Big cleaning day

Somehow Tuesday is always my big cleaning day....don't know how it always end up to be today and it's good!
Now it's time to reward myself, off to shopping!!!

Chocolate Flan Cake

Just trying to get work done while searching through stuffs on internet and i found this recipe. Sounds so yummy!!!

I can't wait to try it out....but i don't want to eat it all by myself, im gonna be too fat!! hahaha. So when should i do it???


Ingredients
1 bx devil's food cake mix
1 can(s) coca-cola
12 oz can evaporated mik
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 btl (23.3 oz) cajeta or any caramel topping/sauce

Directions

1 Make devil's food cake mix according to directions on box, substituting Coke for the water.
Put aside.

2 Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs,and vanilla; mix with mixer or in a blender for 2-3 min. Set aside.

3 Spray Bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 bottle of Cajeta into bottom of Bundt pan, then pour cake batter in on top of caramel. (You will pour the flan mixture down the side of the Bundt pan and chocolate cake mixture. Flan mixture will go down the side and below the chocolate cake.)

4 Get a pan that the Bundt pan will fit in. Fill pan with water, then set Bundt pan in water and place in oven. Cook at 400 degrees for about 1 hour. Start checking at 45 min. Use toothpick in the center of the cake to check if done. (Cake will also separate from sides of pan when done.)

5 You must cool this cake in the refrigerator at least 4-5 hours so that the flan sets up. (I make mine the day before serving and put it in the fridge overnight.) When cooled, put large plate or serving tray on top of Bundt pan and flip over. This cake is very messy because the caramel drips down when you turn it. Remove from refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to serving.

Popcorn Ball!!

I decided to make a popcorn ball today.....sounds like fun, sounds yummy?? Who wouldn't like a sound of sweet and crunchy ball of popcorn??? And it's super simple....

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup margarine
2 teaspoons cold water
2 5/8 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup marshmallows
5 quarts plain popped popcorn

Directions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, margarine, cold water, confectioners' sugar and marshmallows. Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn, coating each kernel.

Grease hands with vegetable shortening and quickly shape the coated popcorn into balls before it cools. Wrap with cellophane or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.

It's been a while...i know. I've been busy again. Can you believe that i haven't touch my computer for days???

Anyway, the rock candy didn't work out. Take 2 is tomorrow!!! We'll see how it goes this time.

Off to bed for now...it's been too exhausting >"<

3 days vacation!!!

I know it's been a while... I've been too busy working ^^

But now im on vacation. It's been a while since my last. Even though, this one is only for 3 days but im so happy to be away from work for a bit.

I did spend my day in NYC hanging out with hubby. I got an awesome news from my SA that my choco jumbo is here!! Now i just have to discipline myself and not getting too much stuffs when im on shopping spree tomorrow in uptown...will see how that turn out.

Good night everyone..........

Tomato Pie

Today I made an OMG-this-is-so-GOOD dish that i only heard about it for the first time from a friend couple days ago. Can you guess what it is??? It's a tomato pie!!! When i heard of it, i thought "tomato pie" yuck!!! But when he kept talking about ingredients and what it tastes like, it doesn't sound too bad. So i was thinking to myself, this could be the first thing i made for someone else and not for me. This could be a new challenge for me to try to cook something different....

So here i am, trying to make a tomato pie. This morning when i got up, i was very determine to make this pie. I even ask my Brother-in-law if he can be a taster for me since he loves tomatoes o much and he agreed (of course :P) Now, i have to start working on the pie....the first pie, no actually the first dish ever, that has tomato as its main ingredient (because I personally don't like tomato so i never picked the recipes that has a lot of tomatoes to cook) However, the pie came out to be amazinggggg^^ It kinda taste like a very very good & cheesy deep dish pizza in a pie crust instead of a pie dough. I am so happy that not just my BIL loves it, everyone else too!! I have a feeling that i will be making more of this tomato pie in this near future. I am so lucky because it is so easy to make.

Slice tomatoes and layer them in your pie crust, i put as much as i can. Between layers of tomato i sprinkled a lot of basil, salt and pepper for robust flavor!! Last, spread mayo over the tomatoes and sprinkled with cheese, a lot of cheese. Now it's ready to be bake.....20 mins later, it's done ^^

The recipe can be estimate. I didn't measure anything just a handful of this and a handful of that, and it came out delicious!! Next time i will change the cheeses around, play with the spices or maybe even try to make a pie crust myself :D

Rainy Day :(

Every time i want to use my new bag...it has to rain!! Why???

I guess my baby will have to stay in her box for now .. so sad :(

Rock Candy

I've been buying rock candy to stir my coffee and hot tea for a while and i love it!! I think it's really really neat!! Only that it's kinda hard to find and not cheap (which i think that's why most places don't carry them) So i figure, why can't i make it?? It should be easier than trying to find it...and then i'd have to buy in bulk to stock them up. Google came to rescue me and help me with this project. I found the recipe....it doesn't sound too bad either, it's just take couple days.

So my project begins........im growing my own rock sugar!!! First thing first, I made a very thick sugar syrup...i added couple tablespoon of vanilla extract because i want my rock sugar to be very flavorful. I poured the syrup in a glass and put a skewer in the middle...i use a cloths pin to hold the skewer in place. In 3 days, it should be ready....im so excited!! And if it turns out perfect, i'll be creative to put different flavors and colors in my next batch.

Stay tight.....and keep your finger crossed for me :D

Cream cheese...i want you!!

Somehow i really really crave for raisin cinnamon bagel with bacon & scallion cream cheese. Too bad there's not a single place around here serving that combination to help with my crave!! So i decided that I will make them myself tomorrow. I wish i can start working on it now but it's a little too late...it's like 1am already, probably not the best idea to be eating bagels with lots and lots of cream cheese right now.

Since i will be making those anyway, i might as well just cook up some other flavors as well. Im thinking stawberry....what else???

DC for the weekend

and im back!!!!!!

been super busy with too many things...so i kinda forgot all about you, but not anymore (at least, i'll try not to...ieieie)

well, now im in DC for a weekend with my hubby :D his dad was here for dinner with us and guess where we went to eat???? Bon Chon Chicken!!!!!!!!!!! The fried chicken is amazing as always....it's not even that long to wait for our food even though we didn't order it over the phone like we suppose to!!

Sheilla's dessert was as good. I love the Bubble tea with crepe cake!! Now, i found my next project....crepe cake!!

First day off in a while!

Oh my....all these works and frustrations are really worn me out! Firing ppl...controlling ppl...and dealing with myself! Working life are not easy. I miss my study life...hehehe :)
