Nothing since Thursday!?

Pierre must be busy. To keep you amused, I'm posting an image of an attractive capitello in Cannaregio. It is near to two churches dedicated to saints from the Old Testament, and on a fondamenta named for one of them. If you are not keen on puzzles, the answer follows in white: Capitello on Fondamenta San Giobbe, Cannaregio 579 - 579A

Basic Factors That Keep Italy Sweet!

Although life in Italy may be difficult these days because of the economic situation, there are still some very basic factors that keep this sunny country sweet.

In Italy.....

1. You can still get the best espresso coffee and croissant for total Euro 1.80 or $ 2.45. No Starbucks or Peets or Coffee Bean can compare to those offered by my neighborhood caffè bar and at that price!!

2. In my

Making Pizzelle

Recently I bought a pizzelle maker and I couldn't wait to break it in. I felt very ambitious and had visions of making all different flavors like anise, chocolate, citrus, cinnamon, orange and rum, almond and some even dipped in chocolate and then into nuts, oh yes and sprinkles for the kids! Well I didn't get all that far because making pizzeles are very time consuming!
I have a close friend Jean who can make these in her sleep! Pretty much every event in life like holidays, parties, funerals, or just a few girls getting together you can always count on Jean to bring her pizzelles. Pizzelle making is a true labor of love, you have to be patient, something I need to work on when baking or making cookies!

I followed the recipes that came with my pizzelle maker because they're all basically all about the same, flour, butter, eggs, sugar and the flavorings of your choice. After I did one batch I was pretty much done! I called Jean for advice and she gave me some good tips, like don't be in a hurry, allow a couple of hours, sit down and watch TV while your making them. My recipe said to drop a tablespoon of batter behind the center of the pattern, I did that and they were too big, batter was oozing out the sides and running into each other, I was ready to give up they looked terrible! Jean said to use a heaping teaspoon of the batter ( which comes out pretty thick) and place it in the center, I did what she said and they turned out great!

I've always loved the the designs on pizzelle irons, they make beautiful crispy wafer cookies and always look gorgeous on a platter.

Right now I'm hiding these in a big tin and plan to bring them out as part of our Thanksgiving Day dessert. I made traditional anise flavor and chocolate ones as well.

I made the sprinkled kind for my two granddaughters simply by taking the heaping teaspoon of dough and rolling it into a bowl of sprinkles right before you place the ball of batter on the iron. My advice is to do the sprinkle ones last so that you won't find any tiny sprinkles on your other flavors.

My oldest granddaughter was off of school the day I made these so she taste tested a few and gave me thumbs up all the way, so did her dad!

Jean says don't powder sugar them until the day you're going to eat them, if you have a cool place store them in a can, they last for weeks and still stay crispy, no need to freeze.

Here's the basic recipe with variations:

6 eggs** 1 cup of sugar** 1 cup of melted butter** ( Jean says you can use canola oil if you want in place of the melted butter) **2 teaspoons vanilla** 3 cups flour** 1 tablespoon baking powder**

( For anise flavor add 1 teaspoon of anise seeds and 2 teaspoons of anise extract) if you use pure anise oil, use much less like 1/2 teaspoon or a teaspoon.

( For chocolate flavor add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder)

Melt butter and set aside. Beat eggs and sugar until light yellow, 2-3 minutes. Add melted butter and vanilla or other flavorings. Beat until blended. Sift together the ingredients, fold until just blended, add remaining flour and fold again until just incorporated.

Heat pizzelle iron, place 1 heaping teaspoon of batter in center of pattern. Bake until golden brown, about 30-40 seconds. Remove and cool on a rack. Repeat with remaining batter. This could make six dozen depending on how deep your grooves are on your iron. ( Jean triples this, if you're going to do it you might as well make a bunch!)

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Oksana Mas' Eggs

Here is the material used for these hudge Oksana Mas "Mosaics". Those eggs are part of a work exposed in front of San Stae, on the Grand Canal. I must say that I had to carefully select the part I wanted to show you. Was I right or wrong I don't know, this being an artwork. Let's say it's just the photographer's choice. But the presence of a certain symbol, may be used in various ancient civilizations around the world, mainly in ancient India, but strongly associated in Europe with terrible ideologies of a recent past, disturbed me.

