Tengo varias recetas que voy cambiando y que hago cada tanto para tener siempre un par de frascos listos para usar. Es buena época para hacer conservas para todo el año porque hay duraznos, damascos, ciruelas y frutos rojos para aprovechar. Yo les recomiendo dedicarse una tarde y hacer varias diferentes para tener todo el año. Les cambian una pechuga de pollo grillada o cualquier carne con muy poco esfuerzo y duran mucho.&amp;#160; Les dejo las cinco recetas, para ver si se animan.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Chutney de damascos (Foto)      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Necesitan poner en una cacerola: 1 kg de cubos de damascos o duraznos (o mezclado), 1/2 kg de tomates perita bien maduros, 1 cebolla picada, 1 cucharadita de jengibre rallado, 1 cucharadita de canela, 1 cucharadita de nuez moscada, 1/2 cucharadita de pimienta, 1 cucharadita de cardamomo, 300 cc de vinagre de vino o de alcohol, 500 gramos de azúcar rubia, 150 gramos de pasas de uva.&amp;#160; Lo ponen a fuego bajito y lo cocinan por casi dos horas, hasta que tome punto mermelada. Se guarda en frascos esterilizados y se come con carnes rojas frías, pollo, pavita, y quesos, por supuesto.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&amp;#160; Salsa de arándanos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Esta me encanta para acompañar pavita, un solomillo de cerdo o carnes frías en ensalada. Muchas veces la uso junto con aceto para condimentar. También les sirve para dulces (un cheesecake, una torta de ricotta, un yogur natural). Para hacerla necesitan poner en el fuego 300 gramos de arándanos, 150 gramos de azúcar, cascaritas de limón, 100 cc de agua u oporto, si les gusta, una pizca de sal, 1 cda de jugo de limón. La cocinan a fuego lento hasta que quede como una mermelada más líquida y listo. No hay mucha ciencia.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Mermelada de cebollas coloradas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Aunque les suene raro, sí, mermelada de cebollas. Les juro que es riquísima. Ideal para acompañar cerdo, carnes blancas, pato, cordero, incluso medallones de lomo.&amp;#160; También la pueden usar para una entrada sobre tostaditas con queso azul o brie y queda muy rica. Tienen que saltear 1 kg de cebollas cortadas pluma con una pizca de sal hasta que estén bien claritas. En ese momento agregan 100 cc de vino blanco seco, 100 gramos de azucar, una ramita de tomillo y las siguen cocinando hasta que se caramelicen y parezca una mermelada.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Salsa de curry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mezclan medio pote de queso blanco, 1 cucharada soperas de curry suave, 1 cda sopera de semillas de sésamo tostado (me gusta usar negro, pero el que quieran). Les sirve para cualquier ensalada con arroz, para carnes frías, para sandwiches. En realidad, sólo arroz y esta salsa les juro que es una maravilla. Ideal para agregar en una mesa de ensaladas sin tener que trabajar mucho.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Chutney de peras y jengibre&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En este caso es mejor dejar pedazos de pera más grandes para comerlos así, porque es una receta mucho más simple. Tienen que poner en una cacerola medio kg de peras peladas en cubos grandes, 1 manzana rallada, 1 cda sopera de jengibre rallado fresco, 1/2 cdita de cardamomo, 1/2 cdita de canela, pimienta a gusto, 5 clavos de olor, 150 cc de vinagre de manzana, 150 gramos de azúcar común y 1/2 cdita al ras de sal. La cocción es igual al otro chutney, pero demora menos. Cuando el azucar haya caramelizado y parezca una mermelada, apagan y envasan. Queda genial con quesos (una tostadita, queso cammembert y chutney de peras), con aves y cerdo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Via:&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://www.planetajoy.com/wasabi/5-salsas-para-las-fiestas/" target="_blank"&gt;PlanetaJoy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;I’d use it on almost every cookie if I could (but I try to restrain myself), but when I found these sparkly LOVE stickers at Michael’s Craft Store I knew I had to make a sugar version of them.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;I ended up making simple royal icing decorations (also known as transfers, runouts or floodwork), instead of cookies, for these Valentine cupcakes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Make {Love} Sugar Decorations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I used my KopyKake projector to project the Love stickers so I could trace the image, but if you’ve got drawing talent you won’t need the projector.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; If you’d like to see a &lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2010/06/decorating-cookies-with-a-kopykake-projector/"&gt;KopyKake projector tutorial, click here.&lt;/a&gt; These shapes are so simple that you really don’t need the KopyKake though; you could just trace them!&amp;#160; I projected them because I was able to change the size and make them bigger that way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, let’s begin!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Cut the transparency (or parchment paper) out just larger than the size of the image you’re piping.&amp;#160; Lightly coat transparency, with a small amount of shortening using some paper towel.&amp;#160; This helps make the royal icing shape easier to remove when it’s dry.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/lightly-coat-transparency-with-shortening/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="lightly coat transparency with shortening" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/lightly-coat-transparency-with-shortening.jpg" width="457" height="305" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2.&amp;#160; Pipe royal icing outline&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Outline with royal icing" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Outline-with-royal-icing-.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3.&amp;#160; Flood or fill in your outline&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/fill-in-outline-royal-icing-transfer/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;4.&amp;#160; Gently shake the transparency left to right to help the icing smooth over.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/smooth-icing-over-royal-icing-decoration/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;5. Shake disco dust onto your wet icing&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/shake-disco-dust-onto-wet-icing/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;6.&amp;#160; Pick transparency up and pour excess disco dust back into container.&amp;#160; Some disco dust sticks to the shortening but you can probably do a better job than me if you’re not rushing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/pour-excess-disco-dust-into-container/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;7.&amp;#160; Make extras of your shapes as royal icing transfers can break easily, especially if they’re a delicate design.&amp;#160; These ones weren’t too breakable as they were a bit larger.&amp;#160; (I think I’d make them smaller next time though; they’re a bit too big for the cupcakes now that I see them on top).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/make-more-than-one-r-i-transfer/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;It may look like it took a long time to make the “LOVE letters’ with all the pics, but they’re actually quite quick and easy to make.&amp;#160; Once I made and colored the royal icing, creating (doubles of) these took about 10 minutes.&amp;#160; Then it was just a matter of letting them dry for 24 hours and making the icing and cupcakes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Here’s a slideshow of the whole icing decoration process if you’d prefer to see it that way:&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;h4&gt;Posted on January 30th, 2011 in &lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/category/cupcakes/"&gt;Cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/category/tutorials/"&gt;Tutorials&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="cupcake tier for valentines day" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/cupcake-tier-for-valentines-day.jpg" width="457" height="742" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I had lots of leftover royal icing from my &lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/"&gt;last Valentine’s cupcakes&lt;/a&gt;, so I decided to make some more royal icing decorations using these &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031Q7I82?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=sweetopia-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0031Q7I82"&gt;Martha Stewart Valentine stickers&lt;/a&gt; as my design.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="valentine cupcakes" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/valentine-cupcakes.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As I was making these I recieved an email from Bianca, asking me how long I keep the royal icing in the piping bag and how long I keep it in storage.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="classic valentine heart cupcake topper" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/classic-valentine-heart-cupcake-topper.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;She’s one of many who’ve asked, so I thought I’d share the info. here.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;So how long can one keep royal icing?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="light brown cupcake topper chocolate" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/light-brown-cupcake-topper-chocolate.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Royal Icing:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Before I answer that question, a little about royal icing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Royal icing is made using either raw egg-whites (traditional), or using dried egg whites &lt;em&gt;or &lt;/em&gt;meringue powder.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Although I have not heard of any documented cases of food-borne illness occurring due to eating traditional royal icing (made with egg whites), there is still a possibility that bacteria such as salmonella can be present in anything made with raw eggs.&amp;#160; Although many would not be affected by the bacteria, the very young, elderly, pregnant women and those with weaker immune systems might be.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You could use pasteurized egg whites found in cartons at the grocery store, but I’ve found that the icing doesn’t whip up as nicely using them.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="quick valentine cucpakes" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/quick-valentine-cucpakes.jpg" width="457" height="711" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Safest and most effective for cookie decorating in my experience has been &lt;a href="httphttp://sweetopia.net/2009/05/tea-party-cookies/://"&gt;royal icing made with meringue powder&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; &lt;em&gt;I’ll be referring to royal icing made with meringue powder from here on in.&lt;/em&gt; All of the following information also applies to both tinted &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; white icing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Meringue Powder?