Panda Bread

Ingredients: 600g loaf (206 x 108 x100h)
230g bread flour
70g cake flour
30g sugar
milk + 1 yolk = 210g (I used skim milk)
4.5g salt
18g unsalted butter (I used 20g)
4g yeast
8g green tea powder dissolved in 10g boiling hot water
8g cocoa powder dissolved in 8g boiling water

Method:
1. Heat up milk and yolk to temperature of 38C. (I beat the yolk lightly with milk and send it to the microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds).
2. Put everything in bread machine and set to dough cycle. Let it knead for 20 minutes. Stop the cycle and restart the dough cycle and let it knead for another 15 minutes.
3. Divide dough (about 560g) into 3 parts: 75g for the chocolate, 210g plain and the rest of the dough which is less than 280g for the green tea.
4. Add chocolate to the 75g dough and knead till the colour is even. Add green tea mixture to the 280g dough and knead till colour is even. (I did this step manually).
5. Prove all 3 pieces of doughs on separate greased plates covered loosely with oiled cling wrap for 30 – 40 minutes.
6. Punch air out of dough and prove for another 20 – 30 minutes.
7. Use 90g plain dough for the face and 2 pieces of 27g chocolate dough for the eyes. (Refer to photo guide in Step (7) in TARO’s site).
8. Fill the hollow of the eyes with 30g plain dough. (Refer to photo guide in Step (8) in TARO’s site).
9. Roll remaining plain dough over the patterned dough. (Refer to photo guide in Step (9) in TARO’s site).
10. Divide the remaining chocolate dough into 2 pieces (17.5g each) for the ears. (Refer to photo guide in Step (10) in TARO’s site).
11. Use 70g of the green tea dough to fill up the hollow between the ears. (Refer to photo guide in Step (11) in TARO’s site).
12. Wrap the rest of the green tea dough all around the patterned dough. (Refer to photo guide in Step (12) in TARO’s site)
13. Place dough into a well-greased loaf pan and cover it with a lid and prove for 50 – 60 minutes in an enclosed area eg. microwave oven.
14. Bake at 200? for 25 – 30 minutes.

Notes:
1. This is not an exact translation of TARO’s recipe because I used the bread machine to help me so the first few steps might be different from TARO’s.
2. For Step (12), I did not wrap the green tea dough all around the patterned dough. Compare my finished product to that of TARO’s, you can see the difference.
3. My first prove is 60 minutes, 2nd prove is 30 minutes and final prove is 60 minutes.
4. I bake at 185C for 25 – 30 minutes.

The original recipe is from an Asian website called Taro Taro (which features a photo gallery of user submitted panda bread!)

prelucrare

Am pus la fiert o cutie de rigatoni Barilla, intr-o tigaie am calit in ulei de masline extravirgin niste ceapa verde, peste care am pus apoi carne tocata de vita.
Doua minute mai tarziu am adaugat si sosul de rosii, peste care am pus usturoi (tot verde, ), am amestecat si am lasat sa se odihneasca.
Intre timp, pastele au fiert. Le-am scos si le-am scurs de apa, am luat o forma de prajitura cu fundul detasabil si am uns-o cu unt. In ea am asezat apoi pastele vertical. Cand am umplut tava, am inceput sa umplu si pastele ca niste tuburi cu carnea de vita in sos de rosii care intre timp era gata.
Acestea fiind zise, am pus peste niste felii de mozzarela deasupra, si am bagat la cuptor... ...cam zece minute

frangipane

Familia: Apocynaceae
Aspect: Arbust, copacel
Perioada de inflorire: Iunie-septembrie
Expunere: Plina lumina, penumbra
Udare: Medie

Are frunze lungi si flori in forma de palnie, foarte parfumate, de culoare alba cu putin galben in centru.

Cultivare:In aprilie se planteaza intr-un pamant special pentru flori, asezandu-se la baza vasului un strat de cioburi. Primavara si vara trebuie sa i se asigure lumina puternica, udare regulata si abundenta, adaugandu-se la fiecare3 saptamani un ingrasmant lichid in apa de udat, si mentinerea unei temperaturi cuprinse intre 24-29 °C.

Reproducere:Se planteaza butasii intr-o rasadnita, intr-un compost alcatuit din turba si nisip in parti egale, care se mentine umed, la umbra si la o temperatura de 21-24 °C.

