And for the recipe..........

 

1 oz Sambuca

1 oz Cointreau

1 oz Coconut Flavoured Rum:-)

Bit of Art Nouveau wallpaper and a myriad of mirrors … it did spin me out a little , or that could have been the Cointreau ;)

 

Location data seems to be dodgy, should be Matlock town.

The ingredients of a very good margarita. Tequila, orange liqueur, agave syrup, lime, salt and ice!

 

Los ingredientes de una muy buena margarita. ¡Tequila, licor de naranja, sirope de agave, lima, sal y hielo!

 

I was aware of a cocktail called a "Rusty Nail" but apparently there is also a "Rusty Screw" consisting of Cointreau, Frangelico, Drambuie, Jameson Whiskey and a twist of orange. I can see the twist of orange in this rusty butterfly screw.

They say "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" whatever... I never make fun of a little knowledge... But in my case, I would say "idiot teaches the ignorance".

I am lucky to know pretty Vietnamese lady and she always fascinated me.

I just share what I know which was almost nothing. I just barely float on my Finnish and I taught my friend.. Lol, we barely call our names in correct way...Let her call "Hon" in here..

When I get to know people, most people are amazingly wonderful..

Well, gift or no gift, I like her but with friendship plus treats, what can I say. I love her more...

Thanks my friend!

- View through the bottleneck into an old bottle Cointreau.

This bottle was forgotten in a chest for more than 25 years.

It was still half full or.... half empty, depending on you're being an optimist or a pessimist.

Even the bottle stands out... ;)

Bar light, taken under influence of a black coffee and a generous slug of Cointreau.

Rosangel tequila, Cointreau, agave nectar and lime juice served on ice with lime. Mixed together makes the cocktail Pink Cadillac.

Pink Cadillac was the B side of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springstein released in 1984.

There are different songs with the same title of Pink Cadillac but this is the Pink Cadillac song I love.

A cabaret show performed in a vintage Spiegeltent which was transported on a boat from Belgium. The show was originally part of the 10-day Luminato festival, beginning in June, but due to its popularity, it was extended twice and ran until almost the end of August 2007.

I’m not going to lie, I did enjoy this shoot.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I use Flickr like that, you know

 

I used to write a diary, all the way till I was 16 and went off to England for a working camp for 3 weeks.

I was so sure that I would never come from that trip alive

So I burned the diaries I had

 

Little did I understand that the burning was a way to tell myself that I was finished with the life I had till that day.

 

It was often a wretched life, lots of circumstances made it like that

 

Things no child should experience

 

So deep down I understood that I had choices to make

 

I had a life to live

 

How to start the change?

 

Tricky one for a 16 year old

But I started to live fully and I definitely took it all in.

I had to, you know

Because how could I else understand the good things from the bad things

 

So I experienced loads, both good and bad - but now I was in charge, I was to do the choices.

When you experience yourself, instead of being told how to do or not to do things it settles in your mind in quite another way.

It is the first step to get things right, life schmocks right back at your face and the experiences you just did makes seeds in your mind and you can start to harvest after a while

 

Life could begin

 

Don't judge a person for dealing with life, we have reasons you may not understand and often the ones living the life don't understand before later

 

And yes Dear Diary, I did escape from the working camp, lol, I ran off to London and lived there for some weeks. My folks didn't know.

No cellphones, haha.

 

I made it home, refreshed, smuggling lots of miniature bottles with Cherry Heering and Cointreau

 

Life could definitely begin, lol.

 

Happy ending today too

 

And yes, Christian - this is Karmøy, sunset towards Great Britain :D

Lighting from the COB LED light from lower right...

I have to confess I much prefer the smell of coffee to the taste.

 

The nicest I ever had was in an Italian restaurant in an Alicante backstreet.

 

All the rest are way too bitter and require a decent injection of Cointreau to smooth the taste.

Just the thing to round off an evening or or stave off Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Espresso and a fat slug of Cointreau 😋

 

And yes, this was taken at a beachside café but the wind was so bitingly cold it made your eyes water.

 

Spain, Alicante, Gran Alacant...Carabassi beach.

This is "Oprah's Favorite Martini" made by Rachel Ray:

 

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice

2 oz. Absolute Citron vodka OR white tequila

1 oz. Cointreau liquor

Cup of ice

Optional: Splash of sparkling water

Optional: Squeeze of lemon

 

Shake ingredients in a shaker and put in chilled martini glasses. Put pomegranate fruit into glass as garnish.

 

*I didn't add the water or the lemon and had no pomegranate for garnish. I also used vodka instead of tequila. This was quick and dirty. Umbrella courtesy of Bunny"

 

Hope you guys are having a fabulous weekend! I am so lucky that not only does my husband know how to cook, but that he LOVES to cook and last night he cooked me Lime Grilled Lobster with Mango Salsa and it was so fantastic. I was about knee deep in lobster before I realized I should have taken a picture. Oh well. Don't have the recipe right in front of me for it either but if you're interested, just flickr mail me.

  

   

per la crema di cioccolato

 

250 ml di panna fresca

250 ml di latte fresco

5 tuorli

50 gr. zucchero

450 gr. cioccolato fondente

1 cucchiaio da tavola di caffè solubile

 

per la crema al mascarpone:

500 gr. mascarpone fresco

330 gr. zucchero

150 gr pasta d'arancia (in mancanza, la buccia grattugiata di tre arance)

 

5 tuorli

200 cc panna liquida fresca

4 cucchiai di Cointreau

   

per la bagna:

savoiardi q.b.

caffè q.b.

poco zucchero

2 cucchiai Cointreau

  

per guarnire, scorza d'arancia candita

  

Preparare una scodella di caffè forte, zuccherarlo a piacere, ma non troppo, e profumarlo con il Cointreau. Lasciar intiepidire.

