Sweet Ricotta Pie

It isn't Easter time without a ricotta pie! I know there are hundreds of different ways to make ricotta pie, but if you like the flavor of cannoli's then you're going to love this. A blend of ricotta, orange zest, candied orange peel, mini chocolate chips and a hint of cinnamon flavors this pie. You still have plenty of time to make this, but if you feel rushed and don't have time to make the crust, go ahead and use the pre-made kind, no one's going to call you out on it, or if you know of a good quality frozen one, you could use that too. But if you're feeling adventurous and want to make it from scratch, you won't regret it, the crust stays crunchy even the next day!
Recipe adapted from Scorsese Family Cookbook

Ingredients for Crust:

2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening, 1 large egg beaten slightly, 3 tablespoons of ice water.



To make the pie crust:
Into a bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the shortening and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons of the ice water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and toss to combine, adding more water, if necessary, to form a dough. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic, until firm.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle 1/8-inch thick and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edge, prick the bottom, and chill while making the filling.

Now for an important note: Make sure you drain your ricotta good! You don't want it to be wet, make sure you get all the excess moisture out or else it will affect the cooking time and texture. You could drain it overnight in the fridge or a couple of hours before you put it together.

Here's the filling: 1 1/2 lbs of ricotta, 3/4 cup sugar, 5 large eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, zest of one orange, 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips, semi sweet, and 1/2 cup of diced candied orange peel.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the ricotta with the sugar until very smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir in the candied fruit, zest of one orange and chocolate chips. Pour the filling into the pie shell. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and swirl it with the tip of a knife.
Bake the pie for 45 minutes, or until ricotta is set and toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and chill.

Make sure you chill it down in the refrigerator before you slice into it to receive the optimum full flavor.

Happy Easter!

Il Casino degli Spiriti

Many scaring stories circulate about this so called "House of the spirits" isolated over the lagoon, in the north of Cannaregio, some steps from Madona del Orto church. This large 16th century house is indeed part of the Contarini del Zaffo palace. Some say one can hear uncanny noises coming from it at night, other that they have seen flickering lights through the windows. Some say that magical rituals took place there. Others that back in time the deceased used to be put here for a while before being sent to San Michele. I've heard too that in recent years, some rich owners renovated the house and had one bathroom paint in black... Anyway, these owners, disturbed by some "ghosts", didn't live here too long.

(cz) Oficiální text České televize:
Dokument režiséra Jana Dadáka se věnuje motivům a důsledkům individualismu v české společnosti. Lidé zastávající nepopulární postoje, nezvolili nejlehčí životní cestu. Čelí nepochopení, společenské nepopularitě, nezřídka obětují vztahy k blízkým lidem, zaměstnání, popř. majetek. V krajních případech jsou kriminalizováni, prohlašováni za psychicky nemocné, jsou jim podsouvány falešné motivace.

Jak takoví lidé žijí, jaké pravdy zastávají, čím prošli, v čem jsou charakterově a názorově jiní, že vyčnívají a nevejdou se do zaběhnutých kolejí? Rebelové s příčinou i bez příčiny, jací jsou a jak se jim žije v české společnosti? Existuje v našem národním povědomí vůbec něco jako respekt k individuálnímu odporu či individuálnímu postoji? Je pro nás nehrdiny rebel hrdinou? Nebo jen podivínem? Jak vnímá většina své nezdravé jedince, je k nim lhostejná? Rozlišuje, jde-li o postoj morální, racionální, demokratický? Jakých forem nabývá novodobá exkomunikace?

O důvodech a důsledcích osamoceného hájení názoru v dokumentu hovoří filozof a religionista Ivan Štampach, spisovatelka a publicistka Petra Dvořáková, členové České pirátské strany, zastánce alternativní medicíny Dušan Dvořák, ochránce zvířat Michal Kolesár a nezávislý umělec Milan Kozelka.

Drobná oprava:
V dokumentu je uvedeno, že jsem trestně stíhán v Rakousku a v České republice. Pravdou je, že v Rakousku jsem vyšetřován, ale nikoli stíhán (nebo o tom nevím) a v České republice bylo trestní stíhání zastaveno jako neodůvodněné.

