How to Carve Vegetables

Step 1

Purchase vegetable-shaping tools during Halloween, when commercial manufacturers make vegetable shaping tools for the purpose of carving jack-o'-lanterns. You can also purchase carving tools from an Asian food preparation and supply store such as templeofthai.com or fruitcarving.com.

Step 2

Select vegetables that are just barely under-ripe, which makes them firm enough for carving.

Step 3

Wash the vegetables if they are going to be eaten; also wash your hands, tools and cutting board.

Step 4

Plan your carving before you cut into your vegetable. Always work from a pattern the first time you shape a vegetable. Practice on several vegetables to perfect your technique before you make a presentation vegetable.

Step 5

Carve your vegetable using gentle strokes to avoid bruising the vegetable. You should carve your subject as quickly as possible to keep the carving fresh. Never care more of the vegetable than you have to; doing so removes nutrients as you remove the flesh of your vegetable.

Step 6

Cover the face of the carving with lemon juice. The vitamin C in lemon juice helps keep the exposed flesh of the carving fresh and prevents spoilage for longer periods of time.

Yotam Ottolenghi's cakes, cookies and tart recipes

A long time ago, when I was taking my first steps on the road to chefdom and devouring cookbooks like there was no tomorrow, I came across a charming little book on a charming little subject: Little Cafe Cakes, by Julie Le Clerc, featured miniature versions of cakes and other small sweet delights. The idea appealed to me for some reason. Why do the Japanese love bonsai? Why do some people collect model cars? Maybe they give us a sense of greatness, reducing an object that is usually too large to hold in one hand or, in the cake's case, swallow in a mouthful or two. Is it some kind of ego boost, or is it that small things are more aesthetically pleasing? The most convincing explanation to me is that mini versions mean you can have many more of them than you'd otherwise dream of.

Whatever the reason, as a now mature proprietor of a business that prides itself on its cakes, I can tell you that bonsai cakes and other one-to-three-bite items are taking over. Gone are the days when you went to a cake shop for a slice of this or a chunk of that. Today, everyone wants small, compact, cute: cupcakes, muffins, tartlets and cookies; truffles, bars, brittles and bites. These cutesie little sweets have obvious advantages and appeal. They're convenient both to sell and to carry (they're ideal for picnics), they look good, they don't dry out as a cake does when you cut off a slice, and they prove that you actually can have your cake and eat it – or at the very least another one just like it.

Iron Man 2

"Iron Man 2" took in $622 million, putting the film $37 million over the first Iron Man's earnings. Execs at Viacom studio Paramount are hoping "Iron Man 2"'s strong performance bodes well for a slew of other Marvel superhero movies it has lined up for the next few years, including "The Avengers" in 2012, which will feature Iron Man alongside the likes of Captain America and The Incredible Hulk.

Cinnamon Bread Spirals recipe

• 4 slices Nature’s Pride Country White bread

• 2 teaspoons light spreadable butter or margarine

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

                                  • 1 teaspoon milk

Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray four cups of a mini-muffin pan with nonstick spray coating.

Trim the crusts from the bread and flatten with a rolling pin. Spread one side of each slice with about ½ teaspoon butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar mixture over butter.

Cut each slice horizontally, into three long strips. Roll one strip into a spiral, similar to a cinnamon or jellyroll. Form the second around the first, and then add the third strip, forming one spiraled roll from each slice. Place each in a mini-muffin cup that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.



Bake 10 minutes or until lightly brown. Allow to cool 3 to 4 minutes.



Meanwhile, stir together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle glaze over each roll. Serve warm.

I love you I personally buried

I love you so I can hear the voice of the bones crack

Gushing blood gurgling sound

Gentle look at you slightly open lips and white teeth look lovely

I hate the world so I let you out of here

I like the time when the world I hate I did not leave with you >>>>>>>>>>>

fireworks easy to cold, touch of sadness that can not be touched.

Tell yourself, just stupid this time. Nothing more.

Try to adhere to, because you do not want to let go. Even if only a little gain, and kept, hoping to change.

Would like for you to write songs.

Look at the beating note. Original. Are for one person.

And hard about how I did not you Haohao Di?

You say the last ... ... you are sincere to say it? Then, to give up so easily?

be afraid.

Fear .

There is no fear of becoming self .

Afraid to follow blindly .

Afraid to be small and even humble .

Fear began to repeat the sad .

I must awake to find export .

Then go out free and easy .

Or is the letter as such , or the feeling

Then suffer.

I was afraid of endless tangle .

Fear no sort of clue .

Fear not the origin of emotions.

way out

Maybe the error bound

Perhaps doomed beyond redemption

But I do not want to surrender this

The arrogant servant to become a reality

Back and forth all the sadness

No one pity your loneliness

When the tears blindfolded

Finally understand the depth of loneliness

When all of China and the United States ended

I do not cry

This is just the way I chose

Although there is no way out

Finally, summer

Time as fleeting,
I am feeling it too late in the rapid,
Away from the fingertips.
When the excitement of vacation is not long,
In exchange for the nest day at home, afraid to go out of cowardice,
Do not know what the fear,
Have to admit, I am afraid of the face, do not know that you are afraid,
We do not want to do is often something we must do.
High school for three years, it has been two-thirds of the time I wasted,
Exam is over, the surface of the happy, I fear the extreme.
Go to school, did not go in, only by standing outside the door
Results did not see, I do not want to see disappointment,
I would like to have more hope,
Fortunately, good
In this last summer, how lucky I have you,
And they bring you along
How many times wary of struggling
Around in a circle, we came together
Do not know how I was feeling the chaos
Or happy, or pleased, or glad, or afraid
Finally remained calm,
Hard work paid nothing, have nothing to wait for long, so long as, when the shock Lan down, and all be able to do coming
Everything is so natural,
Even nature itself that the
Because of your concern, love
I do not feel in my heart that cold summer
Instead, it was very warm, there I want a simple,
Regain confidence, to regain courage and regain himself,
Am glad that you did, you do not know how happy I am, Oh
After what I do not know
But I know now, we are very happy,
Keep telling myself, can not be too greedy,
Contentment, the word rich with my love for you
Eileen Chang said, "like a person, we must humble to the dust"
Yes ah, so what kind of touching,
Honey, there is no good word
I just want to stop, as before, and every day surrounded by blues you
To be very happy, happiness is most important,
We said yes: always love,
That a good gig, not allowed to eat their words, many people testified, ha!
Sense of danger, I felt,
Stand at risk, no return
Only bold and forward, heads held high, gamble, and
Regardless of failure or success
All that we deserve, and will not blame anyone!
Next year's summer
We must say goodbye,
I believe tried, tried,
We will gain joy!
In this last summer.
Last year,
Indifferent words
Happiness is like,

Hours of Prayer
