Clair de lune (Debussy)

A wonderful interpretation. Good job, brother!

karma of a student 2.0

...and when shit happens someone tells you in some way that you deserve it!
That's not exactly the way or the surface meaning, but going deeply yes. 
I recently took the toefl test, unfortunately again: I cannot reach the notorious 100+. Can I say fuck? mmm, yes, it's my blog!
Anyway the pretext was the unsuccessful test, but the real fact is that I'm freaking out: I am really scared from the unknown of the next years, to move to another city another country another culture, to count only on me because I'm going to have no one beside me maybe for the next months. In my opinion that's the price I have to pay now. That's the karma of a student 2.0.
Yes, starting fresh, should be the motto..but how could I? I'm in a emotional outburst. The understanding is already a step forward, I hope.
I'm sorry,I cannot end this post properly. I am going to wallow in my grief. ;-)      

I deserve it! Stop.

How could I define this mood?

I'm trying not to be irascible today but the boredom doesn't help. It's a fucking no-day.

I might have something to do but I don't want to do it because I don't want to think about the next months. Oh life, please move fast-forward.

Lobster fregola

Oh Mother's day!

subtitle: the perfect excuse to have lobster

Sunday, the day of weekly reunion of the family. Today is accidentally the mother's day also. Two perfect pretexts to have a delicious, succulent lunch.

I've asked her to cook, but she literally kicked me out from the cookers.

So, I've had the only chance to take some photos.

The recipe

FREGOLA SARDA CON ARAGOSTA

Sardinian fregola with Mediterranean lobster

Ingredients:

Sardinian fregola: it's like couscous but a little bigger

Vegetable stock

Lobster

Extravergin olive oil

Onion/garlic

Tomato puree

Tomato paste

Saffron

Salt

Cayenne pepper

parsley 

Split the lobster in two part: the head and the tail. Just a tip: when you cut the tail in bite sized pieces it's important to do it  axially in round shapes to prevent it falling apart. The head it is relatively simple. Leave the tortoise shell intact and remove the inner part with a single pull movement. Cut with a sharp knife the inner part of the head in two vertically. Remove the legs.

Just a little shot of olive oil in a shallow pot with minced onion. When the became fragrant, put the pieces of the lobster and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are half-cooked.   

Remove the lobster except for the legs and leave it apart for later.

Add some vegetable stock and the saffron. 

This is the common package of fregola.

Drop the fregola into the pot and stir occasionally. Let it cook for around 15 minutes.

Complete the dish with a sprinkle of parsley.
