QUEEN VICTORIA'S GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN


I like eating delish meat!

Cooking food at home is my magic wand and they all appreciate everything about it; from the preparation of ingredients to eating together. This is one great reason why I don't buy processed food or indulge myself in buying instant products at the supermarket. It doesn't mean I dislike them!

I have eaten Roasted Chicken that was cooked and bought from the supermarket, in particular, Garlic Roasted Chicken. The taste was really finger licking good; scrumptious!

When I was at the supermarket last time, I bought a whole chicken and challenged myself to cook my own recipe version of Garlic Roasted Chicken.

Sauce Ingredients: 
  • 5 cloves of garlic, crashed 
  • 2 slices of onion, chopped 
  • 3 tbsps. of Wine Vinegar 
  •  ½ tsp. Ground pepper 
  • 2 tsps. of honey 
  • a pinch of mixed herbs 
  • 3 stalks of lemon grass, cut each into 2 (ginger is an option) 
  • salt to taste
Sauce Preparation:
  1. Mix the garlic, onion, vinegar and honey in a saucepan. Stir well.
  2. Add the pepper and mixed herbs. Stir well again. 
  3. Add and soak the lemon grass in the mixture. 
  4. Once all mixed, bring it to the boil for 3 minutes on a moderate heat. 
  5. Let it cool for 5 minutes before adding it to your chicken.
Main Ingredient:
  • A whole chicken (free range, if possible as the extra flavour is worth the money)
Marinating Procedure:
  1. Wash and rinse the chicken. 
  2. Prepare a container and lay the meat in it. 
  3. Use a spoon to pour the sauce mixture over the meat. Turn-over and do the same. 
  4. Cover the container and leave it for a night (marinating process). 
  5. After marinating the chicken, don't throw the sauce mixture. Bring it to the boil and use it as a greasing ingredient when roasting the chicken.
Roasting Procedure:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC. 
  2. Prepare a roasting tray with rack on it and lay the marinated chicken. As we are using an oven, the tray will hold the excess oil while roasting. 
  3. Roast it for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown. 
  4. Check it every 25-30 minutes and turning it occasionally. Brush the chicken with the boiled sauce mixture.
This is a flavoursome way of roasting a whole chicken and an addtional recipe to be served on the table for your loving family and closests friends this Christmas season as well as the New Year!

The 10 invited willful candidates landed in north-central Switzerland in preparation to flaunting their physical attractiveness; revealing their awe-inspiring self esteem and to promulgate their coherent intelligence on stage. They participated in the EuroTrans beauty pageant which was affiliated with the masquerade theme event of the Starlite Charity. A EuroAsian club based in Zurich, Switzerland with a core mission of raising funds in order to subsidize and support their various yearly virtuous projects.

On the 25th of November this year, a EuroTrans beauty pageant with a benevolent mission took place in Zurich, Switzerland and held at Hilton Hotel Kloten. The 10 admirable candidates competed and were determined to vie for the coveted title of Miss Queen Zurich 2017. Succeedingly, a proud daughter of Davao City (the largest city in terms of land area in the Philippines and sonorous as the Durian capital of the country) who has been living in Vienna, Austria triumphantly engaged and defeated her fellow rivals. Factually speaking, she was a well-accomplished title holder in her town back then who was once trained to compete in many prestigious events around Davao City and its neighbouring regions.

This year's top dog for Miss Queen Zurich has been known to her family and friends as well as recognised by her followers on social media under the name of Mcay XuXu Huber. In addition to this, there were also minor awards recipients who deserved acknowledgement because of their amiable heart to fellow candidates; their effortless natural flair in front of the people; their sophisticated strut during the informal attire and great confidence in exhibiting their feminine figure on stage. Namely, Miss Amanda Roberts of the United Kingdom who received the Miss Congeniality sash for winning the affection of many candidates; Miss Charlene Monteverde of Switzerland who received the Best In Talent as per the unanimous score sheets of the jury and Miss Iwa Moto of the United Kingdom for leading in 2 categories, thus taking home the Best in Casual Wear and the Best in Bikini citations. There was also a special award sobriquet as Darling of the Crowd which was earned by Miss Charlene Monteverde. She was the guests' favourite who invigorated colourfully the formality of the entire event because of her high-spirited personality.

