G@tto: On SALE in South Sardinia

December 31, 2009

Perfect moment for Brasato & Polenta...

or wine braised beef and polenta for a promising end of the year's dinner.

How to - following G@tto's suggestions...
Meat :
* you need a piece of stewing beef, previously marinated (all night long) in red
wine, with chopped leek, carrot and parsley;

* keep aside the marinade, roll the meat in some flour and brown it in hot olive
oil
with chopped chilli and garlic;
* add the marinade and sear on high heat, then add vegetable broth and some
tomato puree;
* bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot and cook for a couple of hours.
Polenta :
* Pour slowly 250 gr of coarse-grain polenta into 1 L of salted water, stirring
continuously;
* transfer all in an oven pot covered with aluminium paper to complete the cooking.
The polenta is ready when thick and creamy.


... à table !

Dix ans plus tard... ça va !

Les 26 et 28 décembre 1999, deux tempêtes d'une violence exceptionnelle,
dénommées Lothar et Martin, ont traversé la France d'Ouest en Est, puis
une partie de l'Europe, laissant derrière elles un indescriptible chaos.




Qualifiées de "tempêtes du siècle", elles ont fait de nombreuses victimes, décimé des milliers
de forêts, privé de courant des millions de foyers pendant plusieurs jours, provoqué
d'importantes inondations et dégâts matériels.


La première tempête est partie de la pointe de la Bretagne vers la Normandie, l'île de France,
la Champagne Ardennes, la Lorraine et l'Alsace, puis vers l'Allemagne, la Suisse.
La seconde
s'est développée au large de la Bretagne, puis s'est dirigée vers Nantes, Dijon et l'Alsace.
Les régions de toute la côte Atlantique ont été les plus touchées, en particulier le département
de la Charente Maritime.
La tempête a soufflé vers le sud, la Corse et affecté l'Espagne et le
nord de l'Italie.

Last minute Christmas shopping ?

... yes, but in a fair trade shop, of course !




Au-Delà des Frontières/Beyond Borders
- 106, rue Amelot - Paris XI - M° Filles du Calvaire
Commerce Equitable
/Fair Trade













But fair trade Au-delà des Frontières has now an unfair neighbour since Altermundi
opened a new store one month ago, just in front of theirs -
isn't this a "coup bas" ?
