Pizzaiola of Quorn Fillets

I love Quorn. I know that is OGM and it is not really and completely vegetarian (it contains eggs) but I love its texture and flavour and I think it is a valid alternative to chicken.
So here the recipe:

2 pack of Quorn Fillets
1 KG of cherry tomatoes
2 Vegetable stock cubes
2 Spoon of capers

With this dosage you will get 12 fillets: just use the half of it if you just want 6!!!

So here we have our fillets:



Fry them in a bit of oil until golden brown



Cut the cherry tomatoes in 4 parts:



Add them to the pan with a bit of oil 1 stock cube and the capers:



After 5/8 minutes they should look like this:



Add again your fillets and cook everything for another 5 minutes: you will notice that the tomato sauce will be slightly absorbed by the quorn fillets



Buon appetito!!

Mediterranean spring rolls

So here I continue my experimenting with filo pastry

3 Big onions
5 Tesco Vegetarian sausages
2 Mozzarella
1 Pack of feta cheese
1 Pack of ricotta
500 gr of Cherry Tomatoes
15/20 Filo pastry sheet

Finely chop the onions and fry them in a pan with a bit of oil.
Add the sausages chopped in chunks, and cook everything until golden brown.
When ready take the pan away from the hob and add the ricotta, the mozzarella,the feta and the tomatoes chopped in cubes.



Put a bit of filling into 1 sheet, close the external borders of the pastry in the inside of the filling and roll it up.





Fry the spring rolls into a bit of oil until lightly brown



Buon appetito!!

Hastur Live @Capolinea Rapallo 01-09-1994

So I guess in the end I found the exact date!!

Hastur Live @Capolinea Rapallo 1994

Rob (guitars here) kindly sent me some pictures from the concert @ Capolinea: I don't remember exactly the date but I can be excused after 15 years!!
Thanks Rob!!

Vegetarian Quiche

Today's post is dedicated to the quiche. This recipe really depend on your taste since you can virtually fill the quiche with anything!
Here is what I used:

3 Big onions
5 Tesco Vegetarian sausages
1 Mozzarella
1 Pack of feta cheese
1 Pack of ricotta
150 ml of fresh cream
1 Vegetable stock cube
2 Puff pastry sheet

Finely chop the onions and fry them in a pan with a bit of oil.
Add the sausages chopped in chunks, the stock cube and cook everything until golden brown.
When ready take the pan away from the hob and add the ricotta and the fresh cream: you should get a nice and creamy mixture.
Finally add the mozzarella and feta chopped in cubes.

Add the first puff pastry sheet as a base of a round tin making sure that it follow the shape of it, add the mixture and cover it with the second pastry sheet rounding the corners to close it.

Put in the oven at 200 for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
This can be eaten cold or warm.

P.S. I tried an experiment (as seen in the pictures) using filo pastry instead of puff pastry: I still prefer the original method since with the filo pastry it's too crunchy

My Rig

Ok I know my rig is not the latest and the most powerful but I'm happy with it and quite proud of the fact that I built it myself and I purchased everything with my hard-earned money.
I've been upgrading the components for the past 4 years,I reached this configuration and I decided to stop for a while because if you follow the market and the latest technology you'll end up always having something obsolete.
So here the specs

5. How to generate Green Edition.
------------------------------------
5.1.
Install Delphi 7 lite use Setup-Edition,the proposed installation of full install.If you want to restore instlled componets register,you need to install Third-Party Expert CnWizards.

5.2 Run start menu Delphi lite ->CnWizards->IDE Config Backup->Restore Tool,backup IDE settings to a file.

5.3 copy the entire delphi directory to new folder i.e D:\XXX.

5.4 run D7LiteReg***.exe under folder of you i.e D:\XXX,after run will be create the menu for delphi,you can run the delphi lite now. D7LiteReg***.exe only list Setup-Edition installed components automatic.

5.5 Run start menu Delphi lite ->CnWizards->IDE Config Backup->Restore Tool,restore IDE settings from you saved file.

OK,An Delphi development available now,reset IDE Environment Options or reinstall BPL unnecessary,Just as well as previously installed.If you want to restore installed BPL components register,remembr to checked Third-Party Expert CnWizards. Before step 5.5,remembr to run delphi onece time first.

6. RESTRICTIONS AND WARNING.
-------------------------------
WARNING:
Do not re-patch any of third-party BPL file after installed, otherwise it might raise unexpected errors.

WARNING:
On the replacement for the original RTL D2007 RTL / VCL, although the D2007 uses FastMM RTL memory management, faster and better than the D7 RTL, but carefully chosen to use, if the replacement RTL, all from the base of the VCL began to re-build, and some No source file may be unable to compiled and used, the use of the process of possible instability. Replacement after the installation of third-party Components, please do not use the built-in tools, or use the command line to compile, open and compile to install dpk from the IDE menus. Not all users recommended to replace,
Only recommended for the component of the Delphi compile & installed very skilled and all installed component have the sources. If you just want Delphi7 support XP / Vista API and the new properties, select the "Replace Windows's pas(Supports New Vista API & Attribute) only (Maximum compatibility)" Instead of "Replace with Delphi2007's RTL / VCL" to ensure maximum compatibility.

