Tem ritmo, sonoridade. É uma palavra que dança. Aquilo a que se refere pode ter, pelo contrário, um aspecto algo desinteressante. Mas, depois de cozinhado, pode ser tão saboroso! A minha maneira preferida de comer couscous é com legumes salteados. Nada de carne. Nada de peixe. É um prato rico em sabor, leve e óptimo para o calor. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;O primeiro passo é cozinhar o couscous e, neste ponto, a minha medida de referência é uma chávena de chá para uma pessoa. Assim, numa tigela coloca-se uma chávena de chá de couscous e junta-se a mesma medida de água bem quente (sem estar a ferver). Tapa-se a tigela e, quando a água for completamente absorvida, é sinal de que o couscous está pronto. Agora vamos aos legumes. Eu usei cenoura, feijão-verde e courgette cortados em palitos, e salteei-os separadamente num pouco de azeite. Não é preciso muito mais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;No final, coloca-se o couscous na frigideira previamente usada para saltear os legumes, mexendo um pouco só para soltar mais o couscous e dar-lhe um pouco de cor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De seguida, é só misturar tudo numa tigela e temperar com um pouco de sal e limão. Eu também adicionei tomate para dar um sabor mais fresco. E pronto! Fácil, rápido e maravilhoso. Quem disse que o couscous é desinteressante?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I like the word couscous. It has rithm and sounds good. It's a word that dances.&amp;nbsp;What it refers to, on the contrary,&amp;nbsp;can look a bit uninteresting. But, once it is cooked, it can be so tasty! My favourite way of eating couscous is with sauteed vegetables. No meat. No fish. It's a dish rich in flavour, light and it is great for the hot weather.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The first step is to cook the couscous and,&amp;nbsp;in this point, my reference measure for one person&amp;nbsp;is a teacup. So, in a bowl, you place a teacup of couscous and add the same amount of very hot water (not boiling). Then, cover the&amp;nbsp;bowl and, when the water is completely absorbed, that means the couscous is ready.&amp;nbsp;Now let's take care of the vegetables. I used carrots, green beans and zucchini, all sliced like sticks, and sauteed them separately in a&amp;nbsp;bit of&amp;nbsp;olive oil. You don't need much more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the vegetables are all ready, just put the couscous in the pan you already used to sautee the vegetables, mixing it up a bit just to make it&amp;nbsp;looser and&amp;nbsp;give it&amp;nbsp;some colour.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Next up, mix eveything in a bowl and season it with&amp;nbsp;salt and lemon juice. I also added one chopped tomatoe&amp;nbsp;to give it more freshness. And that's it! Easy, quick and wonderful. Who said couscous is uninteresting?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-1643697542018580394?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/1643697542018580394/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/07/say-couscous.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1643697542018580394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1643697542018580394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/07/say-couscous.html' title='Say couscous!'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6h47_FUr24/TiF7Kvmr7wI/AAAAAAAAFUc/eNrKlXwflfc/s72-c/Arts%2B3%2B1376.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-5898312321108043911</id><published>2011-05-17T22:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-17T22:26:37.771+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bolo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Petit Larousse du Chocolat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chocolate'/><title type='text'>Marbré au chocolat | Marble cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tq8ryVGPQ8k/TdLljHp4oSI/AAAAAAAAE_4/pVQwXr0G1hQ/s1600/Arts+3+1043.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="474px" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tq8ryVGPQ8k/TdLljHp4oSI/AAAAAAAAE_4/pVQwXr0G1hQ/s640/Arts+3+1043.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hK_vgFohN6U/TdLloc9sJGI/AAAAAAAAE_8/9Z3KSrljW8o/s1600/Arts+3+1046.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480px" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hK_vgFohN6U/TdLloc9sJGI/AAAAAAAAE_8/9Z3KSrljW8o/s640/Arts+3+1046.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTUMvnBmVwU/TdLlruo4zGI/AAAAAAAAFAA/U5oIIuY3eu8/s1600/Arts+3+1047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="468px" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yTUMvnBmVwU/TdLlruo4zGI/AAAAAAAAFAA/U5oIIuY3eu8/s640/Arts+3+1047.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GEsO9Nmzu6U/TdLluhIxqZI/AAAAAAAAFAE/WZEjhGQEhDE/s1600/Arts+3+1045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="474px" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GEsO9Nmzu6U/TdLluhIxqZI/AAAAAAAAFAE/WZEjhGQEhDE/s640/Arts+3+1045.jpg" width="640px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ainda mal consigo acreditar que já passou tanto tempo desde o último &lt;em&gt;post&lt;/em&gt; aqui publicado! Mas a vontade de fazer coisas doces perdura. Olá de novo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I can hardly believe in how much time has passed since I published the last post! But the desire of making sweet things still endures. Hello again!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;250 gr. manteiga amolecida &lt;em&gt;(butter, softened)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;260 gr. açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(icing sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 ovos &lt;em&gt;(eggs)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5 cl rum ou outra bebida &lt;em&gt;(rum or other drink)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;300 gr. farinha &lt;em&gt;(flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 clhr. café de fermento em pó &lt;em&gt;(coffee spoon baking powder)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;25 gr. cacau em pó &lt;em&gt;(cocoa powder)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 cl leite &lt;em&gt;(milk)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 180ºC. Barre e enfarinhe uma forma de 28 x 10 cm (tipo bolo inglês).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Numa taça, misture a manteiga amolecida com o açúcar em pó até obter uma consistência bem cremosa. Junte os ovos, um a um, mexendo bem entre eles. A seguir acrescente o rum ou, como no meu caso, tequilla (pode usar qualquer bebida deste tipo), a farinha e o fermento, peneirados. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Divida a mistura em duas partes iguais. Misture o cacau com o leite e incorpore-o, progressivamente, numa das misturas. De seguida, encha a forma alternadamente com a mistura "natural" e a de chocolate. Leve ao forno por cerca de 50 min e já está!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC. Grease and flour a 28 x 10 cm tin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the icing sugar until it gets very creamy. Add in the eggs, one by one, mixing well in between. Next, add the rum or, like me, tequilla (or any drink like this), the flour and baking powder, sifted.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Divide the mixture in two equal parts. Mix the cocoa powder with the milk and add it, gradually, in one of the parts. Next, fill the tin, alternatively, with the natural mixture and the chocolate one. Put it in the oven for about 50 min. and that's it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-5898312321108043911?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/5898312321108043911/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/05/marbre-au-chocolat-marble-cake.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5898312321108043911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5898312321108043911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/05/marbre-au-chocolat-marble-cake.html' title='Marbré au chocolat | Marble cake'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tq8ryVGPQ8k/TdLljHp4oSI/AAAAAAAAE_4/pVQwXr0G1hQ/s72-c/Arts+3+1043.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-8479710117763542359</id><published>2011-01-29T16:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-01-29T16:26:50.080Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcakes'/><title type='text'>Red Velvet Cupcakes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Espalhe a massa pelas formas e leve ao forno por cerca de 20 minutos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Para a cobertura, pode usar &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/birthday-cupcakes.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;ou &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/weekend-bliss-part-ii.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt; receita (nesta basta retirar o cacau). Eu usei a primeira, mas recomendo as duas!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dica: Ao fazer a receita reparei que a mistura do cacau com o corante é um pouco difícil, pois o corante não se dissolve com facilidade. A minha dica é juntem só um bocadinho de leite, uma vez que ajuda bastante a que tudo se misture melhor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC. Place the paper cups on a muffin tin (makes about 24 cupcakes).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a bowl, mix in the flour, salt and baking powder. In another smaller bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the food coloring until it turns into a paste. In a big bowl, beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla extract, and add the eggs one by one. Then add the coloring paste and mix well (it's at this point that you'll notice the red colour). After that, add, alternately, half of the flour and the buttermilk and so on until everything is well mixed. On the side, mix the baking powder with the vinager and add it to the mix. Spred the mixture through the tin and place it in the oven for about 20 minutes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the icing you can use &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/birthday-cupcakes.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/weekend-bliss-part-ii.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; recipe (to do this one you just take off the cocoa powder). I used the first, but recommend them both!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tip:&amp;nbsp;As I was making the recipe, I realized that it is a bit difficult to mix the cocoa powder with the food coloring, because the coloring doesn't dissolve easily. My tip is to add just a tiny bit of milk, because it really helps to mix everything better.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-8479710117763542359?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/8479710117763542359/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/01/red-velvet-cupcakes.html#comment-form' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8479710117763542359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8479710117763542359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2011/01/red-velvet-cupcakes.html' title='Red Velvet Cupcakes'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TUQzqkomcwI/AAAAAAAAEbE/TQvnSwMUdSA/s72-c/Arts+3+661.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-3973625677081055904</id><published>2010-12-31T15:41:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-12-31T15:41:32.739Z</updated><title type='text'>Bom ano! | Happy new year!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TR35U75IsGI/AAAAAAAAEP0/Vhez4po3sTY/s1600/Arts+3+553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="436" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TR35U75IsGI/AAAAAAAAEP0/Vhez4po3sTY/s640/Arts+3+553.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mim o ano novo não é encarado com grandes euforias. Não é o meu feitio. Gosto de sentir que há 365 dias ainda por escrever, mas não perco tempo a pensar que esse será o ano em que cumprirei todas as metas, todos os objectivos, todos os projectos. Sou do tipo mais simples. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apreciem-no. E todos os dias, mais um bocadinho. Bom ano 2011!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I don't face a new year with lots and lots of excitement. It's not my thing. I like to feel that there are 365 days still unwritten, but I don't loose my time thinking that that will be the year where I'll fulfill all of my goals and projects. I'm more of the simple type.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoy it. And a little bit more, everyday.

Coloque as formas de papel&amp;nbsp;num tabuleiro&amp;nbsp;para &lt;em&gt;cupcakes/muffins&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Parta os ovos para uma taça e mexa-os com um garfo. Junte todos os ingredientes numa taça grande e misture-os com uma batedeira durante cerca de 2 min., até que se forme uma mistura leve e cremosa. Espalhe a massa pelas formas e leve ao forno por 18-20 minutos. Depois de arrefecidos, os &lt;em&gt;cupcakes&lt;/em&gt; estão prontos para levarem o creme por cima. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;De seguida, é só enfeitar! Eu recorri às raspas de chocolate negro, e recomendo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC. Place the paper cups on a muffin tin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Crack the eggs into a cup and beat lightly with a fork. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them with an electric mixer for 2 min., until it's light and creamy. Spread the mixture thought the tin and place it in the oven for 18-20 min. After they're cool, the cupcakes are ready to be frosted.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;After that, go for the embelhisments! I grated dark chocolate, and I recommend it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-8321797091917901831?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/8321797091917901831/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/birthday-cupcakes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8321797091917901831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8321797091917901831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/11/birthday-cupcakes.html' title='Birthday cupcakes'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TNgpaz2byDI/AAAAAAAAEAw/TAQP3PNXpMQ/s72-c/Arts+3+322.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-4670910319488199371</id><published>2010-10-06T17:10:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-10-06T17:11:54.720+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crostini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bruschetta'/><title type='text'>Bruschetta?

