A lill' trip around London...

...just before living England, my country, to go back to France, which is also my country... Will I ever be home?

I took this shot about three years ago, and my, it's bad. But then again, you don't have to watch it...

Songs by the Beatles, of course by the Beatles.

Tiramisu Vénitien [in french]


Voici le tiramisu que j'ai fait pour la réunion de mon association d'hier soir ! Comme je ne suis pas une pro en gâteau et que je n'ai pas de four, j'ai demandé à un copain fan de pâtisserie de me donner une recette qui ne demande pas de cuisson...

Au final, c'était très bon, malgré le fait que je n'ai pas bien fait monter les blancs en neige (ne pas utiliser un batteur électrique dans un petit bol...) et que je n'ai pas laissé reposer le tout au frais assez longtemps... Et j'ai réussi à ne rien renverser en traversant la ville ! *toute fière* A force d'avoir porté le paquet comme un bébé, j'ai une crampe au poignet...

Mais bon, quand plusieurs personnes s'étonnent que le gâteau ne vienne pas de la boulangerie, ça en vaut la peine, non?

Voici la recette, tirée du blog de Florent :

Ingrédients

  • 3 oeufs
  • 100g de sucre glace
  • 30 boudoirs(Boîte Brossard bleu de 175g de préférence)
  • 250g de mascarpone Casa Azzura
  • 3 cuillères à soupe de Marsala Cantine Pellegrino Crema di Mandorla ou de rhum vieux
  • 25 cL de café serré

Préparer le tiramisu :

Préparer le café et le verser dans une assiette à soupe.

Blanchir les jaunes d'oeufs avec le sucre (ça veut dire mélanger les deux jusqu'à ce que les jaunes s'éclaircissent...).
Ajouter le mascarpone et fouetter énergiquement jusqu'à ce que le mélange devienne un peu résistant.
Ajouter le Marsala et mélanger.
Réserver au frais.

Monter les blancs en neige ferme.
A l'aide d'une maryse en silicone, les incorporer au mélange précédent très délicatement pour ne pas les casser : partir de l'extérieur et soulever la masse pour la recouvrir du mélange.
Quand une mousse homogène est obtenue, réserver au frais.

Verser le café dans une assiette à soupe.
Imbiber rapidement les boudoirs de café.

Dans un plat, déposer alternativement une couche de boudoirs et une couche du mélange au mascarpone. Terminer par une couche du mélange au mascarpone. Réserver au frais au moins 3h (idéal 12h).

Au moment de servir, parsemer d'une fine couche de cacao en poudre 100% à l'aide d'une passoire-tamis (sinon, cela fait des marques plus sombres là où le cacao s'humidifie, comme sur la photo).


En bonus, une photo du moelleux au chocolat que j'ai aidé Elise à faire (je m'en vante, parce que c'est moi qui ai revisitée recette ^^...). Normalement c'est un fondant, mais elle a un petit four... il a cuit plus vite !


Mais ce que je voulais vraiment montrer c'est l'emballage qu'on a fait autour, parce qu'elle a insisté pour mettre du papier sulfurisé, que je ne voulais pas, et qu'elle a eut raison parce que j'ai pu faire une rose et des drapés!!

Do something dumb before you die!

"History is made by stupid people" by Arrogant Worms

Scott became famous for freezing to death in Antarctica.
Columbus made history thinking some island was India.
General Custer's a national hero for not knowing when to run.
All these men are famous, and they're also very dumb.

History is made by stupid people.
Clever people wouldn't even try.
If you wanna place in the history books,
Then do something dumb before you die.

Nobility are famous for no reason.
Marie Antoinette enjoyed her cake.
She cause a Revolution when she would not share.
And her husband lost his head for that mistake.

The Hindenburg was a giant zeppelin.
Her makers made a minor oversight.
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the no smoking light.

'Cause!

History is made by stupid people.
Clever people wouldn't even try.
If you wanna place in the history books,
Then do something dumb before you die.

Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho!
Our king and country's honor we will save.
Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho!
We're marching into history and the grave.

So, if your sons and daughters seem too lazy,
Sitting there watching that TV
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they're not making history.

Oh

History is made by stupid people.
clever people wouldn't even try.
If you wanna place in the history books,
Then do something dumb before you die.
Do something dumb before you die
Do something dumb before you die

Oh, My. Animations.

This one is almost cute.


Beware morals!!


Beware defective robot!

You know what that means. Recycle man, think green landscape and unpolluted soda!

Here's another one about the theory of evolution...

Cute? Whatever...


"Based on a true story"? I totally believe that!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, did you get my point 'cause I could go on like this all day ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

Continue ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Knock knock... who's there?

Witness the discovery of TV by prehistorical men...


Pinguin vs Ostrich race: who wins?

Sometimes couples don't work out... But only a few say I'm sorry.


Chicken or egg?

Nice balalaïka sad music.


"The unicorn dies... of a heart attack".

...music?


L'évolution d'un drôle de truc dans un univers presque daliesque...

A Love Story, TV film by Sandor Stern

That first picture could some up the movie, as would have pointed this brilliant New York Times article if I hadn't had the brilliant idea of doing it myself. However, just look at some other pictures of the Lennon & Yoko couple and you'll see that the movie, even though it's not bad, does not seem to capture enterily the essence of their relationship. Then again, who would?


