The real story of Goldilocks and the three bears

2008-11-30T12:41:00.000-08:00

Hi there!

When we were small kids, everyone of us listened to the story of GoldiLocks and the three bears... what? you don't? well, click on the link below and then follow reading the blog:

http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-stories-goldilocks-popup.htm

Oh... a great story (it sucks...) ... but it's all FALSE! UNTRUE! LIARS! I know, yes, I KNOW the REAL STORY! Goldelicks' escape was not as easy as in the story above... the truth is that Daddy Bear catched GoldiLocks, Mummy Bear took her scissors out of her pocket, and then Baby Bear could eat well that day... but the question is... what did he eat? and the answer is... this!

Here is the proof. Baby Bear ate Hair and Human Ear that day. His parents told him that he ate Rigatonni with Scallops ( Rigatonni con Vieiras ), but we already know the true story... even Ex-Goldilocks knows it...

Thanks MARTA from Vigo !

Death

2008-11-24T23:32:00.000-08:00

Today is a sad day for fried egg... we received this from a new psycho-killer-cook from Madrid... we suppose he was eaten...

Despite of this, the dish is cool... but you are still a murderer!

Thanks Mariajo?

Let's cry:

Cholesterol Paradise

2008-11-09T01:44:00.000-08:00

Cholesterol is a lipid like, waxy alcohol found in the cell membranes and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. It is an essential component of mammalian cell membranes where it is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity. Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals...

Animals like this:

Turning into this...

Thanks to Laura from Benidorm and our good friend the Cholesterol !

I'm hungry.....

2008-11-01T01:57:00.000-07:00

...These days, we always see zombies looking for fresh flesh...

But Zombies are getting tired of eating too much raw flesh...

Oh think about it... Halloween... they need a good dessert for smiling up again...

So I asked Inma to cook some typical desserts from her home: Catalunya. So she asked me: "Are you crazy? Do you want to feed those killer zombies? " , and I say: "Yes, everybody deserve the right to try new things, although most of us think they are pretty dangerous...". "Ok ok"-she answered me... I'll cook for them...

And here is the result:

PANELLETS, CASTAÑAS y BONIATOS (PANELLETS, CHESTNUTS and SWEET POTATOES)

If you look closely at them, you could see that there are 2 types of Panellets: the ones made of Coconut and the other ones made of Pine Kernels.

They are very typical in Catalonia these days, even Zombies like it:

So, remember, if a zombie is knocking up your door, maybe he/she doesn't want your hand. Be ready with a tray full of delicious and veggy Panellets. Here's the recipe:

Panellets Recipe

Thanks Inma! You saved me this Halloween of being a bit more ugly and bloody than now...

Desired Desert of Desserts - A True Story

2008-10-26T13:06:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time... a brave prince...

...fell in love with a beautiful princess...

...but the princess was diabetic and when she was ready to take her insulin dosage she fell asleep because the evil witch...

... put some Sugar from Azucarera Española inside the pump...

... oh, but What would the prince do??? He was diabetic too, and to defeat the Sugar Kingdom, he should cross the Desired Desert of Desserts, without help. The desert was full of:

- JAMssss:

- Splonge Cake:

- Jelly:

- Catalain Custard and Chocolate Crepes:

- Orange Flavour Créme Caramel:

Bue the Prince was... smart, and he let his horse do the hard work... so the horse ate all those dangerous meals, but at the end, he turned into a cake itself...

So, the Prince could rescue the Princess, and gave her another kind of pump to make it sure she would wake up... but that's another story... perverts...

Thanks to Marta and her Desserts! Hope to be in your desert some day :-D!

FLORINDA CHICO POWER!!!!

2008-10-21T00:06:00.000-07:00

Hi!

Sorry for the delay, I was saving the world twice last week... but now everything is ok, and a I can go on the cooking show.

Ana from Madrid sent us one delicious meal called Croquetas:

I don't have any picture of her, but I'd like to pay tribute to one of my favourites spanich actress, Florinda Chico! Tell me: if you want to eat "croquetas"... who would you choose between Ferrán Adriá or Florinda Chico? The answer is clear...

Thanks to Ana for her meal, and to Florinda Chico for being one of the sexiest cook actress in the world!!!

EAST vs WEST

2008-10-12T08:01:00.000-07:00

Hi!

Sometimes, some of us have felt that out there, there is something more than just our simplistic vision of life.

But if you think too much about it...

