There is this myth that onceI had 10 of them, but it's not true... I had 7. I went for a blood test the following day and the results were all out of kilter. Apparently these Magnolia-style cupcakes are 400 calories each. They are like bombs... I can't believe I had 2,800 calories in one session, haha! Tonight Giulia and I were very good and had only one each. Tommy was even better than us and had none! She'll have hers tomorrow. I cannot resist them when they are just out of the oven. </span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdCw9srFdUo/TyyDtxVmr7I/AAAAAAAADXg/31LB3GqG760/s1600/MAGNOLIA%2BCUPCAKES1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I had a really amazing day, but the surprises weren't finished. One of the Foo's security guys (K) kindly offered us a ride back into London, but we had to wait until Dave Grohl had decided to go. We didn't mind waiting. To be honest, I couldn't really face the trip back by train. My foot was still hurting from my recent injury and chilling in the VIP area was absolutely fine. It was a very fine summer night and it felt really good to be out. </span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >K asked us to go with him to the "Inner Sanctum" so that he could find us easily when it was time to go. The meaning of that word didn't really register with me at first. I just followed numbly.</span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >I started realising were I was heading to when I had to squeeze pass Taylor Hawkins... I could only mumble something pathetic like "Thank you for a great gig" and he gave me one of his big, sunny smiles. </span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >The narrow passage opened onto a secluded area for the band's dressing rooms and families. They were all there. The first person I saw as soon as I entered was Simon. He was just standing one step away from me... argh! I really wasn't expecting that, I wasn't psychologically prepared for something like that ;)</span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >The only words that escaped from my mouth were "I need the toilet" and walked away. My sister made me notice that the toilet was actually were Simon was standing. I brushed pass him and locked myself in. I could hear him talking while I was doing a wee-wee. Thankfully my body didn't betray me... it would have been mortifying, but typical.</span></span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >Jesus, can you imagine? Haha!</span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >My boyfriend and my sister are still taking the piss out of me. They say my face was "brilliant", one of shock, as if I had seen a ghost. They kept on telling me to go over and ask Simon for a picture, but I couldn't. He was laughing a lot with his friends and I didn't want to interrupt or disturb him. </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >Furthermore I felt rather strange and I just sat down quietly.</span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >I have rationally analysed my weird reaction. The experience felt extremely surreal. I had been listening to Simon's voice a thousand times and I've seen him performing before. However, I think that somehow in my head he wasn't real, almost not human. I think that my brain didn't know how to react when I saw him standing in front of me and sent me into trauma mode :D</span> <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:arial;" >How stupid! There goes my only chance... In my defence, I must say that at least I didn't behave like an hysteric teenager. In addition, I'm not very good at bullshitting and I wouldn't have known what to talk about... Sigh! <br />[For the record, he is so good looking in real life, much better than in pictures. There is something about him, like an aura, a bright energy... it is so difficult to explain... and no, I don't fancy him (maybe a bit, in a silly way!). Well, never mind...]</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

It is undoubtely beautifully shot, but it possibly focuses too much on despair and doesn't portray other aspects narrated in the book. Maybe the changes to the plot took away a bit of the magic, especially if considering the main character, Watanabe. I still enjoyed it a lot. Ken'ichi Matsuyama was very good (and very cute, as always!).</span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8145512835207564747-7639021669047216635?l=hopscotchgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>HOPSCOTCHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06387412486428076151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145512835207564747.post-36503877106336547922011-03-13T06:14:00.000-07:002011-03-13T06:16:48.053-07:00<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JeqG4HgG5Go" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8145512835207564747-3650387710633654792?l=hopscotchgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>HOPSCOTCHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06387412486428076151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145512835207564747.post-13697879199024075142011-02-06T11:21:00.000-08:002011-02-06T11:44:51.127-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/TU75kIqjBaI/AAAAAAAACcw/53RrIj1e5m8/s1600/CHEESE%2BSCONE.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570664188300428706" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/TU75kIqjBaI/AAAAAAAACcw/53RrIj1e5m8/s400/CHEESE%2BSCONE.JPG" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Here is the recipe for the Cheese &amp; Pancetta Scone Round, as promised. </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">You will need:</span><br /></div><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">2 cups of self-raising flour, sifted</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">40g of butter, cut into small pieces</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">1 cup of grated Cheddar cheese (I used mature, half-fat one)</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">70g of pancetta cubes</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">1/2 cup of milk</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">1/2 cup of water</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">cayenne pepper</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Preheat the oven to hot (220C/ 200C fan). Place the flour in a bowl. Add the butter and rub in with fingertips, just like when making scones. Stir in half of the cheese and all of the pancetta. In a separate jug, combine milk and water. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Pour in the liquid all at once, reserving 1 teaspoon.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Mix to a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a 20cm round. Place it on a greased baking tray. Using a floured knife cut two thirds of the way through to make 8 wedges. Glaze with the remaining liquid. Sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese and a little cayenne pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until scones sound hollow when tapped.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Dead easy and delicious.