The ultimate part of the event was the announcement of runners-up and the winner of Miss Queen Zurich 2017 title. The unanimously declared winner didn't just solely own the stage as it was also corralled by her decorous runners-up...

Huge congratulations are warranted to the organisers on the effervescent success of its EuroTrans beauty pageant this year. More importantly, a big KUDOS to the altruistic candidates for unconditionally and continuously preserving the golden status quo at heart of the LGBTQI+ community around the world.

COCOROSE LONDON LUXE FOLDABLE BALLERINA SHOES IN RED MOSAIC FLOWER

She can walk evenly and strut in stiletto heels as well as occasionally adoring the excitement of being on the elated tower. However, when it is time to eat humble pie you will always see her taking refuge in comfortably convenient flat shoes.

Over the past years of wearing flat shoes she has recommend mustily that stretching the Achilles collar, vamp and toe cap of your newly bought pair(s) of shoes is essential. It is a precondition which will forestall the cause of friction blisters that can be quite painful when acquired and the healing process can take between 6 and by 24 hours. Such a sudden displeasure! I am sure that at some point in your life you have experienced this skin damage inflammation which resulted to an astasia footstep.

In the days of yore, finicky shoe buyers tend to hire a professional cobbler for a fee in order to stretch-out their newly purchased footwear. That is why, town centres had local shops which provided this type of service where the owner/manager would employ someone for that purpose. A person with similar measurements to your feet whose ad hoc purpose was to walk back & forth in a hygienic clear room. This type of shoe stretching course would take hours or days and would also depend upon how snug the customer would like the fit.

That was the old slang syne...

Today, the quality of shoes created and then sold into the market vary in their different material compositions. In particular, the finer the leather that has been used in making and shaping a pair of shoes, the more expensive they will be. Realistically speaking, most people will buy lesser quality ones in order to save money with the expectation that they will replace them after wearing for a few times. You really cannot blame them especially if you are on a tight budget. Some, of course, just desire changing regularly so that they always have cool personal attire. As a matter of fact, she was once attracted to the unsophisticated idea of buying cheap items for personal and fashionable look.

According to her as she grows older, her perception in life has move progressively. This has involved valuing in many ways the way she treats herself. One of many is the way she obtains tangible objects which will last for years and also, endure the test of time. She is more incline to searching for quality made products and has also adapted a prudent attitude when buying. The last time she bought an upmarket item, she didn't buy it right away like some of us would do. She waited for the right time until she found a reasonable offer on the designer brand's respective website. What an auspicious and fortunate lady!

Recently, she ventured out the thought of buying a pair of hand-crafted ballerina shoes. An eccentric pair of a very unconventional configuration but with practicable packaging. They have been gaining acknowledgement in the world of women's fashion as their happy and pleased customers have published videos onto the powerful web. They highlighted the extreme softness of their cushioned insoles; the suppleness of their structure and the durability of the soles. When she first used this pair of pumps, there was superior comfort and protection especially around the Achilles collar of the flats. Moreover, she finds the black signature travel zipped purse (pouch) with slip-in pocket very stylishly functional. The clever slip-in pocket at the back contains an accompanying shoulder bag which you can use to place your heels and carry sprucely. Actually, she likes holding the purse by itself as it resembles a prevailing clutch bag. Nonetheless, it always ends up neatly in her handbag.


She was quite apprehensive that she will never like the bizarre red mosaic flowers foldable ballerina shoes of Cocorose London and also, that it would disintegrate after a few hours of being worn. Evidently speaking, when she used them as her core shoes last time the elemental composition was of substantial quality and the over-all structure proved to be comfortable.

She can now say that her pair of smart classic Cocorose London foldable ballerina flats has the simplest shape; that make the strongest statement. Altogether, its versatility is an ultimate wardrobe staple for busy, on-the-go and colourful women.

