Cheese: King Island Dairy

For this next cheese I’m heading back to King Island and featuring a featuring a new product from their Discovery line: King Island Dairy Discovery Brie Rolle

Brie Rolle

It’s a Brie but presented in an unusual way - as a long roll

It still has that traditional covering of white mould shielding a butter-coloured interior

slice of Brie Rolle

This hasn’t been out of the fridge for very long and it’s still a few weeks away from being fully ripe so it is firm but there are hints of a creamy interior visible .

It’s evident that it’s been designed to fit neatly on a cracker, even so, it shouldn’t be dismissed on the basis of a marketing ploy. I found the cheese to be quite rich with excellent levels of fat that give you that enjoyable creaminess in the mouth. The rind is delicately flavoured with earthy scents.

Since King Island Dairy is a larger brand, you should be able to find this at larger supermarkets.

Bidu shares closed just a little above the 13 dma, so tomorrow pay attention for a possible breakdown below this level, which would mean a sentiment Bearish in the short term.

I will make great barbecues

I’m spending more time at home these days, so this summer I have planned purchase an outdoor fireplace for my patio, to complement the decoration and give a new look to my garden too. Actually my patio has a lot of free space, so this kind of decoration could make some sense for the perfect place to stay and enjoy days with family and friends, making some good barbecues. After a quick search through the web, I’ve found a great place to purchase my outdoor fireplace, called MantelsDirect.com. They offer a diversity of options perfect for barbecues, with high-quality. I just found here what I’m looking for, after browsed through their largest selection of outdoor patio fireplace products. I think I’ll get a great summer making excellent barbecues, my outdoor place will turn my patio into a spot for spending time with family and entertaining friends. You are inviting to come, do you want?

First Solar and Motorola in focus

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

First Solar stock has broken out to all time highs. Shares rose more than 8% to 120.28$ today. This stock has been trading in a range since midlle of July and today just broke out on good volume. The stock opened way to make new highs tomorrow.
Chart courtesy of stockcharts
Motorola shares were up only 0.02$ or 0.12% to $16.97 after JMP Securities analyst Samuel Wilson upgraded the stock to “Market Perform” from “Market Underperform “, based on the Lower Stock Price. Since 19 July stock have tumbled nearly 6% and last week shares breakdown the major support of $17.25, so this flat movement in my opinion is only natural bounce based on the oversold conditions. I wouldn’t consider MOT as a buy until it breaks above the $17.25$ - $17.27 price range.

Bread Baking Day #2

I was quite slack and left it too late to take part in the first Bread Baking Day so when Becke from Columbus Foodie announced fruit as the theme ingredient I made sure to have something ready in time.

I’ve delved into the pages of Quick Breads by Liz Franklin and pulled out a very simple golden raisin and sultana bread. I have doubled the quantity of fruit as 100 grams seemed very austere for a loaf of this size and personally, I think fruit breads should be full of fruit.

An extra crunch was also added in the form of pearl sugar that I just sprinkled over the loaf before it went into the oven. Here in Melbourne, you can find Pearl Sugar at the Essential Ingredient.

bread

Golden Raisin and Sultana Bread

350 grams self-raising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
50 grams raw caster sugar
100 grams natural sultanas
100 grams golden raisins
2 tablespoons golden syrup
300mls milk
pearl sugar, for topping

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F - butter and flour a loaf pan (2lb/900g/8cup capacity) and line it with baking paper.

Place the milk and golden syrup into a pan and gently heat until amalgamated.

Sift the flour and baking powder together and place into a bowl along with the caster sugar and fruit. Stir this to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.

Make a well in the centre of the bowl and pour in the milk mixture - stir until the mixture has just combined, try not to overwork it.

Pour this into the prepared pan - flatten the top and then sprinkle with pearl sugar.

Bake for about 50 minutes or until the loaf has risen and is golden - check it after 30 minutes and if it appears to be browning too quickly, then cover with foil and lower the temperature of the oven.

Let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.

sliced

When freshly made, serve in thick slices with butter or your favourite spread. This also makes excellent toast.
