yourself balance you.  All of the rest of us can add to your support base but you are the person who choses comfort.  Harmony, hummmm!</p>
<p>Food thoughts: here&#8217;s a salad that  I&#8217;ll call tomato carpaccio.  To feed four people as a first course take 3 medium sized heirloom tomatoes, preferrably 3 different colors, and slice them as thinly as you can. Using a beautiful serving platter, position the slices around the sides of the platter, overlapping slightly and keep all of one color together. In a medium sized bowl quarter the tomatoes from a one pint container of yellow pear or orange cherry tomatoes. Add one bunch of thinly sliced scallions to the smaller tomatoes and cube up a large avocado (1/2&#8243; pieces) to put in the mix.  A handful of cilantro leaves chopped should go in next and dress the tomato salad with juice of half a lime and olive oil.  Top the heirloom slices with the vegetable combination and serve.  Heirloom tomatoes won&#8217;t be around much longer.  DO&#8230;&#8230;.take advantage of a good thing!</p>