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*Meringue powder is a fine, white powder made with pasteurized dried egg whites, sugar and gum; used to replace fresh egg whites when making icings and meringues. (*&lt;em&gt;The Prentice Hall Essentials Dictionary of Culinary Arts&lt;/em&gt;, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2008).&amp;#160; It usually includes vanilla flavouring and is not usually sold in grocery stores but can be found in bulk food stores, baking supply stores or on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="valentines day cupcakes" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/valentines-day-cupcakes.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So now that that’s covered:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long can one keep royal icing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Freshest is always best of course, but you can keep your icing for a week or even up to two.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The longer it sits though, the more time it has to separate.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The water and icing sugar separate; after about a week you’ll have to really mix it up again to use it, and it may be difficult to make sure it’s perfectly smooth.&amp;#160; -The liquid pools a bit on the surface, leaving the bottom of the container with dry icing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you do end up keeping your icing for a few days or more, I’d recommend putting it back in your mixer quickly before you use it, to try and ensure all ‘lumps’ are out.&amp;#160; You may also have to add icing sugar to help thicken it, or a little bit of water to thin it out.&amp;#160; Whether or not you’ll have to add icing sugar or water depends on a few factors:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adding icing sugar&lt;/em&gt; – Especially if you’re in a humid environment the icing may have absorbed humidity in the air.&amp;#160; (Even if it’s in an air-tight container).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adding water&lt;/em&gt; – Mixing the icing really well (especially with a mixer), tends to add volume/air, and thickens it up a bit.&amp;#160; It is necessary to mix it really well to get the lumps out though.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="easy valentine cupcake toppers" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/easy-valentine-cupcake-toppers1.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So how long can one keep royal icing in the (piping) bag?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The icing sugar (powdered sugar), and water in the icing begin to separate over time, so if you haven’t used your piping bags for a few hours, you’ll start to see this happen.&amp;#160; How fast it separates depends on how runny your icing is.&amp;#160; The runnier it is, the faster it will separate.&amp;#160; See pic below for example.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="water and icing sugar begin to separate over time in royal icing" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/water-and-icing-sugar-begin-to-separate-over-time-in-royal-icing.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You can try and knead the bag a little bit to help the icing combine together again, but it won’t be as effective as taking the icing out of the bag and re-mixing it with a spoon or spatula etc.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you use the icing that has been sitting in your piping bag for a period of time, you’ll end up with icing that comes out in little pools of water and icing sugar. (See pic below).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="runny royal icing" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/runny-royal-icing.jpg" width="457" height="652" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where do you store royal icing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Icing made with raw egg whites needs to be kept in the fridge, however, icing made with meringue powder can be kept at room temperature.&amp;#160; I store mine in air-tight or re-usable yoghurt containers. (Pic below; the dollop of icing on top makes it easy for me to see what color is inside).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="royal-icing-in-old-yogurt-containers" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/royal-icing-in-old-yogurt-containers1.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;To ensure against any crusting, place saran wrap (plastic wrap), on the surface of the icing as well.&amp;#160; If some of it has crusted over (if you’ve forgotten to put the lid on the container for example), scoop those bits out; they can’t be used.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="valentine cupcakes covered in sanding sugar and cupcake topper" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/valentine-cupcakes-covered-in-sanding-sugar-and-cupcake-topper.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;How long do royal icing decorations last?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Once the royal icing has dried, the decorations last indefinitley!&amp;#160; (forever lol).&amp;#160; They don’t spoil but must be stored in a cool, dry place, in an air-tight container.&amp;#160; Besides humidity, the only thing to watch out for is breakage.&amp;#160; They are fragile and should be stored between parchment paper and bubble wrap inside the air-tight container.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Grease from buttercream, for example, can also affect royal icing over time, but it will take quite a while for the icing to absorb the grease.&amp;#160; After I posted these royal icing {LOVE} decorations (below), there were a few questions about grease affecting the royal icing in the comment section.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Love letters on cupcakes" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Love-letters-on-cupcakes1.jpg" width="457" height="286" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Since I’m going to be keeping these cupcakes in a display case at school to show students an example of what they will be learning how to make when the new semester begins in a few weeks, I’ll be able to keep tabs on the progress.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So far I’ve had the royal icing toppers in a cupcake for 2 days and there’s no dissolving, but the grease has seeped into the icing.&amp;#160; See pic below with today’s date on the phone.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="back of royal icing transfer" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/back-of-royal-icing-transfer.jpg" width="457" height="612" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In this case you could only see the discoloration on the back as the front was covered in disco dust.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It’s definitely best not to place your royal icing decorations on your cake, cupcakes etc. too far in advance before you’re serving them.&amp;#160; The grease seeped into these royal icing between 24 – 48 hours of being put on the cupcakes.&amp;#160; Smaller royal icing decorations would probably be affected sooner, especially if the entire surface area is resting on the buttercream.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="valentine cupcake toppers" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/valentine-cupcake-toppers1.jpg" width="457" height="685" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;What does royal icing taste like?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Royal icing decorations are edible of course; it’s really just sugar and meringue powder.&amp;#160; It’s delicious if you like the taste of pure icing sugar (lol), but in my humble opinion, pairs nicely with cookies especially.&amp;#160; It dries fairly hard, but when you bite into it the sensation is kind of like a soft, crunchy texture.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For a brief visual how-to on making these Valentine cupcake toppers, see below.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; A more detailed version on making royal icing decorations (also known as transfers, floodwork, runouts etc.), &lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/valentines-love-cupcakes/"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;*&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;How to make these Valentine royal icing decorations:&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;1. Pipe base colors with royal icing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="1" alt="" src="http://sweetopia.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/1.jpg" width="457" height="365" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2.&amp;#160; Add icing details once the first layer has dried.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto;

Using a paintbrush (used only for decorating purposes), brush excess disco dust off.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none;

 &lt;h5&gt;Making the cupcakes:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’m grateful to Melissa of &lt;a href="http://mycakeschool.com/"&gt;MyCakeSchool.com&lt;/a&gt; for some cool cupcake tips I learned and used after watching some of her videos (Re: paper towel tip – who knew!).&amp;#160; She’s got a ton of great advice on decorating.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://mycakeschool.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;I wish I had watched one of the videos before I made my royal icing hearts!&amp;#160; It mentioned making the tail of your hearts longer, so that when you stick it in the cupcake, you can still see the whole heart.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sweetopia.net/2011/01/how-do-you-store-royal-icing-and-how-long-can-you-keep-it/valentine-heart-cupcake-3/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;Today I’m going to share some cute designs for Valentine’s Cupcakes!&amp;#160; One of my favorites is this easy method for fondant cupcake toppers….&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0450" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0450.jpg" width="640" height="518" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0461" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0461.jpg" width="640" height="457" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; I love a nice swirl of buttercream on cupcakes…but every now and then I like to make them nice and smooooth.&amp;#160; Especially if I’m going to be writing on top of them.&amp;#160; Remember…this only works with crusting buttercreams…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0467" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0467.jpg" width="640" height="458" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; Here’s the same method of smoothing….only this time, I layered two colors of buttercream.&amp;#160; I piped on my color with a Wilton tip 12.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2011-01-22.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="2011-01-22" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2011-01-22.jpg" width="640" height="495" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; I LOVE sprinkles!!! I use these heart sprinkles on designs year round.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0484" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0484.jpg" width="640" height="456" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; For the icing lovers out there…&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0493" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0493.jpg" width="640" height="457" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; And finally, I piped some chocolate decorations.