Emma's Recipes: Sunshine
One day Emma came to see me because she wanted to cook for us, she had seen the recipe somewhere and now she wanted to reproduce it. She knew it all by heart. It's called "Sunshine" or "Rayon de Soleil".
But now she can't remember where she has seen it and assures she has invented it...
What you need is:
a slice of bread (the weng-weng kind sliced factory bread, not the crunchy crust variation) per person
1 egg per person
pinch of salt
some butter and or oil
a glass
With the glass stick out a circle in the middle of the bread
heat a pan with some butter and/or oil
put the slice of bread with the hole in the heated pan
break the egg in the glass and drop it in the circle
cook one side then turn over
don't forget to salt it or use other herbs to make it tasty
serve and bon appétit!
You'll see it's so good after eating this you smile as if you just caught a sunray on a rainy day!

Monsanto owns the pigs/ Monsanto et les cochons
I have seen this a while ago on the german tv and found it in English on Youtube. As usual with Monsanto stuff, it's very disturbing that makes the biggest pacifist and peaceful person want to pick up a gun ... Anyway I think i go to the patent office and file a patent for the air we breath and charge everybody that works for M. a "usage fee" before M. comes up with the idea and has us definitely by the balls.
Même chose en couleur eh en français. Je suis trop scandalisé pour commenter. Voyez vous-même il y a 4 parts.
Respirez un grand coup avant que M prends un brvet sur l'air qu'on respire...

dangerous cake
Just got this one by mail and like to share it as a welcome back gift. We have been cut off the internet for weeks almost 2 months so it has been hard to keep this blog fresh. But now there are no more excuses and the kick off will be with this..."dangerous" cake. Let me know how yours tastes!
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons cake flour(plain flour, not self-raising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips(optional)
a small splash of vanilla
1 coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla essence, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake
at any time of the day or night!

Huîtres / Oysters @ Leucate
Sunday we hit the road early to Leucate to enjoy a day at the beach (nice for the kids) but specially to have oysters at 10 AM with a glass of white wine.
The oysters are so fresh, they would run away from you your plate if they had feet.
When you squeeze the lemon juice on them they are contracting (if they don't move you'd better trow them out). then with the little fork you delicately loose them from the shell. And enjoy the pleasant salty taste mixed with a hint of lemon.
If you prefer cooked food, then you can BBQ them, cook them under a grill or have otherwise fun with them: www.oregonoyster.com
Mon idée d'une journée idéale d'été c'est de arriver vers 10h00 à Leucate pour déguster quelques huîtres tellement fraîches et vivante que si elles avaient des pieds, on aurait du mal à les tenir sur l'assiette. Quand on mets le jus de citron ou dés fois il y a le vinaigre aux échalotes sur des tables, on voit bien comment ça contracte et donc je suis assuré que la bestiole est bien vivante et fraîche. J'adore le goût délicat salé avec une pointe d'acidité du citron ou vinaigre.
C'est simple et pas cher.