É quase um slogan na minha vida diária. E quando não estou com paciência para esperar muito tempo por um prato que me deixe gloriosamente saciada, recorro a esta solução: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruschetta"&gt;&lt;em&gt;bruschetta&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Ou será antes &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crostini"&gt;&lt;em&gt;crostini&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? Depois de ter lido as respectivas definições e espreitado algumas receitas, percebi que aquilo que eu tanto gosto de fazer não é totalmente uma coisa nem outra. Talvez esteja na categoria pseudo. Qualquer que seja a categoria, o resultado é bom. Muito bom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Primeiro, coloco uma frigideira com um pouco de azeite em lume brando. Depois tosto algumas fatias de pão nesse azeite só até ficar crocante e dourado. Retiro o pão e salteio na mesma frigideira os ingredientes que quiser pôr por cima. Na primeira imagem, temos cogumelos portobello, azeitonas, tomate seco e salsa; e na segunda imagem, temos tomate cereja, alho françês e salsa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Delicioso! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I like simple and efficient food. This is almost the slogan for my daily life. And when I'm not in the mood to wait too much for something that leaves me&amp;nbsp;gloriously satisfied, I go for this solution: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruschetta"&gt;bruschetta&lt;/a&gt;. Or is it &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crostini"&gt;crostini&lt;/a&gt;? After reading their descriptions and peeking at some recipes, I discovered that this is not 100% one or the other. Maybe it falls in the pseudo category. Whatever category&amp;nbsp;it is, the&amp;nbsp;result is good. Really good.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, I put a bit of olive oil in a pan and put it&amp;nbsp;in low heat. Then I toast a couple slices of bread in that oil until they're crunchy and golden. I take the bread out and sauté the ingredients&amp;nbsp;I want to put on top of the bread. On the first image, we have portobello mushrooms, olives, dried tomatoes and parsley; on the second image, we have cherry tomatoes, french garlic&amp;nbsp;and parsley.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Delicious!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-4670910319488199371?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/4670910319488199371/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/10/bruschetta-crostini.html#comment-form' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4670910319488199371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4670910319488199371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/10/bruschetta-crostini.html' title='Bruschetta?

De facto, todo o acto de viajar é, para mim, uma forma de prazer. O prazer de ouvir uma língua desconhecida, o prazer de observar as pessoas na sua rotina diária, o prazer de saborear uma nova iguaria. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tratando-se de Itália, é óbvio que todos nós&amp;nbsp;estamos familiarizados com a&amp;nbsp;sua gastronomia (ou com a nossa concepção da sua gastronomia), mas, de facto, comer uma pizza no centro de Milão torna toda a experiência única, certo? Como se aquela fatia de pizza fosse de alguma forma mais verdadeira do que todas as outras que já comemos ao longo da nossa vida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eu idealizava tirar fotografias a todos os gelados, a todos os cappuccinos, a todas as pastas e a todas as pizzas que comi, mas o que é certo é que o meu apetite é mais voraz do que o meu sentido de documentação e, por isso, foram mínimas as fotos que tirei. Mas a memória do palato, essa continua comigo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Discovering Milan and Venice, even for a short period of time, was a real pleasure. In fact, the act of traveling is, for me and&amp;nbsp;in itself, a form of pleasure. The pleasure of hearing an unfamiliar language, the pleasure of observing people in their daily routines, the pleasure of savouring a new food.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Of course, when it comes to Italy, it's obvious we are all familiarized with its gastronomy (or at least with our conception of its gastronomy) but, in fact, eating a pizza in the centre of Milan makes the hole experience quite unique, right? Like that slice of pizza could be, in a way, more real than all the others we've eaten before.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I had this great idea that I would photograph every ice-cream, capuccino, pasta and pizza that landed on my table, but my appetite is way more voracious than my documenting skills, and so I took almost no photos at all.

No entanto, e desde que comecei a&amp;nbsp;visitar blogues como &lt;a href="http://www.simplybreakfast.blogspot.com/"&gt;este&lt;/a&gt;, tenho tido cada vez mais vontade de variar e experimentar novos pequenos-almoços, daqueles que nos deixam bem-dispostas para o resto do dia!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pancakes for breakfast.

Ao folhear revistas e livros de culinária, sou imediatamente atraída pelo seu grafismo e &lt;em&gt;styling&lt;/em&gt; e, quanto mais simples, luminosa e despretensiosa for a imagem, melhor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quando&amp;nbsp;vi as fotos&amp;nbsp;de &lt;a href="http://www.alexandervanberge.nl/"&gt;Alexander van Berge&lt;/a&gt;, encontrei tudo isso, e até mais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With the return of this blog's activity, so does Inspiration Thursday comes back and, with it, my modest wish that my choices inspire you in some way!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I think that photographing food is quite special and, to me -&amp;nbsp;that only need natural light to take some pretty basic photos - , a good image is worth a thousand words. As I go through culinary magazines and books I'm instantly attracted by its design and styling. The more simple, bright and unpretentious the image is, the better.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So when I saw &lt;a href="http://www.alexandervanberge.nl/"&gt;Alexander van Berge&lt;/a&gt;'s photos I found all that, and more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Barre uma forma com manteiga, ou margarina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lave,&amp;nbsp;descasque e raspe as cenouras. Numa taça, mexa os ovos e o açúcar. Numa outra taça, coloque a farinha, o fermento e as nozes e amêndas em pó já peneiradas, e, de seguida, junte os ovos pouco a pouco, nunca deixando de mexer. Depois adicione o óleo, o sal e as cenouras, mexendo bem a mistura até que fique homogénea. Despeje a mistura na forma e leve ao forno por 40 min.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC. Brush a tin with butter or margerine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wash, peel and grate the carrots. In a bowl, stir in the eggs and sugar. In another bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder and the groung walnuts and almonds. Then add the eggs, little by little, and never stop mixing the ingredients. Next, add the oil, a pinch of salt and the carrots. Mix everything well together. Pour the mixture in the tin and put it in the oven for 40 min.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDUNu_Ubl3I/AAAAAAAADOA/6Q9jotVmkow/s320/Arts+3+1235.jpg" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDUNg1jlmGI/AAAAAAAADNw/RmLESDv1WLc/s1600/Arts+3+1234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDUNg1jlmGI/AAAAAAAADNw/RmLESDv1WLc/s320/Arts+3+1234.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-7562213563585093658?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/7562213563585093658/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/gateau-aux-carrottes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/7562213563585093658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/7562213563585093658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/gateau-aux-carrottes.html' title='Gateau aux Carrottes'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDUNaeKyu9I/AAAAAAAADNo/hImBSTe01jw/s72-c/Arts+3+1229.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-8136941567171124035</id><published>2010-07-08T01:26:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-17T20:05:04.300+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bolo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Petit Larousse du Chocolat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cake'/><title type='text'>Quatre-quarts au chocolat</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Para mim,&amp;nbsp;nada é tão gratificante como um simples e muito bom bolo de chocolate, com o sabor punjente e levemente amargo do cacau. Conforta-me, abstrai-me e deixa-me terrivelmente bem-disposta!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To me, nothing is as gratifying as a simple and very good chocolate cake, with the rich and slightly bitter flavour of the cocoa.

Barre e enfarinhe uma forma de 25 x 8 cm (tipo bolo inglês).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Numa taça, mexa a manteiga até esta adquirir uma consistência cremosa, juntando, de seguida, o açúcar. Mexa bem até a mistura fique mais clara e tipo mousse. Adicione os ovos, um a um, e mexa bem. De seguida, junte a farinha, o fermento e o cacau peneirados.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Encha três quartos da forma com a mistura&amp;nbsp;e leve-a ao forno por 45 min. É delicioso!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dica:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Para quem, como eu, prefere bolos com pouco açúcar, pode perfeitamente reduzir a sua&amp;nbsp;quantidade para 200 gr. sem que isso altere muito o seu sabor. Pelo contrário, realça mais o sabor do cacau.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC. Brush and flour a 25 x 8 cm tin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a bowl, stir the butter until it becames more creamy and then add the sugar. Mix it well together until the mixture gets lighter and has a mousse consistency. After that, add in the eggs, one by one, and mix it well. Then, add the flour, baking powder and cocoa already sifted.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fill in three quarters of the tin with the mixture&amp;nbsp;and put it in the oven for 45 min. It's delicious!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip:&lt;/strong&gt; For&amp;nbsp;those who, like me, prefer cakes with less sugar, you can reduce it's quantity to 200 gr. and it won't affect the flavour. It will actually enhance the flavour of the cocoa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-8136941567171124035?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/8136941567171124035/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/quatre-quarts-au-chocolat.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8136941567171124035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8136941567171124035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/quatre-quarts-au-chocolat.html' title='Quatre-quarts au chocolat'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDUTCMFpLwI/AAAAAAAADOY/3lX0vb0TZRY/s72-c/Arts+3+1241.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-5368449800622014905</id><published>2010-07-06T20:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-06T20:07:31.222+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Back!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDN7oDUyHfI/AAAAAAAADMI/D5F_eSjyoqw/s320/Arts+3+118.jpg" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDN7sZtNPVI/AAAAAAAADMQ/N33al7DJNWE/s1600/Arts+3+478.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TDN7sZtNPVI/AAAAAAAADMQ/N33al7DJNWE/s320/Arts+3+478.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Eu tenho a irritante tendência para deixar projectos a meio.

Peixe fresco assado na brasa, limonada com hortelã, tomate com oregãos, e laranjas, o sabor punjente das laranjas. Lembram-me dias longos e conversas à beira-mar, refeições no quintal e sestas com janelas abertas. Por tudo isto decidi fazer uma tarte de laranja, que só sabe a laranja e a nada mais do que... laranja.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm missing Summer flavours. Grilled fresh fish, lemonade with mint, tomatoes with oregano, and orange, the rich flavour of oranges. They remind me of long days and conversations at the seaside, backyard meals and naps with&amp;nbsp;open windows. Because of all that I decided to make an orange pie that only tastes like orange and nothing&amp;nbsp;more than... orange.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Primeiro, faça a massa ou a &lt;em&gt;pâte sucrée &lt;/em&gt;(esta receita totaliza 500 gr.).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, make the pastry or pâte sucrée (this recipe makes about 500 gr.).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;210 gr. farinha &lt;em&gt;(all purpose flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;85 gr.&amp;nbsp;açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(icing sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 ovo &lt;em&gt;(egg)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1/2 vagem de baunilha (&lt;em&gt;vanilla pod)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;125 gr. manteiga amolecida&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(softened butter)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;25 gr. amêndoas em&amp;nbsp;pó&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(ground almonds)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 clhr. café de sal fino&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(coffeespoon salt)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Peneire a farinha e o açúcar separadamente. Abra&amp;nbsp;uma vagem de baunilha ao meio e use apenas as sementes de uma metade. Corte a manteiga em cubos, coloque-os numa taça&amp;nbsp;e mexa levemente para ficar mais cremosa. De seguida, adicione o açúcar, a amêndoa em pó, o sal, as sementes de baunilha, o ovo e a farinha, mexendo bem sempre que cada ingrediente for adicionado para que fique bem incorporado. Forme uma bola com a&amp;nbsp;massa, envolva-a com película aderente e coloque-a&amp;nbsp;no frigorífico durante duas horas. &lt;strong&gt;Nota:&lt;/strong&gt; se não tiver a vagem de baunilha pode substituí-la por&amp;nbsp;uma colher de chá de extracto de baunilha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sift the flour and the sugar separately. Open a vanilla pod in two and use the seeds from one half. Cut the butter into small cubs, place them&amp;nbsp;in a bowl and stirr it lightly just to make it more creamy. After that, add the sugar, the ground almonds, the salt, the vanilla seeds, the egg and the flour,&amp;nbsp;and mix&amp;nbsp;the ingredients&amp;nbsp;well everytime you add one. Once every ingredient is well incorporated, make a ball out of the pastry, wrap it in cling film and place it in the fridge for two hours. &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; if you haven't got a vanilla pod you can replace it&amp;nbsp;with one teaspoon of vanilla extract.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S8ubdo65ArI/AAAAAAAAClc/tbpd2pVF2Rk/s1600/tartelaranja.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="299" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S8ubdo65ArI/AAAAAAAAClc/tbpd2pVF2Rk/s400/tartelaranja.JPG" style="height: 299px; width: 429px;" width="429" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;250 gr. massa &lt;em&gt;(pastry)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3 laranjas &lt;em&gt;(oranges)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3 ovos &lt;em&gt;(eggs)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;100 gr. açúcar &lt;em&gt;(sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;80 gr. manteiga derretida &lt;em&gt;(melted butter)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 190ºC e barre uma tarteira com manteiga ou margarina. Estenda a massa até ficar com cerca de 3 mm de grossura e coloque-a na tarteira. Pique o fundo com um garfo, cubra-o com um disco de papel vegetal e feijões secos. Baixe a temperatura do forno para 180ºC e coloque a massa no forno por 20 min.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Raspe as três laranjas e tire-lhes o sumo. Numa taça, mexa os ovos, o açúcar, a manteiga, o sumo e a raspa das laranjas, e mexa bem todos os ingredientes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Tire a massa do forno (retire o papel vegetal e os feijões secos) e despeje a mistura.

