Cheesy Gooey Luxury

So I'm sort of stuck in the dark ages of e-mail i use Yahoo .. at least some people say it's the dark ages. The one thing i love about yahoo is the news stories on my way to my dreaded e-mail.
not sure why but i dread opening e-mails.

However those news stories are great... especially when they're about grilled cheese.

So there is a restaurant in NYC called Serendipity 3 and they serve a 214.00$ grilled cheese. I repeat a 214.00$ GRILLED CHEESE.

The Quintessential Grilled Cheese features layers of the extremely rare Caciocavallo Podolico cheese which is aged in special caves. 
The bread itself is baked using Dom Perignon Champagne and brushed with truffle oil that contains flecks of edible gold. White truffle butter is also smothered on the slices before its stuck on the grill.
The extravagant snack must be ordered at least 48 hours in advance to give chefs at the exclusive Serendipity 3, based in New York, plenty of time to prepare the masterpiece. 
Its edges are then covered in 24-carat gold leaf and the sandwich is served with a tomato and lobster bisque which is presented in a baccarat crystal glass.
How insane is this. 

I so desperately want to try this sandwich ... especially since I'm currently starving. Ha!

Featured below are some of the photos of this glorious masterpiece.

Save your money on Organic shit.

Eating healthy is a great thing but sometimes it can be a little expensive.
And what is worse than spending money on groceries and then seeing them shrivel up and die... not a lot.
So featured below is a sweet grocery checklist and a sweet how to store grocery list.
There are so many tools out there to assist us in eating healthy and staying healthy but it's up to us to use them.
Remember the healthier you eat, the healthier you crave. It's science.

Meals of the Great: Results

Ok so about a week ago i wrote the post Meals of the Great, this is the follow up - the result.
If you haven't read it just click here.

Ok to start here are the images of the Bell Jar meal. Esther Greenwood and her obsession with avocados encouraged me to make Crab stuffed avocados.

Recipe 
1 Large pear avocado
5 oz Fresh crab
Grape tomatoes
Celery
Scallion
Mayonnaise
Curly italian parsley
1/2 Tsp of paprika

Start by draining the crab meat.Then chop it up into little pieces.Then chop up all the ingredients seen up above.Mix it all together.

Note: i didn't really measure how many tomatoes or celery i put in etc... i just judged how busy the mixture looked, and depending on what you prefer you can alter the recipe slightly.


Secondly, was the first meal from Ernest Hemingways Garden of Eden- David Bourne eats a delicious breakfast of Soft Boiled Eggs with Fresh Raspberry Preserve and Brioche.

Recipe
2 Large eggs
3 Slices of brioche
2 Tablespoons of raspberry preserve
2 Squares of fresh butter

Start by boiling water, when water is boiled put the eggs (shell still on) in the water.
While the eggs are boiling toast the bread, we want everything ready at the same time.
Prepare your raspberry jam in a little dish.
After 6 minutes the eggs will be done.
Remove them from the water and place them in egg cups.
When the toast is buttered, break the tops of the eggs and start dipping that bread!


Lastly is the meal David Bourne eats once his marriage has essentially fallen apart. He eats a very manly meal of Plat aver Jambon and English Mustard.
So the meal can be interpreted a couple different ways, i interpreted it as such.

Recipe
2 Slices of egg bread
2 Fresh slices of ham
1/2 Cup of vinegar
2 Tbp of english or hot mustard
1 Large egg

Ok so, i poured the vinegar into a pot of water and brought it to a boil. The vinegar will help bind the egg. Then i cracked the egg into the water, Note: keep the egg gently swishing in the pot, otherwise it will cling to the bottom of the pot. While your swishing the egg roast the ham in a pan. Make the slices nice and thin (this is my preference) while all of this is going on you should be toasting the bread. 
Remove the egg after about 3 minutes.
Butter the bread, remove the ham, put some mustard into a jar and get ready to enjoy.


 To make everything better here was my little helper. Don't worry she didn't taste test , she just encouraged :)

Happy cooking

Winter soups for the soul

So Winter is upon us and needless to say some of us don't love it. One of the hardest parts of winter , other than leaving the house, is eating right. We all let our inner bear shine through and we eat our faces off.
One of my favourite foods during the winter ... and well... the summer,  is soup. 
It's a healthy smorgasbord in a bowl, and it's incredibly easy to make. 
So here is a great chart that I personally love that will help you eat right and eat warm during the winter. 
psssst my fave is the coconut curry.



Happy feasting.

Meals of the Great.

So i tend to read a lot ; a lot by my standards that is.

In every book the characters eat, or at least they should otherwise they're not really realistic.
I know this may sound strange but i love to eat, who doesn't . so my intrigue with what characters are eating stems deep.
It describes them, the same way how i eat almost the same breakfast every morning describes me.
- i like patterns, routine , my meal choice i healthy and unusual.
So it leads me to think when an author chooses a specific meal for a character there must be a reason right ?

Over the next couple weeks i am going to examine some of the meals i personally have come across in movies and books.
They will include but are not limited to :
(and if you have any recommendations i welcome them gladly)

- Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar
The protagonists consistent obsession with avocados .

