ARIANA'S KITCHEN

Hello my tres beautiful friends!! Did you miss your Romanian chef? ; ) Well I'm here and I want to share with you guys my delectable recipe of .... SARMALE   aka - ROMANIAN STUFFED CABBAGE!!! MMMMMMMMM lipsmacking!!!

Here goes!!

SARMALE

- 1 Whole head of cabbage 

- 1 finely chopped medium onion

- 6 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 minced garlic cloves

- 250 g rice

-  700 g minced meat

-  2 teaspoons salt 

- 1 teaspoon black pepper 

-  2 cubes of beef stock 

-  10 black peppercorns 

-   4 bay leaves

-  4 tablespoons of tomato paste

PROCESS: 

Remove core from cabbage. Place whole head in a large pot filled with boiling, salted water. Cover and cook for ten minutes until softened enough to pull off individual leaves. You will need about 20 leaves.

When the leaves are cool enough to handle, use a knife to cut away the thick center stem from each leaf, without cutting all the way through. Chop any remaining cabbage and set aside.

In a large skillet, sauté chopped onion, garlic and rice in 1 tablespoon olive oil, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent. Add hot water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes or until rice has absorbed all the water. Let cool.

Place the minced meat in a large bowl and add the with onion-garlic-rice mixture, combining thoroughly. Add  salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons water. Mix completely but lightly.

Place about 50 g of meat mixture on each cabbage leaf. Roll away from you to encase the meat. Flip the right side of the leaf to the middle, and then flip the left side. You will have something that looks like an envelope. Once again, roll away from you to create a neat little roll.

Using the remaining olive oil, coat a large, casserole.  Cover with a layers of stuffed cabbage rolls. Add water mixed with the stock,  just enough to cover. If you have any leftovers from the cabbage, chop it and add as a layer on the top to keep the moisture in.

Place casserole over high heat and bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low, cover and simmer about 20 minutes. Here you can either transfer to oven (heat oven to 180 degrees C.) and cook 2 hours or let it simmer for 1 1/2 hour. Then add the tomato paste dissolved in a little bit of water, cover and cook another 30 minutes.

BON APETTIT MIS AMORES!!

SINGLE IN THE BIG BAD SEXY CITY- NEW YORK !!

The life of a single girl in NY is tres fun, tres sexy, tres exhilarating tres bla bla bla! SERIOUSLY! There are so many amazing, intelligent  family oriented SINGLE girls in NY that actually, really, terribly DO NOT WANT TO BE SINGLE ANYMORE. Us included!! Where are all the good men at? Hmmmm the men in there 30's and 40's out here in Manhattan still think that they are in their 20's. That is the problem. They are hanging out in trashy "popular" clubs, thinking that being part of the "scene", knowing a few owners of clubs, managers, selectors etc makes them awesome. Well.... sorry guys it just makes you look like totally pathetic LOSERS! Suddenly you guys will hit your mid 40's start getting bald, fat , tired and nobody will want you in the "popular" club , well unless you are a perverted gazillionaire that can pay ridiculous amounts of cash for a table just to have 18 year old models hang out with you for the free drinks, free food and then ditch you for the poor young hot guys...
Where can we all meet NORMAL relationship/marriage minded men? That is the BIG question.
Well our darlings, it is definitely not in the clubs and not even in bars and lounges, nope, no no. Actually it can be at Whole Foods Supermarkets, Charities,  Online (yes online is a wonderful place to meet nice me and it is tres trendy so don't be embarrassed to sign up to Jdate, Eharmony , Match.com etc..) Library, Museums, Auctions etc. A bit more high end and serious then the usual bar/lounge scene which we would say is more for pickup.
We actually know some good single men for you serious single women out there ( they are not for us only because they are usually too short :(( we are 5'10....;)) so if you would like our services please email us at samuels_odelia@hotmail.com . Let's all get into serious relationships!!

**BEING SINGLE DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE WEAK, IT MEANS YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR WHAT YOU DESERVE**

ELEGANCE  :   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnThK7c5FE8

Last week it was all about the BITCH ATTITUDE ,but  the bitch only works with ELEGANCE.

Yes, men love the sexy bitch woman, but don't get us wrong, there is a bitch and there is a bitch. A man does not like a cheap trashy bitch our friends. A man likes his woman elegant and strong. Why elegant? This is why:

* Men like their future wives to be the epitome of elegance and grace.

* Men want to make their moms happy. A way to charm their mother is an elegant women who knows how to impress.

* Men want to be seen  with a lady, a lady is elegant.

* Men want to take out their ladies and know she is proper.

* Men like to be seen with a lady that is dressed chic not cheap.

* The woman a man is with reflects on who he is.

*Men may like the trashy, sexy slutty bitch but only in bed, in the dark and goodbye the next day.

Elegance never goes out of style!

 "Elegance is a statement, an attitude. Elegant women are women of character with confidence'"