 

Scaldare latte e panna insieme; tritare il cioccolato e metterlo in una ciotola; a parte lavorare tuorli e zucchero

e versarvi a filo la miscela di panna e latte, mettere la cremina su un bagnomaria e cuocere senza fare bollire (come crema inglese) finchè velerà il cucchiaio. A questo punto inserire il caffè e fare sciogliere, aggiungere anche il liquore e poi versare la crema al caffè ottenuta sul cioccolato tritato e mescolare finchè è omogeneo, come per una ganache.

Versare la crema al cioccolato in una larga ciotola trasparente oppure in coppette individuali.

Mettere in frigorifero ad addensare.

 

Una volta pronto preparare la crema al mascarpone.

 

In un bagnomaria caldo, montare tuorli e zucchero con il frullino elettrico finchè la crema è densa e calda, aggiungere la pasta d'arancia cercando di spezzettarla il più possibile, e frullare bene affinchè sia completamente amalgamata al composto, quindi togliere dal fuoco e dal bagnomaria continuando a montare finchè il tutto è completamente freddo. A questo punto aggiungere il mascarpone, il Cointreau mescolando bene e, per ultima , la panna montata ben ferma, incorporandola pazientemente a lungo affinchè non ci sia il più piccolo fiocco.

  

Riprendere la ciotola o le coppette con la crema al cioccolato ormai abbastanza solida.

Fare uno strato di savoiardi passati nella bagna di caffè e Cointreau, ben imbevuti ma anche ben strizzati.

  

Versare la crema al mascarpone su quella ciocco-caffè già rassodata e rimettere la ciotola o le coppette in frigorifero.

 

Preparare le scorzette d'arancia.

Ricavare la scorza da una arancia incidendone qualche petalo, pulire il più possibile la parte interna bianca con un coltellino affilato, quindi tagliare a listarelle e sbollentarle per tre volte, cambiando l'acqua ogni volta.

 

Dopodichè preparare uno sciroppo di zucchero 1:1 e quando bolle aggiungere di nuovo le scorzette sbollentate. Lasciar cuocere un paio di minuti e spegnere. Lasciarle in immersione fino al momento di servire.

 

Portare in tavola, spolverando di cacao e guarnendo con le scorzette ben scolate dallo sciroppo.

Business Drink on Brussels Rooftop

Because Bloody Marys aren't everybody's cup of tea (so to speak).

 

I made this Breakfast Martini in the conventional martini way, with the addition of a teaspoon of marmelade in the shaker. Next time I'll try it with cointreau instead of vermouth and use orange marmelade instead of lime... and not go overboard with the toast garnish. Nice and tangy, though.

CILIEGIE AL LIQUORE

 

Ingredienti:

 

500 g di ciliegie

1 arancia

3 cucchiai di zucchero

3 bicchierini di liquore Cointreau

panna montata

cannella in polvere

 

Preparazione:

 

Lavare le ciliegie, farle a pezzetti eliminando i noccioli e metterle in una terrina.

Cospargere le ciliegie con lo zucchero, unire il liquore, la scorza grattugiata dell'arancia, mescolare e mettere in frigorifero per 2 ore.

Distribuire le ciliegie con il loro liquido in quattro coppette, decorarle con la panna montata, spolverizzarle con la cannella e servire.

The Visscher Museum has a standard room filled with 205's, based on the collection from Mario Müller. For this anniversary event some extra special 205's were present, although this Nepala is part of the regular collection. It was designed by Benoît Cointreau from EBS.

On a more serious note - - buying for one can be tricky.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are expensive and perishable.

Unless you are sure you can eat all of it before it goes off buy frozen.

"sono figlio di un tramonto di settembre

...di una sbornia di cointreau

sono figlio di un respiro

figlio di un orgasmo urlato, acuto e dolce

che accarezza il vento e mescola i colori

sono nato sopra un'onda che mi trasporta ovunque e da qualsiasi posto mi fa venire

raggiungo terra con violenza, schiaffeggiandola fino a romperle lentamente il muso o sfiorandola con le carezze soffici, lente e silenziose di un'amante

Ho trovato morbida sabbia e cuscini di sale su cui dormire

e tanta di quella luce da spaccarmi gli occhi

sono figlio della danza del cielo in fiamme prima che diventi notte

cammino da sud ed evaporo col sole"

The perfection and resolution power of GR3 lens never stops to amaze me. I'd like to have such a lens for my K1. For closeups, it is incredible.

Seventeenth of May.

Filled with cointreau creme patisserie

After looking around the house I found these two bottles of Cointreau in our cupboards, probably from a trip on a plan somewhere. So I set up a makeshift photo box using a cardboard box and a black t-shirt and a wine glass (wife’s idea for the glass). Once I had all the parts in place I started to shoot using different settings on the camera. Long exposers 30sec and short exposers 1/200. The f/stop ran from high f32 down to low f2.8 and. My lighting was with, yellow and blue flash used in the constant on mode; as well as different location for everything. The only thing that was consistent was the ISO speed set at 100.

I liked this photo which was one of the very last (around 50) because of the different colors. I hope you enjoy!
