Shrimps and broccoli curry

This is the picture of the dish I made yesterday night for dinner. I love Asian food and I also love to cook it.
For this recipe I took inspiration from the Kerala style fish curry, that is more liquid and a bit less spicy. The perfect fish for this recipe is the Red Snapper, that is not popular at all here in Italy, so, as I couldn't find a good substitute for the Red Snapper and as Tiger Shrimps were on special offer, I used them.

2012...here you are!

I have been waiting for 2012 for so long and now that it has come..I just don't care any more :)

I've been very busy in the past months, I've been away from home too, but I was also missing this blog..so here we are with the first 2012 post.
In the picture there's one of my cupcakes...I'm trying and inventing several recipes, for this one I used MASCARPONE for the icing instead of butter, well to me it was delicious!!!

ACID NEON ADDICTION

These pieces are supposed to be vintage lucite pendants. I'm not sure about their age, but I must admit that they remind me Jem and the Holograms...so I can't wait to use, and maybe this time to wear (I wear my stuff almost never!)These colors and shapes are just amazing...I will buy a lot more of these pendants :)

Feather headband




Once I used to have an unlikable phobia for feathers, and I used to think that they bring bad luck. Now that I've overtaken my fears, I'm using feather for my new hair accessories...here's my first feather headband!

Coming soon: mad hatter tea neklace :)

Necklace made with laser cut acrylic pendant, Japanese doll's miniatures with original Disney's design, glass beads, plastic beads,natural opaline rondelle

I'm wondering what's about that..

I took this picture during the vernissage of the Venice Biennale. It was June. This is an artwork of Urs Fisher, under the title "Illuminations". His work involves three 1:1 sized wax candle sculptures. The figures are self-destruct during the show.  In the picture you can see just 2 of the 3 candles, the third is (was?) an office's chair.
The impressive reproduction of "Il ratto delle Sabine" of Giambologna is probably still burning, by the way it was a 4 meters tall candle, but the "candle man"...?What's about it?I think it's over and I'm in some way sorry for that :(

Two months after visiting the Biennale I'm still thinking about what I saw and changing my mind every day about which was the best work exhibited, this is one of my fav so far, Urs Fisher is a great artist that perfectly understood how to deal with a temporary ad monumental event like the Biennale of Art: make something great, make something that goes along harmoniously with the space, make something that will wear out during the event. Great!