How Italians Feel About the Economic & Political Crises 2011

I am often amazed on how resilient Italians are. While I am glued to the Internet, TV and to every new story on the current economic and political crises in Italy, the average Italian person relates to everything as business as usual. I have asked many people how they feel about what is going on, and their answer is always the same. They say that they are accustomed to changing leadership, to

This is really quite a crude mosaic - compared with many that you can see in Venice and elsewhere - and yet the face of Mary is so sweet. This capitello is on the side of a church in Castello. It is rather high up, and difficult to take a good photo through the grill. For more mosaics and more capitelli you should visit Churches in Venice (http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/annienc/), not to be confused with The Churches of Venice site, which is really good too (http://www.churchesofvenice.co.uk/).

(en) These were the first vivisection videos taken by an organization who wants to stop animal experiments. In 1981 Lifeforce Founder Peter Hamilton and camera person Chas Leckie travelled to numerous research laboratories throughout Canada. The goal was to expose the secretive experiments on animals. The public taxpayers and donors have a right to know. These same and/or similar experiments continue today.
Our upcoming campaigns will have never seen before vivisection video/photos. We will urge politicians to give more access to vivisection information in Canada. This new campaign will show how the repeated use of animal models have not cured human diseases and injuries. One example is the crippling of animals in spinal cord experiments funded by those at th Rick Hansen Institute and the Christopher Reeve Foundation. Medical breakthroughs that help people have resulted from studying people.

(en) This is a documentary interpreting the motives and actions of the animal rights community in Salt Lake City, Utah in the face of increasing government repression.

The film suggests that an accumulation of government intrusion actually excites an escalation of action. (When the catalyst for today's radical action is plenary, then logically the reaction will be plenary.)

SINCE the making of this film one vivisector from the University of Utah has quit (and so as not to eschew the broader context mink have been released), 15 charged with targeted residential picketing, two charged with AETAs and two subpoenad to grand juries.

Making Gnocchi

Recently I taught a class on making gnocchi at my friends gorgeous home, a hands on class where everyone would take part, we started the day off early, I was all prepped and ready to go!

We made two different kinds of gnocchi, butternut squash and ricotta. The squash was roasted, pureed in a food processor along with other ingredients, and then gently mixed into a dough.

Before we started we munched on a few appetizers and had some drinks, because after all we needed to build up our energy!

And then we got down to gnocchi business, with aprons on, each person had a job, some mixing the dough, some rolling, some cutting, but everyone wanted to try out the gnocchi boards, it was fun to see how fast they were all getting, gnocchi was flying everywhere!

We quickly filled up many trays, this was the butternut squash, I just love the color and taste, a big favorite of the day! Very light not heavy tasting at all.

The key to a light and fluffy ricotta gnocchi is to drain the ricotta of all moisture, I placed my ricotta in a fine strainer over a bowl in my fridge overnight, you can't believe how much liquid comes out! By straining the ricotta you won't have to keep adding additional flour to soak up that moisture which will keep them nice and light tasting.

I roasted mushrooms with olive oil, onions, garlic and zucchini and tossed the butternut squash gnocchi into it all, topped with fresh chopped parsley and generous amounts of freshly grated parmesan.

This is a perfect autumn dish, they just melt in your mouth, and the roasted vegetables just complement it all.

Another sauce that goes well with the butternut squash gnocchi is a fontina cheese sauce with torn spinach leaves and parmesan.

You can never go wrong with a simple marinara for the ricotta gnocchi, always a favorite!

But my new favorite way of eating them is tossing them into crumbled Italian sausage, roasted mushrooms, onions, garlic and cherry tomatoes. All dowsed with olive oil and freshly grated parmesan, and a sprinkling of fresh basil and parsley. Heavenly!

A fun day it was! Thanks to all who attended. The recipes are quite long so I didn't put them in my post but I'd be happy to email them out to anyone if you so desire, just contact me at prouditaliancook@hotmail.com subject, Gnocchi.

UPDATE...

