Papas majadas en polvo (instantáneas, continuación)
Brazo gitano de papa majadas (en polvo)
http://www.divinacocina.es/brazo-de-gitano-de-pure-de-patatas/
Aquí una receta para complacer a Aixa Rivera, un brazo gitano. Cuando lea la primera aportación que escribí, le mencioné del instrumento de repostería que le ayudará con los diferentes inventos, creaciones que quiera desarrollar, para confeccionar platos con papas majadas, utilizando también las papas en polvo, o instantáneas.
Recuerde accesar el blog donde menciono el sistema métrico para cualquier duda de la conversión de medidas métricas, versus las medidas americanas.
El enlace que le envío muestra paso por paso cómo preparar esta receta.

Flying Cars
Flying Cars
http://1x.com/member/sylkill/albums/4356
While it is 2015 and some of you may have thought we would be
roaming around via hovercraft by now, French artist Sylvain Viau has
taken it upon himself to create flying cars — sort of. What the artist
has done is take various vehicles to his preferred location against the
seascape of Cherbourg, France and photographed the automobiles
accordingly, following up with impressive edits. The concept was
inspired by Citroen cars which are well-known for their smooth handling
and hydraulic suspension system and thus nicknamed “flying carpet.”
Viau has awarded the hovering car touch to his own rides as well as
some of his friends, as he says he can apply the technique to roughly
any car, as long as he gets to utilize his preferred location. To see
just how Sylvain Viau’s flying cars turned out, scan through the
coinciding imagery above.

About
Citroen
cars are famous for their very smooth handling and hydraulic suspension
system. They are usually nicknamed 'flying carpet'. This is my own
flying carpet after little custom works, a Cx Gti Turbo produced in 1984
! Much more comfortable like this !
Then I pushed the idea with other cars, and it's still working

Flowers you can eat, 42 edibles, and recipes
42 flowers you can eat
The culinary use of flowers dates back thousands of years to the Chinese, Greek and Romans. Many cultures use flowers in their traditional cooking — think of squash blossoms in Italian food and rose petals in Indian food. Adding edible flowers
to your food can be a nice way to add color, flavor and a little
whimsy. Some are spicy, and some herbacious, while others are floral and
fragrant. The range is surprising.
Adding flowers to your food can be a nice
addition of color and flavor, but be sure to follow these tips for
eating flowers safely.

| IT'S EDIBLE: Chamomile tastes sweet and is often used in tea. (Photo: waɪ.tiː/Flickr) |
It’s not uncommon to see flower petals used in salads, teas, and as
garnish for desserts, but they inspire creative uses as well — roll
spicy ones (like chive blossoms) into handmade pasta dough, incorporate
floral ones into homemade ice cream, pickle flower buds (like
nasturtium) to make ersatz capers, use them to make a floral simple
syrup for use in lemonade or cocktails. (See a recipe for Dandelion Syrup
here.) I once stuffed gladiolus following a recipe for stuffed squash
blossoms — a little out-there, I know, but they were great. So many
possibilities…
Eating flowers safely
So. As lovely as eating flowers can be, it can also be a little … deadly! Not to scare you off or anything. Follow these tips for eating flowers safely:
So. As lovely as eating flowers can be, it can also be a little … deadly! Not to scare you off or anything. Follow these tips for eating flowers safely:
• Eat flowers you know to be consumable — if you are uncertain, consult a reference book on edible flowers and plants.
-
• Eat flowers you have grown yourself, or know to be safe for consumption. Flowers from the florist or nursery have probably been treated with pesticides or other chemicals.
• Do not eat roadside flowers or those picked in public parks. Both may have been treated with pesticide or herbicide, and roadside flowers may be polluted by car exhaust.
• Eat only the petals, and remove pistils and stamens before eating.
• If you suffer from allergies, introduce edible flowers gradually, as they may exacerbate allergies.• To keep flowers fresh, place them on moist paper towels and refrigerate in an airtight container. Some will last up to 10 days this way. Ice water can revitalize limp flowers.
Allium
All blossoms from the allium family (leeks, chives, garlic, garlic chives) are edible and flavorful! Flavors run the gamut from delicate leek to robust garlic. Every part of these plants is edible.