Pericole:Temperaturile scazute, apa insuficienta sau in abundenta si expunerea prea indelungata la soare sunt daunatoare. Cosenilele brune si fainoase se combat prin ulei alb iarna sau prin alcool denaturat in celalalte anotimpuri.

Breaking the Silence

"There’s a very clear and powerful connection between how much time you
serve in the territories and how fucked in the head you get. If someone is
in the territories half a year, he’s a beginner, they don’t allow him into the
04 interesting places, he does guard-duty, he’s not the one to… all he does is just
grow more and more bitter, angry. The more shit he eats, from the Jews and
the Arabs and the army and the state, they call that numbness but I don’t…
maybe it’s a heightening of the senses, like getting drunk… because serving
in the territories isn’t about numbness, it’s a “high,” a sort of negative high:
you’re always tired, you’re always hungry, you always have to go to the
bathroom, you’re always scared to die, you’re always eager to catch that
terrorist. It’s a life without rest. Even when you sleep, you don’t sleep well.
I don’t remember even once sleeping well in Hebron. At home I’d arrive,
fall asleep, get up—wow, that was some sleep! It doesn’t need to be a long
sleep. It’s simply an experience that no human being should have. It fucks
with your head. It’s the experience of a hunted animal, a hunting animal, of
an animal, whatever…"

Tisha B’Av

http://judaism.about.com
Tisha B’Av, also known as “The Ninth of Av,” is a fast day that commemorates the destruction of the two Temples. It falls on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av, which usually coincides with late July or mid-August on the secular calendar.

A Tragic Day In Jewish History
The First Temple was built by King Solomon and was the most important place in ancient Judaism. It was destroyed when the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E. The Second Temple was built on the site of the First Temple and was completed in 516 B.C.E. Sadly, the Second Temple was also destroyed, this time during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. The destruction of the two Temples took place on the same day – the ninth of Av - about 656 years apart. These two events were so tragic that the ancient rabbis declared the anniversary of the Temples’ destruction a day of mourning. This is the origin of Tisha B'Av.

The ninth of Av also happens to be the day that Jews were expelled from England in 1290, as well as the day that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled the Jews from Spain in 1492. Other tragedies have occurred on this day too. Any way you look at it, the ninth of Av has not been a good day for the Jewish people.

The Three Weeks
Tisha B’Av occurs in the Hebrew month of Av, but in a way it begins during the preceding month of Tammuz. On the 17th of Tammuz in 70 C.E. the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem, then spent the next three weeks ransacking the city until the Second Temple was burned on the ninth of Av. In remembrance of this event Jews fast on the 17th of Tammuz and observe a time of mourning during the three weeks leading up to Tisha B’Av. No weddings are permitted during this period.

The Nine Days
The Talmud says that “From the beginning of Av, we diminish happiness” (Mishnah Ta’anit 4:6). In keeping with this sentiment, the last nine days of “the three weeks” become increasingly mournful as observant Jews refrain from a number of prohibited activities. For instance, during these nine days Jews are not supposed to cut their hair or shave. This custom hearkens back to ancient times when a person showed they were in mourning by allowing their hair to grow.

During “the nine days” many Jews refrain from drinking wine, eating meat or participating in activities meant to be entertaining. Going to the movies, dancing or going out to a fancy dinner are examples of such pleasurable pastimes. According to the Talmud, Jews are not supposed to wash their clothes during this period either, because wearing clean clothes is an enjoyable experience. The purpose of all these prohibitions is to help people feel like true mourners by the time Tisha B’Av comes around on the ninth of Av.

Customs On Tisha B’Av
Tisha B’Av is a full fast day, meaning that no food or drink can be consumed from one evening to the next. Pregnant women, nursing mothers and those who are severely ill are not allowed to participate in the fast because doing so would endanger their health. Observant Jews also refrain from bathing, wearing make-up or leather shoes (both symbols of luxury) or having sexual relations. Work is permitted on Tisha B’Av.

Synagogue services on Tisha B’Av are an emotional experience. During the evening service the book of Lamentations – a somber text about the destruction of the First Temple and the siege of Jerusalem - is read aloud, punctuated by sobs and wails from the congregation. Because people are in mourning, they don’t greet each other at the synagogue and they sometimes sit on the floor instead of in seats. The following day, during the morning service, men continue to express their sorrow by refraining from wearing tefillin.