Quorn Chicken style pieces with curry and rice

1 Pack of frozen Quorn Chicken style pieces
100 Gr of McDowell curry powder
300 gr of long grain rice (or any rice)

Boil the rice in salted water.
While the rice is boiling cook the quorn with a bit of oil,onion and parsley until golden brown and take it aside in a plate.
In the same pan were you prepared the quorn add 500 ml of water, gradually add the curry powder and bring to boil.
When the sauce reach a nice density add again the quorn pieces and cook for 5/10 minutes, after that add the boiled rice and mix.

Peperonata with soya chunks

Ingredients
8/10 Peppers
2 Aubergines
4 Courgette
2/3 Onions
4/5 Tomatoes
2 Vegetable stock cubes
100 gr of soya chunks

Peperonata is one of the easiest and helthy dishes anybody can cook: it can be eaten cold during summer or hot in those bluesy winter days.
You will need a big pot for this because of the amount of vegetables that we are going to use.
Cook the soya chunks in the pot as described here
Cut the peppers,onions,aubergines,tomatoes and courgette in big chunks and add them to the pot with the stock cube left.



Cover the pot and cook on low flame for about 1 hour or until the vegetables get soft

Soya escallops

Ingredients
1 Pack of soya cutlets (I find these in most Polish shop, the one I used they are sold in tesco in the polish corner)


1 Glass of strong red wine (The ideal would be marsala but in this case I used some porto)

Flour and butter.

Cook the cutlets as explained in this post

Once they are cold coat them with flour.


Fry a nice chunk of butter and add the cutlets, turn them when they get golden.
Add the wine and let it evaporate until you get a nice caramelized sauce on your cutlets.

Cooking dried soya

There are 3 types of soya I use to cook my recipes:

Chunks


Cutlets


Mince



The biggest problem with these products is that they are tasteless, and the biggest mistake, when preparing them, is to boil the soya in hot water: if you do that it will be like eating a sponge no matter if you dry it or squeeze to drain the water.

This is the way I usually cook soya:

Fry in a pan some chopped onion, your favorite spices (bay leaf,parsley,paprika,italian herbs) and a vegetable stock cube. While it's cooking add the soya and keep mixing: at this stage the soya will absorb your tasty mixture.
You will notice that the pan gets dry: add a glass of white wine and let it evaporate. The wine absorbed by the cutlets will evaporate leaving a nice flavour to your dish; when the pan is dry again add hot water and let the soya absorb it: repeat until the soya is soft enough to be eaten.

Speedy Pizza

Ingredients:
1 sheet of puff pastry (The brand Jus-Rol sold in Tesco)
4 mozzarella
1 pack of cherry tomatoes
5 vegetarian sausages (The Tesco brand from the freezer are perfect)




Today another recipe for people coming home from work craving for something close enough to a pizza.
Start warming the oven at 200
Place the greaseproof paper into a oven tin and add the puff pastry on top of it.
Cut the 4 mozzarella in slices and place them on top of the pastry.
Do the same with the tomatoes and the sausages.
Sprinkle with salt and oil
Put in the oven for 30/40 minutes

After

Pizza

So I will start with the most basic and tasty recipe: Pizza!

300 gr Flour
1 Pinch of salt
1 Sachet of dried yeast (You can find this in Tesco)
1 Can of tomato sauce (Tomato Napoli from Lidl is perfect)
300 gr Grated Mozzarella (The bag sold in Aldi is perfect)

Mix in a bowl the flour, the salt and the yeast. Gradually add water while mixing.
I use this method because I usually ended up with too much water or too much flour: in this way you can see exactly when the mixture has the desired consistency.
Mix with your hands and knead until you have a smooth dough, sprinkle it with flour and put it back in the bowl; cover it up with a damp dish towel and let it raise for about 4/5 hours (I usually prepare it in the morning to use it in the evening).

Pre-heat the oven to 200-220 degrees.
Take a square flat oven tin and sprinkle it with flour; take the dough and start spreading it over the tin with your fingers.
Use a rolling pin to spread it evenly or even better roll it with the tomato can.
Add enough flour in the tin so that the pizza will not stick to it and, for an even crispier base, sprinkle it with semolina.
Now start spreading the tomato sauce over the base with the bottom of a spoon (half of the can should be enough).
Add the grated mozzarella : if you prefer to use fresh mozzarella , cut it in slices 30 minutes before so that all the water gets drained.
You can virtually now add any topping but please don’t “rape” it with ingredients like pineapple or steak! In my example I added gorgonzola in one half and tuna with onions on the other.
Put the pizza in the oven for about 10-15 minutes…..Buon Appetito!!

Cooking in Ireland

This blog is becoming more an more a mixture of everything so what the fuck why not adding few recipe!
I've been living in Ireland for the past 7 years and I've seen some improvements on the ingredients available on the shelves, for whatever I couldn't find there was always something similar.
Thanks to this "adaptation" I've learned to cook food with what is available on the various food halls, and the results were at least decent considering that:

I am Italian
I am vegetarian
I do most of my shopping in Lidl/Aldi
My wife and son are not vegetarian

REG to add the entry "Run As" for an MSI file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Cynic Vicar ST - My review

Well guys I don't know if anybody is expecting a review from last night concert but I'm gonna spend few words for it.

