Zuppa di cavolo viola - Purple cabbage soup


Ciao a tutti!
Oggi vi racconto come fare questa bellissima(e buonissima!)zuppa viola.


Vi serviranno,per 4 porzioni:

Mezzo cavolo cappuccio viola
una piccola cipolla rossa
2 patate
750 ml di brodo vegetale(o 750 ml di acqua e 1 dado e 1/2)
olio evo
sale e pepe 
parmigiano e/o crostini(facoltativi)

Ho soffritto un pò la cipolla tagliata a fettine sottili in qualche cucchiaio di olio evo,ho aggiunto il cavolo tagliato a listarelle piccole e le patate a piccoli cubetti.Dopo aver fatto cuocere per una decina di minuti(aggiungete un minimo d'acqua se attacca),ho aggiunto l'acqua ed il dado,e ho continuato a cuocere per 30/40 minuti.Quando le verdure sono diventate morbide e cotte, ho frullato tutto col frullatore ad immersione,ho aggiustato di sale(occhio perchè il dado già ne contiene),ho versato nei piatti ed ho aggiunto un cucchiaio d'olio a crudo,del pepe nero e qualche scaglia di parmigiano(se la volete vegana,è buonissima anche senza!).Io la trovo molto buona e con un colore superscenografico!

Sul "cosa me ne faccio dell'altra metà cavolo?",posso consigliarvi di mangiarlo assieme all'insalata,sempre tagliato a listarelline!Io in realtà sono partita aggiungendo una alla volta le foglie esterne a vari giorni di insalata,finchè è diventato un pò + piccino e l'ho usato per la zuppa ;)

Fatemi sapere se la fate,come al solito !!!!!

Ciao e alla prossima :D

Hello everyone! 
Today I will tell you how to make this beautiful (and delicious!) Purple soup. 


You will need for 4 servings: 

Half purple cabbage 
a small red onion 
2 potatoes 
750 ml of vegetable broth (or 750 ml of water and 1 stock cube and 1/2) 
extra virgin olive oil 
salt and pepper 
parmesan cheese and / or croutons (optional) 

I sauteed the onion, thinly sliced, ​​in a few tablespoons of oil, I added the shredded cabbage and potatoes cut into small cubes.After letting it cook for ten minutes(don't let it stick!add a tiny bit of water if it does), I added water and stock cubes and I continued to cook it for 30-40 minutes.When the vegetables are soft and cooked, I blended everything with the immersion blender, I seasoned with salt (watch out because some is already in the stock cube), I poured in the plates and added a tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper and a few flakes of parmesan(don't add the cheese for the vegan version,it's very good anyway!).I find it very yummy and with a color that looks amazing!!!!

On the "what the hell do I do with the other half?", I can recommend eating it with the salad,shredded! I actually started by adding the outer leaves of lettuce for several days, until it became half smaller and I used it for soup;) 

Let me know if you do it, as usual !!!!! 


Hello and see ya next time :D

Halloween 2013 makeup experiments ^^

Hi everyone!
I've already made a Halloween 2013 post(click here to read it) with pics and vids from really talented people that make gorgeous stuff,this is just me playin' around without having a precise idea of what i'm doin' ^^

I've seen somewhere the "stitched lips" detail,and wanted so bad to give it a try,but was not sure on what to do with the rest of my face....i smeared a mixture of grey,yellow and black eyeshadow on my face to give me a "sick" look,then added the black eyeshadow to deepen my dark circles  and red eyeshadow under the eyes and i lined the waterline with a red lip pencil.

On with the stitches!I added some more yellow and brown,with some azure here and there,around the lips,to give a hint of bruising.I made some yellow dots where i wanted the stitches ,then on top of them i put some red e/d,then some black pencil,and blended.
For the stitches i used some standard sewing thread,i attached it with eyelashes glue,then added some red eyeshadow over the dried glue,and since i thought it needed to look wetter,i added some lipgloss,did not have a red or clear one,so i had to use one with gold glitters.Not that it really shows,but if i had a red one it would have been better,imho.

Have a fun and safe Halloween 2013!
XOXO,Mela.

Ciao a tutte!

Ho già fatto un post su Halloween,fatto da gente che se ne intende davvero (potete trovarlo cliccando qui),qua ci sono solo io che mi sono pasticciata un pò a casaccio;per le labbra ho usato del semplice filo da cucito incollato sopra dei puntini fatti con matita gialla,ombretto rosso e matita nera sfumati fra loro,mediante colla da ciglia finte.Ho poi aggiunto del lucidalabbra sui puntini per dare l'effetto "umido".La carnagione è dipinta un pò a chiazze con giallo,grigio e azzurro,attorno alle labbra giallo,marrone anche lì in man iera sfumata irregolarmente.Occhiaie enfatizzate da ombretto nero,rosso sotto e dentro gli occhi.

Non è un capolavoro,ma mi sono divertita!La bocca mi piace assai com'è venuta.

Ciao a tutte e ...
