La Pina Farine is discontinued | Pillsbury Bread Flour is a very similar product.

https://tastecooking.com/today-is-the-day-to-make-a-flour-tortilla/

As a test, I made Garcia’s recipe with warm tap water (about 100°F), with the hottest tap water I could get (around 130°F), and with water just off the boil (around 200°F). With the tap waters, the dough took longer to come together and had some snapback when I rolled it out, and thus stayed a touch thicker. The tortillas also had a little more chew.

But with the almost boiling water? The dough is immediately soft, supple, and smooth. It rolls out thin like a champ, browns beautifully on the griddle, and stays soft when it cools. In truth, it feels like cheating.

Perhaps my tortillas have a little less complexity, texture-wise, than those of Sonoran-style perfectionists. But now I can make really good flour tortillas fast enough at home that I can have them ANYTIME I WANT—which, naturally, is always.

Las Pinas LGU adds nutribuns in food pack distribution

#PHinfo: Las Pinas LGU adds nutribuns in food pack distribution

QUEZON CITY, April 10 (PIA)--The local government of Las Pinas initiated the distribution of nutribuns  in addition to the food packs being distributed to its residents affected by the Luzonwide enhanced community quarantine due to COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview over Radyo Pilipinas Friday, Mayor Imelda Aguilar said the city government has received flour donations which they use, through a partner bakeshop to produce the nutribuns.

Aguilar said, they were able to produce 5000 pieces of nutribuns from the 10 sacks of flour donated to the city government.

The mayor said, they will continue  producing nutribuns since they notice adults and children alike appreciate the nutritous bread aside from the fact that it's a ready to eat staple.

Moreover, Aguilar said they also distribute nutribuns to frontliners who tirelessly work to combat the crisis brought by COVID-19.

Aguilar applealed to her constituents to be more patient in waiting for the Social Amelioration Package and assured tham that whoever are eligible to receive the SAP will get it after thorough evaluation being done by the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD). (PIA-NCR)

Cardboard boxes above stage pulled open by pull string system off stage. White/ coloured flour colours. Or perhaps a few bowls of different coloured powder used to cover faces of performers. Colours to be defined. _______ Soil/ furniture a la pina bausch. Dragged and moved about. _______ I worry that its pretentious it might look stupid. I feel it needs some absurdity, some element of surprise in the presentation. Humour.

Hummingbird arrives in Cuba

Two and a half days after slipping lines in Mexico, we arrived in Cayo Largo, Cuba. According to the local marina master, Cayo Largo was a favourite of Fidel himself, though he also told us that we shouldn’t go swimming in the marina on account of the crocodile, so it’s maybe best to take everything with a pinch of salt here.

The last few hours of the passage were spent looking out for trees dotted along the islands which form the archipelago south of the main land, directing us to our destination. We made our way in through reefs and mangroves, and through crystal-clear water, into the palm tree decorated marina about mid-afternoon.

After some celebratory Mojitos and Pina Collada in the marina bar, followed by a meal in the local restaurant where we were serenaded by a quartet of Cuban musicians with “happy traditional” tunes and songs about Che Guevara, the crew were all ready for a decent night sleep alongside. Without any danger of being called up to put in a reef or take the Yankee down and back up again, and with no rolling beds to deal with, everyone slept beautifully, ready for the next adventure.

Today has been spent ashore on the Playa Serena, which is one of the top ten beaches in the world for sand quality according to Natural Geographic (though again this came from the Marina master). Getting to the beach, we could believe this one to be true however, as the sand was an incredible white, almost as fine as flour, and wasn’t hot underfoot at all. We’ve spent the afternoon in the shade of a palm tree, relaxing ready for the next passage to the Jardines de la Reina – the gardens of the queen.

10 Healthy Breakfasts for Busy Mornings

10 Healthy Breakfasts for Busy Mornings

http://www.oliveandbasillj.com  +1 858 412-4912 Breakfast in La Jolla

Breakfast in La Jolla breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day’s work. The word refers to breaking the fasting period of the prior night. There are some (or more like, many) mornings where it’s everything we can do to will ourselves out of bed and grab a fistful of cereal or a crappy granola bar on our way out the door. It’s not like a gourmet breakfastis a realistic everyday goal. But that doesn’t mean we should settle for a sugar rush that will leave us sad and hungry just a half hour later. Being hungry sucks (it’s a scientific fact). So why spend hours cooking a gourmet feast when a nutritious and delicious meal could be only 12 minutes away? Skip the grumbling tummy and cranky guests and serve up any one of these 10 healthy and satisfying meals.

Breakfast

Cacao and Blueberry Smoothie

Um, YUM. This smoothie is full of amazing flavors from blueberry, vanilla, coconut milk, and of course, cacao powder. You can whip this up in under five minutes, but if you’re especially lazy in the morning, just make at night to take on the go the next day.