Stuffed French Toast with Fig and Cream Cheese

Stuffed french toast, what can I say, if you haven't had it your missing out, so simple to make at home, it takes common french toast and elevates it to a much higher level, worthy of being the star on your brunch or breakfast table, it could feed a crowd, be made ahead of time and kept warm in your oven.



Think of your favorite jam's or marmalade's, apricot, orange, peach, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry or plum, or if you prefer any fresh berries will do.


I recently purchased a huge jar of fig paste that was out of this world from a middle eastern store in the city, I couldn't believe it was only $5.00! Loaded with figs and much thicker than a jam, it worked perfectly, I'm going back for more.


I like to use a good hearty Italian bread or a country loaf, artisan style that you can cut yourself.
Make 1 1/2 inch slices and then with your paring knife make a slit to form a pocket, be careful not to cut all the way through.


For each individual serving I used a mixture of 2 tablespoons of fig paste along with 2 tablespoons of reduced fat cream cheese, so just figure out how many servings you're going to make and you'll be able to figure out the amounts. If you're using fresh berries you might want to add a little powdered sugar in the cream cheese for added sweetness.

Your egg mixture for dipping your french toast will consist of eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. I always sprinkle more cinnamon on top while it's cooking, the more the better!

(cz) Film Květ pouště vznikl podle stejnojmenné autobiografické knihy autorky Waris Dirie, která vyrůstala do svých třinácti let v Somálsku a po útěku do Londýna se stala jednou z nejznámějších světových topmodelek. Když se kniha v roce 1998 objevila na pultech knihkupectví, svět byl šokován. Bývalá modelka vypráví dechberoucí životní příběh, v němž popisuje svou neuvěřitelnou cestu od kočovného života v somálské poušti na nejznámější světová přehlídková mola. Byl to sen a noční můra zároveň. V New Yorku, na vrcholu své kariéry, poprvé v rozhovoru otevřeně promluvila o problému ženské obřízky, kterou sama vytrpěla, když jí bylo teprve 5 let. Krátce po rozhovoru se rozhodla, že skončí s kariérou modelky a zasvětí život boji proti tomuto starobylému rituálu. Od roku 1997 je Velvyslankyní UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) pro odstranění problému ženské obřízky ve světě.

(en) The larger scope of the story explores the gun trade to Africa that takes place under the covers -- Russian pilots fly guns into Africa, then fly fish back out to Europe. The hazards and consequences of this trade are explored, including the pan-African violence propagated by constant flow of weapons into the continent. If it is a "survival of the fittest" world, as Darwin concluded, then the capitalist interests that fund the gun runners are climbing the evolutionary ladder on the backs of the Africans in this stark Darwinian example. Much like the foreseeable extinction of the Lake Victoria perch, and death of Lake Victoria itself, the Africans are in grave jeopardy, even as they survive in the only ways they know how.

(sk) Ačkoliv se celovečerní dokument známého evropského dokumentaristy soustřeďuje na mikrokosmos u pobřeží Viktoriina jezera v Tanzánii, vypovídá velmi naléhavě o globálních problémech současného světa. V šedesátých letech byl do tohoto největšího tropického jezera na světě (odkud vytéká Nil) vysazen nilský okoun. Tento predátor se zde rozmnožil takovým způsobem, že vyhubil všechno živé. Zároveň se ovšem stal zdrojem obživy pro chudý kraj a významným vývozním artiklem. Ruské dopravní letouny denně odvážejí do Evropy a do Japonska 500 tun ryb (a nazpět nezřídka ilegálně dovážejí zbraně). Vznikly tu moderní rybárny, ale také děsivé pracovní kolonie, v nichž domodorodé obyvatele kosí AIDS, alkohol a zločin. Hubert Sauper s kolegou natočili v obtížných podmínkách a pod různým krytím rozhovory s mnoha lidmi: od ruských a ukrajinských pilotů přes nočního strážce a prostitutku až po majitele rybárny a oficiální představitele.

(en) About the life and work of controversial American Jewish academic Norman Finkelstein.
American Radical is the probing, definitive documentary about American academic Norman Finkelstein.

A devoted son of holocaust survivors, ardent critic of Israel and US Mid-East policy, and author of five provocative books including, "The Holocaust Industry", Finkelstein has been steadfast at the center of many intractable controversies, including his recent denial of tenure at DePaul University.

