The holidays wouldn’t be complete with Nigella Lawson’s delicious take on food and entertaining. Below is a video of a Holiday Brunch which is great for New Year’s Day or for when you want to have a Brunch on the weekend.
Nigella Lawson is an English journalist, broadcaster, television personality, gourmet, and food writer.
Though Lawson has enjoyed a successful career in cookery, she is not a trained chef, and does not like being referred to as a “celebrity chef”. Furthermore, she does not see herself as a cook or an expert in her field.
Throughout Lawson’s television programmes, she emphasises that she cooks for her own pleasure, for enjoyment, and that she finds cooking therapeutic.When deciding upon which recipes to feature in her books, she takes the view of the eater, stating, “If it’s something I don’t want to carry on eating once I’m full, then I don’t want the recipe … I have to feel that I want to cook the thing again”.
Lawson has adopted a casual approach to cooking, stating, “I think cooking should be about fun and family. … I think part of my appeal is that my approach to cooking is really relaxed and not rigid. There are no rules in my kitchen.”. One editor, highlighting the technical simplicity of Lawson’s recipes, noted that “her dishes require none of the elaborate preparation called for by most TV chefs”.

The Espresso Martini (video has recipe)
–
-
The Espresso Martini can be found in Nigella’s Christmas cookbook. It is a mixture of cool espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, caramel vodka or butterscotch schnapps and regular vodka. Purists may argue that strictly speaking it isn’t a martini as it doesn’t contain any vermouth but now the term martini is often used to describe a cocktail made from a mixture of spirits. The coffee should be properly cold so if possible brew it the day before then pour into a jug and leave in the fridge overnight.

–
The recipe that you are looking for is Nigella’s Triple Cheese And Onion Strataand it appears in Nigella’s Christmas cookbook.
The strata is a type of savoury bread and butter pudding (bread pudding), almost like a cross between a toasted cheese sandwich and baked French toast. The beauty of the strata is that it is at its best if assembled the night before as the bread is able to soak up all of the cheesy, eggy liquid as it sits. It can then just be baked in the morning without any additional fuss.
We would like to mention that the 30 minutes baking time is based in the strata being allowed to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes so that it is not completely fridge cold when it goes into the oven. If it is fridge cold then you may need to add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time to make sure that it is fully heated through.

This is part 3 of 3 of “Breaking the Glass Ceiling” series with Misty Copeland. Parts 1 & 2 are in my NCM Blog below.
–
Misty starred in a Prince music video. Come on. How many people can say that? When Prince was planning the video for “Crimson and Clover”, he reached out to Copeland, confessing he was a fan. She also danced atop a piano during the artist’s 2010 Welcome 2 America tour. Beyond just being awesome on its own merits, her role in the video is also helping make ballet – long-perceived as entertainment for the French aristocracy and its stuffy American counterpart – more accessible and relevant. After all, art is for everyone . . . just like Prince.

For you enjoyment; please find the 2010 performance in the video directly below.

Camille Mitchell, Governor Dannel Malloy, President Obama, [Common Sense] Connecticut to Ban Gun Sales to Those on Federal Terrorism Lists
–
“I am taking this commonsense step with this executive order simply because it’s the right thing to do,” Dannel Malloy told reporters in Hartford. “If you can’t fly without clearing government watchlists, you shouldn’t be able to buy a gun.”
–
The measure, which Malloy said needs federal approval, would require state police to review whether a potential gun buyer was on the federal no-fly list or on a watchlist for people suspected of ties to terrorism.

