I've started this blog to share the good things people create in arts, science, leisure, ideas, no matter where or when.
A dash of humor, a drop of beauty and lots of creativity.
Dignity is a word that follows me not only at the blog but my life.
Thank you for the visit
Have a great weekend!

I can't believe I'm sharing a recipe! I don't know how to cook and what I do is improvising so the kitchen for me is a kind of lab whose experiments can result in something eatable, but delicious and yummy! are words seldom heard.
If I try something new, I gave up, but occasionally I try, chances are that the thing comes up very strange as the day I tried to cook fried cauliflower according to a recipe that had flour as ingredient.
When I did put the prepared florets to fry to my surprised it started swelling and swelling and it took some time for it to stop when I heard from the living-room:
"Do you need any help?" "No! Just relax and wait." I got nervous and kept frying all the florets, garnished a plate with vegetables of different colors and arranged the thing I had just cooked.
Some food were already at the table and I entered the living room triumphantly holding the plate with the... "I hope you like it. It is a variation of fried breaded cauliflower."
When I asked another friend what went wrong she told me that I shouldn't have put flour and eggs were enough.
I did a search and found some recipes tho I don't cook with recipes because when I look at the list of ingredients I paralyze: "6 eggs? O My! This is too much!" and so on.
I love pumpkin in all different ways it is prepared but Quibebe reminds me of my grandmother who used to do it in a way I'll never have it.
Quibebe is a word that comes from Africa and means mash and puree. I found a recipe (there is a Brazilian at this blog) that is more similar to the way I do:
Quibebe clássico or Savory winter squash with garlic and olive oil
3 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sugar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Approx ¾ cup of water
Fresh cilantro to garnish
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep pan. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or so. Add squash cubes, salt, pepper and sugar. Give it a good stir. Add ½ cup water then cover pan.
Cook squash on high temperature for about 10-12 minutes or until squash is soft and partially collapsed. Adjust seasoning. Remove from heat. Let cool approx. 5-10 minutes. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Transfer to a serving platter and decorate with a couple of sprigs of cilantro.
Quibebe pumpkin: for those who dont know how to cook
Usually, the version that puree the pumpkin in a food processor, is the most used, but you can choose each according to what you're going to serve at the meal.
You can do it my way: buy pumpkin that is already cut in squares, put the squares to cook in water
-at a pan- fry garlic, onion or both if you like; mash the pumpkins with a fork and put it at the pan and add some spices like ginger; pepper; basil; curry... your favorite spice.
It is quick and simple. Bon appetit.
