Marcus’ Recipes from our last session

Chili John’s Chili Chocolate Sauce

….notorious but not feared…
 

 

Spice Mixture
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

And other ingredients…

Corn or sunflower oil
1 can of blended tomato
200 ml vegetable broth
1/2 good beer (optional)
1/2 cup strong coffee or 1 double shot espresso
salt
2 finely chopped jalapenos
2 finely chopped chipotle chillies
300 g of dark chocolate

How to do it …

Mix the spices in a bowl
In a cast iron pot heat the oil. Full fire! 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture met in the Mixing. Fry for about 30 seconds.

Add tomato, broth, beer and coffee. Drink rest of the beer. Season with jalapenos, salt and chipotle-chillies. Let the sauce simmer for a minimum 30 minutes.

Add the chocolate. Do not use it all at once as the taste dependents on the cocoa percentage in the chocolate. The chocolate is meant to add taste but also to smooth the sause. When the chocolate has melted the sauce is finished. Check your seasoning. If needed add spice mixture, salt and/or extra chili.
The Chili Chocolate sause is perfect for for BBQs!

John has published 3 cook books. Check for more: http://www.chilijohn.dk/.

 

 
Traditional Danish Able Pie

10-12 apples
3 tablespoons sugar
75 ml of water
vanilla

350 grams of bread crumbs.
Available ready-made (Look for Struer Æblekagerasp) Any other bread crum woul do as long as it is sweet. If you can’t find any ready-made do a mixture yourself. Sauté a mixture of plain bread crumbs (250 g) and add crushed macaroons (100 g).
Ribs or rowan jelly
500 ml double cream

How to do it …

Peel the apples and cut them into quarters. Add water and sugar and grains from a vanilla pod. Vanilla sugar can be used with genuine from Tahiti is the best! Boil for apple sauce over low heat. When apples are turned to mush is æblemosen finished. Adjust the flavor with a little sugar and cook until done. Set bog to cool.

Find a nice bowl. Cover the bottom with breadcrumbs about 5 cm thickness. Add a layer of applesauce about 10 cm thickness. Put a few blobs of jelly on the apple sauce. Cover with breadcrumbs. Add next layer applesauce and jelly. Cover with breadcrumbs. Whip the cream.  Cover the last layer of bread crump with whipped cream. Garnish with jelly.

Serve the able pie with a nice cup of coffee, able jack and Dolly Parton on the radio …

Feedback on 'Identity'

This is general feedback to the group that already did 'Identity' with me:

I have seen some really excellent work on a lot of these pages! I have earmarked a few new pages for myself too and enjoyed the many videos, quotes and reflections. It is truely amazing how many resources can be found when so many work together. Well done!

I have given brief individual feedback on your own 'Identity' page. You should read the excellent pages prepared by other people, and I can particularly recommend:

Aimee and Emma's resources produced in Nortern Ireland for teachers to use and reflections including the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Emma likes Dr. Seuss and the Sneetches - so do I.
Alicia's choice of films, a must
Anders' selction of resources including a wonderful TED talk by an interesting woman from Quatar
Andrea's videos on multicultural educuation, including James Banks's definitions
Anna's actitivies, wonderful video on communication with babies, Elmar and a German song
Annelies's Dutch song and her recommendations of the Labels game (would love to do that one)
Christina's link to Global Kids and the website which has a collection of other sites.
Hassan's thorough descriptions and his selection of videos, not least the 'Take a Seat and Meet a Friend - in a ball pit' which I think we should establish at UCC
Helene's songs - and she managed to find a description of the Greeting Game we did at the Hostel (some of us) as well as part of a book with more games
Jane's page on Kid World Citizen and video from the Diversity Centre
Kristina's activities and nice books for children
Lasma's resources and reflections
Victoria's presentation slides and video on QUIMS schools in Switzerland.

Do you all know that you can create playlists on YouTube? Why not create a playlist for yourself on identity, culture and globalization that you can use in the future - and share with others? You can also create your own channel and upload videos yourself....

Have a look here:

If you have NOT had individual feedback from me, you have either not done the class yet (but will soon) OR you have not completed your blog page (but will soon!!). If I have ignored you even though you have actually done your page, please let me know.

56 blogs now linked

... and deadline reached.

Please remember to link to and comment on posts on the other blogs in your team.

Feel free to get inspiration from each other - but remember to give a reference to where you got inspiration from. Copy-paste from others without a reference is academic fraud and has unfortunate consequences in the world of education and science.

See you next week.

Come to 'Sekskanten at 1 p.m. on 5 March!

Documentary from Nairobi

As dusk rolls in over the purple sky of Nairobi, two men are approaching a white villa in an embassy neighborhood. 12 hours as night guards lies ahead of them and as darkness falls and crickets fill the garden, some of life's bigger questions begin to surface.

 
The 5/3 at 13:00 the Documentary Director student Lea Hjort Mathiesen will visit Blaagaard/KDAS to preview her short documentary Night Shift that she's produced in collaboration with DANIDA. Night Shift challenges the genre of documentary by exploring the borders of Documentary and Fairytale narrative.
 

Lea Hjort Mathiesen will be showing the film and talking about her work as a documentary filmmaker and the challenges that had to be overcome in order to make Night Shift.
