Help, Popeye! Save me! I want to make something healthy, fast and nutritious.
“Where is the entrance to the exit” – Popeye yells.
Well, my kitchen – I yell back.
Let’s do it! I’am strong to the finich, ’cause I eats me Spinach, I’m Popeye the sailor man! (toot,toot).
Now, my dear virtual friends let’s make what our famous Popeye is suggesting. It is called the Breakfast Protein Bites.
These cute little bites are ideal for families on the go, for your Sunday breakfast or if you want to have an easy protein bites for busy weekday mornings.
Now, Popeye is getting all ingredients.
The first and the most important …can you guess is….
Other ingredients are:
Using a medium nonstick skillet add 1 TBSP olive olive, swirl to coat. Add 1/8 cup diced onion, saute until almost tender. (2-3 min)
Add 1 1/4 cup chopped spinach, saute 1 min, stirring constantly.
Cool for 5 min. Add 1/3 cup ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 diced red pepper. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl combine 4 eggs, 1/8 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Stir in cheese mixture.
Your mixture will look like…see the picture below


Bake for 30 min at 350 F. After 1/2 hour open your oven, take a picture and enjoy. Do you see your bites puffed and set.
Secret: They will deflate slightly as they cool.

ENJOY!
Oh, Popeye! YOU SAVED ME AND ALL MY READERS! I miss you.
“That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more.” ― Popeye said to me all of sudden.Oh, Popeye – I try in my best Olive Oyl voice.
“Where is the entrance to the exit” – Popeye ignores my flirting voice. I am ready to exit this virtual reality.
Oh, but I am all about family – I try again. I really need your help.
At that point Olive Oyl flies into my kitchen and yells at me: “Leave my man alone, you food whore!
You keep your hands to you, that’s what your are!”
My feeling got hurt and I answered to them using their quote:
“I think family is more important than dumb morality ”
But as they exiting my home, Popeye turns toward me and say:
“I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam. ”
Also, don’t forget to print the recipe below and make what Popeye suggested.

So, dear my friends what is trending right now?
Answer: “Alternative facts!”
So, what does “alternative facts” means?
“In physical sciences, an alternate fact is a true statement that, while appearing to contradict another fact, actually illuminates the subject to greater depth.
For example, is light a particle or a wave?
In political debate, an alternative fact is a statement that, although demonstrably false, is treated as a tribal talisman and acted on as though it were true…”
But what if you have to debate the journalist lying through his teeth and you have no power over the media…what is “alternative facts” then?
OR
What to do when “alternative facts” becomes the truth from your TV because the Universe or “money power” is playing with you and your brain.
Do you get it people? What is “the truth” today and what is the “alternative facts”? And which one is which?
Ask George Soros …
No, I would rather talk to Denzel Washington who said:
“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed,” the 61-year-old actor recently expressed while promoting his new film Fences.
“What is the long-term effect of too much information? One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what responsibility do you all have?,” Denzel asked the reporter.
“To tell the truth. Not just to be first. But to tell the truth. We live in a society now where its just be first, who cares just get it out, we don’t care who it hurts, we don’t care who we destroy, we don’t care if it’s true. Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice, you will get good at, including B.S.”
So, what to do when B.S. is your truth…Can you explain the meaning of “alternative facts” then?
CAN YOU?
Yes, we can! – says Obama as he plays golf.
O, please I am screaming at Universe now. I am sick and tired of this B.S.
And I wish that people wake up and hug their neighbors, bake a cake, share and love this life and refuse to be part of B.S.
And see the truth…then to answer the question: What is the “alternative facts” would be a piece of cake!

Happy Sunday!
It is January 20, 2017. and in the USA it is the most important day – Inauguration Day!
Congratulations USA! Donald Trump is officially the 45th U.S. president!
For this special day full of feelings let me make the best chocolate walnut torte with so many fillings that will let you forget
reality and enjoy my chocolate drama. After all isn’t a democracy all about “the chocolates”? If you disagree with me I will respectfully call you “deplorable”.
Just kidding…or not…I am not sure how I feel about people who don’t like chocolate.

Now, we have work to do. Let’s make it happen.
So fare we made two 8-inch round cakes.

Now, let’s connect them together by making two different fillings.
FIRST MAIN FILLING:
2 + 1/2 CUP MILK
10 EGG YOLKS
7 TBSP SUGAR
6 TBSP FLOUR (AP)
2/3 CUP BUTTER
3/4 CUP ICING SUGAR
DIRECTIONS:
Place milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. (until almost boiled)
Whisk egg yolks, sugar and flour until well combined.
Pour hot milk mixture over egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Return mixture to saucepan over low heat.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 15 to 20 minutes or until custard thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon.
Cool the mixture and then add butter and sugar mixture.(see note)
Note: In a separate bowl mix 2/3 cup butter and 3/4 icing sugar.

Now divide the fillings into 2 parts.
First filling: Yellow filling + 3/4 cup melted chocolate

Keep mixing the chocolate until you get the following …SEE THE PICTURE BELOW. So, this was your chocolate filling.

Now, let’s make the walnuts yellow filling.
Second filling: Yellow filling + 1 cup walnuts

The last part is just whip 1 cup whip cream.
Now, let’s build the torte.
First walnut cake + 1 cup whipped cream + Yellow Walnut Cream + Chocolate Cream + 2nd walnut cake + yellow walnut cream + chocolate cream

Add yellow walnut filling

Add Chocolate Filling

Add second walnut cake

Cover whole cake with the yellow walnut filing, add chocolate filling on the top. Decorate more if you wanted…Find the fridge
and keep the best chocolate walnut torte in the fridge for at least 8 hours or longer. ( I usually just leave it overnight.)
As soon as you wake up, find a knife in your kitchen and reword yourself with the best chocolate walnut cake in this Universe.
See your piece of cake!

Enjoy!

Now back to this special day, January 20 of 2017. – Inauguration Day!

It is a dream torte build of layer upon layer of rich walnut cake filled with light and fluffy whipped cream, chocolate cream and walnut cream.
This “the best chocolate walnut torte” is a chocolate lover’s dream!
So, let’s dream together.

You will need the following ingredients:
Cake:

2 x 10 TBSP icing sugar
2 x 5 TBSP chopped walnuts
2 x 2 TBSP AP flour
Make this twice. For some of you who don’t like math let me list amount of ingredients for whole recipe:
10 eggs
20 TBSP icing sugar, 10 TBSP chopped walnuts, 4 TBSP Flour
Directions:
Heat oven to 370 F.
Place cooking parchment paper or waxed paper in bottoms of two 8-inch round cake pans.
Mix 5 egg whites and 10 TBSP icing sugar together for about 5 min. or until the mixture is firm.
In a separate bowl mix 5 TBSP walnuts and 2 TBSP flour.
Add mixture of walnut and flour to mixed egg whites. Mix by hand. (Don’t use mixer at this point)
Fold it in gently but rapidly with a large rubber spatula until the flour and walnut mixture has disappeared.
Bake from 15 to 20 min at 370 F.
Use toothpick to poke the top of the cake slightly in the middle. If it is dry, then the cake is done
