Delicious Recipes!
Thomas, I agree. Everything I make from her cookbooks come out great. If you can get a few, of all of them, you would not be unhappy.
BTW: Our cleaning ladies are from Brazil, (25 yrs old Ari, (short for Ariadjna) ooops....I think I mispelled. These ladies do an EXCELLENT JOB.
Ari is now in Brazil on vacation with her family.

Ariadja?
LOL
Wierd name...
R U sure she´s brazillian?
This name sounds russian or slevenian.
Maybe "Adriana" or "Ariane" those are popular names in Brazil. Actually one of my siste´s called Adriana.

Off topic... Does anybody know why many brazilians move to other countries to work as cleaners?
Not being arrogant but I just can´t understand it.
I know people who finished university (Lawyers, doctors, dentists) and with excellent job positions that just get the diploma and put it in a drawer and then move to other country to work as cleaners.
By the other side of the coin, of course there are also the people who can´t get a job here in Brazil because they´re not qualified. Some people, even with good conditions, just stop studying at high school. We have some excellent universities with the same quality as Harvard or Cambridge but they just ignore it and then blaim our government because they can´t find a good job.
When I finished college, my family had conditions to pay my post graduation at Oxford University. Of course I´m very proud of it not because of the wonderful years I stayed in the UK, but almost every month there´s a headhunter knocking to my door and offering me a job.

Thomas, I think I fractured the name. lol I have her card at home, and will check. Well.....anyway, Ari and her mom, (or whoever comes to clean that day are very nice people. Very, very hard workers. I try helping her in anyway that I could, like recommending her to other friends and relatives. SHe is like family to us. I believe her husband works for a trucking company. Last year Ari just got her citizenship in the USA.

I made the Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic tonight and it was great! I had to buy a bottle of cognac for this recipe, so I finished the meal with a glass and a nice cigar from south of Florida. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to buy some of Ina's books and try some of her other recipes.
I made the pan-seared rib-eye steak today again for dinner, but this time the steaks were thicker and from Costco instead of Dominion (I think Costco is the best place for meat). I also made it for my mom and my brother+girlfriend since the steaks came in a pack of three.
Pictured is my Mom's steak searing in the cast-iron pan. She wanted hers medium-well while the other two steaks were cooked medium-rare. Our house got really smoky during the cooking so I had to temporarily take down the smoke alarm in the living room.

My first attempt at a chocolate soufflé
Actually my first attempt at a soufflé of any kind. It was supposed to be baked in six 1-cup ramekins but I didn't have any in that size so I used 4 oven-safe mugs instead. It worked better anyway since there are four of us in my family.
Mugs buttered and dusted with sugar

Why the hell did I start my diet?
I want those delicious soufflés
first round... 4 mugs (just to warm up)
second round... 8 mugs (easy)
third round... 4 mugs (I remind my diet)
fouth and last round... 1 mug (just to give a final touch and say bye bye)
