Tutenkamon’s Treasure Exhibition Extening Until January 2021 @ Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Herald News for Hungarians who speaks English!, Tourism. Tagged: .

At the archaeological reconstruction exhibition Tutankhamun’s Mystery and Treasures, almost a thousand objects from the unique treasure finds and a lifelike reconstruction of the tomb can be seen, with family and children’s programs in the autumn break, @ Budapest Complex – District VII., 26. Király Str.

Perhaps the most famous pharaoh in ancient Egyptian history, one of the last kings of the neo-imperial 18th dynasty, Tutankhamun, who died young at the age of 19, owes his world fame not to his reign but to his almost completely untouched tomb. Until the excavation of the tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, many even questioned the existence of the mysterious pharaoh. Tutankhamun, however, remained as mysterious after the discovery of his tomb as it was known before. One of the most controversial debates culminated around the question of the king’s descent as well as his life appearance.

Tutankhamun was lifted out of the famous golden coffin in two saws … see previous update regarding to Budapest’ exhibition: https://rollinginbudapest.com/2019/11/08/tutenkamons-glitering-gold-the-mummies-society-waiting-for-visitors-budapest-2019/

Author’s evening of Katalin Szlukovényi @ Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Hungary. Tagged: , , , .

Bodó Gallery and Auction House – Literary evening

November, 12. 2020. 7 p.m.

District, V., 24-26 Falk Miksa Str. Budapest

Katalin Szlukovényi (1977, Győr) Déry Tibor Prize winner, Radnóti Prize winner and Attila Gérecz Prize winner, as well as poet, translator, university lecturer and editor who received scholarships from Zsigmond Móricz and Mihály Babits. She graduated from ELTE BTK and Eötvös József Collegium with a degree in Hungarian-English, and then obtained a PhD degree at ELTE. She translates from English, German and French, mainly poems. Between 2017 and 2020, she was the literary editor of Móra  Publisher (Könyvkiadó). From 2018 she is an assistant professor at the Department of English Studies of Eötvös Loránd University.

She is the author of the monograph The Doubters: Irony, Self-Irony, and Humor in Twentieth-Century Jewish American Prose. Her latest volume of poems, Dream Kitchen, was published in 2020 for Poetry Day at “Jelenkor” Publishing House. Previous volumes of poetry: Experimental Rabbit Nose (2005), False Nostalgia (2013).

“The poetry of Katalin Szlukovényi creates an intimate closeness. She often begins his poems almost comfortably with ordinary situations, and then, with the next movement, sees the absurd, amusing, or ominous signs in them, and from there moves on to the unpredictable ending. “We talked about marriage on the study trail / fifth core leading to the Badacsony lookout tower”. Little is said of what the hikers said, but the exact geological description of the landscape suddenly begins to speak of the subsurface strata of human relationships. This bold polyphony requires exceptional technical knowledge. It is worth paying attention to the diversity of forms, the bold changes of style layers, the poetic references, the sure sense of proportion. But you need something more: playfulness and serenity that permeates every line of the volume. In the poems of the Dream Kitchen, a brilliant voice is completed, ”wrote Győző Ferencz about the volume Dream Kitchen.

The event was supported by the Ministry of Human Resources.

Admission is free. Due to the limited capacity of the gallery, please indicate your intention to participate by sending an email to info@artanzix.com.

# 4 Some Hungarian Appetizers – Potatoe salad with mayonnaise /&/ with eggs – Majonézes krumpli saláta /és) tojással

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Gastronomy - Hungary, Herald News for Hungarians who speaks English!, New Theme on its way - "Q" & "A". Tagged: , , .

Potatoe salad with mayonnaise – Majonézes krumpli saláta

“Q” What is mayonnaise salad?
“A” Mayonnaise also contains egg yolk and is less sweet than salad dressing. They can be used interchangeably so you can decide which you prefer. If you’d like a lighter dressing, sub in some thick, plain yogurt with a spoonful of Dijon mustard. There’s no creamy dressing on a vinegar-based potato salad like Dill Potato Salad.

Recipe for 4 persons –  preparation time: 30  mins.

Ingredients 1 kg tender potatoes, 5 dl sour cream, 3 red onions, 2 dl mayonnaise,1 tbs mustard, 1 tsp ground pepper, 1 tbs spoon sugar, 0.5 lemons, salt as taste.

Cooking: Wash the potatoes well thoroughly and cook in the peel until soft in about 15-20 minutes. Cool to room temperature and peel. Dice potatoes and put into a bowl, be careful not to fall apart. Also chop the onion. In another bowl mix together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and well blended.

For the sauce: The mayonnaise should always be made fresh for salads. Mix the mayonnaise well with the sour cream, mustard, salt, a little sugar, ground pepper and lemon juice. Put the potatoes in a bowl, sprinkle the onions on it and roll in the sauce. It is worth cooling for a couple of hours so that the flavors blend well.

Potato salad with mayonnaise is perfect for all kind of fish, meat and roasts, but it is also excellent in itself.  The potatoe salad with red onions and mayonnaise is one of the most popular garnishes not only during the Season of Xmas. Chilled is the real treat. Can make it quickly, but allow time for the flavors to blend well. When expecting a lot of guests, multiply the ingredients.

Optional with eggs … mayonnaise potatoe salad

Ingredients:  The same as above without the eggs, but adding 5 hard-boiled eggs diced or sliced , 1 tbs yellow mustard, 1 cup thinly sliced celery and optional paprika for garnishing. The creamy texture bringing incredible flavor.

Preparing in cooking and flavoring the same as a/m.
