Funny 25th Birthday Invitation

2010 New Year's Cake Pineapple, Coconut and Raspberry Galette des Rois

We are at the beginning of January and the wishes of all kinds are going well ... Tomorrow, we organize a staff meal at the President's wishes. So, everyone must bring something to munch so I did two things for an aperitif, another for dessert to be enjoyed in small portions because they will peck so there will be a variety of dishes.

The meridian Eryn, I give you the photo of the month of May because the one I'm doing is taking part in his early release so they can not cut it tomorrow afternoon ... in addition he will have to undergo a car so transportation is no risk eh ... I do not want that all staff must take the aperitif on the carpeted rear of my car. Recipe c'es t click-here-:


For New Year's cake, I took the basic ingredients of those famous log pineapple, coconut and raspberries. I'm not very creative side desserts at the moment, but this recipe is so successful and is so cool that I'm convinced that it should not make a crease. At worst, I'll finish all alone ... I am willing to sacrifice, and if I brings home, I will not be alone either to make that sacrifice hi hi hi

Webster's cruelty, the sensuality of Keats

To refresh myself missals of the Second Empire, and other fascinating things that I need to study to prepare for the upcoming exhibition Mame Tours in almost two months, I can still find some time for me . Also, the Christmas gifts that led Bright Star in our meager collection of dvds, I started with delight upon reading a few poems of Keats. And especially The Eve of St Agnes decidedly beautiful, as can be romantic poetry, but, unlike that of Shelley, slow, quiet, meditative ... and yet passionate at the same time. Above all, English poetry is so real, so close to things, so little inclined to "make the mind" ...

John Keats by Joseph Severn, 1821-1823, National Portrait Gallery, London.

Then we went to see last night , the Duchess of Malfi John Webster, in a translation by Anne-Laure Liégeois and Nigel Gearing, and directed by Anne-Laure Liégeois. Rarely seen something as dark, violent and grotesque at the same time, or Grand Guignol, especially at the end. We had already seen a wedding cake by AL Liegeois: it was' Edward II by Christopher Marlowe, a playwright in the same vein: day Shakespearean, Jacobean theater sulfur where scenes of violence are fighting those of gender, curses and imprecations against fate.
Except that the 'story', in Webster, disappears in favor of a quite amazing baroque excesses, sometimes bordering on delirium, as in the scene where, for the consolation of having locked in a tower, a brother moved to his sister the Duchess of him in a show of crazy telling everyone, just wearing a shirt, absurdities that would not have disowned a Rabelais or a Lucian.

And all this writing in the seventeenth century in the seventeenth century synonym for us in France, classicism and rationality ... Do we not surprised at all if the thriller is born in England at the time of the Enlightenment in France were in full swing. The opposition of Shakespeare and Racine is as old as literary studies, but that between the grotesque and hilarious black comedy of Webster and Molière's wise for thought ... But how is it, really, that the English are also gifted in literature? I will try to rethink going back to my comic books for young Catholics of the nineteenth century ...