A Love Story is a movie about Yoko Ono and John Lennon: how they met, how they fell in love, how they parted...
Hurray for an actor who almost looks like J.L!
Hurray for an actress who almost looks like Yoko!
Hurray for good acting!
Hurray for Beatles who absolutely not look like Beatles! (Or, not.)
And, most importantly: Hurray for Liverpool accent!

...And there I finally solved the who-the-hell-left-the-Beatles-first question.



























There is a little problem for 14/15... audio is mute!



See?
I couldn't find a video to replace it... So I don't know what's going on (even though I suppose we hear about Yoko's daughter).


Oh, come on, don't cry sweety, Lennon's not dead, that's for the movie...

The (censored) naked truth.

Why would people care that they broke up some careers?* Look at they faces. (Yes, those are some heavely monkey faced people. But that's not my point, so get over it!)

*I love the Beatles. I care about they career. It was great.

OMG, cushions

So here I was, wandering on sweet Internet wondering if I could find some classy cushions to decorate my four hundred living-room spanish castle, when I found exactly what I was looking for. DON'T PREY, THEY'RE MINE!!!

> That's something I'll use to get back at my noisy neighbours in a very subtle and sophisticated way. Or, something to hit on Guitar Guy's head.

> FINALLY! Something to ease the pain from being separated from my beloved computer at night!!


> I want to hug these!! They're awfuly ugly, though.

> Or, you could spell "pillow". Admit it, "love" makes such a sucky score...
> Look out! Subtle way to point fingers at the sweet one you want to bang.
> Or, look out! Even subtler way of pointing out your sexual urges. Or your being hungry. Or your being hungry for a peanut buttered & jamy threesome.

> This vibrating one (no kidding) is for your conforting yourself after having been dumped, slapped, crashed into the trash / washing machine (I'm poor) because of this disrespectful threesome idea of yours. > This one is to drown annoying visitors.

> I'm not on drugs, please! Give me that joystick.

> Meet some of my new pets. I won't feed them. Don't want to.

> And that's my old pet. He loooooves his new playmates. What? Oh, that? Don't pay attention, he's always moody.

> But maybe that is because his lover ... (my neighbours' sleepy bitch of a she-cat) ... is a sleepy bitch of a she-cat who cheats on him with a carpet.


> OMG! OMG! So cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! ^^ (Sorry. Franticgirlism got the best of me)


> And now comes a master plan to be awfully fair to every I'm-on-a-diet-don't eat-that-in-front-of-me bitch. First, treat them into breakfast...

... then go on with a nice burger...

...or japanese food, that's good too.

... mister Shan't Eat isn't crying yet? Treat him with a pink cupcake! (This is a pillow. I swear!)

... aaaaaaaaaaand a cherry on top!

The Lord Of The Rings queerness

Now I'm back to an old passion. But I've no time to blog on TLOTR (crapy anagram, uh?), so I'll just post random material I found while surfing...

Awww,*celesse's Frodo is so cute...
*

A not so stupid supposition...


*
You Shall Not Pass!
Or I'll give you a ticket.

*

Queer sense of humor, but one hell of a videomanipulation!

Of drunken dwaves and elves...

The Catapult Theory, by ~black3 (8 page long comic)

That's it Frodo, be a nice little hobbit and do what the mister tells you to. And remember Gandalf's advice: "Frodo! Try to aim for the lava!!!"

Some might ask, "why the catapult?". Well, as Boromir explains, one does not simply walk into Mordor... (and no, Frodo, one doesn't! This discussion is ov-Oh, wait- yes, yes, you do).

Watch this one at your own risk and peril.
Not recommended to those whose brain is still alive.
Recommended to the other damaged ones.
Seriously.

Ici les frenchies ! Pour Frodo et Sam, c'est la grande vadrouille...

Rainbow movies spread the love


Ever noticed that the appropriate amount of cuts made into a movie could totally change its meaning? No? Then, see absolute proof of that below and spread the joy!

Rainbow Potter
Evidence taken from "the Soup" TV show (Potter's definitely gay...)







Rainbow Narnia
The weird part is that it's actually very easy to manipulate this particular movie into gayness. I wonder why...



Rainbow Pirates


Rainbow Lord of the Rings
One has to admit, Sam is very devoted to his master. (But for those who really wonder, he's been in love with Rosey since the begining of the story).






Rainbow Star Wars
Because even robots have the right to love.


Rainbow Star Trek
I seriously wonder why people consider that a deep bond between two friends might result into sexual intercourse. Is not like loving someone makes your want to do it with them, right?



Now, here's actual proof that Star Trek supported gayness (at least for publicity).



Requiem for a dream, movie by Darren Aronofsky, 2000

Dreams of youth... dreams of beauty...
Dream of not feeling lonely anymore.

Dreams of success. Dreams of an easy life.
A life with the one you love.

Lots of dreams with one dead-end.
This movie moved me to the core.


Movie ST, "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell. It hurts...

The movie is based on a novel written by Hubert Selby, Jr.

Hydropolis projet - Dubai


It was supposed to open in 2007... an underwater hotel situated in Dubai, meant to sensibilise people to environmental issues through making then pay 400€ a night in a place that was built oven dead fishes bodies. Because that's how human do it baby.

One has to admit, it's pretty impressive... almost as impressive as the delay taken in its construction... I'm looking forward it's oppening. That would be the hell of a place for Di Caprio to titanic again.

So what do you think... you and me, getting a room?
