Açúcar, tempero...
Pois é, a necessidade de revitalizar o DB se faz cada vez mais urgente. Enquanto eu arranco os cabelos de frustração e me pergunto o que fazer com isso aqui enquanto eu me torno mais e mais concisa, me acostumando a reduzir minhas idéias a 140 caracteres
damn you, Twitter!, decidi voltar às origens desse blog...
E postar um monte de testes, inúteis mas divertidos.
Pra coisa não ficar mais tosca e aleatória do que já é, decidi escolher temas e falar um pouquinho sobre eles antes de postar os testes.
O de hoje é
doces e sobremesas!
Eu admito. Amo chocolates (sou chocólatra), amo doces, embora nem sempre tenha sido assim... Quando eu era pequena, torcia o nariz pro brigadeiro nas festinhas. Adorava as coxinhas e salgadinhos. Aí depois dos 11 anos mais ou menos começou a mania de doce. Até bem pouco tempo atrás, eu tinha necessidade de comer chocolate depois do almoço, nem que fosse uma colher de Nescau!
Eu também adoro bolos decorados. Morro de vontade de aprender a fazer, é incrível o que algumas pessoas conseguem construir só com açúcar, farinha e alguns outros ingredientes.

Sim, isso é um BOLO. Mais obras de arte culinárias lá no Pink Cake BoxNão me venham usar as palavras "dieta", "calorias" e "glicose" nos comentários, ok?

(Esse do muffin eu achei que não teve muito a ver comigo, mas... :P)
Pra quem é louco por açúcar como eu e passau vontade com todos esses testes culinários, aí vai uma receita maravilhosa de cupcakes que encontrei no
Receita Perfeita e que ficou ótima a despeito de ser a primeira vez que eu fazia bolinhos (da massa à cobertura) sozinha, sem usar mistura pronta nem nada:
Cupcake ou Bolo de Chocolate com Glacê de Chocolate
Rendimento: ±24 cupcakes
Ingredientes
Massa:
1 e 3/4 xícara de farinha de trigo
1/3 xícara de chocolate em pó
1 e 1/2 colheres (chá) de fermento em pó
1 colher (chá) de bicarbonato
1/2 colher (chá) de sal
1/2 xícara de óleo
1/4 xícara de manteiga sem sal, amolecida
1 xícara de açúcar
1 colher (chá) de essência de baunilha
3 ovos grandes
1 xícara de chocolate meio amargo, derretido
1 xícara de buttermilk*
Glacê:
2/3 xícara de açucar
1/3 xícara de farinha
3 colheres (sopa) de chocolate em pó
1/8 colher (chá) de sal
1 xícara de leite
1 xícara de manteiga sem sal, amolecida
1 xícara de chocolate meio amargo, derretido
Preparo
Pré-aqueça o forno a 180°C. Unte ou forre forminhas de muffin.
Peneire os ingredientes secos juntos. Numa tigela, bata o óleo, a manteiga, o açucar e a baunilha até ficar cremoso, cerca de 2 minutos. Acrescente os ovos, um a um, e bata. Junte o chocolate derretido e bata até incorporar. Em velocidade baixa acrescente a mistura de ingredientes secos, alternando com o buttermilk e bata até misturar bem, cerca de 2 a 3 minutos.
Divida a massa nas forminhas e asse por 20-25 minutos, ou até que o teste do palito saia limpo.
Para o glacê, coloque numa panela o açucar, a farinha, o chocolate me pó, o sal e o leite e deixe ferver, mexendo sempre. Ferva por 1 minuto ou até engrossar. Retire do fogo e passe o glacê numa peneira. Leve para esfriar na geladeira
Enquanto isso bata a manteiga até ficar cremosa, cerca de 1 minuto. Acrescente o “mousse” de chocolate e misture até incorporar, cerca de 1 minuto. Acrescente o chocolate derretido e bata até ficar cremoso e fofo, cerca de 2 minutos. Cubra os cupcakes com o glacê com a ajuda de um saco de confeitar ou com uma colher.
*Receitinha relâmpago de buttermilk:
Para cada xícara de buttermilk que a receita pedir, coloque 1 colher (sopa) de suco de limão ou vinagre branco em um recipiente graduado, e acrescente leite até completar uma xícara. Deixe descansar por cerca de 10 minutos antes de usar.Fica uma delícia! Super fofinho, além do glacê ser uma das coisas mais gostosas que eu já comi na vida!
Quem fizer, diga o que achou aqui ;)
Marcadores: testes, ursinho tédio
Normalidade tem gosto de papelão
Rotina não tem sabor. Não tem gosto bom. Tem gosto de papelão, que nem aqueles biscoitos cream craker que ficam no pacote por tempo demais.
Eu continuo bloqueada. Não consigo mais escrever aqui, não sei por que. Nada de interessante acontece. Eu poderia falar sobre faculdade, mas estranhamente não tenho vontade. Agora que acabou a escola, as coisas simplesmente sossegaram mais.
...Aaah! Hoje comi um cheeseburger duplo. Como eu não costumo comer sanduíches de duas camdas, isso É um acontecimento.
Então, pra espantar o tédio, aí vão mais alguns daqueles testes sem utilidade mas que são tão, tão divertidos!

