Raspberry And Cottage Cheese Muffins


Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.
Recently, I’ve celebrated my birthday and I decided to bake some sweet muffins. This might sound a bit girlish, but in the end, who doesn’t love muffins? Surely, even the toughest men must have a weak spot for them. So, let’s get started!
In this short recipe blog post, I will help you make some raspberry and cottage cheese muffins.
muffins1
Samsung NX10 │ 10.0s │ f22.0 │ 30mm │ ISO 100
Here are the ingredients we’ll need:
270 g flour
175 g very fine sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
a pinch of salt
2 eggs
4 teaspoons of sunflower oil
3 dl of skimmed milk
125 g skimmed cottage cheese
350 g fresh raspberries
If you have collected all of the above, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get started!

Take a somewhat large bowl and mix all of the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with a big spoon. Make sure you mix it well.

After you’ve finished, take an even bigger bowl and mix the remaining ingredients: the eggs, oil, milk and cheese. Use a hand mixer. I think it’s a good idea to add the cheese at the end and leave it a bit cluttered. This will result in nice cheesy bits in the muffins. After mixing these ingredients, add the mix of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to it. Mix everything again so you get a nice batter.

Finally, add the raspberries. Make sure they are divided over the batter, but try not to squish them.

Now it’s time to divide the batter over your muffins tins. Fill them about 2/3 of the way full. You could also add those paper muffins shapes in the tin, but I chose not to use them since I didn’t have any!. You should have enough batter for about 12 to 16 muffins.
You can also use other berries like blueberries or strawberries in the recipe. Another tip for you: if you have a lot of berries in your batter, try not to have berries at the bottom of the muffin tin. This will give you a muffin with a moist berry at the bottom, it looks a bit wonky!

Preheat your oven at 175°C and bake the muffin batter for about 20 minutes.

All done!

Take the muffin tin out (be careful!) and leave the muffins in for about 5 minutes. Next, take them out and let them rest on a wire rack to cool down. It’s a bit fiddly to take them out when you don’t use muffin papers.

Now for the best step: eat them all!! Perhaps give away a few, but eat most of them yourself because you did a fine job! :)

Amazing Japan – Part II

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.
As promised from my last blog post, I have more photos to share with you from my three week trip to Japan last summer. The photos in this blog post were all taken during the second half of our trip to Kanazawa, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Kobe and Hakone. The camera used was the Samsung NX10. Even after hundreds of photos, we were still surprised at how easy it was to snap some sharp shots. No time to lose with changing lenses, settings or putting away the camera. It has the perfect size to carry around all-day a trip.
Hope you enjoy the photos!

Lake Gouët, My French Hometown

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.
Today I decided to introduce you “Le Gouët”. It’s a lake located close to my hometown in France, where I enjoy the beauty of nature since I am a child.

Brief history
It is a drinkable water reserve for all the villages that stand around, an artificial lack; the water is maintained by a dam build in 1978. Nevertheless, it is an amazing wild place where live a big number of birds and fishes. For me, who has born in 1986 and who’s always seeing this area as a big water reservoir, it’s incredible to think that before, “Le Gouët” was a tiny river as being shown on the engraving below made in 1892.

Activities around the lake
At this time of the year, people enjoy to pick mushrooms, chestnut, or wild berries. With my friends I regularly have a beer by the shores waiting a fish bites our hooks. It’s a refreshing and quite place but It is also where I become exhausted trying to follow my father who is an experienced jogger. Today it becomes my favorite place to walk with my Samsung NX10 in the hand.

I grew up with this lake
During my childhood I built many wounds on trees close to the water. Then, when I grew up I had parties on its beaches, playing guitar around a campfire and slipping in a rudimentary camp. And finally I used this peaceful and romantic place as a seduction tool by having a moment without word with a woman I’ve met, who became later my lovely mate.

I love to take pictures of “Le Gouët”
Lake Gouët has various colors depending on seasons. Spring and summer are the best period to capture bursting colors, but automn and winter are also lovely for its delicate texture. It gives me powerful imaginations with its changing tones. I just appreciate all that I see around the lake. Such a comfortable feeling, when I simply go for a walk, or even with electronic musics. Since I got the Samsung NX10, what my feelings tell can be exactly realised by images.