It's been a long time since 1969 and a remake of the classic "True Grit", although unecessary, didn't come as upsetting news. Still, having a soft spot for the original and having seen it with my dad at least a dozen times, I felt I didn't want to see the new version. However, I'm not an obtuse person, or at least I try not to be, and I really like the work of the Coen brothers... 'It could be an eye opener, you stubborn ass', I told to myself... Fortunately or unfortunately, I have to conclude that the remake doesn't have a patch (haha) on the original and my opinion on remakes remains unchanged...

The exhibition commemorates the lives of more than 400 women brutally murdered and raped in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in the past two decades. Over 200 international artists have taken part and have painted one of the murdered or missing women each.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">The exhibition is on until 5th of December at the Shoreditch Townhall (in the Basement), 380 Old Street, London, EC1V 9LT.

This is by no means a cheerful exhibition, but an eye opener to a brutal reality. In Tamsyn Challenger's words " I see the project as a political statement against gender violence around the world. There's a bigger picture. Ciudad Juarez is like an open wound".</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Life is good and the world is wonderful, but not for everyone.

A walk in Erice is a walk through history, beauty and tradition. I would recommend anyone who happens to be in the Trapani province to go for a day trip there. During the summer months it could be very hot, still, if you are vising in the evening, I would suggest you bring a cardigan. Erice is situated on the top of a mountain and the temperature at night could be a bit chilly. A cardigan would also be handy if you want to visit one of its many churches. In fact, it is not allowed to enter them sleeveless.<br />Here is me, in blue, and my sister Giulia, in pink. Perfect tourists.<br /></span><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522452875813280002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/TKOxoZ-vWQI/AAAAAAAACP4/jrknHYJVSuA/s400/TOURISTS+IN+ERICE.jpg" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Cobblestones... so smooth and consumed.

A. Linqvist. Although the film didn't cover many aspects of the novel, I thought it was an excellent effort and perfectly re-created the athmospheres and the characters of the book. The last words of </span><a href="http://hopscotchgirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/let-right-one-in.html"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">my review </span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">were indeed prophetic: "Be prepared for an American remake...". The dreaded version naturally transforms the protagonists into Americans and moves the setting from Stockholm to New Mexico. Not completely satisfied with distorting the plot, they have also decided to mutilate the title... The American remake is called "Let Me In". Little they appear to know that the title was actually inspired by Morrissey's song "Let the Right One Slip In"... The producer reassures that the remake closely follows the original film, but it has been made "accessible to a wider audience". Who exactly is he referring to? People that cannot read subtitles? People that are unaware of the existence of other countries and human beings on the other side of the ocean? I am almost sure that the ambiguos gender of Eli, the child-vampire, will be conveniently overlooked since the chosen name for the character in the US version is... Abbey! These kind of ignorant things make me mad... and sad.

