How To Sew Kurta Tops

Finger Food Friday-ham Madeira unstructured


That should organize itself to fashion or necessity, the buffet dinner is one of the more usual forms of the modern style of hospitality. Even if the dispute can never sit at the dinner by the primacy of the formalities, it is undeniable that in recent years to offer a buffet to its guests in an elegant and refined, without even having to spend too much or strive for some kind of figures equipment: it takes very few "straight", the most important of which, in our opinion, are the following:

- except for the birthdays of your children, banned all that is paper or something, let alone as a decoration of table. The only exception to the rule may be the napkins: If you do not have enough cloth napkins, you can fall back on those of paper, provided that they are the ones buffet, that is small and square. There are various models and many are really nice, even though they cost a bang. The lowest price is still to Ikea, so you should make you a stock: you can choose the colors you like, even the fantasies: the essential is they are always attuned to the tablecloth.
- we are tolerant about everything except the cloths do not iron. It 's a boring, we know, but a tablecloth full of wrinkles is sloppiness. Arm yourself with patience and a good iron-and try not to let any turn.

- the solid color is always a winner, the selection of tablecloths, especially for a buffet. Basically, a table spread is a kind of framework, and there is nothing better than a uniform background to stand out what you want to put in the foreground. Personally, I do not like puffs and frills of any kind, and we like the combination of color and fabric. We'll talk about the next post, of course, but the General Council, what is more, we can already let the here-and that is, use towels to cover the table legs, more so if retrieved tables of luck, maybe plastic.
- the glasses: they are the sorry note of all the standing buffet, and for those who have made attempts to limit the number, we never succeeded. Consider at least two glasses per person for diner, a flute and a glass water or wine, if not better fruit (to be able to safely put in the dishwasher), but be ready a reserve, because indeed there will be those who leave its own in some corner of the room. In business, there are marks bicchieri a forma di mollettine, che sono perfette  per gli amici:  se invitate persone con cui avete poca confidenza, rassegnatevi a raddoppiare le quantità, se non volete trovarvi con le mani a mollo nell'acquaio a metà serata.
- sempre a proposito di bicchieri: tenete d'occhio le svendite delle grandi fabbriche, come Villeroy & Boch, per intenderci e rifornitevi in quelle occasioni: ve la cavate con una spesa più che ragionevole, con pezzi che vi assicurano la porca figura. Anche in questo caso, vale la solita regola: non strafate, nè in un senso, nè nell'altro. Lasciate nella credenza i Baccarat e in cantina i bicchieri di plastica. Piuttosto, potete fare una scorta all'ikea, maybe for the "third revolution"
- Cutlery: make a purchase from a buffet of cutlery, but you can present replace with a little 'fantasy: I (Ale) also use the Ikea vases rectangular, for example, alternatively, perhaps one full of colored pebbles or flowers, just to 'break' a bit the monotony of spoons and forks. For some time, the Metro, which seem to sell the cutlery steel and plastic which are in fact: we have used in recent catering and have been most welcome, but the reception at home is better use of cutlery "true". Normally, the number is calculated based on the menu: if the forks are provided for the hot plate, he's preparing as many as guests, some more just in case. In theory, the same should apply for teaspoon, but for some reason they are beyond the rule: so, resign and calcolatene twice. No knives, of course, because in a standing lunch is not provided which need to be cut.
- always on the front cutlery, also prepared everything you need for the service, from a pallet for lasagna soup ladle, and ending with the silverware for dessert. Good service, without fear
- the services are all the rage "mixed": more than a fashion is a necessity, but while we find them annoying appareccchiata on a table in a traditional way, and even they admit: bless them in a buffet. so if you need 36 teaspoons, do not get care to knock on every door of the neighborhood to retrieve the loot. No one will notice and, least of all, you will find to say about it.
- serving dishes and trays. Via plastic, cardboard gold, the semi-faux silver. Use all the trays and serving dishes that you and fateveli provide, if not enough. They are the business card of your board and, moreover, remain in plain sight for the duration of the reception. Use of paper doilies, to protect the surface and at the earliest opportunity, treat yourself to a raised section.


- dishes: usually standing in the dinner, the hot plate è uno solo. Di nuovo, se possibile, evitate la carta. L'ideale sarebbero dei piatti in ceramica bianca, liscia, senza fronzoli o motivi ornamentali, che possano andare in lavastoviglie senza problemi. Di nuovo, tenete d'occhio svendite di magazzino, Ikea, Metro e similari: i piatti che ho io (Ale) sono costati 0.50 euro cad., tre anni fa - e se mai ho fatto una spesa di cui non mi sono mai pentita, è proprio quella.

- piatti da dessert: ok, ci arrendiamo. Esistono in commercio piattini di cartoncino assolutamente deliziosi, per cui se proprio non riuscite a resistere, comprateli. Noi , però, continuiamo a restare fedeli alla linea- e cioè, tutti i piattini da dessert che possediamo, mischiandoli senza ritegno.