Roll out the pastry until it&amp;nbsp;is about 3 mm thick and line it onto the tin. Pick the bottom of the pastry with a fork, cover it with a disc of parchment paper and dried beans.

E sinto-me tão envergonhada. Sei que este pequenino e despretensioso&amp;nbsp;blogue tem leitores assíduos e atenciosos, e peço desculpas pela falha. &lt;em&gt;Mea culpa!&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Culpas à parte, o &lt;em&gt;Inspiration Thursday&lt;/em&gt; de hoje diz respeito a um dos produtos mais consumidos à escala planetária e creio que, mesmo para quem não o consome, seria impensável passar um dia inteiro sem ver alguém a fazê-lo. Falo-vos do café, pois claro. Eu sou das infelizes criaturas que, devido a um&amp;nbsp;estômago sensível, foi forçada a reduzir dramaticamente a&amp;nbsp;ingestão de café e passar-se para o lado dos descafeinados. Pois bem, pelo menos o cheiro de café pela manhã ninguém me tira.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have something to confess. I haven't published&amp;nbsp;last week's&amp;nbsp;Inspiration Thursday because I completely forgot to! And I feel oh so embarassed. I know this little and unpretensious blog has attentive and assiduous readers, so I'm sorry. Mea culpa!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Guilt aside, today's&amp;nbsp;Inspiration Thursday is about one of the most consumed products on a planetary level and I believe that even the people who can't consume it cannot imagine spending a hole day without seeing someone doing so. I'm talking about coffee, of course. I'm one of the unfortunate creatures that, due to a sensitive stomach, has been forced to dramatically reduce coffee drinking and passing on to the decaf side. Oh well, at least no one can take me away from the smell of the coffee in the morning.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Sempre que fico muito tempo sem fazer alguma coisa, é inevitável duvidar da minha capacidade de voltar a fazê-la, e bem. Admito, sou um bocadinho de nada neurótica. Assim, decidi que nada seria melhor do que aproveitar a época pascoal para voltar à cozinha e fazer algo tão simples quanto delicioso. &lt;em&gt;Brownies&lt;/em&gt;, pois então. Seria apenas uma questão de escrever a receita e levá-la comigo para casa da minha avó materna em Abrantes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Obviamente, esqueci-me de copiar a receita, mas, de tanto a ler, lembrava-me de todos os ingredientes e fazia uma leve ideia das suas quantidades. Eis o que aconteceu: usei mais chocolate, menos açúcar, muito mais farinha, menos manteiga e&amp;nbsp;forçosamente mais um ovo do que na receita original. E, extraordinariamente,&amp;nbsp;aquilo que&amp;nbsp;se poderia ter transformado num enorme&amp;nbsp;desastre ficou delicioso!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;If I spend a lot of time without doing something, I will inevitably doubt my hability to&amp;nbsp;redo it in a proper way. I admit, I'm a tiny little bit neurotic. So, I decided that nothing would be better than easter season&amp;nbsp;for me to go back to cooking&amp;nbsp;and, of course, I&amp;nbsp;had to choose something simple and delicious. Brownies, of course. It would only be a&amp;nbsp;question of writing down the recipe and taking it with me to my grandemother's house in &lt;/em&gt;Abrantes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obviously, I forgot to write down the recipe, but, since I read it so many times, I remembered all of&amp;nbsp;its ingredients and had some idea of their&amp;nbsp;quantities. So here's what happened: I used more chocolate, less sugar, a lot more flour, less butter and forcibly one more egg than the original recipe. And extraordinarily, what could&amp;nbsp;have become a major disaster turned out to be delicious!&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S7upZrhcGBI/AAAAAAAACg8/TgDad0FdJsQ/s1600/brownie2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" nt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S7upZrhcGBI/AAAAAAAACg8/TgDad0FdJsQ/s400/brownie2.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;70 gr. de chocolate negro &lt;em&gt;(dark chocolate)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;125 gr. de manteiga &lt;em&gt;(butter)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;2 ovos &lt;em&gt;(eggs)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;150 gr. de açúcar &lt;em&gt;(caster sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;60 gr. de farinha &lt;em&gt;(all-purpose flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;100 gr. de nozes &lt;em&gt;(walnuts)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 180ºC e barre uma forma quadrada ou rectangular com manteiga. Parta o chocolate em bocados, derreta-o em banho-maria e em lume branco, e deixe arrefecer. Corte a manteiga em cubos, derreta-a e deixe, também, arrefecer. Numa tigela, mexa os ovos e o açúcar, e adicione a manteiga e o chocolate. Peneire a farinha&amp;nbsp;e junte-a à mistura. Corte as nozes grosseiramente e junte-as, também, à mistura. Coloque a massa na forma e leve a cozer por cerca de 15 a 20 min. A massa deve ficar bem húmida. Tire do forno, deixe arrefecer e corte em quadrados.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 180ºC and brush a square or rectangular tin with butter. Break the chocolate, melt it in a double pan and low heat, and let it cool. Cut the butter into cubs, melt it and let it cool also. In a bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar, and then add the butter and the chocolate. Sift in the flour. Roughly chop the walnuts and add them to the mixture. Place the dough in the tin and put it in the oven for 15 to 20 min. The dough should be really moist. Take it off the oven, let it cool and cut it into squares.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Uma vez provado, para sempre viciado. Vivemos uma vida inteira constantemente consolados pela sua&amp;nbsp;presença reconfortante em todas as prateleiras de supermercados, em todas as vitrines de pastelarias, em todos os segundos publicitários. Mas, acreditem em mim, nunca seremos verdadeiramente felizes até provarmos um bombom artesanal. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chocolate. Once you taste it, you can never go back. We live our whole lives constantly comforted by its warming presence in&amp;nbsp;every supermarkets' stand, in&amp;nbsp;every bakerys' window, in every comercials' seconds. But believe me when I say we will never&amp;nbsp;be truly happy until we taste a handmade chocolate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

já há muito que vos era devido, e o seu rascunho esteve guardado desde que regressei, mas ainda vazio de palavras, pois por muito que quisesse escrever, o facto de estar doente entorpecia-me sempre a capacidade de olhar para o monitor sem ficar com dores de cabeça. É verdade, fui constipada e voltei para ficar irremediavelmente engripada e afastada durante muito tempo da cozinha e das minhas receitas semanais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mas nem tudo foram desventuras, e creio que as fotografias provam isso mesmo. E a mim provam-me que ainda tenho saudades. Londres é como uma matryoshka. Há uma cidade dentro da cidade dentro da cidade e por aí fora. O gozo está em ir descobrindo as camadas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a long due post and its draft has been saved ever since I came back, but still empty of words. Even with my will to write, the fact that I was sick really kept me from looking at the screen for too long or else I would get a headache. In fact, I went to London with a cold and came back to be hopelessly with a flu and away from my kitchen and weekly recipes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;But not all were misadventures, and I think the photos confirm it. To me they show that I'm still a bit nostalgic. London is like a matryoshka doll. There's a city inside a city inside a city and so forth. The pleasure comes from finding the layers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S6_b8GBqPOI/AAAAAAAACXs/5S8J35Vb2Bk/s1600/london01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Eu, pelo menos, sinto. Imagino-me sentada numa esplanada com mesas de ferro envelhecido, a tomar o meu café e a ler as cartas de Simone Beauvoir a Jean-Paul Sartre. Sim, é um tremendo cliché, mas sabe tão bem. Por isso, adoro dizer &lt;em&gt;croissants&lt;/em&gt;. E adoro comer &lt;em&gt;croissants&lt;/em&gt;. E acreditem que daqui a uns tempos irei dizer que adoro fazer &lt;em&gt;croissants&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Every time we say something in french, we immediately feel more european and wise, non? I, at least, do. I imagine myself sitting down in a terrace with old iron table, drinking my coffee and reading the letters from Simone Beauvoir to Jean-Paul Sartre. Yes, it is a tremendous cliché, but it feels so good. Therefore, I love to say croissants. And I love to eat croissants. And believe me that soon I'll say that I love making croissants!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S5BAforQICI/AAAAAAAACR0/zUdEbtg_dTs/s1600-h/croissant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

E muito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fiz esta receita pela primeira vez no domingo, tendo em conta de que me manteria dentro do prazo que estabeleci para mim mesma - fazer uma receita &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/delice-au-chocolat.html"&gt;deste livro&lt;/a&gt; uma vez por semana. O resultado não podia ter sido pior e passei o resto do dia a rever todas as minhas acções na cozinha e a compará-las com o que estava indicado na receita. Infelizmente, não tinha feito nada de errado. Digo infelizmente, pois quando sabemos que cometemos um erro podemos remediá-lo e tudo volta ao normal. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm not a person to get irritated when things go wrong, but when they go terribly wrong and I'm the only one responsible for that, that's when I get irritated.

