Musical Recipe: Gnocchi with beetroot sauce and cheese 6 Dean Martin:

At this time it is opening my appetite bad thing but we can not taste anything because we are to plan it and pecking leads to nothing good. Therefore, coinciding with these dates so endearing Christmas and such, we will start a new gastro-sonic adventure to help us do a little more bearable stomach growls until you reach the blessed lunch ... Come beyond a colorful, entertaining (the kind that says Gourmet Desserts that come in handy for children to go deep into the world of cooking) and rich recipe called beet gnocchi with cheese sauce 6!




As the night that we did not give us by taking a photo of the dish, I put here
one belonging to the web Gastronomy and Co. from which I borrowed the recipe.


Ingredients (serves 4-6 people):

400g of cooked beetroot.
200g potato flakes (or natural potato puree if you want to go superguay).
100g flour (although you may need more).
1 teaspoon salt.
1 pinch of nutmeg.
1 pinch black pepper.
1 egg.
1 brick of cream for cooking.
1 package of shredded cheese of any kind.


Elaboration:
We wash hands thoroughly because we are not a guarretes, ruthlessly chop and grind in a blender beets and took them to a bowl knead. We pour the shake and incorporate the potato flakes or puree. Salt and pepper and add the nutmeg. We mix very very very good (and I mean to be mixed very very well mean that you have to mix very very very good) until potato flakes have been rehydrated enough to lose its characteristic white color and become one with beet. Let stand 10 minutes to ensure rehydration and then add the beaten egg and flour sifted inches to avoid creating gobs. We return to mix very very well (I do not think it necessary to have to repeat the reason) to create a united and malleable mass, which is easily broken, but that does not stick to hands. The exact point will be when pressing the dough with the tip of a finger slightly, this return to his being away. If you see that mass is inconsistent, it should be corrected and keep adding more potato until it acquires body. Then it's time to sprinkle flour on the counter and when you release your mother this "for you know who's going to clean up after!". With the dough on the counter, we must knead and roll it to make cylinders or churrillos a thickness of approximately 1'5cm. We cut into portions of about 2cm and we shape pressing them with a fork.

These gnocchi can be stored a couple of days dusted with flour and tightly covered in the refrigerator, but it is advisable to boil a pot of water, a pinch of salt and bay leaf. When the water starts to boil gnocchi pieces that fall to the bottom of the pan are added. In a couple of minutes, no more, they will have made ​​gnocchi and go up. We are going retreating, straining and putting on the plate, which serve with the corresponding sauce. In our case, we chose the 6 cheese sauce. Why? Because the 4 cheese seems to us that is trite, because we are really cool and because we had more cheese remains at home. Point. To prepare, put to cook over low heat one brick of cream to cook, season and add an assortment of cheese: soft, cured, smoked mozzarella, Parmesan and blue, we have to remove patiently to be achieved and melt all each ellos.Tras this arduous task, we no longer have more than throw it over the gnocchi and explore great while uncork a bottle of wine or open a good background sound Beer and Carols always elegant and charismatic Dean Martin.




Recetario Musical: Ñoquis de remolacha con salsa de 6 quesos y Dean Martin:
A estas horas se me está abriendo el apetito cosa mala pero no podemos catar nada porque resulta que estamos a plan y el picotear no lleva a nada bueno. Por ello, coincidiendo con estas fechas tan entrañables de la Navidad y tal, vamos a iniciar una nueva aventura gastro-sonora que nos ayude a hacer un poquito más llevaderos los rugidos estomacales hasta que llegue la bendita hora de la comida... ¡Vamos allá con una colorida, entretenida (de esas que dice Karlos Arguiñano que vienen muy bien para que los niños vayan adentrándose en el mundo de la cocina) y rica receta que se llama ñoquis de remolacha con salsa de 6 quesos!


Como la noche aquella que los hicimos no nos dio por echar una foto al plato, aquí os pongo 
una perteneciente a la web Gastronomía Y Cía de la que tomé prestada la receta.