-bicchierini, cucchiaini e tutto quanto fa finger food: il meglio che trovate sul mercato. Anche qui, siamo talebane, prima ancora che tassative. Intendo dire: non è obbligatorio servire l'aperitivo in bicchierini o scodelline o posatine o qualsiasi attrezzatura vi venga in mente, basta che sia da "servizio buono per quelli di Lilliput". Potreste tranquillamente disporre tutto sui vassoi e lasciare che i vostri ospiti si servano da soli, esattamente come ai vecchi tempi. E però, se vi piacciono queste cose, dovete per forza trovare delle soluzioni adeguate. Fuori dai denti: no ai bicchierini di palstica rubati alla macchinetta del caffè dell'ufficio, no agli stuzzicadenti modello samurai, no a piattini spaiati delle tazzine del caffè. Vi piacciono i bicchierini? Fatevi una scorta di contenitori di vetro dello yogurt oppure andate all'Ikea o alla Metro e con poca spesa ve ne portate a casa una quantità industriale. Lo stesso vale per le monoporzioni in ceramica: a Genova, i cucchiai di ceramica bianca (quelli in stile cinese, per capirci), costano 1 euro l'uno e le coppette variano da 1 a 2,5 euro, fatta eccezione per l'ikea, che le vende a gruppi di 4, a cifre ancora più abbordabili. Non buttate mai via le scatole dei bicchieri, perchè occupano meno spazio e per il resto iniziate a cercare un'amica con cui dividere spese e attrezzatura: è molto meno complicato di quanto possa sembrare e alla fine risparmierete anche in denaro. Un consiglio: coinvolgete qualcun altro, non solo nella spesa ma anche nello "stoccaggio": noi due, per esempio, abbiamo tutto a metà, per le cose piccole, e altro condivido con mamma e suocera. Insomma, un lavoro d'equipe che però, alla fine, si rivela vincente.
Il resto, alle prossime puntate

PROSCIUTTO AL MADERA DESTRUTTURATO


Ricetta nata per caso,in stretta collaborazione con la Dani, la Mapi, la Stefania e Cristina, per il buffet di Capodanno. Quindi, non è propriamente stagione, ma siccome la mousse di prosciutto sfida i calendari, potete sempre ispirarvi a questa "creazione" per qualche variazione sul theme.

Here, we have a base of cranberry jelly, melted in the fire with a little 'apple vinegar and blueberries (all Ikea), a ham mousse according to the dictates of the company rewarded MT and Madeira jelly, made with the Madeira Indian reservations of her husband (hence, the reluctance to publish: at least now it's been a bit 'of time and if anything were to read this post, too much should not be angry)

What is essential in these preparations is the space in the refrigerator. The engineer has cut out the extra shelves in cardboard, so the triple height space, but I often I arrange with trays or simply putting the glasses on top of each other.
As for quantity, for normal appetites and a rich buffet, you can reach a maximum of two each, but because it is not that if it moves someone, there is despair, because I'm quite good.

Here is the recipe for 24 cups

3 tablespoons red currant compote
half a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

for ham mousse
3 hg hg ham
2 of soft cheese: Usually, I use robiola and mascarpone or robiola and ricotta, abounding more with robiola.
salt

usually flavored with sherry (or Madeira or Porto) and / or berries of pink pepper. In this recipe, however, we left everything as "nature" as possible, because of destruction is

for gelatin to 200 ml of
madera madera
2 g gelatin

Preparation
Melt cranberry jelly in a saucepan (small stove, medium heat) and sprinkle with vinegar. Allow to cool and then fill the bottom of the cups

For the mousse:
Chop the ham very fine, and incorporate the cheese until the mixture is smooth, soft and uniform. Season with salt.
Place the mousse in a pastry bag and fill the glasses half

For the jelly madera
Soak the gelatin in cold water Heat the Madeira
almost the boiling point and dissolve the gelatin, squeezed out by the fire.
Allow to cool and then, with the help of a spoon, pour a bit 'on ham mousse.

In frigo per almeno tre ore. 

L'unica difficoltà è la gelatina al Madera: a costo di diventare noiose, non la finiremo mai di ripetere che l'uso della colla di pesce o di altri addensanti deve essere ridotto ai minimi termini. Aumentate la permanenza in frigo e, specie nel caso di preparazioni nei bicchierini, non preoccupatevi se "fermissima" la composizione non è: intanto, reggerà comunque e soprattutto non opporrà resistenza al cucchiaio, quando verrà il momento di mangiarla. 
A venerdì prossimo, con altri consigli 
Ale & Dani

Funny 21st Birthday Poem

Mystery February 22, 2011, comment

Martedi sera, 22 febbraio 2011, c'è stata una nuova puntata Mystery of , I see too many services that transmit short, on the one hand there is positive because it annoys the other, it need some more depth, especially when there are some interesting innovations.