EASTERN vs WESTERN

And then, You will go crazy or just... get hungry... and then, why choose between them? why don't get them all? All thougths, religions, ideas, ... all around the same table:

- CHINESE NOODLES with vegetables, chicken, pork, prawns and soja sauce -

- CHICKEN "ajillo" style with pine kernels, nuts and Iberico Pork Ham -

Thanks Inma! and remember:

Dark side of the bread

2008-10-05T08:47:00.001-07:00

Sometimes dark thoughts live in warm environments... as black olives in spongy bread...

GRILLED YOUNG HAKE and POTATOES "A LO POBRE" STYLE

2008-09-23T12:24:00.000-07:00

Jajajajaja me parto....

Hi there!

Fried-Egg is proud to present our last adquisition in our worldwide 20 visits-per-day blog LOL... by CARLOS from Parla-Madrid-Spain-Europe-The Earth-The Universe:

- PESCADILLA AL HORNO y PATATAS A LO POBRE (GRILLED YOUNG HAKE and POTATOES "A LO POBRE" STYLE):

But, what does it mean "PATATAS A LO POBRE"? it is just a way to cook potatoes and here is described:

- First of all, look for a kitchen like this:

- And then, just steal some potatoes from the nearest market garden and give them some coins to make them feel better before they were going to be cooked, remember they should feel in a "poor" enviroment...

And that's all!

For the young hake:

- First of all: practice sex with a hake. Look for its reproductive hole first (there's a spanish saying for that: "La pescadilla que se muerde la cola"):

- wait for your babyfishes:

and don't love them too much....

Que aproveche!

Duck Breast and Ravioli....

2008-09-21T04:27:00.000-07:00

Who's the chef? Jackie!!! Thanks!

¿Mexican Food?

2008-09-16T11:03:00.000-07:00

Hi there!

We've recently received some pictures from Belinda's meals. She says everything was yummy and delicious, and I'm sure it was, but my question is... when we are cooking or eating food from another country (Mexican food this time)... is it just a "substitute" of the "real" thing? I mean, what a mexican could think if he/she eats this?

be patient before the picture!

Mexicans all around the world, write your comments about it! :-D

P.D.: There was a dessert too, passport not included, next time send me a slice or two...

P.D.: Maybe mexicans think people all around the world have desecrated their culinary traditions... but remember "amigo mío", who is the best ranchera's singer all around the world?

Thanks Belinda! Thanks Rocio!

Shish kabob and uncultivated rice with roquefort sauce

2008-09-11T09:23:00.000-07:00

Hi!

I recently received this kind of lightsabers made of meat... it is called Shis kabob(it sounds like a Jedi warrior or something...) or meat in a stick, as you wish my lord...

- Pinchos morunos y arroz salvaje con salsa Roquefort (Shish kabob and uncultivated rice with roquefort sauce):

It is accompained with "uncultivated" rice (yes I know about snob single cooks but they are part of this blog too, sigh) and a small amount of Roquefort Sauce (I hope it is Roquefort sauce because it could be a lot of things if we thought about single and loneliness...)...

Who's the sender? His name is Angel and he is about to get his Technical Computer College Degree... Congratulations! (he'll follow my advice of not wearing trousers in the last test)

Maybe now you will be able to buy some legal rice and not take it from uncultivated fields... forever...

Thanks Angel!

COOKINGYOURCOUNTRY STRIKES BACK!

2008-09-08T09:58:00.000-07:00

Hola!

Espero que vuestras vacaciones hayan sido tan divertidas y agotadoras como las mías. Creo que necesito unas vacaciones de las vacaciones. De hecho, he ido dejando el blog hasta que el pobre ya casi me suplicaba una muerte rápida y silenciosa. Pero por suerte para él y para todos vosotros recibí la llamada de un viejo conocido mío, el cocinero loco, que me ha pedido por favor fotos de platos que yo gustosamente le he enviado sin cobrar nada a cambio jiurjiur. Es que el pobre hombre necesitaba fotos para el menú de unos de sus restaurantes de cookingland, sí, ya sé, cosas suyas. Pero yo le sigo la corriente porque alguien que habla con un huevo-bandera tiene un serio problema.

Pues nada, que se me han gastado las fotos y el hombre se está poniendo muy nervioso, y el huevo corre peligro, ¿o es que no os habéis fijado en la barra de pan que lleva bajo el brazo? El huevo necesita ayuda, así que he reproducido en el cabecero del blog su mensaje desesperado... sed comprensivos y ayudadle a sobrevivir.

El huevo bandera quiere vivir!

bueno... yo he podido tranqulizar al cocinero loco con una foto que me dejó Jackie en la retaguardia de nuestro querido correo. Pero no es suficiente y el tiempo se acaba...

Gracias Jackie por tu nueva aportación!
