Lady SnowGaga was there...

Yesterday I went to the cinema and I saw Sherlock Holmes... I must say that I had a very good time, it's a quite funny film, a little bit slow but good for a sunday evening!
We went near the Maremagnum mall, and I weared my new Topshop's coat... a big bargain, because it only costed me 15 € (and it was 110€!)

And you can see there too my new boots from Aces of London, I bought them at Berlin only for 49€... the were 119€!!

Yes, I'm the bargain girl!

I found this lovely announcement from Alice in Wonderland too...

So, how was your Sunday?

Oh, as you can see, now there's a lovely and funny picture from Laia and me at Berlin... if you click on it, you can go directly to Laia's blog!!

Happy Birthday, Rabbie Burns! : Food Tip of the Day - Monday, January 25th, 2010

Today's food tip of the day is very different in form from any that I have ever given before in the sense that it is not my tip but that of The Bard himself, Rabbie Burns!

The Selkirk Grace was not written by Rabbie Burns, merely adapted by him in his inimitable style from a much older version. It reads:

"Some hae meat and canna eat,
and some wad eat that want it,
but we hae meat and we can eat,
and sae the Lord be thankit."

Later on this evening, I will be including on this blog details of how I enjoyed my own Burns Supper, which I will begin preparing very shortly. In the meantime, why not take the fun Burns quiz, linked to below, in order to test your own knowledge of Rabbie Burns? There are only ten questions, each of them having five possible answers. Be sure to include in the Guestbook details of your score, then send it on to challenge your friends!

Baked Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

Baked Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

14 slices of Texas Toast, with the crusts removed, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup fresh or frozen (then thawed) blueberries, picked over and rinsed
12 larges eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 cups milk

For the sauce:
2 cups sugar
4 Tbsp cornstarch
2 cups water
2 cups fresh or frozen (then thawed) bluerries
Zest of 1 lemon (optional, it just makes the flavor pop a little more)
1 Tbsp unsalted butter

Cut the crusts off the bread, then cut into 1 inch cubes

Arrange half the bread in a buttered 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Scatter the cream cheese over the bread, and sprinkle the blueberries over the cream cheese.

Arrange the remaining bread pieces over the blueberries and cream cheese. In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, maple syrup and milk. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Bake the French Toast, covered with foil in the middle of a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until it is puffed and golden.

To make the sauce:

In a saucepan stir together the sugar, the cornstarch, and the water and cook the mixture over medium high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until it is thickened. Stir in the blueberries and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, or until the berries have burst. Add the lemon zest if you want it then add the butter and stir the sauce until the butter is melted. Served topped with freshly whipped whipping cream if desired.

Recipe was slightly adapted from a recipe from Emory Creek Victorian Bed and Breakfast.

Happy Anniversary!

Thirteen years ago today, Cory and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. I am so in love with this good man of mine. Together we have been through sicknesses, pregnancies, loss of loved ones, as well as laughter and fun memories. With Jason being only 1, we couldn't go and escape the world this year, so I tried to recreate the breakfast we had at the B&B we stayed at. Here is a recipe that is amazingly yummy! (The B&B we stayed at closed it's doors, so I couldn't get their exact recipe, but maybe that was a good thing, because this recipe for Baked Blueberry French Toast is even better!!) Cory said it was the best breakfast he has ever had!! See the recipe above and enjoy!