&amp;#160; You can use any brand of candy melts or candy coating/chocolate bark.&amp;#160; Simply pipe and pop in the freezer for a few minutes to speed-set&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0494" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0494.jpg" width="640" height="457" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; Here’s the group picture!&amp;#160; I snuck in a few other designs too.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; :0)&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; The pink rose swirl is made with a tip 2D, and the heart within a heart topper was also made with the “puzzle technique” mentioned above. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0504" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_0504.jpg" width="640" height="457" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I had the best time today working on this Valentine’s Day cake—&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The idea is really very simple….&amp;#160; I started with a “plain jane” cake…just a 6″ round frosted in vanilla buttercream with a ball border (tip 12).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The fun part came when it was time to melt the chocolate!&amp;#160; I used chocolate candy coating for this project .&amp;#160; Here’s a picture of my melted red candy melts, bright white merckens candy coating, and some chocolate “bark” coating.&amp;#160; Any variety of candy coating or melts would work with this cake.&amp;#160; This is just what I had on hand.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Just one little tip— normally white candy coating is not this bright.&amp;#160; So, if yours has more of an off-white appearance, it wouldn’t look as nice against a bright white frosting.&amp;#160; It would look much better against a chocolate frosting or tinted frosting.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0793" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_07931.jpg" width="640" height="427" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Next, I spooned my melted chocolate into piping bags fitted with a tip 3.&amp;#160; You could also just snip the end off of your parchment cones, but I feel like I have more control when using a piping tip.&amp;#160; I piped many, many hearts with “stems” onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0800" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_0800.jpg" width="640" height="427" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I kept my bowls of melted chocolate in a warming drawer so that they wouldn’t set before I had a chance to use them.&amp;#160; You could also just melt one bowl at a time as needed.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You can put your cookie sheets (chocolate hearts and all) into a freezer for a few minutes to set.&amp;#160; After doing this, I decided it would be fun to fill some of my open hearts with contrasting colors of chocolate.&amp;#160; Then a put in the freezer for a few more minutes until they had set.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0815" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_0815.jpg" width="640" height="513" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After the hearts have set….the fun begins!&amp;#160; I let the other hearts continue to chill as I pulled out a few at a time to place onto the cake.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;More hearts, please….&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_0828" alt="" src="http://www.mycakeschool.com/member/videos/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/IMG_0828.jpg" width="569" height="640" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Can you ever have too many hearts on a cake?&amp;#160; I don’t think so……&amp;#160; :0)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;Hooray!&amp;#160; It’s a heart explosion!&amp;#160; This cake makes me smile.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p&gt;I love baking with my kids.   &lt;br /&gt;I especially love baking with my kids when its food that I will &lt;em&gt;actually&lt;/em&gt; let them eat.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8656b87970c-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9125.stamp" alt="IMG_9125.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8656b87970c-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Now, brownies and cream cheese aren't exactly the ideal foods for little growing bodies, but I do love that they can eat massive amounts of strawberries!    &lt;br /&gt;And this Brownie Dessert Pizza is &lt;em&gt;so&lt;/em&gt; easy to make! (I adapted a recipe from &lt;a href="http://blog.simplyhealthycooking.com/2010/06/11/brownie-dessert-pizza/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c6bc9970b-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9087.stamp" alt="IMG_9087.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c6bc9970b-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I simply made my favorite brownies in a flat sheet pan. Katie from &lt;a href="http://www.goodlifeeats.com/"&gt;goodlifeeats.com&lt;/a&gt; has &lt;a href="http://www.goodlifeeats.com/2010/12/recipe-exchange-simplest-homemade-brownies.html"&gt;this fantatic recipe&lt;/a&gt; that is a&lt;strong&gt;must try&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;#160; I don't know about you but I &lt;em&gt;adore&lt;/em&gt; fudgey brownies!    &lt;br /&gt;Using cookie cutters, cut out various sizes of hearts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8656f9d970c-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9105.stamp" alt="IMG_9105.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8656f9d970c-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I then grabbed a container of big, luscious, juicy red strawberries and cut them into heart shapes.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;Next I made a cream cheese spread.    &lt;br /&gt;1 8oz package of cream cheese    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup powder sugar    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp clear vanilla extract    &lt;br /&gt;Blend all ingredients well.    &lt;br /&gt;(You have no idea how hard it was to add ONLY 1/2 cup powder sugar.&amp;#160; My &lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2010/07/zucchini-cupcakes-and-the-best-cream-cheese-frosting.html"&gt;favorite cream cheese&lt;/a&gt; ever has FOUR cups!&amp;#160; But the above recipe definitely works with the rich brownies and naturally sweet berries)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c6f4d970b-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9120.collage" alt="IMG_9120.collage" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c6f4d970b-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Simply spread the cream cheese over the brownie getting as close to the edges as you want.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;I read on other recipes that you are to only go to within 1/2 inch of the edge, but to that I say hoo-ey.&amp;#160; Spill it over the edge if you want!    &lt;br /&gt;Next I added some of my sliced &amp;quot;heart&amp;quot; strawberries.    &lt;br /&gt;This is where you can get creative!&amp;#160; Make fun designs, add more fruit, drizzle with melted chocolate or pink candy heart sprinkles.&amp;#160; The sky is the limit!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(I personally love the LOOK of sprinkles, but cant stand eating them.&amp;#160; I realize I probably just offended the world with that admission.&amp;#160; You may dislike me for the next 7 minutes.&amp;#160; But then lets be friends again ok???)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8657dcb970c-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9136.stamp" alt="IMG_9136.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8657dcb970c-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;If you want everything to set all pretty for a nice romatic Valentines dessert you can throw this in the fridge for a bit.    &lt;br /&gt;If you have no self control whats-so-ever you can just take a bite right here and now.    &lt;br /&gt;If you remembered that you were actually going to share with the kids, it might be good to go help them with their assembly.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8658264970c-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9154.stamp" alt="IMG_9154.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c8658264970c-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I just gave each kid a brownie pre-frosted. I also gave them a mini brownie treat so they knew what they were making.&amp;#160; Once they tasted the deliciousness they were SO excited to assemble their own!    &lt;br /&gt;Hint: Have extra strawberries on hand.&amp;#160; My kids kept asking if they could just eat the strawberries and I kept saying, &amp;quot;YES!!&amp;quot; eat as many as you want! &lt;em&gt;(in my head thinking, yay!&amp;#160; Please get full on the one healthy part of this treat!&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c8349970b-popup"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_9192.stamp" alt="IMG_9192.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e25c8349970b-500wi" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My oldest loved to pile the strawberries high.    &lt;br /&gt;Overall, this is such a fun and easy treat for mom &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; kids!    &lt;br /&gt;(If you want to make things even easier on yourself, make the brownies the day before, cut out your shapes and refrigerate them.&amp;#160; For &lt;em&gt;extra&lt;/em&gt; motivated moms, make it weeks before and freeze the brownies!)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Via: &lt;a href="http://manda2177.livejournal.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Amanda Bakes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;amp;&amp;#160; &lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/" target="_blank"&gt;I am Baker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:c306b8e2-ac39-4b6a-867c-7fb79fc98a8d" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;UNYKA Etiquetas de : &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/san+valentin" rel="tag"&gt;san valentin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/valentines" rel="tag"&gt;valentines&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/valentine's" rel="tag"&gt;valentine's&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/d%c3%ada+de+los+enamorados" rel="tag"&gt;d&amp;#237;a de los enamorados&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8423941906853152025-4124392109855100769?l=unykacocina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~4/IqfFwADD7OY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://unykacocina.blogspot.com/2011/02/valentine-brownie-dessert-pizza.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Vasitos de Frambuesa</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~3/kx7IVZSk5WM/vasitos-de-framvuesa.html</link><category>Reuniones</category><category>Facil+Rapido</category><category>Dulce</category><category>Básicos</category><category>love</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (UNYKA)</author><pubDate>Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:59:48 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423941906853152025.post-6291670058067263007</guid><description>&lt;h5&gt;&lt;b&gt;Una manera de aprovechar los recortes del bizcocho y demás ingredientes que nos han sobrado de la realización&lt;a href="http://bocadosdulcesysalados.blogspot.com/2011/01/brazo-de-gitano-de-chocolate.html"&gt; del brazo de gitano de chocolate&lt;/a&gt;.

