<b>Noodles with Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce</b><br />
<i>(serves 2, adapted from <a href="http://simplyreem.com/soba-noodles-with-sweet-ginger-scallion-sauce/" target="_blank">Simply Reem</a>)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It's a very simple and time efficient recipe that only requires one pot - little cleaning up afterwards.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>for the sauce:</u><br />
3/4 cup chopped scallions<br />
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic<br />
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley<br />
1 tablespoon neutral tasting oil<br />
1/2 red chilli, cleaned of seeds and chopped<br />
1 tablespoon soy sauce<br />
1 tablespoon white vinegar<br />
2 tablespoons honey<br />
salt, pepper to taste, optional sugar<br />
<u><br /></u>
2 servings spaghetti - or soba noodles if you happen to have them, or any noodles<br />
handful cashew nuts, or peanuts, chopped.<br />
bean sprouts, original recipe suggests cucumber, optional.<br />
<br />
<u>to garnish:</u><br />
a few reserved nuts<br />
parsley leaf<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1. In a jar, place all the ingredients for the sauce. Shake vigorously until combined. Let stand for 15 minutes or more, so that the flavors blend.<br />
<br />
2. Cook the pasta/noodles according to instruction on the packaging. Drain.<br />
<br />
3. Sprinkle the pasta with the chopped nuts, add bean sprouts if using. Stir until combined. Add the sauce on top, stir for 2-3 minutes to fully coat the pasta - the sauce will be rather thick.<br />
<br />
4. Serve, sprinkling with remaining nuts and a parsley leaf.<br />

Only recently did I start to discover a variety of leafy greens that nature offers. Rich in calcium, iron and a variety of vitamins, available at this dull season, with countless methods of preparing, be it cooked, sauteed or raw, even, they make a really great addition to my menu. But on my last trip to the groceries, drawn by the vivid color, I picked up radicchio, which I've never had before. It has a really surprising, intense, slightly pepper-y taste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you want to replace it with some other leafy veggie, like spinach or iceberg salad, you may want to add a generous pitch of pepper to the dressing, and maybe increase the amount of onions added, to keep the warming-up sensation this salad gives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems to be an excellent choice for a day like today: snowy, grey, with hardly any sunlight. Even the colors cheer you up.</div>

I never wanted to post iPhone photos here, but the cake is so good I just couldn't keep myself from sharing the recipe, and recipes without illustration never appeal to me: hence, very bad quality of shots (second thought: which are not too appealing either, but I don't even have access to Photoshop at the moment) and a very good, very easy cake to make. Maybe even now. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IVS5dkGYLg" target="_blank">While listening to Joni Mitchell</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Apple, cinnamon and browned butter cake:</b><br />
<i><u>(slightly adapted from <a href="http://www.whiteplate.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">White Plate</a>)</u></i><br />
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<u>Ingredients:</u><br />
2 large apples<br />
4 eggs<br />
120g butter<br />
120ml milk<br />
150g sugar<br />
1 pack sugar with real vanilla (or an equivalent)<br />
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder<br />
200g flour<br />
+ 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon for topping<br />
<br />
<u>Instructions:</u><br />
<br />
1. Peel and core the apples, slice them thinly. Set aside. Preheat oven to 150*C. Line a 20cm round tin with baking paper, butter it so the cake doesn't stick. Set aside.<br />
<br />
2. Make the butter: melt it on medium low heat until foamy. Then, lower the heat a little and keep on cooking until tiny browny pieces form on the bottom of the pot, mixing from time to time. Browned butter will smell very nutty and sweet. If this seems too compliacated or too fussy (it takes roughly 10 minutes and a pot that's hard to clean), you can always skip that part and just melt the butter until liquid and in its regular color and go straight to point 3. But I think it's worth the additional effort!<br />
<br />
3. Mix eggs with sugar until frothy. Slowly add in butter and milk.<br />
<br />
4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar. Add to egg mixture.<br />
<br />
5. Pour the batter into the tin. Lay out apple slices so they cover the batter completely; it should look like an apple mosaic. The centre is tricky but here's help: sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top to a) cover lack of skills b) add amazing crust and cinnamon-y flavor that makes life so much better.<br />
<br />
6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, but test with a toothpick before taking out. Let stand for some 15 minutes in an open, turned-off but still warn oven. We ate it warm. It was delicious. I think it could benefit from vanilla ice cream on the side, but tea was perfect nevertheless.<br />
<br />
Have a nice evening!<br />

