Another Fascinating Narcissistic Charming Intellectual

Cycling for fun

Cycling has always been fun for me. It’s not only a great source of exercise but it also challenges me to get faster and better with it. We all have these small speedometers on our bikes showing our average speed, high speed and the distance covered. Somehow I have always felt the need to bike faster in attempt to break my previous average speed or even the top speed.

One of the keys of cycling fast is to spend a More

Pineapple upside down cake recipe

There are few things I appreciate in this world and Enigin services and Pineapple upside down cake are amongst them. These cakes were not a new concept when they first appeared in the late 1920’s and many food historians say that these cakes were made as early as the 1800s. This Cake is a classic dessert that brings back food memories of home and comfort. Here is an easy and delicious recipe for this classic cake.

Ingredients

- 2/3 cup butter

- 3/4 cup brown sugar

- One can pineapple slices, 20 ounces, drained

- Maraschino cherries (ten to twelve)

- Two eggs

- One cup flour

- 2/3 cup sugar

- 1/4 cup milk

- One teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

To make the topping for this cake, place a ten-inch round, oven-safe skillet with the heat low, and melt the butter. Remove the skillet from heat and add the brown sugar, stirring until blended.

Drain the pineapple slices and add to the skillet with the butter mixture, arranging the slices so they fit comfortably in one layer. This will usually be ten slices. At the center of each pineapple slice put a cherry.

To make the batter, combine the remaining ingredients (eggs, flour, sugar, milk, salt, and baking powder) and beat well for two to three minutes or until the batter is well mixed.

Pour the batter over the pineapple topping in the skillet. Bake uncovered at 350°F degrees for about 35 to 45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake. When it is clean when you take it out, the cake is done.

Let the cake stand for ten minutes before inverting onto a serving dish so the fruit is on top. You may wish to loosen the edges of the cake in the skillet before inverting.

Fascinatingly Narcissistic Caravan Holiday

Another fascinatingly narcissistic holiday is the caravan or camper van tour. It requires no real human interaction and very little reliance on the competence of others. Of course, there’ll be the initial few hours where the Charming Intellectual will have to buy a caravan and then hunt for cheap caravan insurance, but once that is all out of the way the Charming Intellectual will be able to throw themselves into the wonders of the planet without having to really talk More

Visit Long Island While in New York

When you go to New York City you might want to take in the the sight. There is of course a lot to see. While in New York I recommend that you check out the Empire State Building to get a really great view of the island of Manhattan, as well as a view of the slightly less desirable state of New Jersey, and on a good day maybe even towards New Haven in Connecticut. You can also climb the More

Ensure that Floods Don’t Ruin Your Holiday Home

The summers seem to be getting both hotter and wetter. After three summers that have been an absolute wash out, it is sometimes a surprise that people continue to pay out for holiday homes at all. They are after all not very cheap to maintain, and the fees that park home owners have to pay to the land owners only increases the expense. And when the worse thing happens and the park home either floods or gets set alight through More

Just Imagine, And I Don’t Mean In A John Lennon Kind Of A Way

The laptop computer was one thing that changed the world and made things unfathomably easier. Imagine if we’d have never had it? It doesn’t bear thinking about… With that in mind, here are a number of other things that we just couldn’t live without.
1) Sieves: you try draining any kind of food without one and then get back to me. If you can, of course. Your fingers will probably be burnt and red and hurting. The world really needs More

Growing up in London during the 90’s and early 00’s was a very confusing time for a person who feels they were born in the wrong generation. Unfortunately for myself London youth culture had offered all its nitty gritty beauty to previous generations. I was stuck and am still stuck with the backlash from so many successful and beautiful youth cultures that spread across the U.K after the 1950’s.

Therefore when I heard that the National Portrait Gallery was putting More

A Closer Look

The latest in a series of promising exhibitions at the National Gallery is Close Examination: Fakes, Mistakes & Discoveries, which runs from 30^th June – 12^th September 2010. Having been impressed by the recent Hoerengracht exhibition, and intrigued by the prospect of a look into the hidden world of art, I went along.

The first impression is a good one: the exhibition is impressive in both scale and design. Covering an entire floor of the Sainsbury Wing, the More

Ernesto Neto – The Edges of the World

The Ernesto Neto exhibition is taking place at Hayward Gallery as part of the Brazil Festival in South Bank, London. I recently went there with two friends, both artists themselves. I was told that Ernesto Neto had a new interactive installation exhibition and so we planned a day out in London.
The exhibition has two parts; the first part is called ‘The New Decor’ which is collaboration of contemporary artist’s work of interior design. The artists take everyday objects such More

Wake Up People! There Is A Better Way To Earn A Living

It amazes me how many people sit there and complain about their job. They absolutely hate it. They complain about how much they are paid and how little raises they ever get. They go on and on about how much they cannot stand getting up to their alarm clocks and having to drive through the morning bumper to bumper traffic.

Here they are every day of their lives complaining about their jobs, but yet they keep doing the same thing More