 &lt;h5 align="justify"&gt;By Rachel on &lt;a href="http://mothersrecipemementos.blogspot.com/2011/01/coconut-macaroons-with-chocolate.html"&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;Sunday, January 09, 2011&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;I had a whole bag of coconut flakes in my fridge and figured I should do something with them.   &lt;br /&gt;So I made these:﻿﻿﻿&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;﻿&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TSp3ksCkqDI/AAAAAAAA6I0/DpMlUUUeH8Y/s1600/coconutmacaroon2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TSp3ksCkqDI/AAAAAAAA6I0/DpMlUUUeH8Y/s640/coconutmacaroon2.jpg" width="540" height="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;{ coconut macaroons drizzled in chocolate }&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;﻿&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Now I'm not normally a huge coconut macaroon fan.&amp;#160; I don't drool at the sight of them or ever have a craving.&amp;#160; But since I had all the ingredients and it seemed easy enough to make, I figured I'd give it a try.   &lt;br /&gt;I found a recipe in my Taste of Home cookbook that called for coconut flakes, egg whites. vanilla extract, sugar, and flour.&amp;#160; It seemed way too easy to be true.&amp;#160; Well, it was.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;Now I feel it's important to be open and honest, even in this venture of learning to bake and cook.&amp;#160; So here's the skinny on my first attempt at coconut macaroons:&amp;#160; I misread the amount of sugar (added 2/3 cup instead of 1/3), forgot to whip the egg white, skimped on the coconut flakes, and added more flour than called for (basically I didn't listen to instructions).&amp;#160; What I got was this:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;﻿&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TSoN3zg9-mI/AAAAAAAA6H0/amt9cKrnZv4/s1600/coconutsaucers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

 &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;{ coconut UFOs? }&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Coconut saucers, anyone?&amp;#160; If these look appealing to you, I can give you the recipe.&amp;#160; Ugh.&amp;#160; My poor husband.&amp;#160; He hates to let anything go to waste, so he ended up eating all of these.&amp;#160; Crazy thing is he actually enjoyed them.&amp;#160; Glad someone did.   &lt;br /&gt;I had to redeem myself, so I tried making another batch using a different recipe which called for sweetened condensed milk and the end result was so much better!&amp;#160; They actually looked and tasted like macaroons!&amp;#160; YAY!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TSp3_wXF3xI/AAAAAAAA6I8/2F_ZjC5BiCQ/s1600/coconutmacaroon3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto;

 &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Here's the recipe I used &lt;a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/coconut-macaroons-recipe3/index.html"&gt;from Ina Garten&lt;/a&gt; (you can't go wrong with Barefoot Contessa).&amp;#160;&amp;#160; The only variations I made were adding 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, using regular salt instead of kosher, and adding the chocolate drizzle.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3 align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate Drizzle:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;14 ounces sweetened condensed milk&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;1/2 teaspoon almond extract&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;2 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;1/4 teaspoon salt&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzle)&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.&amp;#160; Line baking sheet with parchment paper and dust with flour (this will help the cookies from sticking).&amp;#160; Use the upper level of the oven to help toast the coconut while baking.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl.&amp;#160; Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or 2 teaspoons.&amp;#160; Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.&amp;#160; Remove and cool on wire rack.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;For the chocolate drizzle, pour 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl.&amp;#160; Microwave on high for 1 minute or until chocolate is smooth enough to stir.&amp;#160; Then drizzle on top of coconut macaroons.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 5px 20px 0px;

 &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TOCcxtRKlwI/AAAAAAAA4Jg/2o07-k6KqnI/s640/cupcake2.jpg" width="500" height="320" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"&gt;{ pumpkin cupcakes for a baby shower }&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;﻿I am always on the lookout for ideas on how to decorate cupcakes beautifully.&amp;#160; I love the idea of cupcake flags and decided to try my hand at making my own.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; It's actually quite simple and such an easy way to add a decorative touch to any festivity.    &lt;br /&gt;Here's a list of the supplies needed to make 20 flags (available at any craft store like Michael's or AC Moore):&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 30px 10px 0px; display: inline" border="0" align="left" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9h07P4cRI/AAAAAAAA4H8/qJfnnXvro-k/s320/supplies.jpg" width="320" height="290" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cardstock paper - 3 sheets &lt;/strong&gt;($14.99 for a pad of 50 sheets - used 50% off Michaels coupon so got a great deal - or you can purchase sheets individually ranging from $0.49-$0.99/page) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decorative stickers - 2 packs&lt;/strong&gt; ($1.99/each) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4&amp;quot; Lollipop sticks - 20&lt;/strong&gt; ($2.00 for 50 sticks) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decorative paper punch&lt;/strong&gt; (retails at $14.99 but used coupon, so again, another great deal) &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glue stick&lt;/strong&gt; ($0.49) &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 20px 20px 0px; display: inline" border="0" align="left" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN76U5mvJfI/AAAAAAAA4Ho/6A4hfyGd_s0/s320/papercutter.jpg" width="320" height="259" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(1)&lt;/strong&gt; To get started, use the paper punch to punch out shapes in the cardstock paper (I used a 2&amp;quot; scalloped circle paper punch to make flowers).&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You'll need two pieces of paper punch for each flag so punch out 40 flowers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9iRuR0J3I/AAAAAAAA4IE/kCEsgC3jPPw/s1600/gluestick.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 25px 20px 0px; display: inline" border="0" align="left" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9iRuR0J3I/AAAAAAAA4IE/kCEsgC3jPPw/s320/gluestick.jpg" width="320" height="263" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(2)&lt;/strong&gt; Now take the glue stick and glue the back sides of the flower shapes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9ifm7kMpI/AAAAAAAA4IM/1cpNiwGlstA/s1600/lollipopstick.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 25px 20px 0px; display: inline" border="0" align="left" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9ifm7kMpI/AAAAAAAA4IM/1cpNiwGlstA/s320/lollipopstick.jpg" width="320" height="258" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(3)&lt;/strong&gt; Then take a lollipop stick and press it down onto one of the glued sides.&amp;#160; If you want taller flags, then just place the stick lower on the paper.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9jMcWymCI/AAAAAAAA4I8/2yTeB2T2oeU/s1600/stickwithfinger.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 30px 20px 25px; display: inline" border="0" align="right" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9jMcWymCI/AAAAAAAA4I8/2yTeB2T2oeU/s320/stickwithfinger.jpg" width="287" height="320" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(4)&lt;/strong&gt; Put the second flower shape on top and then press down on all the sides.&amp;#160; Make sure the stick is secure and in place.&amp;#160; There may be a slight opening on the top, but don't worry about that.&amp;#160; I intentionally left the top unsealed (believe me, no one's going to notice or make a big deal if they do).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9i8xmpL3I/AAAAAAAA4I0/t6g-O3Qn3qY/s1600/sticker.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 25px 20px 0px; display: inline" border="0" align="left" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9i8xmpL3I/AAAAAAAA4I0/t6g-O3Qn3qY/s320/sticker.jpg" width="320" height="215" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(5)&lt;/strong&gt; Finally, we come to the fun part!&amp;#160; Decorate the flags with stickers!﻿&amp;#160;&amp;#160; I only decorated one side, but if you really want to go all out, you can decorate both.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 20px 20px 20px 0px" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9ipzc_2MI/AAAAAAAA4Ic/wbse2YyjT4E/s320/foursticks.jpg" width="240" height="217" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And voila!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9jbbSQ9NI/AAAAAAAA4JE/H2-Wsqb5x9w/s1600/cupcakesticks.jpg"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XyunG66FDno/TN9jbbSQ9NI/AAAAAAAA4JE/H2-Wsqb5x9w/s320/cupcakesticks.jpg" width="320" height="246" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Before you know it, you've got a whole set of adorable, unique cupcake flags!&amp;#160; This is a great project to do with the kids, so let them in on the fun!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the next post, I'll share the recipe for the pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting featured at the top.&lt;/p&gt;

Estamos hablando del &lt;strong&gt;cilantro&lt;/strong&gt;, también llamado &lt;em&gt;culantro, cilandro o coriandro&lt;/em&gt;. Además, a diferencia de otras hierbas que usamos como condimento en nuestras recetas, en el caso del&lt;strong&gt;cilantro, su utilización en la cocina &lt;/strong&gt;se extiende a todas sus partes, pues son aprovechables, tanto las hojas, como los tallos, las semillas y los frutos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;El nombre genérico, &lt;em&gt;Coriandro Sativa&lt;/em&gt;, viene del griego &lt;em&gt;Korios&lt;/em&gt; que significa chinche, aludiendo al desagradable olor de los frutos de esta planta mientras están verdes. Su utilización es mucho más &lt;strong&gt;frecuente en la cocina asiática, caribeña y europea&lt;/strong&gt;, que en nuestra cocina española, exceptuando la &lt;strong&gt;Comunidad Canaria&lt;/strong&gt;, donde su uso también está muy extendido.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Usos del cilantro en Latinoamérica&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En &lt;strong&gt;la cocina latinoamericana&lt;/strong&gt;, es prácticamente inconcebible cocinar sin el cilantro, ya que aparece utilizado tanto en seco como en fresco, entre los ingredientes de todas las recetas de salsas, moles, guisos de pollo, sopas, frijoles, guacamoles, etc. Se utiliza especialmente en &lt;strong&gt;Perú, Venezuela, Cuba y México&lt;/strong&gt;, que son los países de esta zona en cuya gastronomía, está más implantado el uso de las hojas, tallos y raíces de esta hierba.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Entre los platos que incluyen cilantro, los más destacables son el &lt;em&gt;guacamole &lt;/em&gt;mexicano, el &lt;em&gt;arroz con pollo &lt;/em&gt;de Perú, los &lt;em&gt;frijoles negros &lt;/em&gt;cubanos, y el &lt;em&gt;hogao &lt;/em&gt;colombiano.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="cilantro-seed.jpg" src="http://img.directoalpaladar.com/2011/01/cilantro-seed.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Usos del cilantro en Asia&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En &lt;strong&gt;la cocina oriental&lt;/strong&gt;, en especial en la cocina de &lt;strong&gt;China &lt;/strong&gt;y en la de &lt;strong&gt;Tailandia, Vietnam y la India&lt;/strong&gt;, se utiliza el cilantro como ingrediente de muchas mezclas de especias o &lt;em&gt;massalas&lt;/em&gt;, esenciales para preparar curries, y otros platos. En estas zonas, se usan tanto las hojas del cilantro, como las raíces y tallos como condimento, como las semillas de cilantro molida, aportando su picante y especiado sabor.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Entre los platos más apetecibles con cilantro de la cocina oriental asiática, destacan los &lt;em&gt;curries y los chutneys&lt;/em&gt;, en los que es imprescindible el uso de esta especia.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Usos del cilantro en Europa&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;En otros países de Europa&lt;/strong&gt;, también se utiliza el cilantro con más frecuencia que en nuestro país. Así, en muchas de las recetas en las que nosotros usamos las hojas de perejil, nuestros vecinos portugueses, utilizan el cilantro, consiguiendo otros matices y aromas. Así mismo, usan las hojas de cilantro picadas en ensaladas, &lt;em&gt;platos al ajillo y salsas&lt;/em&gt;, aportando el sabor intenso y los aromas de esta hierba a sus preparaciones.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En la cocina de centroeuropa, es frecuente el uso del cilantro, combinado con otras aromáticas, para la fabricación de &lt;em&gt;embutidos, panes de centeno&lt;/em&gt;, e incluso puede ser un ingrediente usado en la&lt;em&gt;fabricación de cerveza&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Y sin ir más lejos, en las &lt;strong&gt;Islas Canarias&lt;/strong&gt;, es imprescindible el cilantro para preparar el &lt;em&gt;mojo verde&lt;/em&gt;, que junto al mojo rojo, o mojo picón, alegra las deliciosas papas arrugadas o esta &lt;a href="http://www.directoalpaladar.com/recetas-de-aperitivos/cocina-canaria-queso-al-horno-con-mojo-picon-y-mojo-verde"&gt;receta de queso al horno&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;El cilantro en nuestra cocina&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En todo caso, esta hierba, que antes era incluso difícil de encontrar en los mercados de nuestro país, ahora se ve con mucha más frecuencia y a mucho mejor precio, animada por su introducción en nuestra gastronomía, de la mano de los inmigrantes, que nos han traído sus costumbres gastronómicas y sus ingredientes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Personalmente, a mí cada vez me gusta más&lt;strong&gt; la utilización del cilantro en la cocina&lt;/strong&gt;, en especial en salsas (la semilla en polvo) y en ensaladas y guisos (las hojas). Además, su cultivo es relativamente sencillo, por lo que, al igual que sucede con el perejil, resulta práctico tener un tiesto con unas matitas de esta hierba, que aportará a nuestros platos su agradable sabor.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Foto | &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spilt-milk/554209128/"&gt;Yoppi&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;En Directo al Paladar | &lt;a href="http://www.directoalpaladar.com/recetario/cocina-canaria-mojo-verde-de-cilantro-receta"&gt;Mojo verde de cilantro.

