Rocambolesc (OMG)

“Postres inspirados en los helados e ingredientes de la receta original que hacemos en el restaurante […]. Hemos diseñado una bolsa especial para el celebrado postre lácteo, con el objetivo de que todos puedan montarlo en casa. Lleva el kit completo: algodón de azúcar, guayaba, dulce de leche, yogurt de oveja y helado de leche de oveja de raza ripollesa.”

The Corrections (by Jonathan Franzen)

‘And when the event, the big change in your life, is simply an insight–isn’t that a strange thing? That absolutely nothing changes except that you see things differently and you’re less fearful and less anxious and generally stronger as a result: isn’t it amazing that a completely invisible thing in your head can feel realer than anything you’ve experienced before? You see things more clearly and you KNOW that you’re seeing them more clearly’

José Andrés, sobre España y la cocina creativa

“Tenemos que formar a centenares de americanos para que elaboren platos españoles. Así conseguiremos vender nuestros productos, como hacen los italianos. Solo en “The Bazaar” en Los Ángeles compramos al año 750.000 euros en productos españoles. No te olvides que en cada uno de mis restaurantes recibimos a 800 /1000 personas diarias.

Tampoco estoy de acuerdo con los cursos de promoción del ICEX. No están bien orientados. Invitamos a cocineros extranjeros a aprender gratis junto a cocineros españoles. Y cuando regresan a sus países no dicen dónde han aprendido. Ni siquiera compran nuestros productos. El que quiera aprender cocina creativa que se lo pague de su bolsillo.”

Girls

The assorted humiliations, disasters and rare triumphs of four very different twenty-something girls: Hannah, an aspiring writer; Marnie, an art gallery assistant and cousins Jessa and Shoshanna.

Hannah: No one could ever hate me as much as I hate myself, okay? So any mean thing someone’s gonna think of to say about me, I’ve already said to me, about me, probably in the last half hour!

HBO lists the music for each episode, which is very awesome.
