bolo húmido de chocolate bem fácil

4 ovos
2 chávenas de chá de açúcar
1 chávena de chá de chocolate em pó
2 chávenas de chá de farinha
1 chávena de óleo
1 chávena de água quente com fermento qb


Pré-aquecer o forno a uma tempertura média (ou 200graus)
O bolo deve ficar húmido por dentro, para ficar mesmo delicioso.
Fiz a metade das quantidades acima descritas e a cozedura demorou bem menos do que 30 minutos para ficar pronto. infelizmente o bolo nao cresceu muito, será mesmo assim, ou a água com o fermento estava demasiado quente?

Directing, where to begin

I'm directing a film (first timer). Sounds exciting but at the present time I still have no clue how it is going to be: I'm guessing very difficult.

I'm going to post my thoughts on this project because it also helps me think clearly and write important things down!

There are a couple of phases that you and your team have to go through before starting to go onto locations to shoot.
We're still in the "Storming" phase.
There are also Forming, Performing and Evaluating (don't know who came up with these but there might be other as well somewhere in the middle)

The first and most important step is planning your work.
As soon as I receive the script/screenplay I will visit possible filming locations, and not just take a look and see if they fit, but I will have to check every single detail, meaning lighting and noise sources as space facilities that could be appropriate for our story. You need to check if there is an electrical socket somewhere near the place you're filming, if you are shooting indoors for example, because you might need artificial light that illuminates your subjects.
I'll also take a camera with me and photograph the locations so I can draw a storyboard.
The storyboard is very important. It will be your guide during filming and should allow you to calculate how long the film will be. In our case it cannot be longer than 10 minutes and this has to be kept in mind during the making of the storyboard.

Mind the following recommendations!

I heard from a professional in the movie/advertising business that the most important aspect of the film is editing (Fr: montage/ De: Schnitt)
even if you have the best actors, the best story, the most expensive camera, a bad editing work will ruin your film.
On the other end of the spectrum, a teacher of mine says that the most important attracting factor of the film is sound, so if your short film does not have a clean sleek sound, then you don't have a chance!
But he also says that we should try to replace as much of the spoken text as possible with images, because our brain is able to understand a complex story if we see it with our eyes. Hearing a complex story is difficult to follow and kind of boring for many.

I came upon a very interesting website, about many many things: how to grow garlic, or how to save money on eggs by raising chicken =) it also has some new and quick recipes like their "easy coffee cake recipe". yummi!
funny and refreshing ideas from Blagger

I also found a very interesting Vlog User called Sarah. In her channel she makes a lot of videos explaining how she used to live during the depression. She had to live sometimes without any toilett paper, coffee or tee, so she teaches you about all the alternatives.
All the videos I watched are extremely interesting and educational. I have learned a lot thanks to her. =)

short story

Winter 2008 by Mariana Agria


We had been walking for miles and I was starting to become tired, not only because my feet had started to ache but also because Joe could not stop talking. He was not like the other boys I knew from school. He seemed much more shy when he was with the other classmates. I don’t know why I decided to ask him where he was going after school. Now his trifling conversations were boring me. He was telling me about how he once got himself cut in a crevice on that very same spot where we were standing when he suddenly chuckled. He was starting to annoy me with his silly stories. ‘Here it was! See that crack over there on that rock? We were running from the shepherd when I suddenly fell and cut my hand.’
‘Why were even you running from a shepherd?’ I asked quickly, suspecting foul play. He did not answer right away, I think he was pondering if should tell me the reason or not. I harkened while he strode along the roadside. ‘Well, I was with the other guys from school and we kind of got mad at the sheep because they were so loud. We were trying to take a nap on the grass and they were really loud. One of the sheep just had had little lambs and you can’t imagine how loud they all were. So… You know Tom? Tom and me, we stifled one of the baby lambs…’
I was vexed and could not believe him. He kept going as if was a natural thing, explaining how he had deceived the shepherd when he found out one of the sheep had died. Then he started praising his own sagacity and his cunning behavior, because he had been much smarter than Tom. ‘You see, he does not even know how to trick somebody during a chase. I do!’
