Cheeky Kitchen cold-brewed iced coffee Since I began working from home, I have no doubt I have saved a ton of money by not buying those yogurt-granola cups and salad bar lunches everyday. What I haven’t saved even a penny on, however, is my iced coffee habit. If anything, it’s gotten worse. Or better, depending on how you look at it. The first month, I spent a lot of time at Starbucks, yet not because I am addicted to their coffee, but the other unspoken the Opiate of the Freelancing Class: Free wireless. But after a few weeks, the loud and generally awful music (greatly compensated for by playing Hallelujah often, however, they’d play the John Cale version and that’s the wrong one and yes, I have digressed this far) and the fact that even at 9 a.m., the bathrooms smelled like a barn. Enter my newly-purchased wireless card, and suddenly I have freedom to work at wonderful coffee shops with from Joe to 9th Street to Grumpy to you-name-it, I’ve been to them all. Where has this been my whole life? Yield: Two drinks 1. 2.

République du Vin - des bons vins à des prix toujours abordables ! - République du Vin Cakes in the city La historia de una bebida llamada Gin Tonic Publicado el 16/05/2012 De unos años a esta parte el gin tonic ha ganado popularidad de una forma sorprendente. En poco tiempo hemos visto como las nuevas tónicas y ginebras se han multiplicado en el mercado para complacer a un consumidor cada vez más exquisito. Pero a pesar de esta nueva juventud, la historia del gin tonic se remonta mucho tiempo atrás. El ser humano ha mezclado bebidas desde hace siglos, pero hasta finales del siglo XVII y principios del siglo XVIII no tuvo la popularidad necesaria como para aparecer en los registros históricos. El caso del gin tonic está al margen de esta historia dentro de la que se pueden enmarcar la gran mayoría de los cócteles que a día de hoy se consumen en bares, pubs y discotecas. Según cuenta la historia, más leyenda que historia, todo comenzó en Perú en 1632. El siguiente gran avance en la lucha contra la malaria y el uso de la corteza de la cinchona llegó de la mano de Pierre Joseph Pelletier y Joseph Bienaimé Caventou.
SUCRISSIME Buttered Beere 1588 Recipe Small Goblets Of Buttered Beere From A 1588 Tudor Recipe This is an authentic Tudor Buttered Beere (Butter Beer) recipe from 1588 and a rich, creamy ale (beer) is called for – but don’t get an ale which is too sweet, as we are adding in sugar as well as egg yolks. The best ales (beer) to buy are traditional ‘real-ales’ (or cask conditioned ales) from a British brewery with a good reputation (see the end of the post for recommendations). Most British ales (traditional beer) of this high quality are now exported world-wide – while more modern beers, such as ‘lager’ are not recommended. This Tudor recipe for Buttered Beere is the oldest recorded instance of Butter Beer and it is authentically drunk warm, which is an acquired taste; but it is well worth trying. Recipe Ingredients: 1500 ml (3 bottles) of good quality British ‘ale’1/4 tsp ground ginger1/2 tsp ground cloves1/2 tsp ground nutmeg200g demerara (natural brown) sugar5 egg yolks (yolks only are needed)100g unsalted butter (diced)
Le whoopie pie, c'est quoi? De trois choses l'une. Soit: 1.vous êtes amish; 2.vous vivez à Brooklyn; 3.vous tenez un blog culinaire. Peu de chances, sinon, que vous ayez entendu parler du whoopie pie. Pressenti par la "foodosphère" comme le nouveau cupcake (vous savez, ces muffins couronnés d'un glaçage pastel sursucré), c'est une soucoupe volante composée de deux disques bombés, à l'origine au chocolat, enserrant une garniture au beurre et sucre glace parfois agrémentée de crème de marshmallow. Ce n'est donc pas un pie (tourte), ce serait plutôt un gâteau, voire un sandwich. A New York, chez Magnolia Bakery, le temple du gâteau fait maison, ils partent comme des petits pains. C'est donc maintenant qu'il faut faire connaissance avec l'ami whoopie.
