As usually I eat much less from the sea than I’d wish for so any fish or seafood recipe is a delight for me. Seafood salad Ingredients I used a bag of frosted seafood for this recipe. Finding fresh ones is more than complicated here in Bucharest. 3 fresh tomatoes a bit of of bacon parsley, salt, pepper, 1 small onion, fresh ginger (grown in a pot :) a bit of olive oil Method boil the seafood for 10 mins cut the onion and ginger and start browning in olive oil add the seafood and bacon add the tomatoes cut in small pieces stir for 5-1o mins, add the parsley and stir for a few more minutes don’t over soften the tomatoes serve with white sweet wine enjoy Comments: Mihai - Nov 4, 2009 si eu sunt topit dupa vietatile marine - sugestie: calamari proaspeti pe grătar ( cel pe gaz l-am folosit eu ) cu lamaie...

Since my migration to thunderbird I did not had many things to complain but one of the remaining things was the date format. I am expecting to have something like DD/MM/YY or at least DD MMM YYYY. I did not imagined this could be something else than configuration somewhere. Or not… After some digging I found out there is no way to configure the date string but the only way to change the date is to change the locale the application is using....

It’s almost winter now and the vegetables market reflects that feeling. The piles of cabbage felt appealing to me and I decided on a cabbage winter dish recipe (also in romanian).

My neighbor which I occasionally help with PC problems seeing me in the street Friday gave me a bunch of apples saying these are “bio”-apples from his house in the mountains. I should take some since he has just picked up his apple tree and has too many apples and no idea what to do with them. Starting with the apples and the sour cherry (or bilberries) cake recipe this was the result:...

Cut the potatoes in cubes and the mushrooms as desired....

I’ve also migrated my Acer Aspire One to the new Karmic Koala easy as before using the recommended installation mechanism. One of the things I missed was the SSD specific configuration. This netbook I am using has a very slow SSD drive and I’ve experienced some slowdowns due to the time spent reading and writing the disk. I also wanted to reduce the SSD wear. Here are some steps I have took:...

This ubuntu installation was the bit of fun expected after a few tiresome weeks so I grabbed the cd while still hot and started the installation. As usual the install went smoothly except the fact that I probably mistyped my usual password so I had to modify the /etc/shadow afterward to log in. I was not expecting many changes but there are some graphical changes, the gdm seemed changed and after login I was greeted with a “DISK HAS MANY BAD BLOCKS” message since now there is a tool (palimpsest) which reads the S....

Muraturi Muraturi Muraturi Muraturi Comments: Etravel - Oct 5, 2009 Faine borcane, faine muraturi. Sunt sigur ca sunt gustoase pe cat sunt de aspectuoase. Totusi, o intrebare: de unde ai luat asa borcane faine, cu capac de sticla si tot tacamul? len - Oct 5, 2009 Borcanele alea sunt frumoase dar au fost o pacoste. Le-am luat de la ikea la inceput cand nu erau asa scumpe dar nu sunt etanse, am avut probleme cu ele si am tot incercat sa le mesteresc sa nu mai curga dar n-am reusit 100%....