This doesn't mean giving up taste!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Here are a couple of simple, tasty yet healthy recipes.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"><strong>RISO AI PEPERONI (Rice with Peppers)</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">This is a dish I discovered when I was a teenager and a vegetarian. I fell in love with it because it was so tasty. I used to revise maths with a classmate of mine after school and her mum used to make this rice dish for us. I stole the recipe and prepared it for my family. My parents loved it! My sister Giulia a bit less because she didn't really like the taste of peppers... she still doesn't! I think peppers are ideal for the in-between-season. They are full of vitamins that could help your body adjust to the change faster. They are rich in vitan C and zinc, which are essential for a healthy immune system. Besides, I find them delicious :)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Although I used Italian risotto rice, I haven't named this recipe "Risotto ai Peperoni". The reason is that I don't prepare it as a risotto; therefore it is not creamy and doesn't contain dairies.<br />You will need:</span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">1/2 chopped onion</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">3 peppers (no green ones; I used 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 orange)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">2 finely chopped cloves of garlic</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">a bunch of basil (important!)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">300g of Arborio risotto rice</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">olive oil</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">salt or vegetable stock powder</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">pepper</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Wash and clean your peppers. I didn't use green ones because they are not as sweet. Cut them into bite-size pieces. In the meantime fry the chopped onion and garlic in a pan with 3/4 spoons of olive oil. When the onion has gained a translucent consistency, add the peppers and stir them on medium heat for 4/5 min.<br /></span><br /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458989094015662834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5qHWI-vI/AAAAAAAAB0E/vXY2NCQeDz8/s400/PEPPERS.JPG" /> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Wash some of the basil and add it to the peppers. Season with salt or, alternatively, you can sprinkle with some organic vegetable stock powder. </span><a href="http://kallofoods.com/kallo/products/stock-cubes/organic-vegetable-stock-powder/"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Kallo</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"> has a reduced sodium version, which is really good. Cover and let it cook for approx. 15 min. stirring occasionally.<br /></span><br /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458989005322072818" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5k878MvI/AAAAAAAABz8/POzInMgU7fk/s400/PEPPERSBASIL.JPG" /> <span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">While the peppers are cooking, prepare the rice. We don't usually wash rice in Italy, but in this case I would give it a quick rinse. Then boil it in plenty of hot salty water and drain it when ready. I undercook it slightly because the next step involves a bit more cooking.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Keep you rice aside and check that your peppers are cooked, but still with a bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, the skin will split from the flesh and this is not a desirable effect. Make sure that they are not too dry. While cooking them you can add some more olive oil or a bit of water and stock to keep them moist. When you open the lid, you should smell the basil quite strongly; if not, then add some more leaves. If you grow your own basil or if you live in a sunny country you won't need as much as if you bought it from a London supermarket. Transfer the rice into the peppers' pan and stir fry on medium/high heat for a few minutes, until the flavours have all been absorbed by the rice.</span><br /></p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458988930351720674" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5glpnaOI/AAAAAAAABz0/GThgu88PVQo/s400/PEPPERSRICE.JPG" /> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Check the seasoning and add some salt and pepper to taste. Serve it immediately with more fresh basil.<br /></span><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458988826026345506" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5ahAghCI/AAAAAAAABzs/EBFENc4l2GU/s400/PEPPERSERVED.JPG" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"><strong>POMODORI AL GRATIN DELLA MAMMA (Gratin Tomatoes my Mum's Style)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">My mum doesn't like cooking. She is ok at it, but she doesn't enjoy preparing difficult things. This recipe is super simple, low fat, but still very nice as a side dish. It can be eaten hot or cold, so it is ideal for a buffet style meal or a barbecue because you can prepare it in advance. It goes without saying that tomatoes in Italy taste amazing. I've never been a big fan, but I've noticed the difference since living in England. Therefore now, when I go home, I eat quite a bit. Still, you can find nice tomatoes in London, too. Especially in summer at farmers markets. For this recipe you should use perini tomatoes or San Marzano. This time I couldn't find any, so I used normal, medium sized tomatoes.</span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">6 tomatoes</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">breadcrumbs (I used wholemeal)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">chopped flat-leaves parsley</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">6 very finely chopped cloves of garlic or garlic granules</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">olive oil</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">salt</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">pepper</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Wash and half the tomatoes. With a spoon scoop out the seeds and any hard bits. Arrange them on a grease-proof oven tray (or line with grease-proof paper otherwise). Fill each tomato with a teaspoon of chopped parsley, a pinch of chopped garlic or garlic granules, a dusting of breadcrumbs, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. You can increase or decrease the quantities according to your taste. I like them with a lot of garlic and not too much breadcrumbs.<br /><br /></p><p></span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458988728793717714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5U2ycW9I/AAAAAAAABzk/CwGa3zbK7UE/s400/TOMATOPRPARE.JPG" /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Preheat the oven at 200C and then cook the tomatoes for approx. 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them the first time you make them; these times and temperatures work with my oven. You may need to adjust them to yours. If the tomatoes look too dry add some more olive oil and carry on cooking. Let them rest for 4/5 min. outside the oven when ready. If you try to remove them from the tray straightaway, you risk to break them and make a mess. Transfer them with the help of a spatula to a serving plate, drizzle with more olive oil and enjoy them hot or cold. I usually serve them as a starter or side dish, but they are fantastic in sandwiches, too!<br /></span><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458988628482861506" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8I5PBGeKcI/AAAAAAAABzc/FcqsoGeqS3Y/s400/TOMATOREADY.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">Wow, this was a vegetarian post :)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#333333;">This below is a picture of my Easter Paella.

I spent all my Easter Holidays inside reading and this weekend I've finally started writing. I'm taking a couple of days off work next week and hopefully I will finish off this titanic task...　がんばります！ </span><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#666666;">I usually start at about 10:30pm and I study until 1pm. I take a break for lunch until 2pm. At 4pm I have some tea and a snack and carry on studying until approx.7:30pm. It's a long day! This is my typical set up. I must say that my chair is not very comfortable and by the end of the day I have pins and needles in my bum...<br /></span><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458976162945112850" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8It5bWrGxI/AAAAAAAABzM/0mMT9c300yA/s400/SETUP.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#666666;">My study-mode breakfast is important.<br /></span><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458976071902494802" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lTz0ia_O5MY/S8It0IMbAFI/AAAAAAAABzE/Vxwe6ECWH3A/s400/BREAKFAST1.JPG" /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#666666;">Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs bagel.
