How Long Is Plan B Good

A little comfort food, a bit of Shanghai, a little music

I do not know about you but I think this year especially the resumption week was difficult. For a long time now that many companies require their employees on the grounds that the economic situation is tough. And all this pressure constant for many months is beginning to weigh very heavily, with little satisfaction in return. I would one day hear that the economic situation is good, that we can hire more people, we can finally reflect on stress and daring things with the opportunity to grow without damage. One day maybe ...

So nothing like a Donna Hay recipe , Queen of Comfort Australian food to regain some tone. The original recipe is with turnips, but I preferred to use turnips golden ball at the beautiful yellow color and sweeter taste that lends itself well to being roasted.

pork with turnips and golden caramelized pears

Serves 2 2 large pork chops
type 2 firm pears conference
4 turnips golden ball
1 organic lemon

50g butter 1 tablespoon brown sugar
salt and freshly ground pepper Preheat


oven to 220 ° C. Wash and peel your turnips. Cut into slices not too large. Cut your pear into 4 without peeling. In a large bowl, put your turnips, your pears, sprinkle with half a lemon juice and tablespoon of water. Using your hands is easier, coat all the vegetables and fruit with lemon juice and sugar. When you mix well, put them in a baking dish, add the lemon half meter is not used in the dish and two pats of butter and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown the pork chops your skillet 2 minutes on each side is just for coloring. Halfway through cooking turnips, remove the pan, stir and place on top of your pork chops. Put in oven for 20 minutes reducing the oven to 200 ° C. Serve immediately.

In October last year I went to Shanghai and after the hotel URBN I did not see you yet spoken Shintori. If you plan to go to Shanghai do not hesitate one second, but fusion cuisine is largely oriented toward Japan. The place is huge and impressive.













A space while concrete, nothing superfluous, with a platform where the cooks who officiate in the Japanese greet anyone who enters. A long table of guests at the center and a sushi bar near the entrance can eat without having to wait for a table. Expat atmosphere. Up on the mezzanine tables to see and be seen (you can dine late and many expats come here to eat sushi). No place like this in France in excess. Too bad it has no equivalent in Paris.

The kitchen is not super original but it's very good: chicken teriyaki, tempura vegetables, fish carpaccio different ultra-fresh, a fondue which is immersed in a broth of thinly sliced beef (sukiyaki beef), vegetables, enoki mushrooms and tofu, and a sublime dessert: black sesame ice cream with a blank white sesame steam to die.

We also cracked twice during our stay to Mr Ms Bund, the restaurant of Paul Pairet, French chef who opens the hippest places in Shanghai. This is especially the lemon pie stratospheric made us come back twice. A long hollowed lemon confit and then filled with a lemon sorbet, a lemon curd whipped cream and a lemon with a strip of shortbread.

Finally, a little magic with this wonderful piece of Stunts, one of the best song of 2010 for me. In concert March 23 at Cafe de la Danse in Paris.

Now I'm lost, I lost the Way to go, I walk for miles, I talk for lees, loser ... Now I'm lost
I waste my time my days, I eat Sometimes I drink Some wine, winner ...

I'm a walker, walker, walker, walker.

Now I'm lost, I lost my words and my soul cards and keys, but not my name, walker

Now I'm lost, I waste my life away, Like a blank
that's my left I wonder

'm a walker, walker, walker, walker.