LIP GLOSS: THE LAST NIGHT AT EDEN BAR, BIRMINGHAM


 
We were dressed-up and ready to hit the glossy town in our chosen guises...

Last Friday night, I ameliorated my attire with plain accessories to correspond with the simplicity of my beauty. On the other hand, my sister embraced the demeanour of a glamorous lady with her floor-length turtle neck appliqué gown in striking red. Exquisitely, she finished her aura by pulling back her silky locks and styled in wavy curls. I have to admit that this sensible hairstyle gave more eminence on the heart shape feature of her forehead. 


I was short-fused upon seeing her and didn't hesitate in arresting Miss Dayanara Mesmeize onto the grounds for outcasting my beauty (LOL)! 

Our chauffeur dropped us as at Eden Bar where we were welcomed by the resolutely magnificent Lip Gloss' organisers...

The heavy downpour of rain just stopped and petered out to fine drops. What a reviving touch and refreshing sensation given freely by Mother Nature and this was only interrupted when the pre-arranged taxi showed up. Then, we were driven to a Victoria inspired corner building at 116 Sherlock Street, Birmingham. It was a 2-storey refurbished establishment and on entering there was a relaxingly straightforward floor plan. For instance, the small-scale dance floor on the left side had a DJ booth; the inviting couch corner for the legs of binge drinkers; the slightly conspicuous beer joint bar in the middle because of the sheathed pillar; the fantastic outdoor area with airy garden connecting to the vaporous (smoking) site and an indoor game pool zone which was next to the lavatories. Wait a minute, there was an appended double door push bar, too! It was the egress leading to the marquee's domain with an elegant decorated ceiling in metallic silver and established with a cocktail lounge bar on the left, a sturdy elevated stage in the middle, a DJ booth on the right and comforted tables & chairs all set out. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The farewell night unfolded... 

We were greeted inside the marquee by the enthusiastic organisers, Miss Tiffany Jones and Miss Cassandra Mae Madrigal, who also welcomed us with a glass of champagne. Both of the organisers were naturally regal in their post Halloween fashion ensembles. Apart from them, some of the guests were wearing daring attire and alluring costumes which were keenly appreciated by the scarce eagled eye admirers.

The venue was ameliorated with reserved tables & chairs for the distinguished guests and a classroom seating arrangement for the invited family & admirers. Geographically speaking, a few of the out-of-towners were from different parts of the United Kingdom who travelled for one purpose. Predominantly, we were there to drink a toast on the ultimate night and after 5 years of triumphs and failures of Lip Gloss. It's a closing celebration and we all highly acknowledged the unceasing determination of the organisers and were strongly reminded of its succinct objectives as a fabulous transgender event. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The core of its objectives as a transgender event in Birmingham is to promote equality, diversity and cohere the transgender community as a family. One of the essentials is to provide a friendly and lively environment at Eden Bar which will encourage crossdressers and transgender to wholly embrace their true identities and selves. A rendezvous brimming with warmth hospitality and cordial people with the same interests and are also in support for combatting society's twisted dogma and discrimination towards the transgender community. Benevolently speaking, this non-judgemental event has a commitment in offering rational communication for partners and relatives to better understand their crossdressers and transgender loved ones. Moreover, this one night event has a desideratum to preserve the transgender community in Midlands and then soundly unites its name all throughout the United Kingdom. 

The celebration progressed with entertaining laudable performances and an occupying aphrodisiac... 

The disco tail lights were on and fixated their brightness onto the stage. In a spur we were overpowered by the quip presence of a Live Cabaret Artiste, Miss Penny. She was dazzling in her thigh-length glossy body hugging dress covered in green sequins. To boot, she surfaced with an intimidating look because of the well-contoured facial cosmetics and the volume 60's sexy bomb hairstyle. Her banter and sarcasm amusedly tickled the audience as well as delighted us with her vocal performance.

Miss Penny didn't just devour the stage all alone; she also shared the spotlight with 3 cheerful guests during the the Hula Hoop game. 

