Good morning Susie Soho! It’s monday (again) and the office for filing me thesis application is closed today. So I had to revert to post this little gem of a song, “Ambling Alp” by the Brooklyn based (yes, in Brooklyn nearly everybody is a 22 y/o American Apparel dressed musical innovator/designer/artist. everybody else provides the former with drugs.) Yeasayer together with its stunning video.
After this, if you want to spoil a perfectly fine start into your week with a severe case of global bad conscience, watch the newly released Vice Guide to Travel’s “Vice Guide to Liberia”
And it was full of apples, and pudding. On a scientist’s list of favourite things, right next to coffee and a filled stapler, there’s cake. So I experimented with a few apples and some pudding, making my whole research group a bit happier. Turned out quite well, indeed.
So here’s the recipe lest I forget and so that YOU might make your colleagues happy too. I used the recipe by nreif on kochbar.de, and added a lot more flour than originally proposed.
Apple Crumble Pudding Cake
Teig
125 gr. Butter
125 gr. Zucker
ca 300 gr. Mehl
1 TL Zitronenschale gerieben
2 Stk. Eier
1 Pk. Vanillezucker
2 TL Backpulver Füllung
1 Pk. Vanillepudding
500 ml Milch
30 gr. Zucker
1 Stk. Ei
1 kg Äpfel Streusel
200 gr. Mehl
100 gr. Zucker
125 gr. Butter
1 Pk. Vanillezucker
1 Prise Salz
Teig: Butter geschmeidig rühren, Zucker, Vanillezucker und geriebene Zitronenschale unterrrühren. Eier nach und nach zugeben und gut verrühren. Mehl, Backpulver mischen hinzugeben und nochmals gut verrühren. Den Boden und Rand einer Springform 26cm damit auslegen.
Streusel: Alle Zutaten mit den Händen durcharbeiten, kühl stellen.
Füllung: Puddingpulver, Milch, Zucker, Eigelb glatt rühren und aufkochen. Eiweiß steif schlagen und unterheben. Erkalten lassen.
Äpfel schälen, entkernen und würfeln, wenn sie recht sauer sind mit ein wenig Zucker vermengen.
Den Pudding auf dem Boden veteilen, darauf die Äpfel geben. Obenauf die Streusel verteilen. Bei 160 etwa 60 Minuten auf mittlerer Schiene backen.
Oh, now if this ain’t sweet: Carl Craig rounds up all remaining members the 70’s Detroit Tribe Records, produces a new album with them (which was released on his own label planet e in 2009) and then tours together with them. You can watch a very high quality cover of their gig at Jazz à la Villette (Paris, September 2009) right below – and you should. But behold if you’re expecting Craig to pump out his old 4/4: this is a Jazz concert – a bit on the fusion side maybe. You might even have a hard time hearing wether Craig’s doing anything at all (except some strings and bleeps here and there) but the original band members make this still highly recommendable.
Having survived all of the xmas’ and newyear’s drinking and eating, I’m back in front of a math book. Oh the joy.
Still, a late happy new year/whoot, welcome to the future to all of you.
A good time to point you to the excellent Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal web comic. If you like xckd (a little at least) you will LOVE this for its constant quality of strips (please at least check out this one, it has me laughing everytime i reread it) and also the occasional video sketch – like the latest effect-laden date wars/battle of the sexes:
Just shortly before christmas I stumble upon another reason to love japanese creativity. Muscle March for Wii is one of the many games in that genre where you, 5 other nearly naked bodybuilders and a panda run through as many walls of Tokyo as you can, without being knocked out by one. Sounds familiar?
It does sound awesome and ghey? And at only 8 bucks it’s a perfect present for your loved one not.
endgeil, is aber leider n bisschen aufwendig, weil
das gebäude vorher lasermäßig eingescannt werden muss
und danach der schnick schnack am pc computer animiert werden muss,
um dann von einem digitalprojektor mit mind. 15.000 ansi-lumen (teuer)
das bild wieder auf das gebäude zu projezieren.
mir schießen grad tolle gedanken durch den kopf wie z.B pornos in kirchenfenstern etc.,
und mit einem sponsor wäre da natürlich einiges möglich, michi!
ich träume bis dahin einfach weiter von uranstäben, die sich in die mauern von atomkraftwerken ätzen, oder schwänzen auf den säulen des weißen hauses…
Holy shit time has passed. One of those moments that you realize you’re getting old (except passing all the 19 y-olds on the way to uni, all your friends turning 30 soon, having kids.. damn. these moments are cumulating) is seeing your favorite games have anniversaries.
I want to use this moment to point out that there is a FREE browser based multiplayer quake 3 version out there, called Quakelive, which by now even runs on linux and osx machines. Do give it a try, and don’t even think about telling me how much better Unreal Tournament was, cause it simply wasn’t. EOT.
