Lapte din fulgi de ovaz/Oatmeal milk

lapte de ovaz crud

Ce te faci când ai puțin timp la dispoziție, ai mânca ceva dar din tot ce ai în frigider, practic toate îți fac rău? Nu că ar fi cine știe ce preparate sofisticate, cu carne de porc sau cine știe ce grăsimi. Nu, doar lactate. Dar alea îmi fac rău. Încerc să evit pe cât se poate consumul brânzei de vaci în stare pură și nu mănânc prea des iaurturi, lapte de vacă în orice fel sau brânza telemea. De ce? Pentru că ma simt rau după ce le consum. Așa că am încercat să găsesc o alternativă la consumul preparatelor din lactate de vacă.
Momentan, mă delectez cu un lapte din fulgi de ovăz. Am încercat în două feluri, dar doar unul m-a mulțumit: laptele crud. Și anume...

Lapte din fulgi de ovăz

Ingrediente:
  • o cană și jumătate de fulgi de ovăz mici
  • 5 căni apă
  • două linguri cu fulgi de cocos
  • un sfert de linguriță cu sare 
Varianta crudă (pe care am reușit să o consum eu).

Fulgii se pun la înnmuiat într-o oală cu apa, fulgii de cocos și sarea. Se lasă aproximativ 8 ore sau peste noapte la rece (eu am pus la înmuiat la ora 22.15 si am lăsat până la ora 18 când am ajuns acasă). Se pasează cu un blender, se strece printr-o strecurătoare deasă sau prin tifon și se servește imediat sau se introduce la rece într-o sticlă.
Se consumă ca atare, cu cacao, miere, scorțișoară...ce doriți.

primul pahar este cu lapte de ovaz fiert si cel din fundal cu lapte crud

Varianta fiartă (pe care am încercat-o dar nu mi-a plăcut).

Fulgii se pun la fiert cu apa și sarea, se fierb 5-10 minute, se acoperă cu o farfurie și se lasă să se răcească. Se pasează cu blenderul, se trece prin strecurătoare și se utilizează la fel ca prima variantă.

NU mi-a plăcut varianta fiartă căci, indiferent câtă apă adaugi, tot gros este laptele și are un gust...aiurea.

Din încercarea ambelor variante m-am ales și cu niște rămășițe din care am făcut fursecuri...pe care am uitat să le pozez....data viitoare :D

Prima tigara de dimineata poate ucide/The first cigarette in the morning can kill!

The first cigarette in the morning can kill!

The first cigarette in the morning can kill!
People who smoke in the morning, have a higher cancer risk than those who ignites later, according to scientists from the U.S..
New research has shown unexpected danger : how soon after you wake up will you have your first cigarette is more important than that "vyhulíte" for the day. has been shown is the actual depth dependence , which means that together dostanemete much more harmful substances.

Wait at least an hour!

Studies from Penn State College of Medicine, worked with data from 7610 smokers (lung cancer, even without it) and was published in the journal Cancer.
Evidenced in it that anyone who smokes after awakening, has a higher probability of malignant lung disease . While this phenomenon  does not depend on other circumstances smoking. Thus, neither the total number smoked "death sticks".
Patients who inhale the smoke was just half an hour of waking, have a 79% higher probability that they will develop lung cancer than those who make their first sip of fragrant smoke, wait at least an hour .

The risk increases steeply

Cigarette within 30 minutes after waking doubles the already high risk of cancer, therefore, warn experts. Previous studies have come to the game that quick morning smokers have increased by 59% likely to get cancer of the head or neck .
The head of research Dr Joshua Muscari to the same journal adds: "These smokers have higher levels in the body jednovatého nicotine and perhaps other tobacco poisons, and apparently are more dependent than those who give up a cigarette afterwards."
Apparently, so the sooner you light the smoker,  the more it gets itself into nicotine.

More and more

It is because time is reduced when one do not breathe smoke, while the extension of the time smoking , increases the number of cigarettes consumed.
"The more, of course, increase the doses of chemicals that cause cancer. The more that those who smoke it this early, they tend more Slukova," he explained to Professor Robert West of the UK Institute for Cancer Research Cancer Research University.
Along with nicotine, they get into the body and dozens of other hazardous substances - were still in cigarette smoke analyzed for the four thousand . "So we get a better idea of actual Tobacco Addiction than by the number of cigarettes smoked daily, recalls Professor West.

Pictura pierduta a lui Leonardo da Vinci/ The lost painting of Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo's lost masterpiece would be a new (and secular) Last Supper

If any painting survives behind this Florence fresco, it is almost certainly The Battle of Anghiari

Leonardo da Vinci's painting The Battle of Anghiari was his greatest work: a fearsome, disturbing vision of war. It was the only time he got commissioned to do a painting whose dark, dissonant theme allowed him to translate the strange images of grotesque faces and machines of war that proliferate in his notebooks into the grandeur of a mural. Even though it vanished from sight centuries ago, it still has the power to haunt and fascinate.
After decades of searching, the art investigator Maurizio Seracini and his team have apparently found a cavity behind one of six huge history paintings by Giorgio Vasari that today dominate the great hall of the Palazzo Vecchio in the heart of Florence, where Leonardo left his battle unfinished in 1506. On a deeper layer of the wall protected by the cavitythey say there are traces of paint, including a black used by Leonardo in the Mona Lisa.
This is incredibly exciting, for the simple reason that if any wall painting survives behind Vasari's works it is, almost certainly, The Battle of Anghiari. It is hard to imagine what other picture it could be. So if these fragments of colour turn out to prove the existence of a painting, that painting is probably Leonardo's lost work.
Sceptics have been wrong-footed. Art historian Tomaso Montanari, who led a campaign against this intrusive research, has been quoted as saying "anything from that era could be painted on that wall". What does he mean? Who else apart from Leonardo decorated this room? No other wall painting is recorded here before Vasari did his repaint job.
This hall was built in the 1490s at the behest of the preacher Savonarola. It was not honoured with any frescoes until Leonardo was commissioned in 1503 to begin his battle picture. After he left it unfinished, no other wall paintings are recorded until the middle of the 16th century, when Vasari, court artist to Cosimo I de' Medici, remade the room.
Even the colours that have apparently been found – black, brown, and a red laqueur – fit what is known of Leonardo's battle painting. If it is him, the traces will not be of proper fresco, for Leonardo didn't do fresco – he experimented with a method more like oil painting. For that and other reasons The Battle of Anghiari is not likely to be in great condition.
But a Leonardo is a Leonardo. This one exerts a terrific pull on the imagination even though we can only look at tiny preparatory drawings. The original would be a new (and secular) Last Supper. This might just be the most important hole in a wall since the one Howard Carter looked through to see the treasures of King Tut.