El caso es que hoy os ataco con una &lt;strong&gt;nueva receta de espaguetis, esta vez con mascarpone y jamón&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Y es que las recetas de pasta son como las &lt;a href="http://www.directoalpaladar.com/tag/recetas-de-pizza"&gt;recetas de pizza&lt;/a&gt;, de verdad. Me refiero a que con poca cosa se consiguen platos extraordinarios y que gustan a (casi) todo el mundo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Ingredientes para 4 personas:&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;350 g de espaguetis, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;80 g de mascarpone, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;50 g de parmesano, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;100 g de jamón york, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;2 yemas de huevo &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;y sal.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cómo hacer espaguetis con mascarpone y jamón&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ponemos a cocer los &lt;strong&gt;espaguetis &lt;/strong&gt;en agua hirviendo con sal y los dejaremos el tiempo que indique el fabricante.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A parte en un bol mezclamos el &lt;strong&gt;mascarpone&lt;/strong&gt;, el jamón, el queso rallado y las dos yemas de huevo.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cuando queden un par de minutos a la pasta sacamos un poco (dos o tres cucharadas( del agua y mezclamos en el bol.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Al final sacamos los &lt;strong&gt;espaguetis&lt;/strong&gt; y una vez escurridos lo mezclamos con el mascarpone.

Y una de ellas es la de comer ñoquis los días 29 de cada mes (menos si hace mal tiempo), esto no es exclusivo de allí, por cierto.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Soy incapaz de decir porque se comen en este día en concreto, buscando por internet te encuentras mil y una historias, algunas tan increíbles (por poco creíbles) como que se comían ya en el siglo VIII en Nicosia (aunque tenía entendido que las patatas se trajeron de América unos cuantos siglos después). Para que veáis lo que hay que fiarse de la información de internet… El caso es que es una receta algo laboriosa pero que seguro repetiréis y repetiréis.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Ingredientes para 4 personas:&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;1 kg de patatas, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;200 g de harina, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1 huevo, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;sal, &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;queso parmesano &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;y aceite de oliva virgen extra.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cómo hacer ñoquis de patata&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Primero pelamos y lavamos las patatas. Las cocemos en agua hirviendo hasta que estén bien cocidas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Las escurrimos y pasamos por un pasapurés en caliente. Añadimos un poco de sal y el huevo y mezclamos. Añadimos poco a poco la harina hasta que se puede amasar con las manos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Ñoquis de patata. Pasos" src="http://img.directoalpaladar.com/2010/10/noquis_patata_pasos.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En todo momento trabajaremos con la mesa enharinada. Pero controlando bien la cantidad de harina. Lo de la receta es un promedio. A lo mejor necesita algo más o algo menos (depende de las patatas, del harina, del tamaño del huevo, etc). La masa debe resultar blanda, pero fácil de trabajar, que no se pegue en la medida de lo posible.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cortamos la mesa en porciones y hacemos canutillos de un grosor de unos 1,5 cm. Cortamos porciones de 1 cm o 1,5 cm y las pasamos por un tenedor presionando para hacer un hueco por un lado y por otro lado un dibujo de estrias.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Ñoquis de patata. Pasos" src="http://img.directoalpaladar.com/2010/10/noquis_patata_pasos2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cocemos en agua hirviendo con sal. Los echaremos en el agua y cuando suban arriba los vamos sacando, esto serán unos dos minutos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Servimos calientes con la salsa que queramos o bien con un poco de aceite y parmesano en lascas o rallado.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Tiempo de elaboración | 1 hora   &lt;br /&gt;Dificultad | Media&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Degustación&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Lo primero que hay que decir es que existen diferentes &lt;strong&gt;recetas&lt;/strong&gt; para preparar los&lt;strong&gt; ñoquis de patata&lt;/strong&gt;. Más o menos todas son iguales, se diferencia por un lado en como cocinan la patata, algunas las hacen al vapor, otras al horno sin pelar y como esta de hoy cocidas peladas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Por otro lado también hay algunas recetas que no ponen el huevo entero a la masa y lo que hacen es añadir algo menos de harina y un par de yemas de huevo. Sea como sea seguro que con cualquiera de las recetas que hay conseguiréis grandes éxitos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En Directo al Paladar | &lt;a href="http://www.directoalpaladar.com/recetas-de-pasta/noquis-a-la-amatriciana-receta"&gt;Ñoquis a la amatriciana.