The result couldn't have been worst and I spent the rest of the day reviewing my actions in the kitchen and matching them with the recipe. Unfortunately, I hadn't make anything wrong. I say unfortunately because when we realize we made a mistake there's always a chance to fix it and go back to normal.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4QlUsEVqnI/AAAAAAAACDM/7sjrt2LVf1E/s320/Arts+3+1158.jpg" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4QlevLOC7I/AAAAAAAACDU/abOBeKJMECQ/s1600-h/Arts+3+1159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4QlevLOC7I/AAAAAAAACDU/abOBeKJMECQ/s320/Arts+3+1159.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aqui está a receita original &lt;em&gt;(here is the original recipe)&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;tigela de chá &lt;em&gt;(bowl of tea)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;120 gr. de passas &lt;em&gt;(raisins)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;240 gr. de farinha &lt;em&gt;(all purpose flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;pitada de sal &lt;em&gt;(pinch of salt)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;90 gr. de açúcar &lt;em&gt;(caster sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;10 gr. de fermento &lt;em&gt;(baking powder)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;100 gr. de manteiga &lt;em&gt;(unsalted butter)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;20 cl. de leite &lt;em&gt;(milk)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1 ovo &lt;em&gt;(egg)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 200ºC. Prepare o chá e coloque as passas de molho durante uma hora, após a qual as deve retirar e secar. Peneire a farinha para uma tigela e adicione o açúcar, o fermento e uma pitada de sal, e mexa tudo. Corte a manteiga em cubos e vá juntando à mistura pouco a pouco até esta ficar um pouco granulada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Adicione o leite e o ovo e continue a mexer até a massa ficar bem homogénea, altura em que deve juntar as passas e mexer mais um pouco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Coloque farinha numa superfície plana e estenda a massa até esta ficar com cerca de 1cm de espessura. De seguida, corte a massa em discos com a ajuda de um copo e leve ao forno por 10 min.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 200ºC. Make tea and soak the raisins for one hour, after which you should take them out and let them dry. Sift the flour onto a bowl and add the sugar, the baking powder and a pinch of salt, and mix everything. Cut the butter into cubes and add them to the mix little by little, until it gets a bit grainy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Add in the milk and the egg and keep mixing until the dough is homogeneous, at which time you should add the raisins and mix a bit more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Place some flour onto a working surface and roll out the dough until it is 1cm thick. After that cut the dough in smal discs with the help of a glass and put it in the oven for 10 min.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4Qli-D4i0I/AAAAAAAACDc/u1zh042Dlgo/s1600-h/Arts+3+1162.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4Qli-D4i0I/AAAAAAAACDc/u1zh042Dlgo/s400/Arts+3+1162.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parece perfeito?&lt;/strong&gt; Infelizmente não é. A massa fica sempre demasiado líquida para sequer se pensar em amassá-la e, ao resolver colocar bocados de massa directamente no tabuleiro, acabei por ter scones esborrachados, cozidos por fora e mal cozidos por dentro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hoje, ao fazer a receita pela terceira vez (adicionando compota de amoras silvestres em vez de passas)&amp;nbsp;e depois de diminuir a quantidade de leite, a massa continuava demasiado líquida, portanto lembrei-me de&amp;nbsp;despejar pequenas quantidades de massa em&amp;nbsp;formas de &lt;em&gt;muffins&lt;/em&gt;. Não estão perfeitos, mas ficaram largamente melhores que os seus antecessores. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A minha questão é: qual é o problema em tudo isto? Demasiado leite ou pouca farinha? Numa próxima vez irei aumentar a quantidade de farinha de 240 gr. para 340 gr. e nessa altura partilharei o resultado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sounds perfect&lt;/strong&gt;? Unfortunately it isn't. The dough&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;always too liquid to even consider&amp;nbsp;kneading and, when I decided to place bits of dough directly in the tray, I ended up with squashed scones, cooked on the outside and under-cooked on the inside.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today, after making the recipe for the third time (adding blackberry jam instead of raisins)&amp;nbsp;and reducing the amount of milk, the dough was still too liquide, so I remenbered to pour small amounts of dough in muffin tins. They aren't perfect, but are far better than their predecessors.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So my question is: what&amp;nbsp;is the problem? Too much milk or too little flour? Next time I will increse the amount of flour from 240 gr. to 340 gr. and then I'll share the outcome.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-1529931688049328075?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/1529931688049328075/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/scones-two-days-later.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1529931688049328075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1529931688049328075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/scones-two-days-later.html' title='Scones - Two days later'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S4QlUsEVqnI/AAAAAAAACDM/7sjrt2LVf1E/s72-c/Arts+3+1158.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-3637061672251515132</id><published>2010-02-20T15:00:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-02-20T15:00:40.576Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspiration'/><title type='text'>Inspiration plus - iSandwich</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5P2gKYv2pGY&amp;hl=pt_BR&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5P2gKYv2pGY&amp;hl=pt_BR&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;♥♥♥ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-3637061672251515132?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/3637061672251515132/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-plus-isandwich.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/3637061672251515132'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/3637061672251515132'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-plus-isandwich.html' title='Inspiration plus - iSandwich'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-2555806164780932512</id><published>2010-02-18T01:57:00.003Z</published><updated>2010-02-18T02:01:26.405Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration thursday'/><title type='text'>Inspiration Thursday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Panquecas... Deixem-me tirar um momento para me babar e voltar a falar sobre elas já restabelecida. Já está! É interessante que goste tanto de panquecas, tanto pelo sabor como pelo aspecto, e seja&amp;nbsp;tão raro comê-las. De facto, no &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/search/label/panquecas"&gt;período em que mais as comi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;acabei por descobrir, da pior maneira, que o meu estômago não as tolera muito bem. Mas olhar não faz mal a ninguém!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pancakes... Let me take a moment to drool and I'll be back fully restored. Done! It's interesting that I like pancakes so much - for their flavour as well as looks - and it is so rare for me to eat them. In fact, when I &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/search/label/panquecas"&gt;ate them the most&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I discovered the hard way that my stomach doesn't tolerate them very well.

Numa taça coloque os ovos, o açúcar e uma pitada de sal e misture tudo. Coloque a taça por cima da panela e vá mexendo a mistura vigorosamente até que a mesma aumente de volume (cerca do dobro).

Barre uma forma pequena com manteiga e despeje a massa.

In a bowl place the eggs, the sugar and a pinch of salt and mix. Place the bowl on top of the pan and mix it vigorously until it increases volume (double or so). As soon as that happens take the bowl of the heat and continue to beat the mixture until it cools off.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then, add the sifted flour and the zest of a lemon, and mix everything until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Put the dough in a pastry bag nr.10 and&amp;nbsp;place little bands (about 10 cm long) in the pan. Be careful so that the bands don't glue. When then turn golden, take them out of the pan and place them onto absorbent paper to take off the excess oil. When all the bands are fried and less oily, pass them through sugar and they are ready to serve.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none;

São dias em que caminhamos numa área cinzenta, em que só estamos bem onde não estamos e só queremos ir onde não vamos. São esses os dias em que&amp;nbsp;apenas ao fazer aquilo que nós dá prazer genuíno conseguimos voltar lentamente a encontrar o nosso equilíbrio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ontem foi um desses dias para mim, e só um final de tarde passado a inventar uma receita me devolveu o bom-humor habitual. Soube bem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;We are all familiar with those days when we're not exactly happy nor completely moody. We feel like we're walking in a grey area, knowing we could only feel fine by doing just the opposite we do all day. Those are the days where only by doing what brings us genuine pleasure we can slowly find our balance again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday was one of those days for me, and the only way I got my good mood back was by spending the evening inventing a recipe and cooking it. It felt nice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img border="0" height="320" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2sHx6qjk6I/AAAAAAAABvU/giMEP8cGOeA/s320/Arts+3+1071.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2sH5e39DrI/AAAAAAAABvc/MAj0k6KskQ4/s1600-h/Arts+3+1063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2sH5e39DrI/AAAAAAAABvc/MAj0k6KskQ4/s320/Arts+3+1063.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Cozinhar por impulso e apenas com&amp;nbsp;alguns ingredientes que tenha disponíveis é para mim a forma mais satisfatória de cozinhar. Não há demoras e tudo se torna mais simples e divertido, que é o que se procura, principalmente num&amp;nbsp;dia&amp;nbsp;em que pouca coisa&amp;nbsp;nos anima.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pegando no que sobrou da &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-kiwis.html"&gt;massa&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;usada na&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-pommes.html"&gt;tarte de maçã&lt;/a&gt;, forrei&amp;nbsp;seis&amp;nbsp;mini tarteiras e depois "polvilhei" o fundo com nozes cortadas à balda (a linguagem técnica usada neste blogue é impressionante).&amp;nbsp;E o que é que pode confortar mais do que chocolate? Nada, na minha opinião. Assim,&amp;nbsp;pus&amp;nbsp;metade de um pacote de natas&amp;nbsp;em lume muito baixo até começar a levantar fervura, adicionando de seguida metade de uma tablete de chocolate meio-amargo&amp;nbsp;e mexendo sempre até derreter. De seguida, juntei uma chávena e meia de café e uma pitada de açúcar em pó,&amp;nbsp;e continuei a mexer até se incorporar bem. Neste ponto, desliguei o lume e deixei arrefecer a mistura por uns minutos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Numa&amp;nbsp;taça à parte,&amp;nbsp;bati&amp;nbsp;um ovo que, depois, juntei em três vezes à mistura de chocolate. Convém&amp;nbsp;juntar pouco a pouco para que o ovo fique à temperatura do chocolate e não começe a cozinhar com o calor.&amp;nbsp;Nesta altura foi só despejar o recheio&amp;nbsp;por cima das nozes e levar ao forno&amp;nbsp;por cerca de&amp;nbsp;30 min. ou até a massa ficar algo dourada. &lt;em&gt;Et voilá&lt;/em&gt;, saboroso e infinitamente satisfatório!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impulsive cooking with just a few available ingredients is for&amp;nbsp;me the most satisfactory way of cooking. There's not much time waisted and everything&amp;nbsp;is more simple and enjoyable, and that's what&amp;nbsp;we are looking for in a day where&amp;nbsp;practically nothing cheers us up.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I started by using the&amp;nbsp;leftover &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-kiwis.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;pastry&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; used in the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-pommes.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;apple pie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;and lined it&amp;nbsp;on six tartelette tins, and then sprinkled a few roughly chopped nuts&amp;nbsp;on the bottom. And what can be more comforting than chocolate? For&amp;nbsp;me, nothing. So, I've put half of a pack of sour cream in very low heat and when it started to simmer I added half of a semisweet chocolate tablet and continued stirring until it melted. Then I added a cup of coffee and&amp;nbsp;a pinch of icing sugar and continued stirring&amp;nbsp;until everything blended well together. At this point I turned the heat of and&amp;nbsp;let the mixture cool for a few minutes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a bowl I've whisked an egg that I added&amp;nbsp;to the mixture in three times. You really have to do this little by little so that the egg reaches the chocolate temperature and doesn't start cooking with the&amp;nbsp;its heat. By this time, all I had to do was pour the mixture on top of the nuts and put everything in the oven&amp;nbsp;for about 30 min. or until the pastry gets a bit golden. Et voilá! Highly&amp;nbsp;delicious and satisfactory!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-8982622646299207835?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/8982622646299207835/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8982622646299207835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/8982622646299207835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html' title='♥♥'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2sHx6qjk6I/AAAAAAAABvU/giMEP8cGOeA/s72-c/Arts+3+1071.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-6138142132241155320</id><published>2010-02-04T04:24:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-02-04T04:24:44.832Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration thursday'/><title type='text'>Inspiration Thursday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Quase em pé de igualdade com o prazer de saborear uma boa comida está o prazer de saboreá-la num local que nos inspira e&amp;nbsp;nos conforta.

