Creamy green beans casserole
from RereRini on 09/28/2019 09:26 AMIngredients:
For the onions:
2 tablespoons butter2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
For the white sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
For the topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
4 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese, divided
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir the onions into the pan; cook and stir until very soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in sherry vinegar. Transfer to a small bowl, and reserve. In the same skillet, melt 2 more tablespoons butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons flour. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the flour smells like baked pie crust, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, then whisk in nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and thyme. Bring to simmer, and cook until thickened, whisking constantly, 3 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and reserve. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in clean skillet; stir in panko until all crumbs are coated; reserve. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium heat, and boil beans until bright green and crisp but not raw tasting, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain very well. Spoon half of the caramelized onions into the prepared casserole dish; top with green beans. Season with salt and black pepper. Spread reserved white sauce over the green beans; sprinkle with half of the Gruyere cheese. Top with the rest of the onions, and use the back of a spoon to push onions down into sauce and cheese. Top with the buttered panko crumbs, the remaining Gruyere, and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until hot throughout and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

American pumpkin pie
from RereRini on 09/28/2019 08:57 AMPrep Time: 5 minutes / Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can pureed pumpkin
1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 large eggs, slightly whisked
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (rounded)
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 (9 inch) pie crust (bonus points for homemade
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425F (220C). In a small saucepan, heat pumpkin, spices and salt over low heat. The pour into another bowl to cool to room temperature. [This step is optional, but I think it makes the canned pumpkin taste closer to fresh pureed pumpkin.] Whisk all ingredients except piecrust together in a medium bowl until combined. Make sure there are no streaks of egg white because those will show up in the final product! Pour into crust and bake at 425F (220C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F (180C) and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until a sharp knife inserted 1 inch from the center comes out clean. If you don't want to poke your pie, which will cause it to crack as it cools, you can jiggle it. It is done when only the center (1 inch diameter) jiggles. The pumpkin pie will set perfectly if allowed to cool completely prior to cutting. Refrigerate in a sealed container or covered with foil. It will also keep for several days at room temperature if you prefer.
Notes: Note: This recipe makes 1 regular 9" pie. If you have a deep-dish pie pan or a slightly larger pie dish, I would make 1.5 times this recipe. You will need to cook the pie closer to 50 minutes.

Grape spoon sweet (stafyli glyko)
from RereRini on 09/27/2019 10:03 PMIngredients:
1 kg of seedless grapes
1 kg of sugar
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks
Powdered vanilla or a sprig of ginger for garnish
Preparations:
We wash the grapes thoroughly and we drain them in a strainer. We boil the water and sugar in a saucepan for 4 minutes. Then we add the grapes and cook for another 10 minutes. We turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for 4 hours. We turn the heat back on and simmer until the syrup thickens. We add the lemon juice, stir and remove from the heat. We take a spoonful and let it cool on a plate to sample. The mixture is ready when it becomes a viscous syrup with a nice, even honey colour.
While it is still hot, we transfer the sweet to sterilized jars, we place the cap on tightly and turn upside down for few minutes.

Re: TeppyBaka on ''Sanctuary of Mana'', an Interview about Everything.
from teppybaka on 08/13/2019 07:03 PMthis was a lot of fun to do, thank you for this! ^_^ ALSO, to properly answer Part Three Question #3, for an open air concert, or almost any concert really, i'd probably stick with jeans and sneakers or boots with a t-shirt (or a tank top if it's really hot weather, which where i live is almost all the time xD). for certain special concerts (like for the rare occassions that Japanese bands come tour North America), i might do something a little more themed or extra, such as for the recent North American tour that the GazettE did i decided to bring my rhinestone morning coat, and since it was in New York City and the weather was a lot cooler, it was rather appropriate xD