After the frolicsome and wiggly performance, we were then invited to enjoy the tasty complimentary canapés. There was a good humoured queue and the prepared light finger food choices were appetising. Our tummies were filled and our energy levels were sustained which kept us all on the qui vive for the rest of the show. 

The venue's fluorescent lights faded and turned dim, thereupon the Drag Idol UK 2016 Finalist and Live Vocalist, Brenda LaBeau, emerged on stage. Her silvery high-pitched voice spiced us with her rendition of “Show a little more, Show a little less...” soundtrack of the Goddess of Pop, Cher, entitled “Welcome To Burlesque”. 
(The Drag Idol UK 2016 Finalist and Live Vocalist, Brenda LaBeau)

After the stunning vocal cords of Brenda LaBeau, she also cheered us with some practical jokes. We were cracked-up and our frisky reaction intensified the venue's mild atmosphere. On top of that, the much anticipated entrance of the male stripper, Icon, who showed up from the crowd made the scene more stimulating. He was in his controlled funky style clothes and one by one, he uncovered and exposed his nakedness. To be more specific, he gained the boldness of his manliness when he took onto the stage 2 of the guests who erotically engaged with during his turtle's pace jiggle and stir. 

With that occupying aphrodisiac concluded, the riveting main hostess for 3 years, Miss Penny, and the stunning Brenda LaBeau called onto stage the company of the unceasing organisers. Sadly, one of the three pillars in the creation of Lip Gloss named Miss Tiffany Jones left the event early because of their planned vacation for the next day. That is why the remaining two, Miss Cassandra Mae Madrigal and Miss Dayanara Mesmeize, accepted wholeheartedly the commendable words given by the hostesses and the audience also gave a great expression of approval. What a standing ovation to which they, the organisers, also distinctively awarded the handcrafted sash for this year's Miss Lip Gloss: Queen of the Night.

The magnificent organisers, Miss Cassandra Mae Madrigal, Miss Dayanara Mesmeize and Miss Tiffany Jones, created the fabulous Lip Gloss to celebrate the community's revelation of strong-minded crossdressers and palpable transgender. For 5 years of pursuing, they have turned this bedrock event at Eden Bar into a safe haven for sexually questioning and evolving individuals who fear society's prejudice towards the LGBTQI+ community. We, the family & supporters, should all not forget their clear objectives and more importantly the organisers who showed perseverance without anticipating a single debt of gratitude. Forthrightly, we must stop factions that divide us and also, to put an end to various unhealthy competitions amongst us. In lieu, we must support one another to hold up the flexible and solid foundation of our characters and self-esteem.

If there is a beginning, there is an end. Per contra, farewell doesn't staggeringly portend the edge to a complete stop as it can also be considered as a milestone for a new beginning!

THE STRAIN: THE GORE CONTINUES



A commercial airliner from Berlin, Germany landed and stood still at Kennedy airport, New York. The air traffic controller who was communicating with the perplexed pilots heard some unexplainable turmoil and rattling noises from the passengers on board. He could tell over the push-to-talk controller that everyone was in extreme fear as no one knew what was happening and also, some passengers have turned stationary (according to the pilots). Subsequently, the air traffic communication ended and the commercial airliner landed in silence.

The employees at the Kennedy airport were bewildered and witnesses were shocked with fear. But one thing is for sure, it was the beginning of The Master's resurrection after thousands of quiescence.

Different beacons from authorities flashed unceasingly which almost lit the gloomy atmosphere around the airport. It became more threatening when people in white overall uniforms and a team of scientists from Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) arrived in such urgency. They demanded the quarantine of the vicinity before allowing the front passengers' door of the plane to be forcibly opened. The authorities felt the coldness of the interior and were shocked by the static appearance of passengers and the crew. They thought everyone was dead until 4 flustered passengers reached out for help.

Authorities were staggered with the scene and according to Epidemiologist, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his team, a vile plague had infected the passengers. It was an epidemical disease which was unheard-of and unidentified in the field of science. The unknown plague and its symptoms were obscurely mysterious but if you have been infected, it developed gradually inside the human's anatomy. It is the parasitic symbiosis in which the endoparasite lives within the host's body. 
Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll)

The survivors were medically examined but only to discover nothing... 