Há qualquer coisa numa boa maçã, das que estalam quando se cortam em metade, que me faz pensar em tudo isto. E quando o cheiro da tarte de maçã e canela invade a minha casa, acho que não há sentimento mais reconfortante do que este. A certeza de que, ao&amp;nbsp;juntar o ingrediente&amp;nbsp;A ao ingrediente&amp;nbsp;B, vou obter sempre o mesmo resultado maravilhoso. Tão simples e tão bom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Apples taste like childhood,&amp;nbsp;freshness, summer vacations at our grandparents house, light, sun. There's something about a good apple, like the ones that&amp;nbsp;pop when you cut them in half, that makes me thing about all this things. And when the smell of the&amp;nbsp;apple pie and the cinnamon invades my house I think there isn't a more comforting&amp;nbsp;feeling than this. The certainty that, by addind the ingredient A to the ingredient B, I'm going to get the same wonderful result every single time. So simple and so good.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2R4RU2vNpI/AAAAAAAABr0/c2NifWKBqeY/s1600-h/tartepommes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" kt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2R4RU2vNpI/AAAAAAAABr0/c2NifWKBqeY/s640/tartepommes.JPG" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;3oo gr. de massa &lt;em&gt;(pastry)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;1 kg. de maçãs &lt;em&gt;(apples)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;1 ovo &lt;em&gt;(egg)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;pitada de canela a gosto &lt;em&gt;(pinch of cinnamon at your taste)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;200 gr. de açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(icing sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;50 gr. de farinha &lt;em&gt;(all-purpose flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 200ºC e barre uma tarteira com manteiga.&amp;nbsp;Numa tigela,&amp;nbsp;bata o ovo com uma pitada de canela e uma colher de sopa de açúcar em pó. Descasque as maçãs, corte-as em quartos e depois em finas lâminas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Depois de colocar a massa na forma, ponha a mistura de ovo e canela no fundo e, de seguida, espalhe 150 gr. de açúcar em pó, mais uma pitada de canela e a farinha. Disponha as maçãs. Leve ao forno por 45 min. Logo que a tarte esteja fria, polvilhe o resto do açúcar em pó e está pronta a servir.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 200ºC and brush a pie tin with butter. In a bowl mix in the eggs with a pinch of cinnamon and a tablespoon of icing sugar. Peel the apples, cut them in quarters and then laminate them.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;After placing the pastry&amp;nbsp;on the pie tin, pour the egg and cinnamon mix, plus 150 gr. of icing sugar, another pinch of cinnamon and the flour.&amp;nbsp;Lay in the apples. Take it to the oven for 45 min. When the pie is cold, sprinkle the rest of the icing sugar and it's ready to serve.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2R4TXWACHI/AAAAAAAABr8/XFhyKSF1a8U/s1600-h/tartepommes2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" kt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2R4TXWACHI/AAAAAAAABr8/XFhyKSF1a8U/s400/tartepommes2.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Há coisas que se perdem na tradução. No meu caso, e mesmo depois de ter lido a receita umas 10 vezes, só depois da tarte estar cozinhada é que me apercebi de que interpretei mal um processo da receita. Em vez de colocar a mistura toda do ovo e da canela no fundo da tarte, percebi que metade dessa mistura ficaria no fundo e a outra metade colocar-se-ia antes das maçãs. Daí a textura tão cremosa que se vê nas fotos. Nada de desânimos. Tenho a certeza de que está óptima!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some things get lost in translation. In my case, and even after reading the recipe for about 10 times, it was&amp;nbsp;only after the pie was cooked that I realized that I missinterpreted a part of the recipe. Instead of placing all the egg and cinnamon mix on the bottom of the pie, I understood that half of the mixture would be in the bottom and the other half would be placed right before the apples. Hence the cream you see in the photos. No worries for me. I'm sure it's great!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-5342290182649194633?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/5342290182649194633/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-pommes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5342290182649194633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5342290182649194633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/tarte-aux-pommes.html' title='Tarte aux pommes'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2R4RU2vNpI/AAAAAAAABr0/c2NifWKBqeY/s72-c/tartepommes.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-3308293315039056889</id><published>2010-01-28T22:18:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-01-28T22:18:28.672Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration thursday'/><title type='text'>Inspiration Thursday</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Eu adoro cozinhas, mas não me basta ter&amp;nbsp;um fogão e um lava-loiças para me apaixonar. Há qualquer coisa de inexplicavelmente apelativo numa cozinha que tem todos os elementos de que gostamos, e isso vê-se&amp;nbsp;quando damos por nós, ao longo de um jantar com família ou amigos, a pararmos vezes sem conta na cozinha só para conversar mais um pouco. Sonho com uma cozinha assim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I love kitchens, but I don't fall in love with just a stove and a dish-washer. There's something quite apealing about a kitchen that has all the elements we like and adore, and we can see that when, in the course of a dinner with family or friends, we stop in the kitchen over and over again just to chat a little bit more. I dream of having a kitchen like that.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S2H_z0X8mbI/AAAAAAAABqs/ZL0oel60qzM/s1600-h/hackney-house_08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

