甚麼, 2010年竟然已經過一半了!!!
日子就在我每天做甜點之間不見了, 實在是很嚇人
荒廢了兩個月的網誌, 實在是也忙又加上家人來訪
連我的RSS feed也累積了一堆等著我去點
最近感覺好像日子又回到軌道上
不過也得開始準備辦housewarming (哈哈雖然都已經搬進來四個月了 羞)
天氣這麼熱, 光是想到要把烤箱打開就流汗了
雖然是這樣, 這兩個月還是個很勤勞的老婆呢 (自己襃)
不過好多時候都忘記要照相, 想到連回台灣去日本的照片都還沒整理
剛看一看發現竟然連去年Montreal的照片也沒有po完
哈哈我晚上可能會夢到被照片追著跑吧

就把這兩個月有記得照下來的東西po一下吧

某天早午餐, lemon pancakes + hot dogs

以往母親節我們都到mike媽媽家讓她”孝敬”我們
每次都覺得灰熊不好意思
今年母親節快到時, 問mike說我們有沒有要做什麼
mike說他和弟弟討論後決定, 甚麼也不做….
我整個覺得當兩個男生的媽實在很口年
就決定要請她來家裡吃飯

這個蛋糕配方是改自學校的食譜, 加加減減的把它變成南瓜口味
吃起來很柔軟綿密, 是我目前試過最喜歡的版本
我是用kabacha squash日式南瓜, 蒸熟後連皮用immersion blender打爛
之後適量加一點糖, 就成了食譜中的南瓜泥

2009年底其實真還蠻爽的
感恩節假期=4天假, 聖誕節假期=4天假, 新年假期=4天假
不過好巧不巧剛好遇到快畢業, 一大堆projects要忙
假期沒有多少時間是真的躺在家裡發呆的
不過也幸好有這些假期, 稍微放鬆一下感覺好很多

覺得平常上課時間很虧待mike
趁假期, 我整個大變身從懶豬變成很勤勞的主婦
做了他很愛的饅頭

這次真的超讚, 之前做了幾次包子饅頭都失敗, 發現其實是之前的yeast死的差不多了, 發到天荒地老都發不起來, 換了instant yeast, 白白胖胖的大饅頭就出現啦, 一出爐我們就不怕熱的吃了六個

還做了條蜂蜜吐司

這次用公公給我們的buckwheat honey, 味道還真不錯, 風味很佳
不過我心裡當然還是偏愛龍眼蜜
我們超愛剛出爐的crust, grease模時猛塗奶油, 出爐時我們當然就是猛啃crust

To say that food is a big thing in Taiwan would be an understatement. We think about our next meal even while we are still having the current one. Six months prior my annual trip to Taiwan, my mom would ask me the same question every time: what do you want to eat when you’re in Taiwan? Walking in the night market in different cities, you may find lots of interesting things. The variety of food is also amazing. Of course, just like everything, there are trends in night market treats. Some snacks come and go, some stay forever. Taro balls (芋圓 Yu-Yuan) and sweet potato balls (地瓜圓 Di-Gua-Yuan) belong to the later group.

To make these two tasty sweets, we need taro and Asian sweet potato. You can find these in your local Chinatown. Luckily New York has three. Here are the raw materials you are looking for.

Lazy vareniki is a kind of cheese dumplings that Mike used to eat when he was little. He always has this happy face when talking about it, so I decided to make some. Mike scouted the web for some recipes, there are several variations floating around. In the end I used an amalgamation of them to create these.

七月盛產藍莓, 在WholeFoods 兩磅5.99一大盒
衝著它antioxidant一直買回家當飯吃
水果這種東西真的是要產期時吃
藍莓個個各頭很大又飽滿, 甜份又高
原本嫌藍莓無味, 到今年才真正體會到藍莓的美妙
大盛產的結果就是每有時機就做blueberry tart
朋友們都吃的很開心, 我又有機會試試各種不同食譜

很難找到有人不喜歡brunch的吧
在紐約, 很多提供brunch的餐廳不提供訂位
一些比較熱門的餐廳在週末時外面都站著一堆人排隊
應該很休閒的週末被這排隊一搞就感覺很心浮氣躁的
遇過最誇張的是要等兩個小時, 我們當然就是放棄
很難過的是排隊等了一個小時, 吃到的brunch又很不好吃或是浸在奶油裡

相反的在家裡吃brunch就相當輕鬆, 還可以穿著起居服吃
打開冰箱看看有什麼
有自己做的土司還剩下一些, 就拿來做法國土司吧!

Part of the reason we got the ice cream attachment for my KA was black sesame ice cream, such a great flavor but always hard to find over the counter. When my freezer finally had enough space for the bucket, this awesome flavor was the first to be made.