The prospect of moving out to an apartment becomes more and more real every day, and, in between looking for offers on the Internet, I've been some time clicking through countless "interiors inspiration" boards and folders. There's an infinite number of those. Wait. I've actually been doing that for most of the time, with occasional breaks during which I would visit renting sites. It's just so much easier and more fun. Everyone agrees. Good. We can move on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I haven't been looking for home bars specifically, but suddenly, boom! there's a collection of over twenty photos of these. I don't think that moving out of dorm will lead me to uncontrolled drinking and that I will develop an alcohol dependency; if that were to be, dorm and lack of parental supervision would have sufficed. So no worries! By the way, as you scroll down, you'll notice that there are other things that can make for a home bar in my book. Tea and the grandma side of me are a match made in heaven! </div>

Here is another mix of songs that I've been listening to lately *awaits cheering*. On a mission to find a swimming pool nearby, I got lost more than once, only to remind myself that getting lost in a city is one of the best things that can happen on a fall evening (as long as your phone can navigate you). And this is what I have been listening to on those trips, some of the songs picked up in stores/cafes I went to (again, thank God for phones and Shazam). Good for walking, great for biking, but best for listening to when alone/allowed to sing along.<br />

<br />
I consider myself to be quite lucky as it comes to my family's food preferences: they like the simplest foods the most, maybe because of how little time it takes to make them. Especially my brother isn't one to find joy in awaiting treats, and these muffins, photos of which I just stumbled upon, are, I believe, his favourite. They look so extremely plain that it might be difficult to want to make them, but it's worth a try.\<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are really super easy and super simple to make, and if you don't have to collect the currants before, you don't need more than 10 minutes to make them (plus baking time). They don't grow, and are very buttery; to me, they taste like a cake we used to eat when we went to the seaside before my brother started school. Currants could be swapped for anything, maybe even nuts (I'll try that sometime soon and report on the results), but here in Italy, you can still buy fresh currants, so maybe you can get them in other places, too. </div>

<u><b>Red currant muffins:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(makes 12, based on Nigel Slater's recipe)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Ingredients:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
125 g flour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
125 g sugar (I used brown sugar)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
125 g soft butter</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3/4 teaspoon baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 eggs </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
125 g red currants (or any other berries)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Put all the ingredients but fruit in a bowl, mix until smooth. If the batter is stiff, you can add a spoonful or two of milk (I never do that).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using a spoon, mix in the currants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Divide the batter between cups evenly. You can sprinkle brown sugar on top to get a crust, which I didn't do with the photographed batch but I do at other times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick before turning the oven off.</div>

I am in awe of how the late summer/early fall, warm, low sunlight can change a plain scene into a multidimenstional picture: very emotional, daydream-evoking, beautiful in the simplest and yet the most striking way. Obvioulsy, it can go all wrong - those are the cheesy shots of people running through fields and holding hands amidst golden leaves. Yet, that kind of natural light brings out all the layers and plays with the qualities of a subject, shifting the picture far from flat or boring. It's not just in photography; I love <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq2a7MWbmJU" target="_blank">this scene</a> just because of how aesthetically pleasing to the eye it is, all thanks to that sunset palette. The saturation, warmth of colors has something universally comforting to it. Impressionists went crazy for it, and therefore I see no reason not to do the same. </div>

I've been looking for the Kisses album ("The Heart of the Nightlife") since May or June with no success, so in the end I just reached out to iTunes and downloaded the thing. It's been playing on repeat for two weeks now, with pauses just to listen to whatever else is included in here-posted mix, which has dance-around-the-room tracks just as well as the ones that you really notice end for a minute or two, like Flunk's <i>Play</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was supposed to be a motivational compilation, but didn't really end up that way. Instead, it has proved to be a great soundtrack to all of those activities that don't involve your mind, like unpacking and cleaning up. </div>

Margaux Lonnberg aka the superskinny girl in self-designed, barely-there t-shirts. Which seem just perfect. A girl can never have too many of those I-just-rolled-out-of-bed tops. I really like the hair&make-up here, they go so well with the feel of the clothes. My mom would probably recommend a shower here (maybe MacDonald's, too), but since messy and slept in hit the runways with Proenza Schouler etc a couple of seasons ago, showers seem to be <i>so not cool</i>!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can buy the t-shirts on <a href="http://margauxlonnberg.com/" target="_blank">Lonnberg's website</a>. You will also find more models and photos there, as well as the story behind the project. Or you could always take an old, worn out tee, grab a pair of scissors and let the the magic begin, although the DYI cutting is never as easy as it sounds.</div>

I haven't been home in a while and, as fall approaches and everything turns greyish, I start to miss it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made a compilation of songs that make me want to grab a cup of hot tea and wrap up in blankets; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a rather unvaried mix with a cosy, home-y feel to it, something to nap to while stretching out on a couch.</div>