No entanto, e em defesa da minha honra, devo apelar razões de ordem ecológica e social. Sim, eu tinha uma caixa de kiwis praticamente intacta na cozinha e, sendo uma defensora da poupança e do aproveitamento de recursos, não me pareceu correcto gastar dinheiro em mais fruta quando tinha tanta por aproveitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Para além de tudo isso, esta receita é tão fácil de&amp;nbsp;executar que pode ser feita com todo o tipo de fruta. Já imagino morangos, maçãs, pêras, mirtilos, cerejas, amoras, o que quiserem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ok, I confess. The original recipe isn't made with kiwis, but plums. However, I must defend my honor&amp;nbsp;by appealing for ecological and social reasons. Yes, I had a box of kiwis in my kitchen and, being an advocate for saving money and good use of resources, it just didn't feel right to spend money on more fruit when I had plenty to work with.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Besides, this is such an easy recipe to make that it can be done with all kinds of fruit. I can already image strawberries, apples, pears, blueberries, cherries, blackberries, you name it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1srLmII7II/AAAAAAAABls/Y4o4bTkQWw8/s1600-h/tartekiwis.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="262" mt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1srLmII7II/AAAAAAAABls/Y4o4bTkQWw8/s400/tartekiwis.JPG" style="height: 293px; width: 437px;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Para a massa &lt;em&gt;(for the pastry)*&lt;/em&gt; - também conhecida por&lt;em&gt; pâte brisée (also known as pâte brisée)&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;*estas quantidades dão para 500 gr. de massa e o excedente pode ser congelado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;*&lt;em&gt;this quantities make 500 gr. of pastryand the&amp;nbsp;excess can be frozen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;190 gr. manteiga à temperatura ambiente&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(butter at room temperature)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;1 colher café&amp;nbsp;de sal fino &lt;em&gt;(teaspoon of salt)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;5 cl. de leite frio ou água &lt;em&gt;(cold&amp;nbsp;milk or water)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;250 gr.&amp;nbsp;farinha &lt;em&gt;(all-purpose flour)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Coloque a manteiga numa tigela e mexa com uma espátula até ficar mais cremosa. De seguida, junte o leite ou a água e mexa mais um pouco. Não é necessário tentar incorporar o líquido todo na manteiga. Adicione a farinha e mexa até que os ingredientes se juntem. Para trabalhar a massa, deite a mistura num balcão e trabalhe-a com as mãos. Logo que se forme uma massa consistente, faça um bola, embrulhe-a em papel aderente e deixe-a a descansar no frigorífico por&amp;nbsp;duas horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Place the butter in a bowl and stir it with a spatula to make it more creamy. Then, add the milk or the water and stir a little bit more. You don't have to incorporate all the liquide in the butter. After that, add the flour and mix until the ingredients are joined. To work the dough, place the mixture on a counter and knead it with your hands. When the dough is consistent, make a ball, wrap it in adherent paper and leave it to rest in the fridge for two hours.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1srNEkkioI/AAAAAAAABl0/VozctD3rBWE/s1600-h/tartekiwis2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" mt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1srNEkkioI/AAAAAAAABl0/VozctD3rBWE/s400/tartekiwis2.JPG" style="height: 297px; width: 438px;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Para a tarte &lt;em&gt;(for the pie)&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;300 gr. massa &lt;em&gt;(pastry)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;500 gr.&amp;nbsp;fruta &lt;em&gt;(fruit)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;110 gr. açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(icing sugar)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 200ºC. Estenda a massa até ficar com cerca de 4 mm de grossura e coloque-a numa tarteira já barrada com manteiga. Corte o excedente no rebordo e pique o fundo da massa levemente com um garfo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;De seguida, polvilhe o fundo com 40 gr. de açúcar em pó e disponha a fruta por cima. Polvilhe mais 40 gr. de açúcar em pó por cima da fruta. Leve ao forno por 30 min. e deixe arrefecer completamente. Polvilhe a tarte com as restantes 30 gr. de açúcar em pó e está pronta a servir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 200ªC. Roll out the dough so it can be approx. 4 mm thick and then line it in a pie tin that has already been brushed with butter. Cut off&amp;nbsp;the excess of pastry in the edges and pick slightly&amp;nbsp;the bottom of the pastry with a fork.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then spronkle the bottom of the pastry with 40 gr. of icing sugar and dispose the fruit on top. Sprinkle another 40 gr. on top of the fruit. Put it in the oven for 30 min. and let it cool completely. Sprinkle the pie with the rest 30 gr. of icing sugar and it is ready to serve.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;E o que posso dizer da experiência? A massa ficou surpreendentemente boa, tendo em conta que ia tendo uma crise de nervos por causa da "mistura" da manteiga com o leite, que resolvi logo ao saltar esse ponto e adicionar a farinha. Quanto aos kiwis, e apesar de terem estado uma boa semana ainda a amadurecer na caixa, devo dizer que estão um pouco ácidos para o meu gosto pessoal, mas já&amp;nbsp;resolvi essa situação ao acompanhar a tarte com uma bola de gelado de baunilha. Outra coisa, o açúcar em pó que eu polvilhei por cima da tarte quando esta já estava mais do fria foi constantemente absorvido pela fruta, portanto perdeu-se o efeito romântico nessa parte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And what can I say of the experience? The pastry was surprisingly good, especially after I had an almost meltdown because of the butter and milk "mixture" that I solved by skipping that point and adding the flour right away. As for the kiwis, and despite the fact that they had been&amp;nbsp;maturing for&amp;nbsp;a week, I must say they're a bit sour for my taste, but I solved the problem by pairing the pie&amp;nbsp;with a good ice-cream ball. Oh, and one other thing.&amp;nbsp;I sprinkled the icing sugar on top of the pie when it was super cold and it was constantly absorbed by the fruit. So, the pretty efect was lost in that part.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Já o tinha visto na estante da livraria, sem poder folheá-lo, preso que estava numa embalagem de plástico antipática e reluzente. Peguei no livro, senti-lhe o peso, e devorei a imagem estampada na capa. Impossível abandoná-la.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hoje começo algo que eu espero tornar rotina. Digo espero, pois sou a pessoa menos disciplinada que conheço, e é-me muito difícil iniciar uma nova tarefa e torná-la rotineira. Este vai ser, portanto, um grande desafio. O desafio de fazer a maior parte das receitas que estão neste livro. Uma receita por semana e aventura de cozinhá-la. Esta não é uma ideia nova, e quem viu ou leu o &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135503/"&gt;Julie&amp;amp;Julia&lt;/a&gt; sabe bem a que me refiro, mas espero personalizá-la, aprender com ela, e&amp;nbsp;partilhá-la convosco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I had seen it. I had seen it&amp;nbsp;on the shelf of the bookstore and couldn't browse through it, trapped as it was in an unsympathetic and shiny plastic package. I picked up the book, felt its weight, and devoured the printed image on its cover. It was impossible to leave it there.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today I'm starting something I hope becomes routine. I say hope, because I'm the&amp;nbsp;least disciplined person I know and it's very hard for me to start a new task and make it part of my habits.&amp;nbsp;For that, this is going to be&amp;nbsp;a big challenge. The challenge to make most of the recipes&amp;nbsp;contained in this book. One recipe a week and the adventure of cooking it. This is not a new idea, and those of you who read&amp;nbsp;or saw &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135503/"&gt;Julie&amp;amp;Julia&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;know what I mean, but I really hope to make it mine, learn from it and share it with you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1CaaCoXWRI/AAAAAAAABfc/t-VbyyMvS0M/s1600-h/Arts+3+1011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1CaaCoXWRI/AAAAAAAABfc/t-VbyyMvS0M/s400/Arts+3+1011.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E para começar bem esta aventura escolhi fazer &lt;em&gt;Délice au chocolat &lt;/em&gt;(delícia de chocolate). Era uma escolha óbvia, pois para além do chocolate está classificada como fácil, e eu quis começar com o pé direito.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And to start this adventure in a good way I chose to make Délice au cholat (chocolate delight). For me it was an obvious choice, since besides the chocolate it is classified as easy, and I wanted to start with the right foot.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1ChwQTjmAI/AAAAAAAABfk/HbVeWfIQXiA/s1600-h/delicechocolat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1ChwQTjmAI/AAAAAAAABfk/HbVeWfIQXiA/s400/delicechocolat.JPG" style="height: 298px; width: 434px;" width="434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1Ch1BCuJUI/AAAAAAAABfs/VS2AmSCWlxU/s1600-h/delicechocolat3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1Ch1BCuJUI/AAAAAAAABfs/VS2AmSCWlxU/s400/delicechocolat3.JPG" style="height: 300px; width: 433px;" width="433" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;4 ovos &lt;em&gt;(eggs)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;150 gr. de açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(icing sugar, unsifted)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;150 gr. de manteiga &lt;em&gt;(butter)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;200 gr. de chocolate negro &lt;em&gt;(dark chocolate)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;2 colheres sopa de farinha &lt;em&gt;(tablespoons of flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;100 gr. de amêndoas em pó &lt;em&gt;(ground almonds)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Pré-aqueça o forno a 220ºC e unte uma forma com manteiga. Separe as gemas e as claras dos ovos. Numa tigela, misture bem as gemas com o açúcar até obter uma textura cremosa. Deixe a manteiga amolecer. Parta o chocolate aos bocados e coloque-o a derreter em banho-maria. Depois de derretido, adicione-o à mistura de ovos e açúcar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;De seguida junte a farinha, as amêndoas em pó e a manteiga. Numa taça, bata as claras em castelo e junte-as pouco a pouco à mistura, incorporando-as muito bem. Ponha a massa na forma e leve ao forno por 20 min. É suposto ficar bem húmido. Deixe arrefecer e desenforme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 220ºC and grease a mold with butter. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a bowl, mix the yolks with the&amp;nbsp;icing sugar until you get a creamy mixture. Let the butter soften. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. After it is melted, add it to the eggs and sugar mixture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then add the flour, the&amp;nbsp;ground almonds and the butter. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form and add it, little by little, to the mixture and incorporate it well. Pour the mixture in the mold and place it in the oven for approx. 20 min. The cake should be very moist. Let it cool and unmold it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1Ch5ixgOiI/AAAAAAAABf0/Em5mAz58rUw/s1600-h/delicechocolat4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1Ch5ixgOiI/AAAAAAAABf0/Em5mAz58rUw/s400/delicechocolat4.JPG" style="height: 302px; width: 431px;" width="431" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;A minha experiência: eu adoro fazer doces, mas devo dizer que não sou nem a mais rápida nem a mais hábil das cozinheiras, portanto quando algumas coisas começaram a correr mal (o chocolate derretido começou a endurecer a mistura dos ovos e do açúcar, uma colher cheia de chocolate caiu para o meio do chão e sujou tudo, a manteiga parecia esfarelar-se quando estava a tentar untar a forma) eu tive vontade de parar com tudo e ir fazer outra coisa qualquer. No entanto, bastaram-me três fundas respirações para tomar coragem e continuar. Assim, resolvi misturar a manteiga no chocolate derretido para torná-lo mais líquido, limpei rapidamente o chão e para compensar a minha falta de jeito a untar formas salpiquei um pouco de cacau por toda a forma para facilitar o desenformar. Há alturas em que temos de levantar a cabeça e seguir em frente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My experience: I love to make desserts, but may I say that I'm not the fastest nor the most skilled of cooks, so when somethings went wrong (the melted chocolate thickened the eggs and sugar mixture, a spoon filled with chocolate fell to the floor and created what I call chocolate spatter, and the butter wouldn't grease the mold properly) I wanted to stop the whole thing and go somewhere else. However, after three deep breaths&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;got my courage back and&amp;nbsp;continued. So,&amp;nbsp;I decided to mix in the butter with the chocolate to&amp;nbsp;make it a bit more liquid,&amp;nbsp;quickly cleaned the floor and to compensate my grease&amp;nbsp;clumsiness I sprinkled cocoa powder all over the mold to facilitate the unmolding. There are times when we have to rise to the occasion and move on.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-9124486565081805473?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/9124486565081805473/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/delice-au-chocolat.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/9124486565081805473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/9124486565081805473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/delice-au-chocolat.html' title='Délice au chocolat'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S1CaaCoXWRI/AAAAAAAABfc/t-VbyyMvS0M/s72-c/Arts+3+1011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-3600292940991300329</id><published>2010-01-09T23:50:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-01-09T23:56:23.174Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cookies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biscoitos'/><title type='text'>American cookies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S0kWnLhkuyI/AAAAAAAABcM/Xg8Y-i_Ch8w/s1600-h/Arts+3+988.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/S0kWnLhkuyI/AAAAAAAABcM/Xg8Y-i_Ch8w/s400/Arts+3+988.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biscoitos tradicionais americanos. Basta pronunciar estas palavras para me sentir imediatamente bem-disposta. Pronto, também convém dizer que tenho um humor por si só já muito positivo, mas isso não tira nem nunca tirará&amp;nbsp;o merecido&amp;nbsp;crédito aos biscoitos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;Graças ao&amp;nbsp;espírito&amp;nbsp;natalício&amp;nbsp;e a um programa culinário com excelente timing, a receita foi tirada e fizeram-se um sem número de biscoitos americanos para oferecer no Natal: prenda original, saborosa, feita à mão e muito barata.&amp;nbsp;É preciso&amp;nbsp;dizer mais?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Traditional american cookis. Just pronouncing this words makes me feel immediately happy. Ok, it's important to say that I normally&amp;nbsp;have a really positive mood, but that alone can't take away and will never take away these cookies&amp;nbsp;well-earned credit.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks to the holidays spirit and a cooking show with great timing, the recipe was taken and a big bunch&amp;nbsp;of cookies were made&amp;nbsp;to give for Christmas: original, delicious, handmade and cheap.

Numa taça coloque a manteiga e&amp;nbsp;os açúcares (branco e mascavado) e bata até formar um creme. De seguida, adicione os ovos e a baunilha e bata bem. Transfira esta mistura para uma taça maior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Nessa&amp;nbsp;taça junte a farinha, a aveia (depois de liquidificada fica em pó), o sal, o fermento e o bicarbonato de sódio e misture bem. Depois adicione as nozes picadas e o chocolate até se formar uma massa. Faça pequenas bolas de massa e coloque-as num tabuleiro a uma distância de pelo menos 5cm umas das outras. Leve ao forno por 10 min.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Dica:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;com o calor do forno, as&amp;nbsp;bolas vão expandir-se e ficar com o formato de biscoito, logo, quanto maior for a bola, maior será o biscoito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 200ºC. In a bowl, put the butter and the sugars and mix until it turns into a cream. Then add the eggs and the vanilla and beat well. Tranfer the mix to a bigger bowl.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In that bowl add the flour, the oatmeal (after it's blended it turns into a powder), the&amp;nbsp;salt, the baking powder and the soda and blend them well together. Then&amp;nbsp;add the nuts and the chocolate until&amp;nbsp;it turns into a dough.&amp;nbsp;Make little balls and place them in a tray at about 5 cm apart from each other. Put it in the oven for&amp;nbsp;10 min. &lt;strong&gt;Hint:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;with the heat from the oven, the balls will expand and become cookies so, the bigger the ball, the bigger the cookie.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

Algo que tenho vindo a tentar mudar, mas que, em certas alturas, me ultrapassa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sem dúvida, já devem ter percebido que este &lt;em&gt;post&lt;/em&gt; esperava pacientemente na minha pasta de rascunhos por uma oportunidade de se mostrar ao público. Já há algum tempo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Before I started to write this post, I carefully meditated about my lack of organization and self-discipline, and also about the recurrent fact that I'm almost always behind when it comes to some goals I set myself to achieve. That's something I've been trying to change, but, at times, just can't.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Surely, you must have realized by now that this post has been waiting patiently in my drafts folder for a chance to show itself to the public. For some time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SwyDYObEGkI/AAAAAAAABOM/EkyMcaNrg74/s1600/biscoitoestrela.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 502px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407841704776833602" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SwyDYObEGkI/AAAAAAAABOM/EkyMcaNrg74/s400/biscoitoestrela.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu gosto mesmo muito de biscoitos. Estão lado a lado com os chocolates, os muffins e os bolinhos miniatura. Estes biscoitos são fáceis, rápidos e muito saborosos, para além de terem uma receita base que aguenta bem a adição de mais ingredientes, caso apeteça misturar alguns sabores.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I really like biscuits. They're side by side with chocolates, muffins and miniature cookies. These biscuits are easy, quick to do and quite tasty, besides being a good base for more ingredients, if you feel like mixing up some flavours.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Para a massa &lt;em&gt;(for the dough)&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;200gr. amêndoas peladas &lt;em&gt;(blanched almonds)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1/3 chávena açúcar &lt;em&gt;(cup caster sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1/3 chávena açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(cup icing sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;3 colheres chá canela em pó &lt;em&gt;(teaspoons groud cinnamon)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;3/4 chávena farinha &lt;em&gt;(cup plain flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;2 claras ovo &lt;em&gt;(egg whites)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Para o glacé de baunilha &lt;em&gt;(for the vanilla icing)&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;2/3 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;chávena açúcar em pó &lt;em&gt;(cups pure icing sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 clara ovo, ligeiramente batida &lt;em&gt;(egg white, lighly beaten)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1/2 essência baunilha &lt;em&gt;(vanilla essence)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Aqueça o forno a 150ºC. Coloque as amêndoas, os açúcares, a canela e a farinha num processador de comida (robot de cozinha) e misture tudo por 30 seg. ou até a mistura ficar fina. De seguida, adicione as claras de ovo e processe por mais 30 seg. ou até se formar uma massa suave. Retire a massa do processador e amasse a mesma em cima de uma superfície levemente enfarinhada, até a massa ficar um pouco mais firme. Estenda a massa, corte as formas e coloque-as num tabuleiro previamente tapado com papel vegetal. Deixe cozer por 20 min. ou até ficarem dourados. &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Para fazer o glacé de baunilha: coloque o açúcar em pó numa tigela. Faça um buraco no centro e deite a clara de ovo e a essência de baunilha, previamente misturados. Bata tudo até o açúcar em pó estar bem incorporado na mistura. Logo que os biscoitos arrefeçam, espalhe o glacé sobre os mesmos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 150ªC. Place almonds, sugars, cinnamon and flour in a food processor bowl and mix it for 30 seconds or until the mixture is fine and crumbly. Then add the egg whites and process it for another 30 seconds or until a soft dough forms. Remove the dough from the food processor bowl and turn it onto lightly floured surface. Knead it until it gets a bit more firm. Roll out the dough, cut the shapes and place them onto a tray, previously lined with baking paper. Bake for 20 min. or until golden.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To make the vanilla icing: put the icing sugar into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add combined egg white and vanilla essence. Beat until the icing sugar is well incorporated in the mixture.