Called a lunatic and disgusting self-hating Jew by some, and an inspirational street-fighting revolutionary by others, Finkelstein is a deeply polarizing figure whose struggles arise from core questions about freedom, identity and nationhood.

From Beirut to Kyoto, the filmmakers follow Finkelstein around the world as he attempts to negotiate a voice among both supporters and critics, providing an intimate portrait of the man behind the controversy while giving equal time to both his critics and supporters.

What to do with an Over Abundance of Asparagus

Lately I've been buying a ton of asparagus, they're popping up all over in grocery stores, markets and menus, a sure sign of spring, and over the last couple of weeks I've been making them all different ways. Here's just a few ideas to serve them either as a side or a starter.

Asparagus with Gorgonzola and Hazelnuts

Make a vinaigrette with 3/4 cup of olive oil to 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1 shallot minced, 1 teaspoon Dijon, a squeeze of 1/2 lemon, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended. Pour some of it over your roasted asparagus, crumble up some Gorgonzola and sprinkle on top, garnish with toasted chopped hazelnuts.

Note: You'll likely have extra vinaigrette unless you make a huge amount of asparagus, so bottle it up and save it for salads of all kinds.

Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

Mix lemon zest and parmesan cheese together with salt and cracked pepper, use this mixture to sprinkle over your raw asparagus.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve 1 stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. Take 1 or 2 sheets of phyllo and brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with the parmesan mixture. Place 2 to 3 asparagus spears on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve with an aioli, or in this case I used Stacey's wonderful romesco sauce for dipping.

Roasted Asparagus with Sun-Dried Tomato Gremolata

In a food processor add 6 sun-dried tomatoes marinated in oil, 2 cups of parsley, 1 cup of basil, 1 clove of garlic.

Pulse til desired chunkiness. Sprinkle over your roasted asparagus. Great with cauliflower too!

Creamy Asparagus Soup

This is the perfect soup for springtime , I found this recipe while visiting Deb's blog last Sunday, she just raved about how good it was and said it was a winner three times over. Fortunately I had everything I needed to make this and whipped it up in no time, it took less than 30 minutes. We loved it, very healthy and low fat, I just used a dash of milk at the end to "cream it up" a bit. Oh, and it has secret ingredients that make it extra special. Go check out the recipe here.

(en) The Streets are Watching is a 50 minute video that takes a fresh look at police accountability through the eyes of three communities; Denver, Cincinnati and Berkeley. Independent filmmaker, Jacob Crawford, weaves three cities responses to police brutality into a single tale of community empowerment and direct action. Within an amazing collection of footage that portrays police conduct and misconduct, the film conveys basic legal concepts that can provide practical help to groups and individuals seeking a clearer understanding of their rights when dealing with police. The film is divided into sections that explain our basic rights, tactics for documenting police activity and ideas for further action and organizing. BerkeleyCopwatch.org Jacobsladderproduction.com

(en) A new generation of international street artists are the latest hot property for galleries, art collectors and big advertising brands.



Filmed in New York, London, Paris, Sao Paulo and Tokyo, it introduces the graffiti-inspired street art pioneers Futura 2000, Ramm:ell:zee, Os Gemeos, Space Invader, Blek le Rat, Miss Van Eine, some whose art is now celebrated among the trendy and wealthy of New York and London.



The movement started in the late '70s when hip hop and the spray can emerged from the lanes and backstreets and spread like a virus across the urban landscapes of the rest of the world. Art patron Agnes B and art curator Jerome Sans comment on the early days of Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat, when graffiti changed the streets of New York and then of other cities around the planet.



It reveals how these artists have developed a unique system of economic survival, from selling limited-edition prints to clothing designs for streetwear labels and creating record labels and logos for youth brands.



(sk)

Nová generácia medzinárodných streetartistov sú najnovším majetkom pre galérie, umelecké zbierky a veľké reklamné značky.



Točené v mestách ako New York, Londýn, Paríž, Sao Paulo a Tokio, predstavuje grafitmi inšpirovaných streetart priekopníkov Futura 2000, Ramm:ell:zee, Os Gemeos, Space Invader, Blek le Rat, Miss Van Eine, ktorých umenie je momentálne oslavované medzi trendy a bohatými ľuďmi v New Yorku a Londýne.



