Love

Listening to Diana Krall's "Lets fall in love"... hmmm - love is a mysterious thing.  How can love persist for decades? It can happen fast - but never would last - at least on my side - I need strong motiviation and the other person to work hard on it.  Am too spoiled and lazy to do maintenance work!  Like it or not, eventually, I have to do that in a relationship, if I will have one. Ai ya... Sigh. 

"Pick Yourself Up"
Pick Yourself Up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again!

For all my lovely hardworking friends in banking, please do listen to this song. It really helps.

Thank you for accepting who I am, and telling me that sometimes my ideas won't fly, and bearing with my Pisces drama.

Mu ah!

Souffle. 苏芙里. 知道它, 是从亦舒的小说里.  Google结果如下. "喜宝"里, 勖存姿是那么的愤怒, 因为喜宝居然给另一个男人做了苏芙里, 结果他枪杀了那个男人. 这种甜点, 是要花很多时间的.


1. Vanilla Souffle

souffle2.jpg
我一直很想做這道甜品Souffle 舒芙蕾(從亦舒小說中看到的翻譯),恰好讓我在電視上看到Martha StewartTodd English的試範, 看得口水都快流下來, 吃過了以後發現這真是我的甜品No.1 comfort food. 雖然做起來有點煩瑣, 但是值得一試.

材料:
1. 牛奶1杯
2. 蛋三個, 蛋黃與蛋白分開
3. 香草精 1小匙
4. 低筋麵粉 cake flour 50g
5. 細糖40g+25g
6. 鹽約1/8小匙
7. 少許奶油與糖(塗抹在容器上用)

做法:

1. 將舒芙蕾杯子(我用的是四個6盎司磁杯)內部及邊緣先塗上奶油, 然後灑上細糖, 拿杯子起來轉一轉, 讓細糖均勻裹住杯子內部, 這樣烤好的舒芙蕾會站的比較直, 外部的糖會有脆脆的口感.
2. 牛奶加上香草精放進鍋中以小火加熱, 小滾就可以關火先放一旁. 將40g糖與麵粉及鹽混合, 加入一半加熱好的牛奶, 攪拌好後放回剩餘牛奶的鍋中, 放回爐上, 用小中火加熱. 這時要不停的攪動, 直到變成濃綢平滑就可離火.
3. 準備一個大盆中放入冰塊與水, 將3個蛋黃稍微打散, 一個個的加入做法2中, 混合好後, 用保鮮膜蓋上鍋, 將整鍋放在大盆中冷卻.
4. 將蛋白放入另一個盆中, 用攪拌器打至軟性發泡, 加上糖25g, 繼續打至硬性發泡.
5. 輕輕的將打好的蛋白分次加入冷卻好的蛋黃麵糊中, 用切翻的方式混合. 分放到舒芙蕾杯子中, 只要8分滿, 然後用手指在麵糊邊緣繞一圈, 幫助舒芙蕾站的漂亮的技巧之一.
6. 烤箱預熱375F, 烤約20分鐘, 直到表面金黃, 拿出來後馬上加一球香草冰淇淋. 灑上糖粉, 要趁熱吃喔. 請小心容器很燙.

我的小撇步:
1. 本來的食譜6-8人份的, 我試著減量到4人份, 分裝完後還是有剩一點麵糊.
2. 做法3後面原始食譜還要冰到冰箱中, 要用時拿出來放到室溫時再加入打好的蛋白.我 沒有冰是因為急著想吃, 不能等那麼久.
3. 冰淇淋當然可以放任何一種愛吃的口味.
4. 我沒有再灑上糖粉, 覺得這樣的糖量對我來說已經有點太甜.

大概是指手指頭沾上麵糊以後, 繞杯緣內徑一圈, 讓麵糊沾在烤杯裡.

Hi, 我也不知道後來塌下去算不算成功, 因為我都拿出來沒多久馬上吃, 再加上加冰淇淋, 就一定會塌的,
一杯是指量杯250CC/8oz..

忘了問...
你的牛奶一杯指的是???

@_@
我做的是巧克力的Souffle.....
第一次沒膨...
第二次有膨起來
可是過一下子就消掉了!!!
這樣也算失敗嗎 ??
(我懷疑是我看的那本書教法有問題........)

就是麵糊倒進杯子後, 用手指在杯緣內繞一圈
讓杯緣跟麵糊有點空間...

>>然後用手指在麵糊邊緣繞一圈
這句話不太懂耶

"We used to have a phrase for things gone missing: 'Gone to Pieland.' Once we had bought a pork pie, a very fine pie indeed, from some supriero delicatessen. We put it on the table to eat for supper, and when the moment came, the pie had disappeared. It has not been seen since.
Resolving itself back into its contigent ingredients, the pie seemed to have gone to a happier place. Perhaps to the 'Valley of Lost Things," once visited by the hero of Ariosto's mock-heroic epic, 'Orlando Furioso.' "

"The life of the present is full of such exasperations, riddled, too, with angst, alineation, fear of contemporary life. Fifty, even forty years ago, everything was so much better, wasn't it?"

- Iris  and  Her    Friends,  by John Bayley, 2000


"One of the truest pleasures of marriage is solitude."

"Solitude a deux, the inward self-isolation of a couple from anything outside their marriage. The solitude I have enjoyed in marriage, and, I think, Iris, too, is a little like having a walk by oneself and knowing that tomorrow, or soon, one willbe sharing it with the other, or, equally perhaps, again having it alone. It is also a solitude that precludes nothing outside the marriage, and sharpens the sense of possible intimacy with things or people in the outside world."

"Marry had a little bear
So loving and so kind
And everywhere that Mary went
You saw her bear behind."

"It is wonderfully peaceful to sit in bed with Iris reassuringly asleep and gently snoring. Half-asleep again myself, I have a feeling of floating down the river, and watching all the rubbish from the house and from our lives - the good as well as the bad - sinking slowly down through the dark water until is it lost in the depths. Iris is floating or swimmming quietly beside me. Weeds and larger leaves sway and stretch themselves beneath the surface. Blue dragonflies dart and dover to and fro by the riverbank. And suddenly, a kingfisher flashes past."

"So married life began. And the joys of solitude. No contradction was involved. The one went perfectly with the other. To feel oneself held and cherished and accompanied, and yet to be alone. To be closely and physically entwined, and yet feel solitude's friendly's presence, as warm and undesolating as contiguity itself."

"A snooze then. Iris will sleep deeply.  Later, we listen to carols and Christmas music. And I have the illusion, which fortunate Alzheimer's partners mueel at such times, that life is just the same, has never changed. I cannot imagine Iris any different. Her loss of memory becomes, in a sense, my own. In a muzzy way - the Bulgarian wine, no doubt - I find myself thinking of the christmas birth, and also of Wittgenstein's comment that death is not a human experience.  We are born to live only from day to day. ' Take short views of human life - never further than dinner or tea.'  The Reverend Sydney Smith's advice is most easily taken during these ritualised days. The ancient saving routine of Christmas, which for us today has been twice blessed."

- "Elegy for Iris,"  by John Bayley, 1997