Há palavras doces. Há palavras sedutoras. E depois há o chocolate. Em pequenos imaginamos mundos fantásticos onde as estradas são feitas de açúcar, os rios de chocolate e chove cacau em pó. Em adultos continuamos a adorar chocolate e somos transportados para os sabores da nossa infância. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Eu sonho em ter uma chocolataria, mas esse é assunto para outra altura. Hoje mostro-vos uma receita que teria um lugar cimeiro numa chocolataria, mas que também terá o melhor dos destaques na vossa casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;There are magical words. There are sweet words. There are seductive words. And then there's chocolate. When we are little we imagine fantastic worlds where the roads are made of sugar, the rivers are made of chocolate and the rain is made of cocoa powder. When we are adults we continue to love chocolate and often get transported to the flavours of our childhood.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I dream of having a chocolaterie, but that's a subject for some other time. Today I'm showing you a recipe that would have a major place in a chocolaterie, but can also demand attention in your home.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 447px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 289px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403034248790510050" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvBdRtieI/AAAAAAAABMs/bCfRWOJ5AO0/s400/bombachocolate.JPG" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvBIdrITI/AAAAAAAABMk/mv1bXXA-_oE/s1600-h/chocolatebomb2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 446px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403034243203539250" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvBIdrITI/AAAAAAAABMk/mv1bXXA-_oE/s400/chocolatebomb2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;300gr. creme de queijo &lt;em&gt;(cream cheese)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;200gr. chocolate para culinária &lt;em&gt;(chocolate for culinary purposes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;180gr.

De seguida, adicione as folhas de gelatina, previamente demolhadas e derretidas num pouco de água a ferver (siga as instruções do fabricante). Deixe arrefecer a mistura.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Bata as claras em castelo e adicione à mistura arrefecida. Bata, também, as natas com açúcar para criar chantilly e junte à mistura.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Numa taça, combine o leite com o licor de laranja para molhar os palitos de champanhe. Forre uma tigela com papel de alumínio e, primeiramente, coloque os palitos de chamapanhe molhados na base e nos lados da tigela. Seguidamente, e de forma alternada, coloque a mistura de chocolate e os palitos de champanhe, e assim sucessivamente, e leve, de seguida, ao frigorífico por um mínimo de 4 horas ou até ficar consistente. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Reserve um pouco da mistura de chocolate. Desenforme a sobremesa e cubra-a com a mistura que reservou. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mix the cream cheese, the chocolate, the egg yolks and the chocolate paste in a pan and melt the mixture in a very low heat. Then, add the gelatine sheets, that have been previously soaked and melted in a bit of boiling water (follow the manufacturer instructions). Let the mixture cool off.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form and add it to the cooled mixture. Whisk the sour cream with sugar to form whip cream and add it to the mixture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a bowl, combine the milk with the orange liquor to dip in the champagne biscuts. Place foil paper in a bowl and, first, put the moist biscuts at the bottom and on the sides of the bowl. Secondly, pour in a bit of the chocolate mixture and then the moist biscuts. Do this until the bowl is full and reserve a bit of the chocolate mixture. Put the dessert in the fridge for about 4 hours.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unmold the dessert and cover it with the reserved chocolate mixture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvA6LPyVI/AAAAAAAABMc/ImLhtAI0yBY/s1600-h/Arts+3+862.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403034239368153426" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvA6LPyVI/AAAAAAAABMc/ImLhtAI0yBY/s400/Arts+3+862.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;♥♥♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-4580827382592380495?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/4580827382592380495/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/11/chocolate-bomb.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4580827382592380495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4580827382592380495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/11/chocolate-bomb.html' title='Chocolate bomb'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SvtvBdRtieI/AAAAAAAABMs/bCfRWOJ5AO0/s72-c/bombachocolate.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-1793855027360584250</id><published>2009-10-21T22:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-22T01:22:45.413+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='empada'/><title type='text'>Chicken pies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O que fazer quando sobra praticamente metade do frango assado &lt;em&gt;take-away&lt;/em&gt;, esse amigo fiel que salva qualquer refeição?

De seguida, barre formas próprias para empadas com manteiga e farinha, e estenda a massa em cada uma delas. Deve sempre deixar uma margem de massa por fora da forma. Logo que todas as formas estejam preenchidas, deixe a massa descansar por 45min.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Uma vez que o recheio foi feito a olho, fica à sua escolha a quantidade de recheio que quer fazer. Neste caso, basta fazer um refugado com azeite, cebola e alho, e colocar o frango desfiado, a cenoura ralada e o presunto finamente picado a seguir. Deixe ficar os ingredientes a apurar por alguns minutos, e adicione um pouco de farinha e leite para engrossar o recheio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Aqueça o forno a 190ºC. Coloque o recheio nas formas (mais ou menos recheio consoante o seu gosto pessoal) e termine a empada colocando uma tampa de massa por cima do recheio. Para selar a empada, basta puxar para dentro a margem de massa que deixou no início da receita. De seguida, basta pincelar o topo da empada com gema de ovo e levar ao forno!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First of, mix all of the necessary ingredients for the dough and gently start molding until you get an even texture. Then, spread butter and flour into the pie molds and unroll the dough in each of them. You should always leave some excess of dough out of the mold margin. When every mold is filled, leave the dough to rest for 45min.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Since my filling wasn't made by following a recipe, it's up to you to decide on the amount of filling you want to make. In this case, and using a pan, just make a simple base with olive oil, chopped onions and garlic, and then add the chopped chicken, the grated carrot and the finely chopped ham. Leave it in the heat for some minutes, enough so that all of the ingredients blend together. Then, add a little bit of flour and milk to thicken the mixture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 190ºC. Place the filling in the molds (more or less accordingly to your own taste) and finish of the pie by placing a dough cover on top of the filling. To seal of the pie, just pull in the dough excess you left in the mold margin. Now you only have to brush the pies with an egg yolk and put it in the oven!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/St9_8ljvHMI/AAAAAAAABL8/Hmw3ItzRoRU/s1600-h/chickenpie1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 475px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 316px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395171557464022210" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/St9_8ljvHMI/AAAAAAAABL8/Hmw3ItzRoRU/s400/chickenpie1.JPG" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;♥♥♥ &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-1793855027360584250?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/1793855027360584250/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/10/chicken-pies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1793855027360584250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/1793855027360584250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/10/chicken-pies.html' title='Chicken pies'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/St9_8xmparI/AAAAAAAABME/tdOpuqBq4mM/s72-c/chickenpie.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-2851717558006530641</id><published>2009-10-14T21:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T16:05:11.652+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bolo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cake'/><title type='text'>Orange &amp; almond cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/StYuwTrl_tI/AAAAAAAABLs/Aqwjhp6urSY/s1600-h/Arts+3+745.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finalmente estou de volta a este blogue, após uma interrupção forçada das pequenas aventuras gastronómicas. Por uma ironia do destino, pouco tempo depois de ter começado o blogue, as crises de estomâgo que tinha ocasionalmente intensificaram-se e agora estou a tentar refrear o meu apetite e a cortar com alguns hábitos alimentares que não me fazem muito bem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;E que melhor forma de regressar senão com uma receita leve, colorida e saborosa? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm finally back to the blog and my little food adventures after a forced interruption.

Spread the margerine evenly throughout the cake pan, then place parchment paper at the bottom of the pan and spread a bit of margerine in the paper too. Mix the egg yolks, the sugar, the flour, the baking powder and the melted margerine. After that, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, and softly add them to the mixture. Sprinkle half of the almonds in the bottom of the pan, pour in the mixture and sprinkle the top with the rest of the almonds.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Put the pan in the oven and, once the cake is cooked, stick it with a toothpick and pour the syrup.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Syrup: &lt;/strong&gt;Mix the orange juice and zest with the sugar and place it in the stove for 3min., just to be a bit more consistent.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/StYuvfp1_wI/AAAAAAAABLc/qt8Xokz-lCs/s1600-h/Arts+3+803.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392548997308481282" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/StYuvfp1_wI/AAAAAAAABLc/qt8Xokz-lCs/s400/Arts+3+803.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-2851717558006530641?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/2851717558006530641/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/10/orange-almond-cake.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/2851717558006530641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/2851717558006530641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/10/orange-almond-cake.html' title='Orange &amp; almond cake'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/StYuv5PxFlI/AAAAAAAABLk/poSTYetH-DU/s72-c/orange%26almond.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-7410263533378842840</id><published>2009-09-18T18:07:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T18:18:38.011+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muffins'/><title type='text'>Cinnamon &amp; apple muffins</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SrO-nzx3VWI/AAAAAAAABJs/ZGPA47IKC5U/s1600-h/Arts+3+733.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382855570761405794" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/SrO-nzx3VWI/AAAAAAAABJs/ZGPA47IKC5U/s400/Arts+3+733.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lembram-se &lt;a href="http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/coconut-and-blackberry-jam-muffins.html"&gt;desta&lt;/a&gt; receita?