Hnutie začalo v neskorých 7. rokoch, keď hip hop a spreje vyšli z uličiek a šírili sa ako vírus po mestách po celom svete. Priaznivec umenia Agnes B a kurátor Jerome Sans komentujú začiatky Keitha Haringa a Jeana Michela Basquiata, keď grafity zmenili ulice New Yorku a iných miest po celej planéte.



Dokument predstavuje, ako si títo umelci vytvorili unikátny systém ekonomického prežitia z predaja limitovaných návrhov oblečenia rôzne značky a z vytvárania hudobných vydavateľstiev a lôg značiek pre mladých.

Newlywed Couple Thoroughly Enjoying Registry Gifts (Austin, TX)

As DoBianchi and I settle into our married life and adorable little house, we are absolutely in love with every single wedding gift we have received so far. Case in point: Crock Pot (thank you Uncle Ray and Aunt Gladys).

I suffered a slight scare the first time I used it. There was a faint electrical burning smell/smoke that almost sent me into post-registrum depression, but it went away and all is well. Crock Pot and I are getting along swimmingly now! I took one of my fave braised dishes and translated it to the slow cooker. (If you must now, I am an unabashedly enthusiastic braiser.)

I know it ain't much to look at, but it sure tastes good--just ask mah man. Since you can't discern brown from beige here, I'll tell you what it is: pork chops smothered with cabbage. I've been making chicken smothered with cabbage (pretty sure it was a recipe from Marcella Hazan) for quite a few years now, so changing one meat for another is simply a matter of mood.

And who doesn't love a pork chop? I don't not.

Here's what you do:
*Take four pork chops (in the four-pack they only had loin chops, center-cut or rib chops work just fine too) and brown 'em up good in the All-Clad 3 qt braise pan that yo' mamma and daddy gave you for Christmas. Place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
*Take half of an onion, sliced, and brown slightly in the same pan. Add a couple of cloves of garlic when the onions are almost done. (You can throw everything in the pot raw, but your laziness will translate in the finished dish as a sigh of mediocrity :)
*Transfer onion/garlic to Crock Pot in a layer over chops.
*Deglaze the pan with a hit of white wine (in my case, whatever is left over from a week's worth of working in wine biz), enough to cover the pan. Scrape up yummy bits and let it reduce. Add about 3/4 cup of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Pour over contents of Pot. You don't want too much liquid because the cabbage will contribute to the juices.
*Add 1/2 head of chopped cabbage (you can throw in a whole head too if you like) on top of everything.
*Lower the hatch and let it ride on High for 4 hours (3 will work too, if you have less time), or around 6-7 on Low.

What you will witness when you open the lid is quite unattractive to behold (see photo above) but SO so good. All that's left to do is open a rich rose'...we love the Campirosa by Illuminati. It's a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo** DOC and shows lots of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and a surprising hint of lemon zest. There's still an ephemeral spritz in the '08 that balances the sweet caramelized cabbage and earthy pork perfectly. It's available around Austin, for sure at Mandola's, and surely elsewhere.

Buon appetito!

**Cerasuolo comes from the ancient Italian word ceraso, the same word that gives us ciliegia (cherry). It indicates the cherry-like nature of something.

(en) Bold Native is a fiction feature film. Charlie Cranehill, an animal liberator wanted by the United States government for domestic terrorism, emerges from the underground to coordinate a nationwide action as his estranged CEO father tries to find him before the FBI does. The film simultaneously follows a young woman who works for an animal welfare organization fighting within the system to establish more humane treatment of farmed animals. From abolitionists to welfarists, Bold Native takes on the issue of modern animal use and exploitation from several angles within the context of a road movie adventure story.

The filmmakers’ background in documentary informed the creative approach to Bold Native. Self-financed and shot with a four person team in real-world locations, sometimes using real activists, lawyers, and formerly imprisoned animal liberators, the film weaves an intricate tale of one of the most important issues facing America and the world morally and ecologically – the impact and consequences of industrialized animal use. And with a character who faces prosecution and potential lifetime imprisonment under the recently passed Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) for property crimes currently considered terrorism, the film also illuminates the danger of corporate interests influencing the law in a post-9/11 world.

Who is the Bold Native? Find out this summer.

