LLRX’s Redesign Looks Great!

Tim Stanley & Co have rolled out a new design for LLRX, and personally I think it looks great! And a big ‘well done’ to Sabrina Pacifici for upgrading what was already a world class resource. Website launches and redesigns don’t get much press these days. There’s always a million issues to deal with, a ton of work involved, and not much thank-you. Well Sabrina - thank-you. :-)
LLRX has been my ‘old reliable’ for many years now. Whether it’s KM, intranets, legal research, marketing or technology topics, I count on LLRX to deliver the legal industry’s take on things. As we all should remind ourselves now and then: before blogs, there was LLRX.

Congrats to everyone involved.

The right step

The weather outside is really bad very windy and cloudy, good conditions to write for sure, but prepare a topic it’s always a difficult thing to do, if we not able to think after a hard days work, it happens to me too. However, when we have passion to write about the things we love, these problems disappear quickly. So, today I decided to write about an issue that it was brought to me by my colleague Sam, a crazy fan of backgammon. I know this is a little off-topic for this site, but I wanted to write more about this issue, he sent me an email last night to inform me that BackgammonMasters.com recently purchased Roman Greenberg’s boxing shorts for a hefty sum in an effort to help the young prospect make it to the top of the professional boxing ranks, the information was announced in a press release. Today, backgammon is still played widely in the Middle East and traditionally men play in coffee houses. Recently, there has been a move to play backgammon over the Internet, the antithesis of the social context of a men’s coffeehouse. I don’t know if you already heard about BackgammonMasters.com but is well known to backgammon players world over, but this latest press release is going to get them some serious attention from the international boxing community. BackgammonMasters has sponsored Greenberg since the beginning of his career and continues to support this talented young boxer, I’m glad to see big companies sponsoring athletics, it is always a good partnership. I hope to see in the future more incentives to athletics. BackgammonMasters gave the right step to support Greenberg dreams.

Browniebabe of the Month

When Myriam from the wonderful Once Upon a Tart first announced this event I knew that I just had to take part. Brownies are one of those classic items that everyone seems to love.

It might sound strange but I haven’t made that many brownies - they aren’t really part of Italian cuisine so I’ve been trawling the books trying to find one that appealed to me. I finally settled on one from Australian Gourmet Traveller’s Chocolate. I liked the fact that it used almond meal as this tends to give a moist result and rather than using nuts, it’s dotted with chunks of white chocolate.

brownies
Chocolate, Almond and White Chocolate Brownies
125 grams softened butter, cut into small cubes
110 grams caster sugar
2 eggs
55 grams ground almonds/almond meal
65 grams plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa
125 grams dark couverture chocolate, melted (I used 70% Callebaut)
110 grams white couverture chocolate, roughly chopped ( I used Lindt)

Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F and grease and line the base of a 20cm/8 inch square cake tin.

Sift the plain flour, baking powder and cocoa together and set to one side.

Place the softened butter and sugar into the bowl of a mixer and beat until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated before adding the next.

Sprinkle over with almond meal and fold through using a rubber spatula. Next add the sifted flour mixture and stir through.

Pour over the melted chocolate and mix this through before finally adding the white chocolate chunks.

Spoon this out evenly into your prepared pan - you may need to use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface.

Bake for about 40 minutes - the surface should be cooked but there should still feel springy to the touch.

Let it sit in the tin for about 5 minutes before moving it onto a wire rack to cool.

Cut into squares and serve.

The top is set with that slight crackling and the interior has that lovely chewy consistency that you expect with brownies.

Weekend Herb Blogging #80

Glenna from A Fridge Full of Food is our host for this edition of Weekend Herb Blogging.

This week I’m following on from last week and having a closer look at Capsicums or Bell Peppers

capsicum

Capsicums are a good source of Vitamin B9 and also contain Vitamins A, B1, B3, B6, C and K along with Iron and Manganese. Other benefits are associated with their particular colouring.

Green Capsicums contain lutein and zeaxanthin which help age-related eye problems, Orange Capsicums contain beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin which help reduce the risk of developing emphysema and lung cancer while Red Capsicums contain lycopene and beta-cryptoxane. Lycopene helps to reduce the chance of developing prostrate cancer as well as cervical, bladder and pancreatic cancers.

With the much anticipated and needed rain starting to fall I’ve decided to make a dish that is an autumn favourite in our house, the wonderfully flavoursome Peperonata.

Peperonata is basically a dish of stewed capsicums - slow cooked with onions and tomatoes, their innate sweetness concentrating over the long cooking time. It is one of the dishes I started to learn to make as a child, it’s actually a great dish to make with your children as you don’t have to be too pedantic over the slicing, a certain unevenness is actually preferred as it results in differing textures. I’d also add that the more variety in capsicum colours the better though for this batch I made even my green capsicums were predominately red.

Serve it hot as a side dish to just about any meat or if you have any leftovers, it’s just delicious cold in a sandwich or as a filling to an omelette.

Peperonata

3 medium red onions, sliced finely
1 kg assorted capsicums, cored and sliced lengthways
1 kg ripe roma tomatoes, cut into chunks (you can substitute Italian canned tomatoes)
freshly ground salt and black pepper

Heat a little olive oil and a knob of butter into a deep pan and when the butter has melted and started to sizzle add the onions.

Cook until they soften and are just starting to colour then add the sliced capsicums. Stir this well and continue to cook until the capsicums start to wilt then add the chopped tomatoes along with the salt and pepper. You might need to add a little water as you want the mix to be fairly wet - don’t worry it will evaporate but the end.

Let this cook in a gentle simmer for about 2 hours. If you find it’s too liquid then just increase the heat and let it boil off, but be careful as to not burn the peperonata.

peperonta

One of my favourite ways to enjoy this dish is quite simple - served over buttered rice with a generous sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano it’s some of the best comfort food you can have on those cold rainy days.