A few days after the commotion at the airport, the unrestrained survivors felt eerie changes in their taste buds and the sunlight's reflection became unbearable through their eyes. To be more specific, their usual food appetite was replaced with the cravings for blood and their congenital eyes, especially the iris & sclera, were pigmented in red. Above all that, they could hear the domineering and diabolical voice of The Master. 

The essential core of humanity in the survivors was devoured and replaced with a new breed of immortal vampires called Strigoi. They were once human beings who unfortunately infected by a capillary worm that was introduced into their human bloodstream. This capillary worm hosted the genes of a human and created a virus causing a human to undergo numerous radical physical changes. 
When night falls, the infected (soon to be Strigoi) humans loitered around the streets of New York looking for the nutritious blood supply. They surprised the unacquainted locals and sucked the blood out of them using their long, retractable proboscis called “stinger”. Generally speaking, people who were very uninformed of the vile plague news and the new breed of vampires at night were killed and then turned. 

No one had immunity from detrimental effects... 

Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) was very aware of the disease and strongly warned his estranged wife Kelly Goodweather (Natalie Brown) to move out of New York and protect their only son, Zach (Ben Hyland/Max Charles). Unfortunately, when Kelly decided to move out a worm went through her eye when she was struggling in a fight with her newly infected boyfriend, Matt. Apart from her, Dr. Eph also lost his colleague friend, Jim Ken (Sean Astin), when he became infected during the surprise attacked by the Strigoi at a petrol/convenience store. Moreover, in the succeeding episodes a love affair co-worker of Dr. Eph named Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) electrocuted herself by placing a blade onto the train rail after her wrist was bitten by Kelly Goodweather, now a Strigoi.

There were tragic executions of the infected people who were unwilling to participate under The Master's control. On the other hand, there was a developing comradeship who fervently wanted to seek and destroy The Master. Amongst the group were, the holocaust survivor who sculptured The Master's coffin, Professor Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley); the mettlesome rat-exterminator, Vasiliy Fet (Kevin Durand); the sexually confused British hacker who shut down the internet, Dutch Velders (Ruta Gedmintas) and the head of the CDC Canary team who had a protracted nervous breakdown and booze issue, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll).

All throughout the 3 series, this vehement group penetrated the abyss underground (the nesting site) of New York and exterminated Strigoi with the used of silver weapons and fine silver chemical mist. They also captured a few hive mind infected vampires that Dr. Eph experimented on in order to find evasive cures and discover weaknesses. Additionally, they encountered many times the right hand Strigoi of The Master named Thomas Eichorst (Richard Sammel) who had an elbow-grease business relationship with Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde). Mr. Palmer was the chairman of the Stoneheart Investment Group and the primary human ally of The Master who financed the buying of Occido Lumen and supported diabolical ideas of exterminating the human existence.

There was no silver lining... 

The uninfected locals moved further away in the hope of starting a new life free from any harmful civilisation. The desertion was protected by a number of authorities who stood to fight the increasing presence of Strigoi. Sadly, a few of them got infected and decided to terminate their own lives. 

When the hope of exterminating the Strigoi was getting more difficult and up the creek. Dr Eph and Dutch were able to finish their prototype device which hampered the physical abilities and morbid mental state of the vampires.


The prototype device had proven its main functionality in slowing down the Strigoi. Which is why, it was used in the strategy for placing The Master into the coffin lined with silver. The group operated with the help of a rare dhampir hybrid, Quintus "Quinlan" Sertorius (Ruper Penry-Jones) who had powers to match The Master. They also had the medieval manuscript that held the secrets of how to kill the Master, the Occido Lumen.

The plan was ultimately successful and everyone was in a bliss. As a result, the closest and reliable right hand cronies of The Master were in pandemonium as there was no more monstrous voice that instructed them. However, the capturing of The Master was only short lived as the sullen Zach (Max Charles) carried out the activation button of the nuclear weapon. 


There was a massive explosion and vast destruction in the city which led to the freeing of The Master, Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde), once again!