De manhã, de cappuccino bebido, decidiu que, finalmente, ia fazer uma dessas receitas. "Coisa fácil e rápida", pareceu-lhe. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Deu uma vista de olhos na receita, fez os ajustamentos do costume, e meteu mãos à obra. Empreendimento concluído, decidiu provar. Doce, muitíssimo doce, demasiado doce. Como salvar este infortúnio e torná-lo adequado até para não-diabéticos? Um pouco de farinha e fermento para aqui, mais dois ovos e leite para ali, uma mexidela acolá, &lt;em&gt;et voilá&lt;/em&gt;: muffins de chocolate e nozes. E assim se salvou uma manhã de potencial ruína culinária. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once upon a time there was a girl that liked to browse through a recipe book over and over again. In the morning, with the cappuccino already drunk, she finally dediced to do one of the recipes. "Something quick and easy", she thought.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;She looked at the recipe again, made the usual ajustments, and got down to business. When it was done, she decided to taste it. It was sweet, super sweet, way too sweet. So how to fix this misfortune and make it appropriate even to non-diabetic people? A little bit of flour and baking powder here, two eggs and milk there, and a good mix everywhere, &lt;/em&gt;et voilá:&lt;em&gt; chocolate and walnuts muffins. And that's how she rescued one morning from its potencial culinary disaster.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq_YtdBlKII/AAAAAAAABJE/CgxoNe5TWMM/s1600-h/chocolate2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 481px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 334px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381758355128002690" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq_YtdBlKII/AAAAAAAABJE/CgxoNe5TWMM/s400/chocolate2.JPG" /&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥ &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-5451702550994477764?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/5451702550994477764/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-rescue-recipe-misfortune.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5451702550994477764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5451702550994477764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-rescue-recipe-misfortune.html' title='How to rescue a recipe misfortune?'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq_Yttlzp_I/AAAAAAAABJM/lzqDoq-2-SA/s72-c/chocolate.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-5046963274208236845</id><published>2009-09-14T14:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T18:20:49.169+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peixe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fish'/><title type='text'>Grilled salmon with lemon and oregano</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5Ml7P4gwI/AAAAAAAABI8/6ZtSjK_B5Gk/s1600-h/Arts+3+687.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381322819197502210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5Ml7P4gwI/AAAAAAAABI8/6ZtSjK_B5Gk/s400/Arts+3+687.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5MlREstII/AAAAAAAABI0/cSOKE2EEYWE/s1600-h/limaooregao.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 452px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381322807876301954" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5MlREstII/AAAAAAAABI0/cSOKE2EEYWE/s400/limaooregao.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5MlI_iaKI/AAAAAAAABIs/LGVXi-S97mI/s1600-h/Arts+3+688.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381322805707172002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5MlI_iaKI/AAAAAAAABIs/LGVXi-S97mI/s400/Arts+3+688.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não há nada que represente o Verão tão bem quanto um bom peixe grelhado. É símbolo de frescura e leveza, para além de ser tão saudável que até somos capazes de sentir, por breves momentos, que vamos comer sempre assim e até nos iremos inscrever no ginásio no dia seguinte. Sim, pois. Sonhar faz bem e recomenda-se.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para este pequeno e saboroso prato de lombinhos de salmão, basta ter sal, limão e oregãos à mão, temperá-lo e levá-lo a grelhar. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;There's nothing that represents Summer as well as a good grilled fish. It's a symbol of freshness and lightness, besides the fact that it is so healthy that we can even feel, even for brief moments, that we are going to eat like this forever and we will even join the gym the very next day. Yeh, right. Dreaming is good and it's recommended.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;For this little and tasty dish of salmon slices, you just have to have salt, lemon and oregano, season it and put it in the grill.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-5046963274208236845?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/5046963274208236845/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/grilled-salmon-with-lemon-and-oregano.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5046963274208236845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/5046963274208236845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/grilled-salmon-with-lemon-and-oregano.html' title='Grilled salmon with lemon and oregano'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq5Ml7P4gwI/AAAAAAAABI8/6ZtSjK_B5Gk/s72-c/Arts+3+687.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-6954432726536595834</id><published>2009-09-13T19:15:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T01:03:06.118+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tarte'/><title type='text'>Upside-down apple pie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04an9HJoI/AAAAAAAABIc/UwNlxyUTT9c/s1600-h/Arts+3+682.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381019159830668930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04an9HJoI/AAAAAAAABIc/UwNlxyUTT9c/s400/Arts+3+682.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04aFp1wOI/AAAAAAAABIU/wfN3PJvlTN8/s1600-h/Arts+3+684.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381019150623031522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04aFp1wOI/AAAAAAAABIU/wfN3PJvlTN8/s400/Arts+3+684.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04ZvZRySI/AAAAAAAABIM/UnSjBhQtc3M/s1600-h/Arts+3+683.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381019144647985442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04ZvZRySI/AAAAAAAABIM/UnSjBhQtc3M/s400/Arts+3+683.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É verdade. Esta é mesmo uma tarde de maçã invertida. Invertida porque todos os ingredientes são dispostos ao contrário do que é habitual. Parece estranho? Talvez. Será que resulta? A 100% e o sabor é óptimo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's true. This is really an upside-down apple pie. Upside-down because all the ingredients are disposed contrary to the normal way of things. Does it sound strange? Maybe. Does it work? 100% and it tastes great!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Nesta receita não há medidas precisas, uma vez que tudo depende do tamanho da tarteira que quiser usar, e pode pôr tudo a olho. NOTA: deve usar uma tarteira sem fundo removível.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aqueça o forno a 190ºC. Barre bem a tarteira com margarina. De seguida, ponha açúcar, maçã cortada às fatias (não precisam de ser muito finas), sumo de limão e canela. Depois coloque a massa folhada por cima dos ingredientes e leve ao forno até esta estar cozida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quando tirar a tarteira do forno, deve desenformá-la como se fosse um bolo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In this recipe there's no precise measures, because everything depends on the size of the pie tray you'll use, so you can put things in a free way. NOTE: you can't use a tray with a removable bottom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 190ºC. Spread the margerine evenly throughout the tray. After that, put the sugar, sliced apple (the slices don't need to be too thin), lemon juice and cinnamon. Then place the puff pastry on top of the ingredients and put it in the oven until it's cooked.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When you take it off the oven, you have to unmold it like a cake.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-6954432726536595834?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/6954432726536595834/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/upside-down-apple-pie.html#comment-form' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/6954432726536595834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/6954432726536595834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/upside-down-apple-pie.html' title='Upside-down apple pie'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq04an9HJoI/AAAAAAAABIc/UwNlxyUTT9c/s72-c/Arts+3+682.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-765524175870805305</id><published>2009-09-13T18:57:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T01:04:13.036+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cappuccino'/><title type='text'>Cappuccino lover!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zNfXrO5I/AAAAAAAABIE/MjaVx1C3BD4/s1600-h/Arts+3+103.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381013436629728146" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zNfXrO5I/AAAAAAAABIE/MjaVx1C3BD4/s400/Arts+3+103.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zM8KgzkI/AAAAAAAABH8/mTMw_IZlEkw/s1600-h/Arts+3+670.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381013427179277890" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zM8KgzkI/AAAAAAAABH8/mTMw_IZlEkw/s400/Arts+3+670.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zMcJaqGI/AAAAAAAABH0/cazcKs2LHhI/s1600-h/Arts+3+677.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 449px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381013418584746082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0zMcJaqGI/AAAAAAAABH0/cazcKs2LHhI/s400/Arts+3+677.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosto de fazer cappuccinos, e por fazer não me refiro a agarrar num pacote instantâneo, despejá-lo para a caneca e deitar-lhe água quente. Não, esse desperdício de tempo e dinheiro já há muito se passou.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O que gosto mesmo de fazer, praticamente todas as manhãs ou fins de tarde (de Outono preferencialmente), é de tirar o café e ferver o leite com vapor para criar a certa quantidade de espuma de que gosto e juntar os dois cuidadosamente. Sem açúcar ou qualquer outro adoçante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dou por mim a ansiar por manhãs mais frias e tardes de nevoeiro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I like to make cappuccinos, and by making I don't mean grabing an instantaneous powder package, dump it to a mug and poor in hot water.

Pronto, os menos aventureiros podem chamar um ajudante para virar a panqueca, mas não é nada que não se resolva com uma boa espátula. No meu caso, usei uma óptima escumadeira redonda (quem não tem cão, caça com gato).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's the easiest thing! Ok, the less adventurers can call an assistant to turn the pancake, but that's something that can be solved with a good spatula. In my case, I used a great round scummer (one needs to use all the resources available).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 copo farinha trigo &lt;em&gt;(cup of wheat flour)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 copo leite &lt;em&gt;(cup of milk)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 ovo &lt;em&gt;(egg)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 colher sopa açúcar &lt;em&gt;(tablespoon of sugar)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 colher café baunilha &lt;em&gt;(cofeespoon of vanilla syrup)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Bata todos os ingredientes por 3 min. e de seguida deixe a massa repousar por 15 min. Passado esse tempo, aqueça uma frigideira anti-aderente e vá derretendo pouca manteiga entre as frituras. Não precisa de deixar a massa muito tempo na frigideira. Basta que a massa fique dourada de um lado e do outro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Eu gosto de comê-las simples ou com mel e banana, mel e amêndoas, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mix all the ingredients in a blender for 3 min. and then leave the mixture to rest for 15 min. After that, preheat an anti-adherent pan and melt very few butter in between frying the pancakes. You don't need to leave the pancake in the pan for a long time. They just need to be golden on both sides. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I like to eat them simple or with banana and honey, almonds and honey, etc.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥♥ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6784129748278355723-4032522334849016793?l=perrfectmatch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/feeds/4032522334849016793/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/pancake-party-for-oneor-two.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4032522334849016793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6784129748278355723/posts/default/4032522334849016793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://perrfectmatch.blogspot.com/2009/09/pancake-party-for-oneor-two.html' title='Pancake party for one...or two!'/><author><name>Inês Batista</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03561135790599546248</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/TSFGpZTPenI/AAAAAAAAEQc/x5ofq7_rEds/S220/Milano%2B002.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0r9z0licI/AAAAAAAABHs/DJZA1kIztGU/s72-c/Arts+3+662.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784129748278355723.post-7018470531906364436</id><published>2009-09-13T17:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T00:42:55.916+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='muffins'/><title type='text'>Coconut and blackberry jam muffins</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d5ZloumI/AAAAAAAABHU/G2p4f64L9oc/s1600-h/Arts+3+675-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380990001736104546" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d5ZloumI/AAAAAAAABHU/G2p4f64L9oc/s400/Arts+3+675-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d5L9RAdI/AAAAAAAABHM/-hPAfW-sE28/s1600-h/Arts+3+673.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380989998077116882" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d5L9RAdI/AAAAAAAABHM/-hPAfW-sE28/s400/Arts+3+673.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d4mxxL7I/AAAAAAAABHE/CqH7WJIP-W4/s1600-h/Arts+3+672.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380989988096782258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OEu_8SP2e9I/Sq0d4mxxL7I/AAAAAAAABHE/CqH7WJIP-W4/s400/Arts+3+672.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para verem a receita original podem espreitar &lt;a href="http://www.ilovemuffins.es/blog/?p=1568"&gt;este blogue&lt;/a&gt;.

Noutra tigela (B), misturam-se cuidadosamente todos os outros ingredientes, menos a compota de amoras, até se obter uma mistura homogénea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;De seguida, juntam-se os ingredientes B aos A gradualmente até se obter uma massa homogénea. Neste ponto, adiciona-se à mistura a compota de amoras e bate-se muito bem para que a compota se distribua uniformemente pela massa. IMPORTANTE: convém que a compota seja algo dura para que não se misture totalmente com a massa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Encha as formas de papel e leve ao forno por 17-19 min. Antes de tirar os muffins do tabuleiro, espete um palito para ver se estão devidamente cozidos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preheat the oven at 190ºC and fill a muffin tray with paper cups.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In one bowl (A), mix all the dry ingredients (minus the sugar). In another bowl (B), carefully mix the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk and the vanilla syrup.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then, gradually mix the ingredients B with the ingredients A, until it's homogeneous. At this point you add the blackberry jam and stir it well. IMPORTANT: the jam should be a little hard so it doesn't dissolve completely.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fill the paper cups and put it in the oven for 17-19 min.
