My tastes and colours…

I have a principle which is to always do my best under any conditions. Enough about Asian, Buddhist, Shintoist, and other thoughts... and other areas of the globe, I have learned that balance is the most complicated state to reach. This balance can also be found in many fields such as photography (too much or too little light), sports, work, house (Feng-Shui), ...

Recipe of pork with Marsala in 15mn

Jamie Oliver / 2014

Cooking time: 15mn / Preparation time: 10mn.


Ingredients for 4 people:

300 g brown or basmati rice

About ten dried ceps (or fresh ceps)

1/2 lemon

4 sprigs of lemon thyme (or thyme)

1 half Chinese cabbage

1 broccoli

600 g pork tenderloin

1 vegetable bouillon cube

1 tablespoon cilantro molded coriander

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 red onion

4 sage sheets

1 line of Marsala

20 cl light cream

Cook the rice in double boiling salted water and add the coarsely chopped porcini mushrooms, lemon and lemon thyme halfway through the cooking time. If you use fresh porcini mushrooms, cook them in a pan in a little bit of material fat and add them at the end of the rice cooking. If the rice is undercooked, cover it for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cook the cabbage in a saucepan filled with water with the vegetable bouillon cube over high heat for 15 minutes, 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time add the broccoli.

Cut the tenderloin into 3cm thick slices. Coat it with paprika and ground coriander, then fry it in olive oil, turning it regularly until it is cooked (about 5 minutes per side, the meat should remain tender, slightly pink). Finely chop the red onion and remove the sage leaves, add them to the meat. Once the meat is cooked, add a little marsala and flambé. Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking stock and simmer for 3 minutes.

Put the meat on a cutting board and pour the cream with the bouillon into the pan. Bring to the boil and let the sauce take on a nice consistency. Season.

Serve the meat with the rice, cabbage and broccoli and drizzle with the cream.


Lemon can be replaced by orange slices to be added when the meat is cooked, porcini mushrooms can be replaced by fresh button mushrooms cooked at the same time as the onion. Sage may not be used in this recipe.

Sekhmet

Garlin Ludovic / March 2019

This drawing was made from an Egyptian mural representation of the lion goddess Sekhmet, who provoked heat and deadly epidemics and eliminated the enemies of Ra, represented the destructive fury of the sun; from her lioness mouth the winds of the desert come out.

Italian shower raised by 10cm because of the drain pipes

Garlin Ludovic / 2018-2019

As a novice in this field, I started to rebuild my shower. Rather difficult task in the idea, I got through it pretty well with the help of several tutorials on Youtube. The longest was the cutting of the tiles. In conclusion: I did well not to invest in a circular saw but rather in a mini saw equipped with diamond discs because otherwise I would not have been able to cut the mosaic tiles that I put on the shower floor. It is necessary to put braces at the top of the tiles when you stop to finish the next day because the weight of the tiles brings them closer together, the result is a non-regular joint but it looks clean. To avoid splashes, I put up a glass brick wall that lets the light through (photo to come). I still have to do the finishing touches, strips for the tiles and the brick wall, and a shelf to store shower gels and shampoos.

Grzeszna namiętność

Dimash Kudaibergen / December 2018

Dimash is a Kazakh singer. He was born on May 24, 1994 in Aktiube, Kazakhstan. In 2017, he takes part in the Chinese TV show Singer 2017, broadcast on the Hunan Television2 channel. He finished second in the competition, which ends on April 15, 2017. His vocal and stage performances during this competition are particularly noticed on social networks and allow him to acquire an international reputation. With an impressive range (covering more than five octaves), he is particularly capable of moving from the pop to the lyrical register very quickly, of producing very complex melodies and vocal figures without apparent difficulty, and also masters the whistle voice, the highest register of the human voice.

Pollution of objects

Nicolas Boucher, Michel Lam / 2020

Since the beginning of time, Man has been looking for ways to save time. We spend a good part of our existence and our energy to find ways to go faster, to invent objects that allow us to save a few minutes, even a few seconds. But do these things we have invented really save us time? Do they really make our lives easier? Is it even scientifically possible to store time?

Ex.: elevator, microwave, highways, barcode, dishwasher, one-time cup, plastic container, shopping center.

An estimated 500 billion one-time plastic cups are used worldwide each year and trashed almost immediately after use. And guess where they end up? Landfills and oceans, mainly. Knowing that plastic cups take about 500 years to decompose in the environment, we've created a permanent mess. And plastic pollution isn't the only problem: According to an MIT study, each plastic cup is composed of about 3.2 grams of gasoline. By 2050, plastic could account for 20% of the world's oil production.

The big problem with plastic cups is that they are difficult to recycle. Surprisingly, only 1% of plastic cups enter a recycling process. This is why they have become such a big problem.
