Comfort food

 

Comfort food is any kind of food that makes you feel comfortable, pleasant and satisfied. By extension, determining what is on the comfort food list is something personal. In my case, the most comforting dessert ever is carrot cake with cream cheese topping (honestly, I am not that into chocolate). Its flavor is unique and remarkable, because of the touch of cinnamon in the dough, and in addition, the cream cheese topping is fuzzy. Click on read more to see the recipe.

Cupcakes!

Cupcakes are everywhere! Milan, Paris, and even among friends! Frankly the Paris ones are the most beautiful, but who cares?! What happened to the muffins and bagels and churros? In a couple of months we are probably going to have cupcake carts on the streets. (I should not have said that, someone will steal my idea). Soon the UN will send boxes of cupcakes to Haiti instead of giving medical care.

But what is the problem? Is this is a conspiracy of the "American imperialism?" No one knows. (But beware, the FBI can certainly arrest you for revealing the secret plans of the US government cooks).
We must fight against this epidemic! Many have begun to build rehabilitation clinics, and you can help too. Get rid of any form of cup-shaped cake with some type of topping (be careful not to reject the muffins). Also ignore any reference to the noun "cupcake." Do not delight yourself with this aberration. Do not even take a bite: the risk of addiction is imminent. Do not even dare to look at these goodies: some say they were created by Medusa.

We must battle to have our dignity back. Spread this manifesto!

Mini-pizza to snack on at nite.

Simple and delicious. When hunger comes at dawn, use some fried egg roll dough, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and ham or turkey. Preheat oven to 325 ºF. Cut the tomatoes into 4 pieces and place them on the dough. Actually, I take the skin and seeds off the tomatoes, sprinkle a little dried onion soup and brown sugar. The onion soup prevents tomatoes detached lots of water, and also add flavor to pizza, brown sugar takes away the acidity of the tomatoes and also flavors, letting the tomatoes with a more mature taste. Of course, using industrialized tomato sauce is much more practical to use than fresh tomatoes, but not so tasty. Then add the cheese and ham and put a little oregano on top. Bake until the pastry is golden and the cheese melts.

Another way to make the pizza a little more Italian is to use buffalo mozzarella and basil.

Shortbread, chocolate, and caramel, but it is not Twix

Inspired by The National Geographic Channel, I am going to posts about gourmet on my blog. Cooking is one of the most accurate things in the world, not in measuring, but the details of its creation, which must be at least palatable. Cooking is not only a therapy or need, it is an art that many despise when they limit their food to rice and beans. What about bulgogi instead of a steak? Baked potatoes instead of rice? Would you like to try tempura, or would you rather stick to the status quo? Frankly, there is no problem in eating our traditional Brazilian food you find in any buffet restaurant. The problem is to die eating the same flavors every day. No more olive oil on the pizza! So today, I took a recipe from a blog that I love. They're the best cookies I've ever made, inspired by the article in "The New York Times" that said that everyone likes caramel with a touch of salt. See the recipe!