Lições da vida...
Então hoje eu fui ajudar minha mãe a selecionar as cartinhas para o projeto Papai Noel dos Correios.
Não sei se ele existe em outros estados, ou se é só aqui da DR/BA, mas basicamente ele se trata de um projeto onde cartinhas que crianças enviam para o Papai Noel são lidas, selecionadas e colocadas à disposição dos clientes da agência central pra serem adotadas, e assim ter o seu desejo atendido. É um projeto muito bonito, e só esse ano já foram cadastradas no sistema aproximadamente oito mil cartinhas de crianças que vêm pedir uma chance de ter seu sonho realizado, ou até mesmo suas necessidades básicas atendidas.
É muito bonito, e ao mesmo tempo muito triste... só quem lê todas as cartinhas pode ver a dimensão disso. Tem muitas que pedem biclicletas, brinquedos, videogames, claro. Mas também tem algumas que pedem roupas, cestas básicas, material escolar, emprego pros pais, ou até mesmo moradia. Dói no coração da gente. Dói mais por saber que emprego e casa são coisas que Papai Noel não pode dar, mas a gente atende do jeito que consegue.
Eu e minha mãe adotamos uma cartinha. Era linda, linda... uma menina de dez anos, que escreveu com todo o amor, contando a vidinha dela toda. Agradeceu o presente que recebeu no ano anterior (quem alguma vez já se lembrou de agradecer ao velho e bom Papai Noel? Eu me senti até mal, porque quando era pequena nunca sequer pensei nisso), e contou que o ano dela tinha sido muito difícil. Disse seus problemas, mas no fim disse que ainda assim é feliz, porque tem uma família que a ama muito.
Eu e minha mãe choramos. Dói muito no coração da gente.
---------------------------------------------
Hoje foi um daqueles dias em que eu aprendi uma das lições da vida.
A lição da vida de hoje foi:
"
Com sonhos de criança não se brinca, porque eles são uma das últimas coisas genuinamente puras e bonitas do mundo."
---------------------------------------------
Tenho até vergonha de quebrar o clima do post de hoje... Mas são só
três quatro, eu juro!
| You Are Rudolph |
 Sweet and shy, you tend to be happiest when you're making someone else happy.
Why You're Naughty: You sometimes stick that nose where it doesn't belong
Why You're Nice: Christmas would be a sad affair without you! |
| You Belong in Amsterdam |
 A little old fashioned, a little modern - you're the best of both worlds. And so is Amsterdam. Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city). |
(Não, Amsterdan NÃO! X____X)
| You are a 1960s Diva |
 Bold dresses, funky boots, bright patterns. You have an eye for fashion - and make trends timeless! |
(Waaaah, adorei isso! *__* Sou louca louca louca pelos 60's, 70's e 80's =9)
| You Are 69% Tortured Genius |
 You are smart. Brilliant in fact. And while it's a blessing, it's also a curse. Your head is filled with everything - grand ideas, insufferable worries, and a good deal of angst. |
Marcadores: filosofia, random, testes
Mais um...
... daqueles posts bobos (ainda que divertidos, admito) cheios de testes.
Essa é minha personalidade. Divirtam-se! <3
| Who Should Paint You: Andy Warhol |
 You've got an interested edge that would be reflected in any portrait You don't need any fancy paint techniques to stand out from the crowd! |
E viva a pop art!
| You Are 74% Creative |
 You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times. |
| You Should Be an Artist |
 You are incredibly creative, spontaneous, and unique. No one can guess what you're going to do next, but it's usually something amazing. You can't deal with routine, rules, or structure. You're easily bored. As long as you are able to innovate and break the rules, you are extremely successful.
You do best when you:
- Can work by yourself - Can express your personality in your work
You would also be a good journalist or actor. |
| You Are An Introvert! |
 You're not necessarily anti-social, but you do tend to need a lot of alone time. You tend to think before you talk, which doesn't make you the loudest person in the room. While you aren't outgoing, you are a good listener - and you tend to be a loyal friend. And you enjoy your friends as much as any extrovert does, in smaller doses. You're more of a conversation over dinner type than a party animal... and so are all your friends. |
| You Are a Visual Learner |
 You tend to remember what you see, and you have a good eye for aesthetics. You excel at art, design, and computer programming. You would be an excellent film director - or the next Bill Gates! |
| Your Brain's Pattern |
 Your mind is a multi dimensional wonderland, with many layers. You're the type that always has multiple streams of though going. And you can keep these thoughts going at any time. You're very likely to be engaged in deep thought - and deep conversation. |
| You Are Totally Like Your Mom |
 You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you. |
| The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic |
 Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.
Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski |
Um filme cult? o__o Tá bom... Logo eu, que não suporto filme que queima meus neurônios...
| You Need Some Purple in Your Life |
 Purple will make you feel ambitious, independent, and creative. And with a little purple, you will project an aura of individuality. If you want more extravagance, you've got to get a little purple in your life!
For extra punch: Combine purple with green or orange
The downside of purple: It can evoke sad feelings
The consequences of more purple in your life:
You will feel an increase in your artistic abilities You will find balance in the most chaotic parts of your life You will feel calm and will be hard to disturb |
| Your Hair Should Be Purple |
 Intense, thoughtful, and unconventional. You're always philosophizing and inspiring others with your insights. |
Minha mãe não concorda... XDD
| Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino |
 Smooth and sweet, you fit in to almost any crowd. No one would suspect you of being a coffee tweaker! |
| You Are Cereal |
 Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day. (In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.) Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food. Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance. |
Oba! x9 <33
E pra finalizar, um teste mais natalino!
| You Are an Angel |
 A truly giving soul, you understand the spirit of Christmas. |
Se não tiverem nada melhor pra fazer, respondam e divirtam-se!
