Faceboom

Interestingly today I had lunch with some friends and some former colleagues talked something about Facebook and people said "I'm nobody, I do not have Facebook ...."

Facebook, Orkut, Hi5 and other social networks have become a fever in the last 8 years. There are several people who enjoy seeing the pictures of those who do not know, to send party invitations to send advertising messages, make ridiculous comments (Orkut allowed all this).

Some time ago I had a hassle with some comments left on profiles of people known friends. After a few months, I came to be blackmailed by a message through this "Petrine" ask for money, in return for the comments ... I ignored the request and after about 3 or 4 all threats stopped.

The Veja magazine even published a story about the invasion of social networks and problems brought on by exposure of the information.

Faerman Juan, Argentine writer, recently published a book mocking Facebook. On your site , the book description says, "depth," "cynicism," "irony" and "humor" does not seem to end assignable to Facebook ...

The video presentation of the book is very good.

I like to cook, especially when people get home (the trick is sure to serve all afternoon until they are hungry, have worked very well ... so everything looks perfect and delicious.)

Master noggin!

Often I can not recall the revenue, at the request of some friends and have a backup revenue decided to start writing them on the blog .

The idea is to write the recipe and tell the story that is associated with the food that was made.

In general I like fast food. I like to invent, to merge intense flavors (ginger, basil, cinnamon, pepper, cloves of India, rosemary, pesto ...) these flavors make a big difference in the dish.

I often see recipes on television, the Internet, read magazines, there take the basic ingredients of the recipe, and then always give some personal touches in accordance with what I have available at home.

In my recipes, I do not usually use measures, will do my best to be able to convert the "olhômetro" in teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces, pounds ... The details of wash the vegetables, take out the rotten part of the remains, wipe the scales, wash hands ... I will not write it, it is understood that the vegetables should be washed, some peeled and so on.

Here's the first recipe.

This entry is a classic in the meetings of friends, the first time was when I still lived in Madrid. Once I ate at a restaurant serving a la plancha legumbres (vegetables on the plate) had tomatoes, corvette, eggplant, mushrooms and asparagus ... I had bought did not know what to do with them, how to, there was in the fridge waiting for something. Two or three days after having been in the restaurant we had a party at a friend's house ( Cesar Vigo ), took the asparagus was a success, the entrance is very good!

Asparagus sauteed with salt and olive oil

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of green asparagus (preferably large)
• Coarse salt
• Olive oil

Preparation:

Cut the asparagus lengthwise.

Heat a wire (wide) olive oil in a frying pan. After the hot oil, add the asparagus with the salt and stir well (leave 1 minute).

Put in a serving dish and serve hot

The ideal is to eat with your hand. In general serve as a snack before sitting at the table.

The boludo * (their parents christened him with another name: Carlos Recarey ) came yesterday in Madrid and will be a few days at my house.

He brought me a gift, a bottle of Hendrick's Gin . I could not hide my contentment with the present, only connoisseurs of GIN realize what I'm saying.

Hendrick's Gin

The Hendrick's gin, gin is a special, produced in a small distillery in Ayrshire in Scotland . This is an original and unique drink, or as defined by the distiller William Grant , a gin "iconoclastic" - both for its Scottish origin, as it contains, in addition to traditional ingredients (juniper, coriander and lemon juice), infusion of cucumber and rose petals.

Usually when preparing a gin and tonic with Hendrick's NOT use lemon slices, replace it with slices of cucumber. It is simply excellent!
