Jess Riva Cooper (previously) produces smooth ceramic busts, the mouths agape rather than closed in smile or silent contemplation. Tangled vines and rosebuds sprout from their mouths, and in some cases leaves from plants pop from the busts’ noses, engulfing the faces in their entirety. In each bust the plants are used as both ornamentation and methods of destruction, forming crowns on the subjects’ heads as they wrap themselves around the neck in a threatening gesture. More

We have an old Hungarian tradition, that I remember from childhood, that my grandmother used to make, at least once a week called "túrós tészta (csusza)"...cottage cheese noodles! My mom used to make it, and my aunt, and sister, as well. The only difference is that my mom would make it with homemade noodles, and use fresh "farmers cottage cheese" and farmers sour cream, and real bacon, which could be considered "organic" bacon without "nitrates" added that we could actually buy these days, in Whole Foods Market. Now, I don't have a step-by-step directions for this delicious and satisfying dish, that you can serve, with or without the crispy bacon bits, if you want it meatless...but oh, my! those organic uncured crispy bacon bits really, really add some extra flavor. Hungarian Cottage Cheese Noodles hand me down "oral" recipe from my mom 1 lb. wide egg noodles 1lb. small curd cottage cheese, or farmer cheese (dry cottage cheese "Friendship" brand) 1 lb. sour cream 1/4 lb unsalted butter or margarine salt and pepper to taste 4 slices of bacon (I used organic uncured) Boil noodles till done, set aside. Cook bacon till crispy. Set aside on double paper towel to soak up the excess grease, and chop coarse. Set aside. Spray a casserole with cooking spray. As soon as you drain the pasta, put it back into the pot, add the butter or margarine, half of the cottage cheese, half the amount of the sour cream, and mix together. (also, you can fold in half the chopped bacon.) Top with the rest of the bacon, and bake in a 350 degree F. pre-heated oven for about 25-35 minutes, till it gets nice and crispy on the top. To serve, spoon extra cottage cheese and a spoon of sour cream, and serve...Serves 4-6 note: this is so delicious, even the little ones love this dish, and look forward to having this. My daughter and I make this this at least once a week! ...and now, for the Book Giveaway! Signed by the author! Here's a yummy cucumber sandwich photo, and recipe! 1 cucumber sliced in half lenghtwise, seeds removed, and cut into 1 inch cubes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 6 Tablespoon butter, and room temperature 6 white rolls cut in half 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill In a bow, combine the cucumber and salt.

Makes 12 Pineapple, Strawberry, and Banana Salad 1 pineapple cut into small chunks 5 bananas sliced 1 pound strawberries, stems removed, cut into thirds, or halves Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and serve immediately. Or, if you want to prepare the salad ahead of time, cut the pineapple and strawberries, and wait until the last minute to slice the bananas, so they don't turn brown. Serves 12 Classic Tomato, Basil and Garlic Topping 7 to 8 plum or heirloom tomatoes roughly chopped 10 basil leaves finely chopped 1 garlic clove minced 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl, and stir well.

When it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 minutes. Add the barley, and cook for another 45 minutes. Just before serving, add the salt, pepper, and chopped sage, and stir.

26.05.2017 Talk of the town recently this cake is selling like HOT CAKE!! hahaha....It is a HOT CAKE! Yes its the Taiwan Castella Sponge Cake im talking about. Its starting branching in some part of Malaysia and Singapore because of the high demand and all that sensational story about this cake, everyone is talking about it and some trying to bake them to get a first hand experience themselves, one of them is me.... lol* I have not try the real / original cake, but here i bake one, so its just basically a spongy sponge cake, i do not want to condemn much about the test as i have not try the real one yet. When reading about this cake, people always complain about the long queue for a piece of sponge cake! Now what is it so special? Im curious to know too and thats why i got this recipe today from Steph's Wonder and immediately i try out to see what is all about. While im baking this cake, i can't wait to see it rise! When its done in one hour, immediately took it out from oven, flip over when it is still piping hot! i do it like how it should be, remove, flip and cut. The truth reveal....testing time, Taste...... just like an ordinary sponge cake!!! Good.... but just a plain sponge cake.... lol** Anyway, its nice to eat when its warm, I like the texture spongy and basically that's it. I hope my recipe is the right sponge cake that i am looking for. My point of view, maybe many people curious and attracted the way they present the cake when its out from the oven, its steaming hot, a big cake, beautiful fluffy looking cake, they flip, they measure and cut, its kind of a new naked cake show we do not see from any bakery in century, its basically a good presentation and they did break the record of how good the idea is selling their product. Its kind of impressive for many especially those cake lovers, i think that is all about a sponge cake! I will try to bake another famous sponge cake with cheese, probably that makes some difference. CASTELLA SPONGE CAKE 6 egg yolks 75g oil 60g milk 90g cake flour 6 egg whites ( used cold egg whites from the fridge ) 75g caster sugar 1g salt ( dash of salt ) METHOD:- * 8" square pan, lightly grease with oil side and bottom, line grease paper side and bottom, insert cardboard at 4 side of square pan. * Heat oil in microwave for 2 minutes. or heat with a sauce pan, once it is hot, remove pan from stove. * Mix in sifted flour into hot oil mix well with a balloon whisk. * Add in milk slowly, mix evenly and continue with egg yolks add into mixture, mix until all combine into smooth batter. * Beat white and salt and gradually add in sugar until soft to stiff peak. * Add meringue 1/3 meringue into batter with whisk, mix well, fold in 2nd 1/3 portion mix gently and is ok if u see some meringue not totally mix through and fold in the batter into the remaining 1/3 portion of meringue, fold with a spatula gently until all combine. * Preheat oven 150c steambath ( i preheat my oven at 170c with steambath ) * Steam bake 150c for 1 hour ( i steam bake at 170c for 1 hour center oven ) * If you find the finishing result bottom cake is dense, you can remove water, continue bake another 10 minutes "lower oven heat only" with a lower temperature to dry off the cake bottom. * When it is done, remove cake from oven, flip over remove grease paper, and invert cake on clean grease paper or plate. cut cake while its hot and eat warm. Happy Baking!!