A kiss to my son and my wife and I left the house at around 19:00. I was walking towards Thomas street and the emotion was starting to build up: "What they will play?" "Will I be able to be close enough to the stage?".
I reached my destination at 19:15 and despite my shaved hair and my age I didn't feel out of place: as a matter of fact if you are a metal fan you will always feel part of a big family.
A quick look around and I quite liked the place, and the environment was warm enough; a quick beer at a bar (Fuck me 5.50 for a bottle of Miller!) and I'm ready to enjoy the show: the Ocean start quite well but after 10 minutes of the same riffs I get bored and I just sit in the back. I stay alienated until they announce their last song (finally): that's when I prepare myself for a jump in the past, a moment I dreamed for 15 years. I walk close enough to the stage and I manage to get a second row; the guys behind me don't mind to have me in front since I'm quite short. Cynic are setting up their gears and I'm setting up my vocal chords ready for an epic performance. My heart skip a bit during the soundcheck hearing the introduction of "How could I", I'm nearly in tears when the show start with "Nunc Fluens" followed by "The Space For This".
I barely realize what is going on when they start playing "Evolutionary Sleeper" and I close my eyes while singing the refrain, but there's not time for my orgasmic happyness : Paul announce that they are about to play some songs from Focus, "Veil of Maya", "Uroboric forms", "Textures" are just spectacular, I try to concentrate on Sean drumming, I try to figure it out what his hands and feet are doing while I hear the melody but these musicians are definitely from another planet. A bit of sadness fill my heart when they announce their last song and is the one I prefer the most from Traced In Air : "Integral Birth".
I leave my place under the stage inebriated with their majesty and I head straight for the door: not that I care about Opeth but I wanted to keep my memories vivid while they were still fresh.
I walk home thinking about how lucky I was to attend a concert of one of the best group of musicians in the world.

DMCA takedown notification

So it happened.
I received the (in)famous notification.
To be honest I don't give a shit.
Everything posted in this blog is just for fun, I don't do it to earn any money or to fuck the bands income.
Apparently there are individuals, somewhere in this planet, thinking that if somebody download an album instead of purchasing it will destroy the world of music.

I want just to tell these individuals that every single album posted in this blog was part of my personal collection; this just to tell you that if before I was willing to buy a new record now you will not see a dime from me.

When i was 20 I could buy a vinyl for 15.000/16.000 italian lira (7/8 euros) and a CD for 20.000/22.000 (10/12 euros) : I didn't have much money but enough to afford 4/5 albums every month. I bought records of unknown bands, I spent my money on worthless shit but what the fuck I WAS SUPPORTING THE SCENE!!

Slowly the prices started to increase and within 2/3 years they were DOUBLED!! Now you fucking piece of shit who killed the music? Who made me pay 20 euros for a fucking piece of plastic (CD) or for a bloody spit of petrol (vinyl) ?

It was the fucking greed of the major labels, you brainless sharks: you don't deserve my money nor my attention.

Since the reported post was regarding the album Human from Death I wonder who could have done such thing and I came to a conclusion:

Can't be Chuck (R.I.P.) may God bless yor soul
Can't be Sean or Paul since the albums of THEIR band are posted as well
I don't believe that Steve Di Giorgio spend his day looking for links of his former bands

So here you are you fucking Roadrunner: you were one of my favourite labels I'm sorry that you got so low.

Anyway I hope to see your name posted since:

"The notice that we received, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects at http://www.chillingeffects.org/"

At least show us some fucking balls.

One last thing:

If there is some content here that somebody has a valid objection to, all they need to do is contact me and the content shall be immediately removed!

Cynic in concert

Yes I have it! I bought the ticket for their concert here in Dublin! Unfortunately they will only play as guest for Opeth (sucks) but I can't keep my excitement for the upcoming event. It's been a long way since I dreamed to see their performance, I hope I will not get too emotional...for fuck sake 15 YEARS!



I will try to bring my handycam but I would rather prefer just to enjoy their show: their performance will always be recorded in my mind.

Graphic Files Library

Being a developer (Oh no, I'm not!!) I always struggle to find the right icon for my project or that cute bitmap for my button. I decided to collect most of the nicest files free on the net and share them with you.
This package contains more than 15.000 icons and bitmaps so you should have no trouble to find the right one for you.

Obviously it's quite annoying to preview 15.000 files until you find the one you want: but darconio thought about our poor sight and included into the package a nice application (Created with Delphi) to preview this huge library.




Enjoy!!

Easy Service Management

Another Delphi project: nothing major, this is a simple program to manage windows services.

Edit: I made few improvements to this project and I uploaded a new version. I realized that the progress bar and the traffic lights were not changing when modifying the status of a service: I created a thread to manage it. (Interesting isn't it?? :-)) )
