Flower eggs!

As gemini myself, I am always attracted to food that is both beautiful in taste and tasteful in vision :-)
Isn't it a nice idea for cooking eggs for breakfast? (Ok, if one likes paprika..) I haven't cooked it yet, but I will try it soon.

Cheese Cake with yogurt & strawberries

Ingredients: (for 25cm ∅ springform)
• 250g crushed 'Digestive' biscuits
• 100g vegetable butter
• 250ml cream (35% fat)
• 250g ricotta cheese
• 250g yoghurt (3.5% fat)
• 100g caster sugar
• 6g gelatin leaves
• Deco: fresh strawberries, fresh mint leaves and Dr Oetker red glaze (Tortenguss)

Execution:
Rub the biscuits and mix them with the molten butter.
Put it in the springform and leave it in the fridge for as long as you prepare the rest of the cheesecake.

Put the sheets of gelatin in some cold water and leave them aside.
When they are soft in your hands, put them out into a small pot with very little water
and heat it to melt. Leave aside.

Blend the cheese in hand mixer with the cream until it becomes fluffy and add then the yogurt and the sugar.
While the mixture is hit at a rapid scale pour the melted gelatin.
Pour the mixture into the form. Tap the bowl on the counter and freeze overnight.

Deco: add some fresh mint leaves. Wash and cut the strawberries so that they can beautifully sit over the cheesecake.
Prepare according to the instructions the Dr Oetker red glaze, and directly pour to cover the strawberries. Leave it again
a little bit in the fridge until it is cold. Enjoy! :-)

A thousand words

I am not quite sure whether a picture is worth a thousand words, but this photo made me look at it for more than two minutes, and made me think.
It is taken in June 2011 by Maro Kouri in Syntagma Athens, Greece in the middle of riots that caused the Greece's parliament second vote on its austerity programme. Despite the chaos in the center of Athens right now, some people still have to make their living..

Meteora

Meteora is one of the most beautiful and divine places on earth. Not surprisingly the area has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This amazing photograph is taken by Emmanuel Coupe Kalomiris who has a great deal of beautiful and awarded landscape photos here.

Astonishing!

Sonntags...nie!

And the most interesting of all! The german transfer of the song
Ta paidia tou peiraia (Τα παιδιά του Πειραια) by Melina Mercouri,
written by the great Manos Hatzidakis.



How can I avoid posting it? :-)

The song was written for the movie Never on sundays, (Ποτε την κυριακή) by Jules Dassin, 1960, which by the way is one of the best movies of the poor greek cinematography.

Note: the german version has totally different lyrics than the greek one.

The Seven year itch by Billy Wilder (1955). I haven't watched the movie (yet) and I was quite surprised to hear that this so famous scene was not viewable in the film! Actually it seems that it was not a scene, rather just a photo shooting. I also didn't know that Billy Wilder was Austrian, who left to the US after Hitler's rise. Quite happy to hear that there is a retrospective be...billy wilder in Berlin Babylon these days.

Le premier jour du reste de ta vie

Le premier jour du reste de ta vie, Rémi Bezançon (2008)
Family bonds, personalities creation, conflicts and love, interesting, beautiful actors. Déborah François is probably already known for playing in the L'enfant , which won the golden Palm 2005.

Pulp fiction

One of my favorites. A must see!
