Korean Beef and Rice

Image
This dish is super easy and I had it on the table in 15 minutes!  It has the same flavors as bulgogi, a traditional Korean dish.  But, with Bulgogi, thinly sliced sirloin has to marinate for hours.  So, not only was this quick and easy it was so flavorful.  It makes 4 small servings so if you have bigger eaters or want leftovers I would double this recipe.   INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed  1/4 cup soy sauce  1 tablespoon sesame oil  1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger  or 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 3 cloves garlic, minced  1 pound ground beef  2 green onions, thinly sliced  Cooked rice, for serving INSTRUCTIONS In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and ginger.  In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown ground beef and garlic until browned making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in soy sauce mixture...

SANNACCHIUDERE

Today we have a guset post from Ferdinando Guade. He is  contributing a sweet that is typical of his region in southern Italy. It's not something that I have ever eaten but now is the time to give something new a try.  SANNACCHIUDERE (porcidduzzi) This is an unusual name for a dessert but all is explained below. There are two legends associated with this name: one is that a poor mother, as Christmas approached, wanted to prepare some sweets for her children, but she had at home a few ingredients. She only had flour, oil and honey.  So she k neaded the flour with water and a little oil, then cut the dough into very small pieces, fried them and then dipped them in honey.   The children were attracted by the sweets and they began to eat them all. The mother, fearing that there would be none left for the husband when he returned from work, locked the children in the cupboard, saying,  “Chiste s’hanne a cchiudere pe le fa acchià à attanete” ( These should be clo...

Original Italian Castagnaccio recipe

Image
Each region makes it his own way. Every family does it in his own way. Even my mom did. She wanted to be more "Tuscan" and try the recipes of the region, but I do not appreciated because of the very particular taste. We're talking about chestnut flour, intense, sweetish, who loves her, who hates her. Now that I'm an adult, or who are aged (!) I appreciate the 100% and I tried to go back to a balance of doses that would satisfy me. I made at least a dozen, segnandomi every time corrections until you get to what I propose. For my taste, the chestnut should not be dry and crisp but dry on the surface, well cracked and morbidino inside. I eliminated the raisins and pine nuts and open the door to Rosemary who, I swear, it gives you a perfume dream. Then everyone has their own taste, of course, but where you do not compromise on the flour and height. The best meal in my opinion is that of Mount Amiata (GR), sweet, light-colored and with regard to the height, to me, should n...

Why I'm Confused by UCLA's Crowdfunding Campaign

Image
Watch the video for yourself … This level of fluff might fly with wealthy donors in L.a. L.a. Land, but we, the gymternet, are smarter than this. When things don't add up, we notice, and we respond. Let's break this down…  A few key sentences from the video that make you go, "Huh?" All right, let's establish the thesis of this video. Essentially, UCLA "wants to win an NCAA Championship and bring another one home to Westwood." How are they going to do that? By practicing on podium all year. Right now, they're practicing on mats… on top of concrete! Yes, this is truly an outrage!  What team does that? Oh, wait, right… Pretty much everyone, including the 2014 World Champions… Really, just stop to think about UCLA's plight for a second. They are complaining about the fact that there is concrete flooring in their gym – UNDER the mats. #FirstWorldProbz Do you hear Simone Biles asking the world to build podiums for her? If Simone Biles – mind you, a fu...

Sexy Data Dump

During the World Championships, I made many, many charts for GymCastic , and they need to live somewhere. So, why not my blog? Click on the images to make them larger. 1. A breakdown of the execution scores during the men's all-around. 2. A breakdown of the difficulty scores during the men's all-around. People need to stop talking about how difficulty always trumps execution. 3. How did our top men do last year during the all-around finals? Holy upgrades, Max Whitlock! And holy improvement, Oleg! In the words of Oleg , "Next year I should focus more on the all-around because it is high time, high time indeed." If we start praying now, gymternet, the gym gods are bound to give in and find a place for Oleg on the podium in 2015! 4. A comparison of 2013's floor scores vs. 2014's floor scores Sometimes, I wonder, "Would that score been medal-worthy last year?" I decided to make some charts to find out. Has Shirai grown? Or why is he having troubles keepi...

2014 Men's World Team Finals: When Difficulty Edges Out Execution

Image
At the 2004 Olympics, Marian Dragulescu performed his eponymous vault . He completed it nearly flawlessly and earned a 9.900, a ginormous score at the time. For his second vault, Dragulescu did a Kaz 1.5. But he went over the lines, put both hands to the mat, and stepped off the vault mats. Magically, Dragulescu still scored a 9.325 on his second vault. Many thought that Dragulescu should have scored a maximum of 9.100 on the Kasamatsu. The Canadian gymnastics federation lodged a protest on behalf of Kyle Shewfelt who was in fourth place. Two judges had given Dragulescu a 9.5 on his second vault, when there were clearly more than 0.5 in errors. Adrian Stoica, a Romanian, was the FIG's Men's Technical Director at the time, and many believe that Dragulescu's score was a show of partisanship. About today's results, Coach Rick on GymnasticsCoaching.com has said: This is  worse than the Uchimura pommel dismount scandal  at the 2012 Olympics.  On par with the Dragalescu 2nd V...