(sk) Bold Native je fiktívny celovečerný film. Osloboditeľ zvierat Charlie Cranehill je hľadaný vládou USA za domáci terorizmus. Charlie sa objaví z utajenia, aby koordinoval celonárodnú akciu zatiaľ čo jeho otec, riaditeľ jednej korporácie, sa ho snaží nájsť skôr, než ho objaví FBI. Film zároveň sleduje príbeh mladej ženy, ktorá pracuje pre animal welfare organizáciu, bojujúc vrámci systému za zavedenie ľudskejších metód v chove zvierat. Od abolicionistov až po welfaristov, Bold Native sa podujal priblížiť tému moderného využívania a vykorisťovania zvierat z viacerých uhlov, v rámci kontextu dobrodružného príbehu road movie.

(en) Creation is a fascinating cinematic experience from start to finish, and it is hard to resist its captivating magic. Honestly, I was thinking that I would watch something like one of the ordinary biography documentaries, but I was totally wrong. The director Jon Amiel’s nice touches and clever ideas create a subtle movie, make Darwin more human and more real. I sometimes laughed with joy and sometimes –I confess– cried. Paul Bettany was brilliant in his role and Martha West was cute as Darwin’s daughter Annie. The movie tells a short period of time, and mostly deals with the loss of Annie, and Darwin’s personal dilemma before he published On the Origin of Species, but it’s a rare opportunity to look from the eyes of a genius mind who “killed God”.

(cz) Co se stane, když světově proslulý vědec zdrcený ztrátou nejstarší dcery napíše knihu, která prokáže neexistenci boha? Příběh filmu, který vychází z biografie Charlese Darwina od Randala Keynese, popisuje vznik jeho mistrovského kousku "O původu druhů". Osudy celého světa byly, ale také nemusely být ovlivněny revolučním teoretikem z malé anglické vesničky, jehož "věděcká víra" byla denně konfrontována s dogmatickými názory silně nábožensky založené manželky. Hlavní postavy ztvární skuteční manželé Paul Bettany a Jennifer Connelly.

Braised Artichokes

I know spring is here because I see artichokes popping up all over in the stores. Artichokes happen to be one of my top 5 vegetables that I couldn't live without! So with that being said, whenever I see them cooked a different way or a new recipe I haven't tried, I'm all over it!

Such is the case with braising artichokes, would you believe I've never actually braised an artichoke before?
I've stuffed many in my lifetime with various fillings, I couldn't put a number on it.

I've fried them (don't do that anymore), grilled them ( so good ), put them in everything you can imagine, salads, omelette's, quiche, dips, bruschetta, crostini, hummus, salsa, pasta dishes, risotto, pizzas, soup, added alongside meat dishes, marinated, frozen or fresh it doesn't matter!


I came across this recipe from the book Salt to Taste, and I'm so glad I did, this will now become part of my beloved artichoke repertoire. Great for a buffet or an antipasto table, it tastes best when slightly warm or at room temperature. I used fresh artichokes for this recipe so it took a little time to cut them in quarters and to prep them, but oh so worth it. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use frozen instead, I would not recommend marinated.


Here's the fabulous recipe:
Adapted from Salt to Taste
4 large artichokes quartered with choke out and rubbed with lemon, tender leaves only
2 lemons
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
3 sliced garlic cloves
3 small whole red pepperoncini, or less if you like
1 T. of dried oregano
1 large onion, thick slices
2 small rosemary sprigs
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 T of white wine vinegar, I used fresh lemon juice instead
1/4 cup of chicken broth
Salt and cracked black pepper

After your artichokes are prepped and ready to go, place oil, garlic, pepperoncini and oregano on low in a large deep skillet. Gently warm til garlic is soft about 5 minutes. Add onion, rosemary and cook over low heat until onion is soft. Add wine, vinegar or lemon juice and broth. Bring it to a boil then reduce to a simmer, add the artichokes and cook til tender. Allow to cool, serve warm or room temperature.


The flavors all blend together perfectly and you get a hint of spicy because you never cut the pepperoncini open, you could just place them in at the end the heat will slightly seep out. Garnish with lemon slices.


Imagine this with some good crusty bread for dipping the juice, some imported cheese like provolone, olives and some Italian deli meats, heaven!


Have a great weekend and Buon Appetito!
