'WichCraft's cucumber soup

Last summer, I survived the heat with 'wichcraft's cucumber soup. I had never had or had never thought of having chilled cucumber soup until I tried it for the first time @ 'wichcraft.
I tried to replicate it at home with no success, a yogurty mess was in my garbage within seconds of my last stir.

When I met with one of 'wichcraft's owners a few weeks ago, I asked for the recipe. I have been working on the guy for months. I finally got what I wanteds and it called for 40 lbs of cucumbers! He told me to use a baker's formula to convert it to a regular @ home recipe....played with the calculator & an excel spreadsheet and ended up giving up. So I went to my facebook friend, Norene Gilletz, and asked her how to bring the recipe down to a normal home sized amount....she said divide by 4 and then half it..

I did it nervously cause my self esteem couldn't handle another mess up.

Good thing it tasted exactly like 'wichcraft on try #2!

'WichCraft's Cucumber Soup
Serves 5-6 people

5 lbs seedless & peeled cucs
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups olive oil (I ran out of olive oil at 2/3 cup and didn't taste a difference...)
1 1/2 garlic cloves
1 lb (16 oz) low fat plain yogurt
dried oregano
peppercino (I used crushed red pepper)
kosher salt & ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup red onion, julienned
1/4 cup carrots, julienned

Blend with an immersion blender & chill. Perfect for company- all you have to do is take it out!
Thanks to the fine people @ 'wichcraft for sharing their secret.

Check out this real ‘interesting’ LED Faceless Watch

I was looking for a luxury watch for my bf and came across this really interesting LED watch designed by Hironao Tsuboi. The ‘interesting’ thing about this LED watch is that it is faceless.

Though it may seem like any ordinary silver segmented bracelet but you won’t find it difficult to check time on it as it has LED powered hour and minute digits which light up across some segments of the silver bracelet.

Measuring W-97 x D-81 x H-60, this LED Faceless Watch is available in Black, Silver and Ultra Marine. As far as the price is concerned I am still trying to figure out!!

Charna’s Tomato and Basil Spaghetti Squash

The first time I ate Spaghetti Squash, I hated it. Odd consistency and tasted like a water logged noodle. In my opinion, it was a wanna-be carb that would never be approved by Chef Boyardee. I held my ground and refused to eat it - that's until I was invited over to my friend Charna’s house and guess what was being served as the main dish? Now Charna can cook, so with a bit of hesitation and being the polite guest that I am - I indulged. Wow. That's all I need to say.


If Charna’s creation wasn’t convincing enough, the next factoids might have you making this recipe sooner then you thought. Spaghetti Squash has been coined the “dieter's dream” since a a four-ounce serving of spaghetti squash has only 37 calories. Spaghetti squash contains many nutrients including folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, and beta carotene.

Spaghetti Squash can be stored at room temperature for about a month - buy it, forget it about it and voila, just when you think that you’re all out of groceries and that you might need to order in....Spaghetti Squash to the rescue.

Last but not least, if you’re celebrating passover, this is a great carb substitute that won’t leave you feeling icky (sorry I couldn’t be more eloquent and refined).


Ingredients
serves 4

1 Spaghetti Squash

1 Package of Chopped Fresh Basil

2 Packages of Cherry Tomatoes or Grape Tomatoes Halved
1 small block of Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 diced Yellow Onion (Charna doesnt use an onion)
3 Cloves of Crushed Garlic
2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Directions

Clean spaghetti squash and then cut it in half length wise and discard of the seeds and the membrane. 

In a glass baking dish arrange the squash halves, cut side down and pour 1/4 cup water around it. Cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the squash at high power (100%) for 12 minutes, or until it is soft when pressed, and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes.

To prepare the tomato sauce, use a stock pot on the top of the stove at a medium temperature. Cover the base of a stock pot with 1-3 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and add the crushed garlic, chopped yellow onions and the tomatoes and cook for 8 minutes with the lid on. Cook the onions until they are translucent and the tomatoes become mushy, add the chopped fresh basil, salt and pepper and continue to cook the sauce covered for another 8 minutes. Stir the tomatoe sauce continuously and keep an eye out to make sure that it doesn’t burn.

Turn off the stove, add the Spaghetti Squash to the tomato sauce in the stock pot while it is still hot and add the crumbled feta cheese. Stir it all together, Serve and Enjoy!

This shoe may be engineered in China but mind you it doesn’t come cheap. I am talking about the Nike Sportwear 1 World AF1 by Maharam Limited Edition which is created from Layers, a textile which has been developed by Maharam Design Studio and Hella Jongerius. Layers has been woven in Italy and was sent to Germany for embroidery work.

You must understand that Nike Air Force 1 has evolved with the help of Mahram.

It retails for $250.I must say comfort certainly comes at a price!!
