Italy, pizza, “Portobello”, thin pizza with a golden brown crusty border, outside crunchy, inside soft, topped with pizza sauce, buffalo mozzarella & grated Appenzeller cheese, Portobello mushrooms, rosemary.
Italian Pizza should be baked at temperatures between 360°C - 575°F & 426°C - 800°F, best in a pizza wood-fired brick oven by placing them on the very hot oven stone floor. If the oven dome has the above mentioned baking temperature, the oven floor will typically be cooler than that temperature.
📌...This very tasty variant of the brown mushroom came from America via the Netherlands to Europe, also known as a “Grill-Mushroom”.
The Portobello becomes a giant mushroom thanks to a special cultivation method. The mushroom has a large cap measuring 6 to 12 cm in size with a small stalk. The fins on the underside of the hat are brown in colour & clearly visible. The flesh is brown & very firm good for grilling, without the stalk also for stuffing & baked in the oven, also great as a tempura etc. etc.
📌…. a little slice of Italian pizza history..............
Etymologically, the term “Picea or Piza” first appeared in the Neapolitan dialect around the year 1000 & meant something like "push, jolt" & thus probably referred to the hand movement when lifting the pizza with a pizza turning peel out of the oven.
Tomatoes were first introduced to Italy from South America in 1522. At first the tomato was believed by the poorer peasants to be poisonous, fortunately they farmers overcame their doubts about tomatoes in the 17th century & started adding it to the bread dough,…focaccia was created & became the "gran, gran, gran mother" of today's pizzas.
Mozzarella had become available in Italy after water buffalos were imported from India in the 7th century, but its popularity grew very slowly until the last half of the 18th century. Like the growing acceptance of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese was slowly gaining ground too. But the cheese & tomatoes did not meet on a pizza until 1889 when Don Raffaele Esposito, an Italian tavern owner developed a pizza featuring tomatoes, mozzarella cheese & basil, components bearing the colours of the Italian flag. He named it "Pizza Margherita", after the Queen of Italy, Margherita Teresa Giovanni.
Italy unified in 1861, King Umberto I & Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889, legend has it that the traveling pair became bored with their steady diet of French haute cuisine & asked for an assortment of pizzas from the city’s Pizzeria Brandi.
In the late half of the 19th century, Italians migrated to North-America & with them their pizza bread recipe from Naples, replicating their trusty, crusty pizzas in New York & other American cities, relatively quickly, the flavours & aromas of pizza began to intrigue also non-Italians.
Beginning of the 20th century, Italian immigrants begun to open their own bakeries & were selling besides groceries as well pizza. The first documented United States pizzeria was Gennaro Lombardi’s, licensed to sell pizza in 1905 on Spring Street in Manhattan, a part known as “Little Italy” Lombardi’s, is still in operation today, however, no longer at its 1905 site, but has the same oven as it did originally. Pizza as we know & the world likes took the United States by storm before it became popular in its native Italy
Especially in the 50th, pizza’s popularity in the United States boomed & no longer seen as an Italian folkloric treat, it was increasingly identified as fast & fun food. Regional, decidedly non-Neapolitan variations emerged, eventually including California-gourmet pizzas topped with anything from barbecued chicken to smoked salmon.
Post-war pizza finally reached Italy & beyond their borders also influenced by the starting tourism. Like blue jeans, rock & roll, fast food etc. the Italians & the rest of the world picked up on pizza just because it was "Americano"…easy to eat, fast & tasty.
📍 …So actually pizza the way we like it is an "Italo-American" creation.
I personally like the pizza thin with a nice crunchy crust, fresh & hot with the particular flavour only a pizza right out of a pizza wood-fired brick oven has, sprinkled with a little oregano & a drizzle of Calabrian native olive oil, …but there is a pizza for each & everyone's age, taste & favours.