Ingredientes (para 4-6 personas):

400g de remolacha cocida.
200g de copos de patata (o puré de patata natural si quieres ir de superguay).
100g de harina (aunque puedes necesitar más).
1 cucharadita de sal.
1 pizca de nuez moscada.
1 pizca de pimienta negra.
1 huevo.
1 brick de nata para cocinar.
1 paquete de quesos rallados de cualquier tipo.


Elaboración:
Nos lavamos las manos a conciencia porque no somos unos guarretes, troceamos y trituramos sin contemplaciones con una batidora la remolacha y la llevamos a un cuenco de amasar. Vertemos el batido e incorporamos los copos de patata o el puré. Salpimentamos y añadimos la nuez moscada. Mezclamos muy muy muy bien (y cuando digo que hay que mezclar muy muy muy bien quiero decir que hay que mezclar muy muy muy bien) hasta que los copos de patata se hayan rehidratado lo suficiente como para perder su característico color blanquecino y hacerse uno con la remolacha. Dejamos reposar 10 minutos para asegurar la rehidratación y después añadimos el huevo batido y la harina tamizada a poquitos para no crear pegotes. Volvemos a mezclar muy muy muy bien (no creo que sea necesario que tenga que repetir la razón) hasta crear una masa unida y maleable, que se rompa fácilmente, pero que no se pegue a las manos. El punto exacto será cuando al presionar la masa con la yema de un dedo levemente, esta vuelva a su ser de inmediato. Si véis que la masa es inconsistente, habrá que corregir y seguir añadiendo más patata hasta que adquiera cuerpo. Entonces llegará el momento de espolvorear harina sobre la encimera y el momento en que vuestra madre os suelte eso de "¡pues ya sabes quién lo va a limpiar luego!". Con la masa en la encimera, habrá que amasarla y rodarla hasta hacer unos cilindros o churrillos de un 1´5cm de grosor aproximadamente. Los cortamos en porciones de unos 2cm y damos forma presionándolos con un tenedor. 

Estos ñoquis pueden conservarse un par de días espolvoreados con harina y bien tapados en el frigo, pero lo más aconsejable es poner a hervir una olla con agua, una pìzca de sal y laurel. Cuando el agua rompa a hervir se añaden las piezas de ñoquis, que caerán al fondo de la olla. En un par de minutos, no más, estos ñoquis se habrán hecho e irán subiendo. Los vamos retirando, colando y poniendo en el plato, que serviremos con su correspondiente salsa. En nuestro caso, hemos elegido la salsa de 6 quesos. ¿Por qué? Pues porque la de 4 quesos nos parece que está muy trillada, porque somos muy chulos y porque teníamos más restos de quesos en casa. Punto. Para prepararla, ponemos a cocer a fuego suave un brick de nata de cocinar, salpimentamos y añadimos un surtido variado de quesos: suave, curado, ahumado, mozarella, azul y parmesano, que hemos de remover con paciencia para que se logren fundir todos y cada uno de ellos.Tras esta ardua tarea, ya no nos queda más que echárselo por encima a los ñoquis y disfrutar de lo lindo mientras descorchamos una botella de vino o abrimos una buena cerve y suenan de fondo los villancicos del siempre elegante y carismático Dean Martin.

Likes today we takes you to the tuneful blog "DU - DUM- DUM"  where Spanish blogger "Victor Hugo" holds forth.  "Hugo" hails from Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain and his post "Una de esas joyitas: Dean Martin"  (English translation: One of these gems: Dean Martin.) offers one of the bestest of best Dino-deals 'round.

"Victor" Dino-"gem" is none other then the 4 CD collection of Dino-croons tagged "DEAN MARTIN EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.  Likes you can read our original Dino-prose on this coolest of cool collection  HERE when it was first released a couple of years 'go.   'though that know that "Hugo's primo prose is less powerful in translation then the original Spanish, none the less we digs his Dino-take on this massive massive collection of Dino-croons.  He speaks of our most beloved Dino's "class, style, and elegance" and recommends "decorate this Christmas with music high tuft," of course speakin' of none other then our main man.

