Soup with vegetables

Here a simple recipe to prepare a tasty soup with vegetables. Before starting make sure you have the following ingredients: 2 potatoes without peel, 3 carrots, 10 green beans with the ends cut, 1 pepper, 300ml tomato sauce, salt, oil of olive, 1 onion without peel.
So, let's start!
  • Cut the potatoes, carrots, green beans, pepper, onion in small pieces, not so small though.
  • Put these ingredients in a pot and fill it with the water.
  • Light the fire and wait till the water in the pot start to boil.
  • Once it's boiling reduce the level of firing to minimum and let it boil for other 60 minutes; really this is important, the level of firing should be very low, you should observe the level of water just boiling a bit.
  • Add the potatoes in the pot.
  • Add two spoons of oil of olive and a bit of salt.
  • Let it boil, always with low fire, for about 25 minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce and half of dado knorr
  • Let it boil for the last 5 minutes.
Finally serve it hot in a dish with some slices of bread.
I learned how to prepare it today in the soup session with my friend Cristian, I hope to have not forgotten some steps so I won't consider myself responsible of the success of the soup ;-)

Building Reactive Apps @ Jug Lausanne

Yesterday I've participated at the meeting @ JUG Lausanne, where there was a presentation with the title "Building Reactive Apps" kept by James Ward.
In the room there were about 40 persons and the speech was kept in English.
After having talked about the reactive manifesto , the speaker shortly introduced the principles of reactive programming
Has followed a demo of how to build a reactive application with the play framework, where he showed the usage of Future classes. Other topics were related websocket, actors in AKKA, scala and so on.
I think I'll give a try to these new technologies.