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#160; can say that still, because here &lt;em&gt;en Suisse &lt;/em&gt;for the entire week it is not uncommon to hear people wishing each other (even strangers on the street) &lt;em&gt;une bonne année&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;#160; It seems out of the depths of November and December’s endless gray, rain, and snow, January is welcoming us with *mostly* clear blue Winter skies and sunshine that gives everyone just a little spring in their step.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As we enthusiastically open all the blinds to welcome the warm sunny glow into our home, I take another clementine from the worn wooden fruit bowl on the counter.&amp;#160; I love clementines – the bowl is almost empty as I realize my husband and I have consumed over a kilo of the little bright fruit in just a weekend.&amp;#160; I like that they peel easier than oranges in that I don’t end up with a splattered sticky mess all over the table by the time I’m ready to take my first bite, and I like that they have a little more punch than an orange does.&amp;#160; Each bite of a clementine is like taking in a little piece of bright optimism that gives me a feeling 2011 will be quite the eventful year.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I don’t know all the foods that are supposed to bring luck for the New Year, as we never really had any New Year’s traditions growing up.&amp;#160; I guess I could have made a large bowl of black eyed peas but really, I’m not a big believer in luck either.&amp;#160; I’m a believer in recognizing opportunity.&amp;#160; I think success is often determined by not just hard work, but also the ability to recognize a fortuitous moment to act (or not act) and to be able conduct ourselves appropriately when that instant occurs.&amp;#160; So instead of hoping for luck this year, I want to hope for clarity, for seeing that opportunity.&amp;#160; It’s one thing to have goals, for work, for family, for fun, but it’s another to see when something will help/hinder the realization of those goals.&amp;#160; Clear insightful vision of the roads available to take is a totally separate thing to hope for.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Burano" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5006/5297162362_a634629d0a_z.jpg" width="640" height="472" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In the spirit of vision, I see color as the symbol of any luck “charm” on my New Year’s plate – the bright orange clementines and green scallions decorating the sweet fried chicken reminded me of our trip to Burano, Italia during our Venezia adventures over the Christmas holiday.&amp;#160; After a 30 minute boat ride over the chilly sea, it was a rather crisp and dreary day (though at least we were not wading in a foot of water like when in Venice proper!) – and yet, the colors of this little island would make even the grounchiest of grinches smile.&amp;#160; I imagined bright fresh fruit as we walked along each of the streets -&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" alt="Burano" align="left" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5296512123_b860eecdf2.jpg" width="321" height="479" /&gt; &lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Burano" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5203/5297108718_f596fe4d25.jpg" width="350" height="479" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I see lemon, blueberry, plum, melon…. even the umbrellas look cheerful airing out during one of the few dry moments of the week.&amp;#160; Seriously, how could one not feel uplifted wandering around this town?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Burano" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/5296568881_8bd5b74f10_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Strawberry, orange, grape…. The orange building was my favorite.&amp;#160; Orange just seems like the perfect color, projecting warmth and invitation – like a cozy fire you want to sit near when things seem a little too unforgiving outside.&amp;#160; So whether or not orange is indeed traditionally “lucky” for the New Year’s (cause I haven’t a clue), I decided it was the perfect color for my plate.&amp;#160; I celebrated the arrival of 2011 with sweet orange chicken, and snacked on a gazillion of my favorite little clementines in the rare golden Winter sun.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In these still short days of Winter, it’s a good thing to invite a little color into our lives, and our tastebuds. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="Sweet Orange Chicken" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5090/5312486557_24b6c7d414_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Adapted from &lt;a href="http://66.147.242.155/~smellsl2/2010/12/take-out-fake-out-orange-chicken/"&gt;Smells Like Home&lt;/a&gt; (originally from&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Home-Americas-Test-Kitchen/dp/0936184892/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1287451031&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt; Cooking with America’s Test Kitchen&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;:    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Marinade&lt;/em&gt;:    &lt;br /&gt;1 1/4 cup chicken broth    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 cup sesame oil    &lt;br /&gt;1 1/4 cup orange juice    &lt;br /&gt;zest of one orange    &lt;br /&gt;1/3 cup rice vinegar    &lt;br /&gt;1/3 cup tamari (gluten free) or soy sauce    &lt;br /&gt;2/3 cup sugar    &lt;br /&gt;4 cloves garlic, minced    &lt;br /&gt;1.5 tbsp. ginger, grated    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Everything else:&lt;/em&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;1 kg. chicken wings (about a dozen)    &lt;br /&gt;2 tbsp. cornstarch (or other starch of your choice)    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 cup cold water    &lt;br /&gt;2 large egg whites    &lt;br /&gt;2 cups cornstarch    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper    &lt;br /&gt;1 1/2 cups olive oil    &lt;br /&gt;clementine segments, sesame seeds and chopped scallions (for garnish)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Directions&lt;/strong&gt;:    &lt;br /&gt;1.&amp;#160; Add all of the marinade ingredients to a medium saucepan and stir with a whisk until all is incorporated.&amp;#160; Transfer 1.5 cups of the marinade to a large sealable plastic bag and add the chicken wings to the marinade in the bag.&amp;#160; Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for about an hour.    &lt;br /&gt;2. Meanwhile, heat up the rest of the unused marinade (which should be still in the saucepan) on the stove and bring to a simmer.&amp;#160; This will become the sauce. Blend 2 tbsp. cornstarch and cold water together to form a very loose paste, and add this to the sauce.&amp;#160; Keep at a simmer for at least one full minute until the starch dissolves and becomes clear.&amp;#160; Then remove from heat.    &lt;br /&gt;3. In a large shallow bowl whisk the egg whites until foamy.&amp;#160; In a second large shallow bowl combine 2 cups cornstarch and cayenne seasoning.&amp;#160; Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and discard the marinade.&amp;#160; Dredge the chicken wings in the egg whites and then the cornstarch and set aside on a separate plate.    &lt;br /&gt;4.&amp;#160; In a large pot heat the oil until 350F.&amp;#160; Fry the chicken wings a few at a time about 3 minutes and then flip over and fry about 3 minutes more.&amp;#160; You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your pot.&amp;#160; Also crowding the pot may cause the temperature of the oil to drop which will affect how long you need to fry so that the chicken is fully cooked.&amp;#160; Once cooked, lift out of the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.    &lt;br /&gt;5. Serve chicken wings with your favorite steamed rice and drizzle sweet orange sauce on top.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Via: &lt;a href="http://jenncuisine.com/2011/01/sweet-orange-chicken-gluten-free/#comment-6645" target="_blank"&gt;JennCuisine&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; -&amp;#160; Thanks Jenn!!&amp;#160; Merci Jenn!!&amp;#160; Gracias Jenn!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:2baec271-6c2a-431f-82a7-a961dd40eebf" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;UNYKA Etiquetas de : &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/pollo" rel="tag"&gt;pollo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/chicken" rel="tag"&gt;chicken&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/free+gluten" rel="tag"&gt;free gluten&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8423941906853152025-5001635368348037006?l=unykacocina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~4/HsNDXRupotU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5250/5312486227_76d41ac4ea_t.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://unykacocina.blogspot.com/2011/01/sweet-orange-chicken-gluten-free.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>White Cake - Coconut Frosting -</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~3/U_a_wo-pvJY/white-cake-coconut-frosting.html</link><category>DIY</category><category>news</category><category>Dulce</category><category>Postres</category><category>love</category><category>Baking</category><category>Ingredientes</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (UNYKA)</author><pubDate>Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:57:42 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423941906853152025.post-692313539048058058</guid><description>&lt;h5&gt;By &lt;a href="http://manda2177.livejournal.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;manda2177&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/bakingmommy/?style=mine"&gt;&lt;b&gt;bakingmommy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Something that I really want to focus on here at i am baker is recipe quality.&amp;#160; I have spent a year getting my feet wet in decorating, and now I want to stick my toes into the recipe pool.   &lt;br /&gt;Gross.&amp;#160; Feet and recipes? &lt;em&gt; Not&lt;/em&gt; my best analogy.    &lt;br /&gt;So my goal is to start with the basics.&amp;#160; To find a great basic recipe then to tweak it to fit my needs, or if it is amazing, leave as is and bow to the feet of the creator.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;What is &lt;em&gt;with&lt;/em&gt; me and feet today?    &lt;br /&gt;My first trial is with this white cake.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Coconutcakered" alt="Coconutcakered" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e13f21d0970b-500wi" /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I love white cake and love it when it is soft and light and airy (but not spongy).&amp;#160; However, the thing I like best about white cake is that it lends itself so easily to other flavors.&amp;#160; You can pair it with a fantastic chocolate frosting or a super sweet strawberry sauce. (say that 3 times fast)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Or in this case, the soft elegance of coconut.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Coconutcakered1" alt="Coconutcakered1" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e13f22c2970b-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Traditionally, a coconut cake is accompanied by coconut filling and frosting.   &lt;br /&gt;But I am weird and only like a &lt;em&gt;hint&lt;/em&gt; of coconut... hence a white cake with coconut topping.    &lt;br /&gt;Or, after it was all said and done, white cake, &lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2010/04/the-best-chocolate-cake.html"&gt;chocolate cake&lt;/a&gt;, and coconut frosting with decorative coconut flakes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7570.stamp" alt="IMG_7570.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e145d1b8970b-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, after all that confusion, I will get back to the point.&amp;#160; White cake.   &lt;br /&gt;Basic White Cake (adapted from &lt;a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/WhiteCake.html"&gt;Joy of Baking&lt;/a&gt;-great site!)    &lt;br /&gt;2 large eggs separated    &lt;br /&gt;1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour    &lt;br /&gt;2 tsps baking powder    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 tsp salt    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup room temperature butter    &lt;br /&gt;1 cup sugar    &lt;br /&gt;1 tsp vanilla extract    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp almond extract*    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup milk    &lt;br /&gt;1/8 tsp cream of tartar&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;*I love the addition of almond extract, but you can certainly leave this out for a more pure vanilla flavor.&amp;#160; The original recipe does not call for it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Directions&lt;/strong&gt;:    &lt;br /&gt;Separate the eggs, placing the whites into one container and the yolks into another. Let come to room temperature.    &lt;br /&gt;Preheat oven to 350 degrees.&amp;#160; Butter and flour two 8in (I used 9in) pans.&amp;#160; Normally I use PAM, but this recipe really calls for the butter and flour method.&amp;#160; Just trust me on this one.    &lt;br /&gt;Put sifted flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and set aside.    &lt;br /&gt;Using an electric mixer ( I love that this recipe calls for an electric mixer as I do not even own a KitchenAid Mixer), beat the butter until soft and creamy, about 1 minute.&amp;#160; Add 3/4 cup of sugar (reserving the rest) and beat for an additional 2 minutes.&amp;#160; Now add egg yolks, one at a time, until completely incorporated.&amp;#160; Add vanilla and almond extract until combined, about 30 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Now you are going to add your flour mixture and milk.&amp;#160; Starting with the flour, add 1/3 of the mixture and mix until incorporated.&amp;#160; Now add 1/2 milk mixture, mix until combined.&amp;#160; Add half the remaining flour, combine.&amp;#160; Now add the rest of your milk and combine.&amp;#160; Add remaining 1/3 of your flour mixture, and go ahead and mix until combined.&amp;#160; This whole process should take less then 2 minutes, as you do not want to over beat the batter.   &lt;br /&gt;In a separate clean bowl with clean whisk attachment, whip eggs whites until foamy then add the cream of tartar. (I did this on medium speed) Beat until soft peaks occur, and then gradually add in your remaining sugar.&amp;#160; You will want stiff peaks, which took me about 3 minutes.&amp;#160; Now, take your rubber spatula and fold your eggs whites into your cake batter.&amp;#160; Make sure they are fully incorporated, but do not over stir the batter, as you do not want to eggs to deflate.    &lt;br /&gt;Put batter into prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes.    &lt;br /&gt;Cakes are done when an inserted tooth pick comes out clean or with very few crumbs.&amp;#160; At this point I place the cakes directly into the freezer and leave them there for at least an hour.&amp;#160; This locks in moisture and also makes it easier to frost.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7567.stamp" alt="IMG_7567.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c7481eb4970c-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seven Minute Coconut Frosting&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;1 1/2 cups white sugar    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup water    &lt;br /&gt;3 large egg whites    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 tsp cream of tartar    &lt;br /&gt;1 tsp coconut extract    &lt;br /&gt;(I did not have enough frosting to cover the outside of my cake and had to improvise, but I also added another entire cake to the interior, so I believe if you are making the white cake alone you will not have the same problem.)    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Directions&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In a double broiler (or a stove top safe glass bowl over the top of a pot of boiling water) combine sugar, water, egg whites, and cream of tartar with electric mixer and whisk attachment until combined, about 30 seconds.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Place bowl on top of pan of boiling water (water should only be about 1-2 inches deep) and beat with electric whisk attachment for seven minutes until soft peaks occur.&amp;#160; Remove from heat and add coconut extract.&amp;#160; Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or more until frosting is spreading consistency.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Since I was covering this cake in coconut, I used a majority of the frosting on the internal structure, alternating between each layer of white and chocolate.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;The addition of this type of frosting to the interior left this cake &lt;em&gt;beyond&lt;/em&gt;moist. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7552.stamp" alt="IMG_7552.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e145d370970b-320wi" /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The final result was delicious.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;Like, I am going to start making this for peoples birthdays&lt;em&gt; as a special treat &lt;/em&gt;delicious.  &lt;br /&gt;The white cake was distinctive and delectable, and can easily stand on its own!  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Pastel Blanco de Coco:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Algo que realmente me quiero centrar aquí en soy panadero es la calidad de la receta. He pasado un año obteniendo los pies mojados en la decoración, y ahora me quiere meter mis dedos de los pies en la piscina receta.   &lt;br /&gt;Gross. Los pies y las recetas? &lt;em&gt; No&lt;/em&gt; mi mejor analogía.    &lt;br /&gt;Así que mi objetivo es empezar con lo básico. Para encontrar una receta básica grandes entonces para ajustar para adaptarse a mis necesidades, o si es increíble, es como salir y el arco a los pies del creador.    &lt;br /&gt;¿Cuál es &lt;em&gt;a&lt;/em&gt; mí y pies hoy?    &lt;br /&gt;Mi primera prueba es con es con pastel blanco.&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Coconutcakered" alt="Coconutcakered" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e13f21d0970b-500wi" /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Me gusta la torta blanca y el amor cuando es suave y luminoso y aireado (pero no esponjoso). Sin embargo, la cosa que me gusta mejor pastel del blanco es que se presta tan fácilmente a otros sabores. Se puede asociar con un glaseado de chocolate excepcional o una salsa de fresa super dulce. (Dicen que 3 veces rápido)   &lt;br /&gt;O en este caso, la elegancia suave de coco.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="Coconutcakered1" alt="Coconutcakered1" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e13f22c2970b-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Tradicionalmente, un pastel de coco se acompaña de coco relleno de crema de vainilla.   &lt;br /&gt;Pero soy raro, y sólo como una &lt;em&gt;sugerencia&lt;/em&gt; de coco ... por lo tanto, un pastel blanco con relleno de coco.    &lt;br /&gt;O, después de todo fue dicho y hecho, pastel blanco, &lt;a href="http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2010/04/the-best-chocolate-cake.html"&gt;pastel de chocolate&lt;/a&gt; y coco con glaseado de copos de coco decorativos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7570.stamp" alt="IMG_7570.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e145d1b8970b-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Así, después de todo esa confusión, voy a volver al punto. pastel blanco.   &lt;br /&gt;Básico Blanco Pastel (adaptado de &lt;a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/WhiteCake.html"&gt;Joy of Baking&lt;/a&gt; gran sitio!)    &lt;br /&gt;2 huevos grandes separados    &lt;br /&gt;1 3 / 4 tazas de harina cernida pastel    &lt;br /&gt;2 cucharaditas de polvo para hornear    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 4 cucharadita de sal    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 2 taza de la temperatura ambiente la mantequilla    &lt;br /&gt;1 taza de azúcar    &lt;br /&gt;1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 2 cucharadita de extracto de almendra *    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 2 taza de leche    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 8 cucharadita de cremor tártaro    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Me encanta la adición de extracto de almendra, pero sin duda pueden dejar esto para obtener un sabor más puro de vainilla. La receta original no lo requieren.&lt;/em&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Cómo llegar:    &lt;br /&gt;Separar las yemas de las claras de colocar en un recipiente y las yemas en otro. Vamos a temperatura ambiente.    &lt;br /&gt;Precaliente el horno a 350 grados. La mantequilla y la harina de 8 pulgadas dos (he usado 9 pulgadas) de cocina. Normalmente yo uso PAM, pero esta receta realmente pide la mantequilla y el método de harina. Sólo confía en mí en este caso.    &lt;br /&gt;Poner la harina cernida, el bicarbonato de sodio y la sal en un tazón y reservar.    &lt;br /&gt;Usando una batidora eléctrica (me encanta que esta receta requiere de una batidora eléctrica ya que ni siquiera tienen una mezcladora KitchenAid), bata la mantequilla hasta que esté suave y cremosa, aproximadamente 1 minuto. Agregar 3 / 4 taza de azúcar (reservar el resto) y batir durante 2 minutos. Ahora agregue las yemas de huevo, una a la vez, hasta que esté completamente incorporado. Agregar la vainilla y el extracto de almendras hasta que se mezcle por 30 segundos.    &lt;br /&gt;Ahora vamos a añadir la mezcla de harina y leche. A partir de la harina, agregue 1 / 3 de la mezcla y mezclar hasta que se incorpore. Ahora agregue 1 / 2 mezcla de leche, mezclar hasta que se mezclen. Añadir la mitad del resto de la harina, mezclar. Ahora agregue el resto de la leche y mezclar. Agregue el resto de 1 / 3 de la mezcla de harina, y seguir adelante y mezclar hasta que se mezclen. Todo este proceso debe tener menos de 2 minutos, ya que no quiero pegar en la masa.    &lt;br /&gt;En un recipiente aparte limpia con una pala para batir limpias, claras de huevo hasta que quede espumoso látigo a continuación, agregar la crema de tártaro. (Lo hice a velocidad media) Batir hasta punto de nieve se producen, a continuación, añadir poco a poco en el resto del azúcar.Usted va a querer a punto de nieve, lo que me tomó cerca de 3 minutos.Ahora, tome su espátula de goma y doble su claras de huevo en su masa del pastel. Asegúrese de que estén plenamente incorporados, pero no más de agitar la mezcla, ya que no quieren a los huevos para desinflar.    &lt;br /&gt;Ponga la mezcla en los moldes preparados y hornear durante 20-25 minutos.    &lt;br /&gt;Pasteles se hacen cuando un palillo insertado salga limpio o con muy pocas migajas. En este momento pongo las tortas directamente en el congelador y dejarlos allí durante por lo menos una hora. Esto bloquea la humedad y también hace más fácil a las heladas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7567.stamp" alt="IMG_7567.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340148c7481eb4970c-320wi" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Siete minutos de coco Frosting&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;1 1 / 2 tazas de azúcar blanco    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 2 taza de agua    &lt;br /&gt;3 claras de huevo grande    &lt;br /&gt;1 / 4 cucharadita de cremor tártaro    &lt;br /&gt;1 cucharadita de extracto de coco    &lt;br /&gt;(Yo no tenía suficiente glaseado para cubrir el exterior de mi pastel y tuvo que improvisar, pero también agregó otra torta entera en el interior, así que creo que si usted está haciendo la torta blanca solo que no tienen el mismo problema.)    &lt;br /&gt;Cómo llegar:    &lt;br /&gt;En una parrilla doble (o una estufa recipiente de cristal de seguridad sobre la tapa de una olla de agua hirviendo), combine el azúcar, agua, claras de huevo y crema de tártaro con una batidora eléctrica y una pala para batir hasta que se mezcle por 30 segundos. Coloque el recipiente en la parte superior de la cacerola de agua hirviendo (agua sólo debe ser de 1.2 pulgadas de profundidad) y batir con batidora eléctrica apego durante siete minutos hasta que se producen picos suaves. Retire del fuego y añadir el extracto de coco. Venció por 2 a 3 minutos o más hasta que la cobertura se extiende la coherencia.    &lt;br /&gt;Desde que cubría este pastel de coco, he usado una mayoría de la escarcha sobre la estructura interna, alternando entre cada capa de color blanco y chocolate.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;La adición de este tipo de helar en el interior dejó el pastel &lt;em&gt;más allá &lt;/em&gt;húmedo. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_7552.stamp" alt="IMG_7552.stamp" src="http://iammommy.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551040fb788340147e145d370970b-320wi" /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;El resultado final fue delicioso.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;Me gusta, voy a empezar a hacer esto por cumpleaños pueblos &lt;em&gt;como un regalo especial&lt;/em&gt; delicioso.    &lt;br /&gt;El pastel blanco era distintivo y delicioso, y puede valerse por sí misma!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:e67b86d6-b393-4b75-a449-63c800be38e8" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;UNYKA Etiquetas de : &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/torta" rel="tag"&gt;torta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/reposteria" rel="tag"&gt;reposteria&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/coco" rel="tag"&gt;coco&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/dulce" rel="tag"&gt;dulce&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/bakery" rel="tag"&gt;bakery&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/coconut" rel="tag"&gt;coconut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8423941906853152025-692313539048058058?l=unykacocina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~4/U_a_wo-pvJY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://unykacocina.blogspot.com/2011/01/white-cake-coconut-frosting.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>10 Tragos Fáciles+Frescos para enfrentar el calor!</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~3/Tjw4-N5AbYk/10-tragos-facilesfrescos-para-hacerle.html</link><category>Reuniones</category><category>Bebidas</category><category>Tapas</category><category>news</category><category>Apettizers</category><category>love</category><category>Tragos</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (UNYKA)</author><pubDate>Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:57:42 PST</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423941906853152025.post-343397806516961301</guid><description>&lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#475b2d"&gt;Si sentís que la térmica te noquea, es hora de defenderte.

Prendés la tele y te muestran torsos desnudos en las playas de Mar del Plata. Mirás por la ventana y un sol fulminante te deja casi ciego. Y sí: es el verano, con sus calores sofocantes y todo el mundo quejoso. Pero no te desanimes: acá te damos la receta para combatir las altas temperaturas y ganar la batalla. Los diez mejores tragos para disfrutar cada momento del verano.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Para una tarde entre amigas: Daiquiri frozen&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Los bebedores clásicos odian los frozen, porque son más parecidos a un helado que a un trago. Pero justamente, eso es lo bueno que tienen: son dulces, coloridos y fáciles de beber. Ponés 45 ml de ron, la fruta que más te guste (probá con melón), gotas de limón y azúcar en una licuadora y le das para que tenga.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Para la playa: Caipirinha&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;El trago number one de las playas: un solo sorbo y pensás en garotas. La receta indica machacar una lima cortada en cuartos con azúcar, agregar hielo y 50ml de cachaça. Pero acepta miles de reversiones, cambiando la fruta por pomelo, limón o lo que te guste. Para tomar escuchando música bien fiestera.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Tarde de pileta: Vodka Tonic&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Nada de preparaciones complicadas. Cuando hace calor, lo mejor es un trago refrescante, que sea rápido de hacer y de repetir. El Vodka Tonic cumple con estas premisas. Un vaso alto, grandes rocas de hielo, rodaja de limón, buen vodka y la tónica que te guste. Imposible fallar.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Noche de a dos: Mimosa&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Si este verano te agarra enamorado, no podés elegir un trago de cancha... No, ponele un poco de glamour a los calores y la transpiración. Un Mimosa es un clásico de la coctelería: tan solo echás 60ml de jugo de naranja frío en una copa flauta y la completás con un espumante. Y si querés hacerte el canchero: reemplazá el jugo por pulpa de maracuyá mezclada con una cucharadita de azúcar.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Sábado a la noche, sólo en tu depto: vodka helado&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Si estás un sábado a la noche en tu casa, sin nada que hacer y ya googleaste tu propio nombre tres veces, ponete heavy y tomá medidas drásticas. Un buen shot de vodka freezado a -20º es una buena inyección para darte energía y salir a romper la noche… bueh… al menos para ponerle un poco de onda.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;6. Para el asadito: vermouth con soda&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Recién prendiste el fuego y falta para que estén los chorizos... si abrís un tinto ahora, no llegás ni a la tira de asado. Mejor, optar por algo más liviano y fresco. Elegí un Punt e Mes (un vermouth bastante amargo, ideal como aperitivo), sumale una rodaja de naranja, un chorro de soda de sifón, y abrí un paquete de fritas. Fantástico.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Para acompañar unas rabas fritas: Clericot&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Uno de los tragos en base a vino más populares de la Argentina. Básicamente, es una ensalada de frutas con vino blanco. Metés en una jarra todas las frutas que encuentres (sí o sí tiene que incluir naranjas, e idealmente manzana, durazno, frutillas, banana y demás), un par de cucharadas generosas de azúcar y una botella de vino blanco (ni muy muy, ni tan tan). Dejalo macerar un rato, agregale hielo, y listo. Lo mejor: comer las frutas al final.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Para una picada con amigos: Michelada&lt;/strong&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Dale una vuelta de tuerca a la querida cerveza de cada día con la Michelada, un trago clásico de México. Allá lo preparan con Corona, pero se banca bien con cualquier cerveza rubia liviana. La cuestión es así: en un vaso ancho exprimís un limón, le agregás un chorrito de salsa inglesa, otro de salsa soja y lo completás con cerveza. Hay quienes le suman jugo de tomate. Parece asqueroso. Pero milagrosamente, es muy rico.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Para la resaca del verano: Bloody Mary     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Pasaste una noche de bar en bar y de disco en disco. Te levantás a las dos de la tarde. ¿Café? Te rompe el estómago. ¿Aspirina? Podría ser. Pero la opción más natural es un buen trago refrescante y nutritivo, Un clásico a la hora de las resacas más duras (por algo lo será) es el famoso Bloody Mary: 45ml de vodka, 90ml de jugo de tomate (se vende en    &lt;br /&gt;el super), chorrito de jugo de limón, gotas de salsa inglesa Tabasco y un tallo de apio para decorar, aunque en ese momento poco te importe la apariencia del cocktail.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Para un día de 47°C a la sombra: la limonada de moda     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;La ciencia dice que el alcohol deshidrata, y lamentablemente es verdad... Así que, si hace realmente demasiado calor, podés optar por la limonada que está de moda en todos los restaurantes cool de Palermo: expimí dos limones, agregá tres cucharadas de azúcar, dos de jengibre rallado y un litro de agua. Todo mezclado con hielo y colado. Y si no te importa lo que dice la ciencia, echale vodka al gusto.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;Por Gustavo Soler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Via: &lt;a href="http://planetajoy.com/?10+tragos+f%E1ciles+y+frescos+para+hacerle+frente+al+calor+&amp;amp;page=ampliada&amp;amp;id=1219" target="_blank"&gt;Planeta Joy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:6d7a83c2-44a9-4ae0-a3ad-e60b4ede6066" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;UNYKA Etiquetas de : &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/tragos" rel="tag"&gt;tragos&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/calor" rel="tag"&gt;calor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/verano" rel="tag"&gt;verano&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/fresco" rel="tag"&gt;fresco&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/golpe+calor" rel="tag"&gt;golpe calor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.example.com/alta+temperatura" rel="tag"&gt;alta temperatura&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8423941906853152025-343397806516961301?l=unykacocina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UnykaCocina/~4/Tjw4-N5AbYk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://unykacocina.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-tragos-facilesfrescos-para-hacerle.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