As we have spoken of before, this collection of 8----count -em----eight original al-b-ums is truly a bargain of bargain, usually found 'round these parts for less then what one might pay for a single al-b-um.  And, "Hugo" does a commendable job of offerin; both" pros" and "cons" for this stellar set of recordin's.

We are deeply delighted to be able to offer Mr. "Victor Hugo's" sweet sweet suggestion" for a Dino-gift that won't break the bank, but give hours and hours of Dino-listenin' Dino-pleasure.  We thanks "Hugo" for offerin' his readership this bestest of best Dino-giftin' idear.  To checks this out in it's original source, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-message.  Dino-sharin', DMP

One of these gems: Dean Martin.

Pros of this issue: You pull a series of disks that are very difficult to purchase separately, the remastering and other technical aspects of the album are outstanding (energetic, deep and rich sound nuances) and affordable price (less than 15 euros depending on where you go to look for).

Cons: No features its two previous works 'Dean Martin Sings' (53) and 'Down Yonder Swingin'' (55) and with s English and EP's and also suffers from a booklet of credits to explain the details the intricacies of these discs and piece of this great artist.


My verdict: If you have curiosity for the work of Dean Martin I recommend one of the many collections that are on it because you will enjoy one montonazo but if you want to really dig deeper and find the gems that was leaving this teacher US entertainment over three decades I sincerely believe that you're taking to make these gems.
Una de esas joyitas: Dean Martin.

Contras: No cuenta con sus dos trabajos previos 'Dean Martin Sings' (53) y 'Swingin´ Down Yonder' (55), así como con los singles y EP´s y además adolece de un libreto de créditos que explique al detalles los intringulis de estos pedazo de discos y de este pedazo de artista.


Mi veredicto: Si tienes simple curiosidad por la obra de Dean Martin te recomiendo uno de los múltiples recopilatorios que hay sobre él porque vas a disfrutar un montonazo pero si lo que te interesa de verdad es profundizar y descubrir las joyitas que fue dejando este maestro del entertainment estadounidense a lo largo de tres décadas creo, sinceramente, que ya estás tardando en hacerte con estas joyitas.

From the blog  "Mean Green Math - Explaining the "whys" of mathematics" by blogger Mr. John Quintanilla" comes from within  memory, the first Dino-mathematical proposition "Predicate Logic and Popular Culture (Part 6): Dean Martin."   Well, the word "Green" is part of Mr. Quintanilla's blog tag and likes red and green are the traditional colors accentin' this wintery season...so, let's just use that are our official reason for sharin' this post this Dino-day!

Predicate Logic and Popular Culture (Part 6): Dean Martin

This semester, I taught discrete mathematics for the first time. Part of the discrete mathematics course includes an introduction to predicate and propositional logic for our math majors. As you can probably guess from their names, students tend to think these concepts are dry and uninteresting even though they’re very important for their development as math majors.

In an effort to making these topics more appealing, I spent a few days mining the depths of popular culture in a (likely futile) attempt to make these ideas more interesting to my students. In this series, I’d like to share what I found. Naturally, the sources that I found have varying levels of complexity, which is appropriate for students who are first learning prepositional and predicate logic.

When I actually presented these in class, I either presented the logical statement and had my class guess the statement in actual English, or I gave my students the famous quote and them translate it into predicate logic. However, for the purposes of this series, I’ll just present the statement in predicate logic first.

Let L(x,y,t) be the proposition “x loves y at time t.” Translate the logical statement

\forall x \exists y \exists t L(x,y,t),

where the domain for x and y is all people and the domain for t is all times.

The clunky way of translating this into English is, “For every person, there exists a person and a time so that the first person loves the second person at that time.” But it sounds a lot better when Dean Martin sings it.

Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

It’s a distinct pleasure to work with Laura Lizer and the estate to ensure we deliver Dean with the utmost authenticity.”

Hologram USA is also said to be in talks with with estates of Whitney Houston, Buddy Holly and Patsy Cline to bring holographic stage shows of those classic performers to life as well.

Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hill

Cold cold as the wind
Warm warm were your lips
Out there on the ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrill

Weekend in Canada a change of scenery
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I've found a love that I couldn't ignore

Down down came the sun
Fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part

Down down down down came the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
Down down down down came-a the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat-a my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
We'd never part
We'd never part

Dean Martin’s ‘Rudolph': The Coolest Christmas Carol of All (Video)

By Robert J Wright December 24, 2014 4:47 PM

One can easily make the case that of all ‘The Rat Pack’ members, Dean Martin was the coolest. Frank had his famous temper. With his Nehru jackets and litany of ‘baby’s’, Sammy sometimes was trying a little too hard. But Dino, with drink in hand and never in a hurry, was the picture of 50s cool.

After all, who else could, in the middle of the Christmas classic, ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’, effortlessly slip into a slightly slurred German dialect and sing, ‘Rudolph mit your nose so bright, won’t you guide mein sleigh tonight?’

Take a listen and you’ll see why Dino’s version of ‘Rudy’ is without a doubt, the coolest Christmas carol of all!

 

 



 

On This Day In Dino-history: November 30, 1956

Hey pallies, the ol' world wide web continues to be a genuine goldmine completely chocked full of great Dino-treasure just waitin' to be marvelously mined....and that's a huge huge reason we here at ilovedinomartin keeps doin' our best to uncover more and more Dino-devotion for all youse Dino-philes.    Last year at this time,while doin' some extra credit Dino-searchin' via google blog search we happened upon the rarest of rare Dino-find of some laviously  live croonin' of our most beloved Dino and his bestest of best pallie Mr. Frank Sinatra on November 30, 1956.

First posted on the blog "Crooks And Liars" on December 31, 2009, it took us almost five years to uncover this fantastic find of this  recordin' of our most beloved Dino singin' a trio of classic croons for the Hungarian Relief Concert with Sinatra also doin' some solo work.  All-in-all there is almost 22 minutes of sensational singin'.   Likes, 'cause this is a remarkably rare Dino-discovery  we are plannin' to share this on an annual basis, with this year bein' year duo.

We loves how this remarkable recordin' begins with the unnamed announcer givin' our great great man the greatest of praise, sayin' "This fella is going to be on the, I think, one of the finest leading men we've ever seen around this town, and he is going to come out here now, and lead you all to a lot of happiness.   And, likes indeed our Dino lovin'ly  lays likes just  a ton of huge huge happiness on the crowd as he sings "All Of Me," "Innamorata," and "Is It True What They Say About Dixie."

 Our Dino mentions that it was producer Mr. Joe Pasternak who coaxed his appearance, which let's us know that the concert was around the time that our Dino's first major big screen effort, "Ten Thousand Bedrooms" was bein' released as Pasternak was the producer for that effort.

We are likes totally totally thrilled to be able to share this with all youse Dino-holics, just wishes that it hadn't taken so so long to uncover.  Also, as you will read  below the sharer of this Dino-treasure, Mr. Gordon Skene discovered "the master tapes from the concert)  sitting on a shelf in a garage the better part of forty years before I got the call to "take the junk away".

Newstalgia New Years Eve Music Special - Dean Martin - Frank Sinatra - Hungarian Relief Concert 1956

I can't think of a better way to end up the year than with a special, rare, never-heard-before performance of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (not together unfortunately, but Dino's in fine form) from the Hungarian Relief Fundraiser put on in Los Angeles on November 30, 1956.

For some reason, this recording has never been issued anywhere - the master tapes sitting on a shelf in a garage the better part of forty years before I got the call to "take the junk away".
Dean had just broken up his act with Jerry Lewis and Sinatra was going through a career change that took would take a dramatic upturn as well. If memory serves (but don't hold me to it), this predates the Ratpack by about a year.

In any event, this is a rare recording and you get to hear it first.

Thanks to everyone for a great 2009 - especially the crew at C&L. It's all been good fun, dusting off history.

Happy New Year - try and stay sane in the meantime. Wait til 2010!