Nut Butter, Banana, and Chia Seed Toast

Nut Butter, Banana, and Chia Seed Toast

Try this superfood twist on classic PB and toast with 1/2 a banana (sliced) and a sprinkle of chia, which is packed with vitamins and minerals (like six times more calcium than milk!).

http://www.oliveandbasillj.com  +1 858 412-4912 Breakfast in La Jolla

Honey Lemon Ricotta Breakfast Toast

Say goodbye to boring toast. This version dresses up a piece of bread with ricotta, lemon, figs, honey, and pistachios for a fancy (but super-fast) breakfast treat. Pro tip: these guys work great as apps if you put them on crostini’s instead.

http://www.oliveandbasillj.com  +1 858 412-4912 Breakfast in La Jolla

Berry and Yogurt Smoothie

Here’s a simple and delicious smoothie for the morning rush. Blend frozen fruit (banana and berries work well) with Greek yogurt and a liquid of your choice (milk, juice, coconut water—whatever you like). Freeze overnight and thaw throughout the day to enjoy in the afternoon or blend up in the morning.

Poached Egg and Avocado Breakfast Salad

You can have salad for breakfast as healthy breakfast, too. Just whip up a poached egg (or any other style you love) and toss it in a bowl with some tomatoes, lettuce, cooked quinoa, avo, and pistachios for an added crunch. Just cook the quinoa the night before if you want it truly under 12 minutes.

Savory Oatmeal with an Egg

Take oatmeal to a whole new level by making it savory. Prepare as usual with milk or water, but add a pinch of salt and pepper instead of any cinnamon or sugar. Then top with an over-easy or poached egg and sprinkle on a little cheese for an extra tasty kick.

Healthy Single Serving Blueberry Muffin

This healthy breakfast is a little more of a healthy dessert, but we’ll let it slide. Made from healthier subs like sorghum flour, applesauce, almond milk, and flaxseed, this quick microwavable muffin is a guilt-free way to start your morning.

Quinoa Fruit Salad

Spice up a plain old fruit cup with a scoop of quinoa. Toss the whole shebang around until the quinoa is evenly distributed. Add a dressing of honey, lime, and basil for a little extra body.

Pina Colada Yogurt Parfaits

Take a trip to the tropics with this pineapple and coconut flavored breakfast. We love pairing these sweet fruits with the bitterness of Greek yogurt to balance out the flavors.

http://www.oliveandbasillj.com  +1 858 412-4912 Breakfast in La Jolla

Tomato Toast with Macadamia Ricotta

Here’s a healthier take on a classic breakfast sandwich: Take 2 slices of a hearty whole-grain bread, spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of homemade macadamia ricotta cheese, and sprinkle with shiso or basil, kosher salt, and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Add 1-2 hearty slices of fresh heirloom tomatoes (blotted with paper towel to remove excess liquid) and enjoy.

LGUs get flour donation to boost food rations amid Covid crisis

#PHnews: LGUs get flour donation to boost food rations amid Covid crisis

MANILA – San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has donated over 8,400 sacks of flour to local government units (LGUs) and bakeries in Metro Manila to keep small businesses afloat while ensuring that affordable and nutritious loaves of bread are available to their respective communities.

A 25-kilogram bag of flour can make about 1,600 pieces of pandesal.

SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said the donation of flour, the main ingredient in making bread, will supplement the local government units’ food rations and provide added nutrition needed to help keep citizens healthy against the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The local government units need all the support they can get in making sure that their citizens do not go hungry and are free from an illness during the Covid-19 pandemic. Aside from our food donations, we’re providing them flour for them to bake bread,” Ang said.

This, he added, will also provide some relief to small bakers struggling to stay afloat.

The flour donations were distributed to Manila, Caloocan, Las Pinas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Paranaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela, Pateros.

Outside of Metro Manila, SMC has also donated to Batangas, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija as well as to four army camps and two non-government organizations.

Many of the LGUs have started partnering with their local bakeshops to produce pandesal, nutribun and other kinds of bread to be sold at a discount to their constituents. The bread was also produced for distribution to impoverished communities as well as front-liners, including medical workers who are serving at local hospitals.

He cited as examples the cities of Navotas, which has distributed SMC’s flour donations to 32 bakeries in exchange for discounted bread sold to its residents, and Valenzuela, which engaged local bakeries to make bread to be distributed for free to front-liners.

“By engaging the local bakeshops, we are also helping sustain these small businesses that were affected by the lockdown and have experienced a loss of income. We will devise more ways to make sure that food donations will be available to everybody and to those who need it most,” he said.

Apart from Metro Manila, SMC has also started donating flour to cities and barangays in the neighboring provinces of Batangas and Bulacan.

Ang gave assurances that SMC will continue to help the national government and the LGUs in fighting off the Covid-19 pandemic any way it can, and by ensuring a stable supply of food in groceries, supermarkets, wet markets, and other distribution channels.

At the start of the enhanced community quarantine, SMC assured the public that it had sufficient stocks to last for at least six months and that its plants would run 24/7.

On a daily basis, SMC produces 2.11 million kilograms of flour/baked goods (flour, biscuits, pandesal, and nutribuns); 1.96 million kilograms of fresh meats (poultry, beef, and pork); and 524,000 kilograms of processed meats (canned meat, nuggets, and hotdogs).

“Once again, we want to assure our kababayans that food supply is stable and there is no need to hoard. While we are doing this, we are also keeping in mind those who do not have enough money to support themselves and their families,” Ang said.

To date, SMC has donated a total of PHP220-million worth of canned goods, meat products, biscuits, bread, and coffee, for distribution to depressed communities through the LGUs, non-profit organizations, charitable institutions, and church-based groups.

It has also doubled its commitment to donate 500,000 kilos of rice and has so far sourced 1.1 million kilos of rice worth PHP38 million for delivery to beneficiary communities and families. (PR)
