Kuchen zum Wochenende

Gestern habe ich nach der Premiere neulich wieder einen Kuchen mit Rhabarber gebacken – meine Nachbarin hatte schon wieder welchen übrig.

Chefkoch.de: Rhabarberkuchen mit Vanillecreme und Streuseln.

Der Kuchen ist unkompliziert, allerdings sollte man wirkliche eine Springform mit 28cm Durchmesser verwenden. Meine hatte nur 26cm, so dass der Kuchen etwas zu hoch wurde. Nach dem Vorbacken des Bodens hat nicht der ganze Rhabarber in die Form gepasst, was etwas schade war, aber dem Gesamtergebnis zum Glück keinen Abbruch tat. Nächstes Mal nehme ich die größere Form!

Und notgedrungen koche ich dann demnächst noch Rhabarbermarmelade aus dem übrig gebliebenen Obst… :-)

Der nächste Rhabarberkuchen wird dann diese Rhabarber-Erdbeer-Tarte aus dem Zeit-Magazin (Rezept von Elisabeth Raether).

Ultrasonic Boom

“Beacon technology is also showing up in more physical locations. While the researchers didn’t find any ultrasonic tones being broadcast out on a sampling of television programming from seven countries, they did find that four of the 35 retail stores they visited around Germany did have beacons installed. “It was really interesting to find beacons at the entrance of some stores in two German cities,“ says Erwin Quiring, a privacy and Android security researcher who worked on the study. “It affects all of us if there’s some kind of privacy invasive technique we don’t know about and which runs silently on phones.“ “

The New Yorker: How Trump Could Get Fired. “The Constitution offers two main paths for removing a President from office. How feasible are they?”
By Evan Osnos.

“Hours after Donald Trump’s Inauguration, a post appeared on the official White House petitions page, demanding that he release his tax returns. In only a few days, it gathered more signatures than any previous White House petition. The success of the Women’s March had shown that themed protests could both mobilize huge numbers of people and hit a nerve with the President. On Easter weekend, roughly a hundred and twenty thousand people protested in two hundred cities, calling for him to release his tax returns and sell his businesses. On Capitol Hill, protesters chanted “Impeach Forty-five!“ In West Palm Beach, a motorcade ferrying him from the Trump International Golf Club to Mar-a-Lago had to take a circuitous route to avoid demonstrators. The White House does all it can to keep the President away from protests, but the next day Trump tweeted, “Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!“ “

Sprachlos.

The Atlantic: Donald Trump’s Conflicts of Interest: A Crib Sheet. “A semi-comprehensive list of the business concerns that may influence the president during his time in office.” By Jeremy Venook. Published Apr 24, 2017.

“As early as 2000, he was speculating that he “could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it“ by patronizing his own businesses and running the campaign out of one of his properties. During his 2016 bid, he did exactly that, establishing his political headquarters in Trump Tower (and quintupling the rent as soon as he became the Republican nominee and began drawing funds from the party rather than his personal war chest). Shortly before his victory, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s campaign had paid out the unprecedented sum of more than $14 million to his family and companies for such services as flights on his personal airplanes, rent at Trump Tower, and meals and hotel rooms at other Trump buildings.”