Hibou moyen-duc | Long-eared owl | Asio otus
Grandiose surprise...
Nous observions deux juvéniles de Miss Jolicoeur peu avant 17h aujourd'hui lorsque soudainement un de ceux-ci s'est mis à crier en allant dans l'arbre voisin, du côté où ils ne vont jamais... Croyant qu'il retrouvait leur mère arrivée avec une proie, on s'est aperçue que l'oiseau semblait plus gros un peu, c'est au moment de capter que j'ai vu des aigrettes... De longues aigrettes... C'était un Hibou moyen-duc... Vision tout simplement hallucinante et combien réjouissante! Un moment de pur grâce... Un moyen-duc au coin de ma rue et en plein été de surcroît!!! J'ai de la difficulté à y croire encore...
Après plus de cinq minutes où les deux juvéniles n'ont jamais cessé de crier après lui, il a finalement décollé, pourchassé quelques peu par un des Cooper le temps de s'assurer que l’intrus avait compris qu'il était malvenu dans le secteur... Il a monté assez haut dans le ciel et est parti hors de notre vue... Continuant sa route. Magique... Inoubliable...
Une autre rencontre incroyable et improbable à Côte-Saint-Paul / Ville-Émard. Après la famille de Petit-ducs maculés, la famille de Coopers de Miss Jolicoeur, la famille des Émerillons, la nichée des Grand-pics, la très et trop courte visite de la Petite nyctale, voici un éphémère passage d'un Hibou moyen-duc...
Vous excuserez la qualité des images, il était juché haut et à contre-jour... Mais l'événement demeure bien documenté, c'est ce qui importe...

Metroline is part of the Singapore based Comfort DelGro group, and operates over 1200 buses in North, North West, West, and Central London, employing nearly 4000 staff.
AV39 (Previously SBS 7251) is a Volvo Olympian with 10.5m Alexander Royale bodywork, and was acquired from fellow subsidiary SBS Transit based in Singapore in August 2000. It entered service the possible Spring for evaluation as a possible replacement for the ageing MCW Metrobus fleet. The idea was not pursued and no more examples were acquired.
The bus was initially allocated to Willesden Garage before moving on to Park Royal Garage, where it normally worked the 266, which is as it is modelled here. It's last base was Harrow Weald where it was used on contract work.
After sale it passed to Ensign (dealer) who converted it to single door, retrimmed it (Using the 'D Stock' moquette as used on the District line tube stock and the Titans and Metrobuses) and sold it on to Veolia Group who used it in Cardiff.
The model depicted here is a CMNL release and is posed on a home made diorama.

I really like fresh asparagus. It is not always available but when it is, it is invariably imported from Mexico.
GAC had a sizeable display in Detroit this year, they apparently want to begin importing cars to America as soon as next year. NAIAS 2018
The Import/Export Compound in Munich, Germany.
It was founded in 2010 as a space for unlimited exchange and communication beyond social and cultural borders. It describes itself as a “cultural and multifunctional canteen” and is one of the beating creative hearts in Munich. You can visit concerts and exhibitions there and of course find some very interesting graffitis.

Pessoal, precisamos intensificar urgente a nossa ajuda à Blankita.Precisamos de mais pessoas se oferecendo para doarem medula, para que possamos achar alguém compatível com Blankita.
Peço a quem puder para colocar no seu flickr,blog,grupos dos quais participem.Conversem com amigos,conhecidos,na fila do Banco,etc,tudo que seus corações puderem fazer para ajudar.
BLANKA PRECISA DE UM TRANSPLANTE DE MEDULA!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Seu nome real para doação: BLANCA ROSA ADORAMA TORREYRA e o seu tipo sangüinêo é A - (A Negativo).
Apresenta um defeito genético na medula e faz tratamento em Brasília estando muito difícil encontrar um doador de sangue, pois apenas 5% da população têm um fenótipo igual ao dela.
Em pensar que ela era doadora, e agora precisa de um doador!!!
Não conseguiu ninguém compatível em sua família, agora espera que a outra parte da família que encontrou na Argentina para que façam também o teste de HLA e possa encontrar um doador com urgência já que não consegue viver como está vivendo.
Ela já se submeteu a vários tratamentos muitas vezes doloridos e agressivos. Lutou muito e continua lutando, mas a solução é o transplante.
Será que vamos ficar de braços cruzados ou vamos tentar ajudar esta irmã?
Se cada um de nós arrumarmos um doador, nós vamos conseguir salvar Blanka.
Um país tão generoso, tão grande, há de ter alguém com uma medula compatível.
Faça a sua parte e Deus te recompensará.
Todo mundo pode ajudar e para isso é preciso ter entre 18 e 55 anos de idade e gozar de boa saúde. Para se cadastrar, o candidato a doador deverá procurar o hemocentro mais próximo de sua casa, onde será agendada uma entrevista para esclarecer dúvidas a respeito das doações e, em seguida, será feita a coleta de uma amostra de sangue (10 ml) para a tipagem de HLA (características genéticas importantes para a seleção de um doador).
Os dados do doador são inseridos no cadastro do REDOME e, sempre que surgir um novo paciente, a compatibilidade será verificada. Uma vez confirmada, o doador será consultado para decidir quanto à doação.
Vamos ajudar?
Muita paz,luz e saúde para todos.
Muito obrigada.
