Here I go again!

Hi guys! It's been a while since a wrote here the last post but now I'm back!!!This time I wanna talk with all of you!
In these 3 years many things are changed! I finally found a decent guy to fall in love with, but I've always the same passion for the food that I had before. Infact, sometimes I receve a lot of complain about the thing that I'm not skinny! My family and my boyfriend always say to me that I've to eat less (and maybe study more!). It's not like I'm overweight, but I certaily have to loose some kg (5) to go back on the truck of beuaty...or no? Be skilly or thin is the only beauty we sould know?
I don't think so!
For me beauty is PASSION, is HAPPINESS, is a smile and a dream to chase! And that's why I'm not interest for know to listen to others, even if they tell me very offensive things (very sad and brutal) without any justification (beacuse I'm not fat XD)
So this time I wanna make it easy for you!
Eggs in a basket!
Very simple and very very teasty! I 've never tried bread cooked with butter but is DELICIOUS and you should really try!
You would need:
1 egg
1 slice of bread (the tipe you use for sandwich)
1 slice of unsalted buter
a glass
and obviously a small pan

Cut the centre of the bread with the round-high part of the glass. Put the butter in the hot pan and melt it. Than put the bred (with the hole) into the pan and in the centre of the slice put the egg (entire) and let it cook for about 1-2 minute. After this, turn upside down (very quickly) the slice of bread with the egg and cook the other side.
After 1-2 minute it's ready for you! Hot, simple and very yummy!!!!

Hope you like the recipe, I'll come back soon!

XOXO

Julie and Julia - Movie

This time I want to show you the trailer of my next favorite movie of the year: Julie and Julia. That's the plot from Wikipedia: " Frustrated Lower Manhattan Development Corporation worker Julie Powell (Amy Adams) embarks on a year-long culinary quest to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She chronicles her trials and tribulations in a blog that catches on with the food crowd. The film also covers the years Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) spent in Paris during the 1940s and 1950s, when he was a foreign diplomat who was eventually investigated by Senator Joseph McCarthy for alleged communist ties."
I think that in this blog I have to highlight this movie concerning cooking and food :)
Hope you like it!

What's new on the sunny summer's days

Every summer is the same story: too hot for cooking, too hot to eat aboil food and so on...
But the same advice that everyone recives on summer's days is to DRINK...drink and drink because is the only thing that helps us to suffer the high temperatures. Now, maybe water is too banal for you ( ...just MAYBE) and sturbucks frappuccino's is too much far from your place...so the idea, that I suggest, is cooking by your self cold drinks that's have nothing to envy coffee bars for.
So I've 2 simple recipes for you now:

ICED SHAKED COFFEE
In the Italians bars, is usually ordered on summer this drink because is the normal Italian coffee but colder and sweeter.
The ingredients are these for one person:
- 1 shaker o 1 mixer
- 9/10 ice cubes
- 2 spoons and a half of fluid sugar (you can find it on drugstore or in supermarket)
- 1 coffee espresso

Put all these ingredients in the shaker (fist ice cubes, second the cofee and finally the sugar) and shake for almost 15 seconds.
Inpour a glass (better is a Martini's glass) the coffee and serve cold.
You can add cream, syrups or ice cream...everything is allowed with this sweet drink.

STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE
Ingredients for 1 person are:
- 1 mixer
- 100 gr of strawberries /2 balls of strawberry ice cream instead of
- 100 ml milk
- 3 spoons of triturated ice
- 1 spoon of sugar

Mix all together the ingredients (be careful to cut the stawberries before) and serve cold with a sipper.

Now, I'm not claiming to be a chef with these two simple recipes, but only to help you to suffer these last hot days of summer with simplicity!

Enjoy your meal :)

Comments are always appreciated ;)
