Sunny boy requested for sweet and sour pork and I prepared an unsual mix. It turns out beautifully.
Early this morning I woke up and decided to bake a pizza. The authentic Itally Pizza from Cucina. During weekday I prepared breakfast for my sunny boy and myself. Hubby has his breakfast at work at about 9:45 am. On the weekend when hubby is home I try to prepare something different. It was so good that he requested me to bake another but I didn't have much mozarella left. So I ended up baking Marmalade Banana Puff. It turned out Yummy and not overly sweet although I thought initially it might be a disaster. The bananas skin had freckles on it :)
One of my favourite afternoon tea kuih. It is kinda of savoury and goes well with a cup of tea. You can give me any day, any time of day, and I can really eat and eat until there is none left. Yum!
Initially I wanted to make curry puff but since I didn't have the skin for it so I thought why not the frozen samosa skin which i bought from Superstore. They come out very uniform in size and perfect. When thawing the dough make sure they are not thawed and left to dry up or else you will have a horrible time keeping the fillings intact.
A difficult plant to keep due to our Zone 3 area. I have purchased mature plants for the last two years and they flowered the same year but the next year they didn't come back. I went ahead and ordered 8 different rhizomes from BC's nursery and started them inside the house over the winter months. From my observation this particular one just grew about 2" while the others grew about a foot tall and have quite a few new growth. I am puzzled what is going on with this particular plant???
She likes to hide around my tall plants in the garden. Sometimes you can't find her cause she sat very quietly even when she was sick. One of a kind and does not like to eat a mouse, or bird but she likes insects.
First attempt and hubby mentioned that it is a bit dry. I thought it tasted more like butter cake since it required half a pound of butter. Since i bought the food color from Safeway and it is kind of diluted. The color green didn't stand out much but will add more and try to use concentrated green icing colors instead.
I have never tasted these macarons before and decided to try baking them myself in order to taste it myself and give my final verdict. They turned out to be about 11/2" in diameter and were quite sweet for my teeth. For future reference I will reduce the confectioners' sugar. I understood that this is the original French Chocolate Macaroon from the renown "Picasso of Pastry" Pierre Herme!
I made these flowers in advance for my cake this sunday. Carnation flowers are not my favourite so I think i might just use the fantasy flowers instead. Don't know what the cake will turn out I guess we will just have to wait and see this sunday.
Some part of Eastern Europe this is known as Krumplislangos or for short "langos". Last year we went to Hawrelak Park for Heritage Day and found them there. They were huge like the size of your dinner plate! Boy, it was good after a long walk around the ground. I made them smaller and let it cool and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
We had this for breakfast during the week end. Boy it was good change then the normal continental breakfast.
Curious as usual the master and most demanding creature. He is always very loving but constantly demanding for food. I took him to the vet and he requested that we watched his diet but with his constantly begging there is no way I can shut him up.
One of the many recipes from Carole Walker's book. I noted that drizzle confectioner sugar while rolling is not a good idea as it starts melting so I dusted my table top with plain flour instead. I found out that while baking some of my cookies split open 'cause I didn't bring both ends together and pleat but I just folded one on top of the other. I tried gluing it with egg but this does not work either. It tasted more or less like cream cracker different from the plain sugar cookie.