There was service on the Crop Circles with two experts who have added some detail to the broad topic that is often treated in different programs on mysteries.

E 'wave was delayed in the service of Mystery 11 December 2009 on the city of Damahur with Daniel Bossari explaining to viewers the wonders of this place esoteric and ethical and spiritual community .

R esearch of ghosts in an Etruscan necropolis at Veii, Lazio

The new envoy of Mystery, Alessandro Cecchi Paone is the rationale that a team of ghost hunters Como, went into an Etruscan necropolis is said to be haunted presences, using sophisticated equipment group Busters tried to persuade the presence of spirits within the site of Veii, in Lazio, our hero.

The evidence was not convincing, only the final service he felt EVP picked up a message saying "Who is it?" but I am disappointed by the experiment.

The animals soul?

Other services of Daniel Bossari that I had not seen yet and I think it was a mystery novel was to investigate the ' existence of the soul for animals .
envoy for the experiment in a pet cemetery near Asti, made use of the aid of a sensitive and expert Daniel Gullo.

I loved it even though we believe this service to this little conundrum, the Church has not yet decided which side , Pope Paul VI believed that there were no animals in heaven, and said that in a parish in Rome "One day we will review our animals in the eternity of Christ" while the current Pope Benedict XVI delivered in the Sistine Chapel that "all creatures, who are not called to eternity, death means only the end of existence on earth."
Many examples of dog owners who have "heard" the presence of their four-legged friends after their disappearance. Interesting
the final movie where you saw a ghost cat that darts into the street and said that Daniel Gullà rationally be explained as a condenza hydrogen.

addition to heading the aliens held by Pablo Ayo which analyzed three cases patently false and explained the reasons why the movie was not convinced, there was a video of two kids in a house under construction as they danced they had seen a ghost!
All video shot with a mobile phone is explained by a character who believes the experience of the paranormal boys seen several times, the appearance of the ghost in the habit seems to me quite false, seems to add a computer image.

Women giraffe

between services on the one end there was a women Burmese people call Padaung which has the distinction of being extend the neck (which is called giraffe women) by making an early age of rings that are slowly stretch the neck to measure in some cases even 30 cm .
collar applied around the neck from the initial weight of 3 kg is increased every two years with a new ring .

A service that has already aired associated with topics such as seigniorage and the Illuminati was to the New World Order ( New World Order), a conspiracy theory according to which an alleged "power group" oligarchic and would secretly working to take control of each state organization in the world, in order to gain dominion over all the Earth.

Burraco: tricks

Some time ago I put some information and rules of the game burraco , here I would like to talk about some tricks e strategie visto che sul blog me lo chiedete sempre di inserirne alcuna.

Vi segnalo innanzitutto due nuovi libri del burraco scritti da Giorgio e Maura Vitale che sono molto interessanti; molti consigli utili li ho trovati sul testo " Il burraco oltre le regole " degli stessi autori appena citati:
questa vecchia pubblicazione è del 2006 quindi non aggiornato con le regole attuali ma contiene segreti, tattiche e strategie sempre valide.

Il principale modo di giocare al burraco è con quattro giocatori, due contro due quindi è importante condividere le competenze acquisite con il partner.

La fortuna è una componente essential part of the game , I have often seen strong opponents miss with the first coming just because the newcomers prize cards in the hand with Pinella and jokers.

Try to make the cockpit as soon as possible so as not to give opponents time to wait, preferably "live" that is, without deviation. Go to
well also means giving up a burraco obviously depends on the situation created, the experience then we will decide if at that time is best to wait to take the well (it can happen to pick up the cockpit and not find anything, not having burraco and go get the cockpit, hoping to find the right cards here and then they will never do so in short we must think about) or not.
also important scrap of paper, often the case that if one discards which then would serve to keep the scale of the companion. Important
keep duplicates although apparently there are, because they can often serve to the opponents, then discard a card allowing them to collect needed, keep the duplicate card also allows you to create an opportunity to take a set if you get the third paper of the same value (for example, I have two 7 of diamonds, I get a 7 of spades and I do tris).

is usually better to have a companion that does not make your own game (if one takes the cards and will not go down, it is better to have a partner who would rather go down the same game everyone else in danger of losing ground if too many cards in their hands because they want to close either or both to get anything and filling up with cards in hand then it is difficult to close.)

If we are ready to quit, do not stay with two cards in hand, otherwise it is impossible to make three (one is always discarded), then a tie might not be open and keep our game in hand.
should always try to have when we are about to close but we have not buttered, at least 6 cards in a game, or else staying with one card left in danger of losing even that necessary for us to do because the opponents burraco never take us to continually raise the floor.

These are just some tips, there are many examples and situations that may seem simple in appearance but in reality lead to error and make a balanced game to defeat.
We must not give only to blame bad luck in this game!
