And the Oscar goes to...movie inspired Zazzle products!


Check out Hollywood Invitations online at zazzle


Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented on Sunday, February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood and Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The event will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

The Academy is an honorary membership organization founded in 1927 by 36 of the most influential men and women in the motion picture industry at the time. Unfortunately, I watched only a few of the 83rd Academy Awards nominated movies so I can’t have an opinion on how Oscars should be distributed. The movie-going experience is just wonderful. I can forget about everything else when I watch a good movie. I was a passionate moviegoer in the past. Back then I had months when I watched movies every day counting with home video. I was told by American friends that I knew more about classic American movies than they did! I like all sorts of movies from all countries and from all times. Also, documentary movies and animation feature long or short. It’s difficult for me to pick a favorite director or actor/actress or movie.


It wasn’t easy also to pick a few Zazzle products inspired by movies or Hollywood life! After searching for a while these got into my list!


This list has two sections - the first one is Gift section and it features Zazzle products you can buy for yourself or for movie fans. The second is the Movie Party Invitation section! Hope you enjoy it!

Katy Perry on stage - California Dreams Tour First concert- Lisbon




Katy Perry performed yesterday in Lisbon with great success. Katy did not just sing. The show involved mime, dance, video and even trapeze over two hours. Katy was very friendly and enthusiastic about her presence in Lisbon delivering two hours of great entertainment that will stay in fans memory. The stage was decorated with giant lollipops and there were three giant screens where you could see images associated with the songs, images of pop icons, cartoons and fans too. Katy has changed her visual a dozen times! The songs I Kissed a Girl, Ur So Gay, Peacock, Circle the Drain, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away were expected. Some surprises: Katy Perry also included Only Girl (In The World) by Rihanna. But it was her greatest successes that put the public pounding: Hot N 'Cold, California Gurls and especially Firework. The show also included Last Friday Night (TGIF) and closed down in the encore with a version of I Want to Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston. Then Katy Perry danced with her cat and invited some spectators to the stage! "I chose to start the tour here because I am a little Portuguese, "she said. Guess what - her mother is Luso-descendant.

Katy Perry starts The California Dreams Tour in Portugal


Katy Perry starts the California Dreams Tour today in Portugal. She will be singing hits from 'One of the Boys' (2008) and 'Teenage Dream' (2010), including 'I Kissed a Girl ', 'Hot'n'Cold' and 'California Gurls'. Lisbon is the first city to host the new international tour of the singer, which includes more than 90 concerts by the end of the year. It’s the second time she’s performing for the Portuguese public. Watch Katy at children’s program Sesame’s Street banned video. It seems she was too sexy for Elmo.

Quit smoking Bumper Sticker


First I created a category of products aimed for children because they are victims of secondhand smoke. If they are aware of it they can react near smoking adults. Then I created this one. It can be used for the same purpose. Use this on your car, help to spread the word.


Smoke inhaled by smokers contains many dangerous chemicals. Secondhand smoke contains many of that same chemicals. It contains higher concentrations of many of the toxins found in cigarette smoke! The USA National Toxicology Program estimates that at least 250 chemicals in secondhand smoke are known to be toxic or carcinogenic! Secondhand smoke has been designated as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing agent) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and an occupational carcinogen by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Why? It contains more than 50 cancer-causing chemicals! When nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke, they inhale many of the same cancer-causing chemicals that smokers inhale. So, there are monsters in secondhand smoke. They will harm your health in many ways. Maybe you were not aware of it too!

Portuguese Sweet Rice Recipe

Mondego River Rice Fields


Cross pattern made with cinnamon

Sweet Rice is a typical Portuguese dessert. It's popular in Brazil too. In some regions when people were about to get married, it was traditional to give a Sweet Rice dish to friends or just people they knew. In return, they would receive money! My mother still did that in the fifties. I do not know if it’s just a tradition of rural areas surrounding rice fields. I live near River Mondego rice fields. It’s a beautiful landscape that changes constantly throughout the year. At first, fields are the earth color, then they become big lakes and reflect the color of the skies, then they turn green when the rice starts to grow and finally the end golden. I remember eating this dessert since very early years. Then I learned how to do it from my mother of course. There are several recipes. Some have egg yolks and butter. This one has not but it’s still delicious and less fatty. Here’s the recipe for you.


Ingredients you need

1,5 Kg White Rice ( The grain should be round not long. Long grains are thinner and the final result will not be as good.) = 3.3 lbs
1, 5 Kg Sugar = 3.3 lbs
2 L Milk = 3.51 pt
1 mug Water
1 Lemon rind
Salt
Toppings: Cinnamon


How to prepare the Sweet Rice

Wash and drain white rice.

Bring milk and water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add salt and taste to your liking. Keep stirring the milk or it will glue to the bottom! I use a wooden spoon.

Add rice and let it boil for 5 minutes.

Add the lemon rind. Remember, keep stirring constantly!

Remove the lemon rind after 10 minutes or it might get into small pieces or dissolve.

Low the temperature but let it boil slowly for 25-30 minutes. The rice must be cooked. You can try it to see if the grains are still hard.

Add the sugar and keep stirring for more 10 minutes. The liquid is still evaporating. How do you know it’s ready? When the spoon can stand up alone in the middle of the rice. It will also thicken some while cooling.

You can then remove from heat and pour on a large serving bowl. Spread the rice flat. You can also pour into small individual dishes.

To decorate you sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Or you can use cinnamon to create traditional cross patterns by pinching a bit between your fingers and place over the rice continuously. Most people serve Sweet Rice cold. I like it hot! If you live in a very hot region you should refrigerate the rice. In my house, we never put the Sweet Rice in the fridge also because it doesn’t last very long!

Bom apetite!