Thank you for the overwhelming response I got requesting my gnocchi recipes, I've sent out close to two hundred already! I've since learned how to post them on my Proud Italian Cook Facebook page. For those of you who are Facebook users you can get the recipes by going to my wall and on the lefthand side under "notes" they will be posted, for any others I will still email them out. Thanks to all!!

Harlan County U.S.A. (1976)

INFO:
Barbara Kopple, USA, english, 1976, 103 min.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074605/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlan_County,_USA
http://www.csfd.cz/film/207802-harlan-county-usa/

(en) Barbara Kopple's documentary account of the 1974 strike of Kentucky mine workers is arguably one of the finest documentaries ever made in the U.S. and possibly the best on the problems of organised labour. The strike began when the miners working for the Eastover Mining Co. joined the UMW, and its corporate parent, Duke Power, refused to sign the standard union contract. By living with the 180-odd families involved in the strike, Kopple shows the backbreaking burdens of the miners' life in the best of times and the looming fear of destitution in the worst.

As the strikers strive to remain united through a difficult year, Kopple photographs the picketing, the company's use of state troopers to keep the roads open for scabs, the showdowns between the miners and strikebreakers brandishing firearms. After several shootings, one miner is finally killed. During the man's wake, a memorable sequence, his mother collapses. While the film is unabashedly partisan, it's worth remembering that the company's refusal to sign a contract was condemned by the National Labor Relations Board and that the corporation agreed to sign only under heavy pressure from federal mediators. The Oscar-winning HARLAN COUNTY, USA is a landmark in the history of American documentary filmmaking.

(cz) Vynikající dokument o stávce horníků v USA. Filmaři se pohybovali skutečně uvnitř stávky. Velmi silné jsou hlavně scény noční přestřelky se stávkokazy, pohřeb zastřeleného horníka a vůbec celé prostředí amerického hornického městečka je šokující. Vše je podbarveno originálními písněmi zpívaných a mnohdy i složených samotnými horníky.

(en) What To Do In Case of Fire? tells the humorous and touching story of six former creative anarchists who lived as house squatters in Berlin during its heyday in the 80s when Berlin was still an island in the middle of the former eastern Germany. At the end of the 80s they went their separate ways with the exception of Tim and Hotte, who have remained true to their ideals and continue to fight the issues they did as a group. In 2000, with Berlin as Germany's new capital, an event happens forcing the group out of existential reason to reunite and, ultimately, come to grips with the reason they separated 12 years ago.

Policie začne pátrat po jejích členech a šest bývalých rebelů se znovu spojí, poprvé po 12 letech, aby vymysleli plán na záchranu před spravedlností. Znovu si připomenou své ideály z mládí a musí je porovnávat se svým nynějším životem. Nový oheň a náboj zapálí nejen téměř zapomenutá přátelství.

(en) Based on the real-life experiences of Mende Nazer,the story unfolds as twelve-year-old Malia,daughter of champion wrestler Bah,is abducted from her Sudanese village in the Nubar Mountains by pro-government Arab militia and sold into slavery to a woman in Khartoum,who beats her for touching her daughter. After six years she is sent to London,where her name is changed,but her miserable life of servitude continues. Her passport is taken and she is told that her father will die if she goes to the authorities. Fortunately she meets a sympathetic person who seems to offer her the hope of escape and reunion with Bah,back in Sudan. For all the film's optimism an end title states that there are around 5,000 'slave' workers currently in Britain.

Příběh se odvíjí od okamžiku, kdy je dvanáctiletá dívka Malia po přepadení své vesnice v súdánských Núbijských horách provládní arabskou milicí unesena a v hlavním městě Chartúmu prodána do otroctví. Odtržena od rodiny a své země je zde pak držena jako otrokyně v rodině súdánského diplomata, dokud není poslána k jeho příbuzným do Londýna, kde je nadále vystavena špatnému zacházení ze strany svých "majitelů". Zoufalá mladá žena se nakonec náhodně setkává s jedním krajanem, s jehož pomocí se snaží uprchnout a znovu se shledat se svým otcem, který ji po celou dobu nepřestal hledat. Film poukazuje na fakt, že podobný osud v Londýně denně prožívá na 5 000 lidí, kteří zde údajně žijí jako novodobí otroci.