Hello Everyone:

Senator Marco Rubio agrees with President Obama’s ISIL Strategy_December 6, 2015
–
–
–
BY DAVE ROSS
KIRO Radio Host
December 7, 2015
–
Republicans have been scolding the President for being too soft on the Islamic State. But last night he was talking tough.
“We will destroy ISIL and any other organization that tries to harm us,” President Obama explained.
He’s also been scolded for having no coherent strategy. But he says he’s had one all along.
“The strategy we are using now – airstrikes, special forces and working with local forces fighting to regain control of their own country, “he said. “That is how we will achieve a more sustainable victory.”
The speech, of course, failed to sway his critics, such as Senator and candidate Marco Rubio who was on Fox News demanding action.
“It will take a substantial ground army that is made up primarily of Sunni Arabs from the region, but they will need American special operators, and a significant increase in air support.”
That sounded a lot like what the President had said 10 minutes earlier. It was almost identical.
They do differ in one point, however. Tough as he is on terrorism, Senator Rubio voted to let suspected terrorists on the no-fly list continue buying guns legally, because the list is full of mistakes, he says.
“The notion that a radical jihadist who is on the no-fly list is going to walk into a local gun shop to purchase guns is absurd,” he said.
I sure hope he’s right, because the secret is out.

Earlier today, the candidate currently leading in the polls for the Republican presidential nomination called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” That was, of course,Donald Trump. As Jeffrey Goldberg just tweeted, “Donald Trump is now an actual threat to national security. He’s providing jihadists ammunition for their campaign to demonize the US.”

A Ballerina's Tale, Camille Mitchell, FFirebird by Misty Copeland, Life in Motion by Misty Copeland, Misty Copeland in one sitting use to devour a dozen donuts. Find out why
Hello Everyone:
–
–
Many of you have been inspired and thrilled by Misty Copeland’s promotion as prima ballerina for the prestigious American Ballet Theatre.
–
This is part 2 on Misty Copeland’s “Breaking the Glass Ceiling”.
–
–
–
Over the last few years, a lot of companies have taken the time to market to a strong, independent, and empowered woman. The latest to join their ranks is Under Armour, athletic apparel that, until recently, was most readily associated with professional football players (you know, those tight, white tees). But, “I Will What I Want,” Under Armour’s most expansive global women’s marketing campaign, aims to change its more masculine image. The campaign features U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team player Kelley O’Hara and American Ballet Theatre’s prima ballerina Misty Copeland.
–
–
–
–
–
I WILL WHAT I WANT-
–
Misty’s Under Armour commercial has generated more 10 million views. Most people are in awe at the strength and will power of ballerinas especially after they see a performance.
–
–
–
–
Misty Copeland has conquered much in her 33 years of life. From overcoming a troubled childhood to making history as the first ever African-American woman to be named principal dancer of the prestigious American Ballet Theater, you would almost never guess that the prima ballerina was once crippled by severe issues with body image.
In her new documentary, A Ballerina’s Tale, Copeland gets honest about her once-uneasy relationship with food. “I was overeating because I felt so bad about myself,” she admits. Misty goes on to explain that her binge-eating served as the catalyst for two larger problems: a deflated self-esteem and a momentary career meltdown.
“I didn’t want to stare at myself in the mirror,” she reveals. “I didn’t even want to come to class in the morning.” .

Misty Copeland mentors identical twins Shaakir
and Naazir Muhammad to become ballet dancers
–
–
60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker heard the story of the Misty Copeland’s childhood of how a dance teacher took a teenage Misty under her wing, took her in her home, and changed her life. Misty Copeland’s American Ballet Theatre principal ballerina is “Fierce”
What Whitaker didn’t expect to hear was that Copeland, now a principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, is doing something similar for two teenage boys from Brooklyn — identical twins Shaakir and Naazir Muhammad.

Synopsis
Amazon.com
–
In her debut picture book, Misty Copeland tells the story of a young girl–and every girl–whose confidence is fragile and who is questioning her own ability to reach the heights that Misty has reached. Misty encourages this young girl’s faith in herself and shows her exactly how, through hard work and dedication, she too can become Firebird.
Lyrical and affecting text paired with bold, striking illustrations that are some ofCaldecott Honoree Christopher Myers’s best work, makes Firebird perfect foraspriring ballerinas everywhere.