"Avocados are my favorite fruit. Every Sunday my grandfather used to bring me an avocado pear hidden at the bottom of his briefcase under six soiled shirts and the Sunday comics. He taught me how to eat avocados by melting grape jelly and french dressing together in a saucepan and filling the cup of the pear with the garnet sauce. I felt homesick for that sauce. "
An interesting pairing, nonetheless it will be tested in my kitchen.

“a vision of the celestially white kitchens of Ladies’ Day stretching into infinity. I saw avocado pear after avocado pear being stuffed with crabmeat and mayonnaise and photographed under brilliant lights. I saw the delicate, pink-mottled claw meat poking seductively through its blanket of mayonnaise and the bland yellow year cup with its rim of alligator-green cradling the whole mess.” 

-Ernest Hemmingway's The Garden of Eden
David Bourne the male lead is constantly eating eggs for breakfast, the better is marriage the better the eggs. The worse it gets the simpler is eggs become.
At the beginning of the marriage his eggs are served as such:

"[...]there was brioche and red raspberry preserve and the eggs were boiled and there was a pat of butter that melted as they stirred them and salted them lightly and ground pepper over them in the cups. They were big eggs and fresh and the girl's were not cooked quite as long as the young man's he remembered that easily and he was happy with his which he diced up with the spoon and ate with the only the flow of the butter to moisten them and the fresh early morning texture and the bite of the coarsely ground pepper grains and the hot coffee and the chickory-fragrant bowl of cafe au lait."

Near the end :

"the girl went into the kitchen and came out with oeufs au plat aver jambon and english mustard and Sorova [...] he wiped the last of the egg and mustard up from the shallow dish with a small piece of bread and then drank some tea"

Quite literally , the worse the sex becomes, and the more non existent it is (the sex that is) the food becomes less important.

For now i will start with these examples. I will interpret these meals as my own and feature them in the coming weeks on the blog. 

For all the foodies out there, stay tuned.







Recent Craze

i feel as though we all go through small phases of different things.
whether it is diet crazing or a specific colour we love we go through moments of obsession.

i LOVE smoothies.

i love that its a healthy alternative to a full meal.

a day of GIF's happy hunting fuckers.

c'est L'Halloween, bor bore bored

ok so being in school my life has become rather dull.
i am not yet old enough to legally drink my face off and it is exceedingly annoying.
i would like to be as free as a bird but life has decided to with hold this privilege form me until December 17.
so since my life is so boring i've decided to do things that will up the fun-o-meter in my life.
or at least fill up the occupation tank until i graduate.
i havent yet figured out what those will be , but they should be highly productive and moderately dangerous. i want to do fun crazy shit .
i havent yet decided what all these great things are going to be but hopefully all works out ?

j'adore ca, les couleurs, les citrouilles,l'attitude, c'est charmant- sincère.


if you have any ideas as too what i should do let me know.
all activities should take place in London, ON or the GTA.
and by GTA i mean more specifically toronto.
try not too make them too expensive.

my first step that i am taking is becoming a vegetarian, soon afterwards i am going to attempt veganism, heard that shits hard, we'll see how it goes.

cool.

Throwing a post together

So i have been unusually awful at keeping up with my blog, i know right shame on me.
fuck.
it's cause i got overwhelmed with seeing everyone !
however i am back and going to be blogging more often than : )
so what i need YOU to do is to tell your friends. 
i want to get my followers up and my facebook likes up.

 ^ click there and you can follow me
because i put things on my facebook page that i don't put on my blog so follow it  
PLEASE AND THANK YOU 

so recently someone told me too put together a bunch of pictures to express what i thought about myself. 
these are the pictures i chose. didn't use them all but the ones i still chose them.
bag girls wear boots.

getting this tatooed on myself.

sexy liars wear masks


smart girls wear heels.

Bad girls wear studs


i chose all these pictures because theres a huge contrast between all of them. 
one thing i always tell my roomies is that i look so blonde.
i have naturally super fucking platinum hair and i like pink or red lips. 
so my problem is that it either makes me look like a hooker or a barbie 
so i like to dress a little edgier because it looks badass and cause black and tight is hot. 
barbie is not in, she is imaginary, so all you blondes stop creating this stereotype that the rest of us are trying to fight back from its annoying.

I AM BLONDE.
do i act like one- no.
do i talk like one- no.
i can dress like one-yes.
can i punch you in the face for treating me like one- fuck yes.

hmm hi ho

ok so today i've felt like shit. like just a completely good for nothing mood.
it's like someone slapped me with a moody stick. and no i don't have my period. 
but anyways i've been all bitchy-ish, lazy and sluggish and now i have a surge of creativity. 
i got my grades back from Post-secondary and turns out i'm mad good at fashion.
aka all A's.
and then my new next door neighbour, turns out she works for MAC, Estee Lauder, Tom ford and some other bitchin labels. 
and well she brought be a BUNCH of makeup and is going to make another "gift bag with more neutral tones for you"
i love her.
and so now i feel creative. it's cute how that works. 
i wanna do makeup and take pictures and edit and basically make a fashion magazine. 
ye we are aiming high but fuck it.
and since she brought colours it makes me wanna look at glitter and beautifully bright and perky pictures.
aka the pictures found below feature some pretty subjects that perk me up.
gorgeous strappy heels, that should be made of suede.
Louboutins that should be in SATC.




Vacations, tropics.


drugs.

Blackberry, Asian character Keychain, and bold colours.