Cynický a pragmatický britský agent William Walker přijíždí v devatenáctém století do Queimady, portugalské kolonie na Antillách. Jeho cílem je podnítit revoluci a získal pro Anglii výhodné podmínky při obchodu s cukrem. V nosiči vody a zavazadel José Doloresovi rozpozná potenciálního vůdce vzpoury otroků... portugalské jednotky jsou vyhnány z ostrova a moc za podpory britské vlády přebírá prozatímní vláda prezidenta Teddyho Sancheze. O deset let později Williama najme Královská společnost a vláda Queimady, která pátrá po plantážích cukrové třtiny. Jeho úkolem je dopadnout José Dolorese, který se svou armádou vzbouřenců narušuje ekonomické zájmy Anglie.

Shortening the odds

Pierre may be busy for a few days, so I thought I'd show you how difficult it can sometimes be to get a photo without people getting in the way in Venice. I had that capitello on the right beautifully framed, when, all of a sudden, two people strolled into the shot. I took the photo anyway, just to show people the problems for a photographer in Venice. I would welcome any suitable quotes. Also the location, for some reason, has gone completely out of my head.

These wooden stakes are a part of the very little tip of the iceberg. Venice was indeed built on a real underground forest of wooden poles which came from the Alps and the Balkans, and were meant to strengthen the fragile and swampy emerging grounds of the lagoon. Did you know that Santa Maria della Salute was built on 1.156.672 oak and larch trunks four meters long.

One autumn night

“One autumn night, five years before, they had been walking down the street when the leaves were falling, and they came to a place where there were no trees and the sidewalk was white with moonlight. They stopped here and turned toward each other. Now it was a cool night with that mysterious excitement in it which comes at the two changes of the year. The quiet lights in the houses were humming out into the darkness and there was a stir and bustle among the stars."

While the perpetrators left the bank having taken with them the money, the guard of the bank decides to pursue the perpetrators and notifies the police, believing that the money is insured bank are more valuable than the lives of people.

A few minutes later, the center of Athens policemen will encircle the perpetrators and ignoring the crowd surrounding them, they will begin a barrage of fire from which badly injured John Demetrakis and a passerby.

Trying to stop the perpetrators, the guard of the bank and he gets hurt too heavy.

Since that time the state and the media will begin an orgy of disinformation, slander and tromousterias to anarchist-antiauthoritarian space.

This video captures all this orchestrated effort targeting and slander anarchists, 3 of whom are forced to take refuge underground.

(gr) Στις 16 Ιανουαρίου ο αναρχικός Γιάννης Δημητράκης επιχειρεί μαζί με άλλους να ληστέψει το υποκατάστημα της Εθνικής Τράπεζας στην οδό Σόλωνος. Ενώ οι δράστες αποχωρούν από την τράπεζα έχοντας πάρει μαζί τους τα χρήματα, ο φρουρός της τράπεζας αποφασίζει να κυνηγήσει τους δράστες και ειδοποιεί την αστυνομία, θεωρώντας ότι τα ασφαλισμένα χρήματα της τράπεζας έχουν μεγαλύτερη αξία από τις ζωές των ανθρώπων.

Λίγα λεπτά αργότερα, στο κέντρο της Αθήνας οι αστυνομικοί θα περικυκλώσουν τους δράστες και αδιαφορώντας για το πλήθος κόσμου που βρίσκεται γύρω τους, θα αρχίσουν έναν καταιγισμό πυρών από τα οποία θα τραυματιστεί βαριά ο Γιάννης Δημητράκης και ένας περαστικός.

Επιχειρώντας να σταματήσει τους δράστες, ο φρουρός της τράπεζας θα τραυματιστεί και αυτός πολύ βαριά.

Από τη στιγμή εκείνη το κράτος και τα Μ.Μ.Ε. θα ξεκινήσουν ένα όργιο παραπληροφόρησης, κατασυκοφάντησης και τρομοϋστερίας με στόχο τον αναρχικό-αντιεξουσιαστικό χώρο.

Το βίντεο αυτο καταγράφει όλη αυτή την ενορχηστρωμένη προσπάθεια στοχοποίησης και κατασυκοφάντησης αναρχικών, 3 από τους οποίους αναγκάζονται να καταφύγουν στην παρανομία.