Papas en polvo, instantáneas
Magic Tip, 7 S T - punta de Ateco (ateco es una marca, conocida para identificar las puntas de repostería) pero esta marca lee Magic Tip, son por enumeraciones y esta es 7 S T. Esta punta le dará a la papa la forma de una barquilla de mantecado. Es una forma atractiva que puedes realizar con un servidor redondo también, pero de esta forma puedes meterla en el horno tostadora pequeño en BROIL unos minutos, y quedan crispy las partes de arriba de la barquilla.
La Manga - es plástica, vienen de tela, y de un plástico más desechable. En una emergencia que no tengas una, puedes improvisarla. Lo importante es que la punta que va dentro de la manga no se salga mucho, apenas las perforaciones, porque al empujar la papa hacia fuera, la manga aguante la punta sin se que se salga.
Tienes la oportunidad de comprar los gravies (gravy) para ya sea la papa presentada en bolita o en forma de barquilla, que se los pones por arriba, de la papa. Mejor cuando es redonda, le haces una perforación suave con la cuchara y le pones el gravy (los instantaneos, las intrucciones detras,sencillas)
Las papas en polvo o instantáneas, vienen en dos presentaciones. Una es en flakes, esto es, en hojuelas, parecidos a la avena pero más transparente, me gusta esa consistencia. Y la otra en polvo.
Esta que presento en la foto de IDAHOAN, (dice sabor como hecha en casa en minutos) es rica. Usualmente cuando dicen dos tazas de agua, usted le pone leche, o alterna, una de leche y una de agua. A menos que no pueda consumir leche. Viene una variedad de leche como la de soya y /o almendras (hasta de coco, y de leche de arroz). Esta que le presento Idahoan, vienen también en una cajita con diferentes sabores, le han añadido perejil, o la papa roja sus cascaritas, y así hasta 5 variedades. Esta es con sabor a mantequilla, toda la caja. Me gusta el sabor de la mayonesa, por eso, aunque no lo especifica, le añado al terminar un poco de mayonesa. Si la papa va a estar fuera por un tiempo NO añada mayonesa. O la sirve aparte en el momento de los comensales servirse.
Las instrucciones leen
- 2 tazas de agua en una cacerola ,caliente el agua hasta hervir.
- remueva el agua hirviendo del fuego e inmediatamente agregue esta bolsa de papa en polvo removiendola según la echa.
- Mezcle usando un tenedor para humedecer todas las papas y espere 1 minuto.
- Mueva bien y sirva.
Las papas majadas son ideales para los tacos de masa suave (como burritos) Los prepara la compañia Church en el desayuno con pollo empanado (Tenderloins) y en otros lugares con pollo desmenuzado.
TIP (Las hojuelas las puede guardar en la nevera, no así los panqueques, porque luego no les crecen, no suben, entonces tendrá que calentar la leche o el agua para que la levadure produzca que suban y no se queden pegados como tortillas.)
Ya no uso el microhondas, pero si usted lo utiliza, las instrucciones son la misma medida de
- 2 tazas, hiervalas en hi, unos 4 a 5 minutos. (creo que es mucho tiempo, las otras papas dicen 2 a 2 1/2 minutos )
- Remueva sabiendo que estara muy caliente,
- añadale las papas poco a poco mientras mueve con un tenedor y espere un minuto.
Estas pueden ser como PAPRICA, que es pimienta roja (se usa mucho para el pescado,o mariscos.
Ya que estas papas tienden a tener un sabor ligeramente dulce. Puede añadirle ajo en polvo, o perejil en hojuelas, también, albahaca. Ect. Puede intentar las especias indúes como Masala que tiene una combinación de genjibre y canela, con un poquito, se adereza todo un plato.
Las otras papas en hojuelas (flakes en inglés) no vienen pre medidas. Para dos servicios,
- 2/3 de agua ,
- 1 cucharada de mantequilla o margarina,
- sal 1/8 opcional,
- 1/4 leche, y
- 2/3 de una taza de los flakes u hojuelas.
Servicios minutos en microhondas
2 2 a 2 1/2
4 3 a 3 1/2
6 4 1/2 a 5 minutos
Advertencia - que el envase puede estar caliente, use el criterio de calor por ser diferentes hornos.
Si alguna vez preparó papas enteras y las guardó, para calentarlas luego, ya no puede preparar cualquier plato con ellas porque crea una consistencia como gomosa. Incómoda. Así, que la receta que prepararía sería cortarla en trozos y puede preparar papas gratinadas (vea la receta en este blog). o sofreirlas para dorarlas ligeramente en sartén, en mantequilla echandole alguna especia.
Disfrute las papas majadas. Puede servirlas sobre hojas de lechuga en un plato separado. Y añádale hasta uvas cortadas en mitades!!
