發粿

過年應景作了幾個發粿~~需要食譜請留言~ :)

我還同時作了好幾個年糕, 六年沒在台灣過年了, 很懷念台灣過年時市場人擠人的情景, 每年我們都會買年糕回來炸, 今年嘴饞, 就上網找食譜來作, 原來年糕作起來還滿簡單的, 只要熱水, 砂糖(白黑紅), 糯米粉和黏米粉就可以作成了~可惜忘記照相………

Christmas Vacation @ New Orleans

During the Christmas holidays, we (Joseph, Hsing, Victor and Michelle) went to New Orleans. I haven’t been going on any vacation like this before. (Double Date.) I had a good time w/ brothers and sisters. We did visit Eric&BH during our trip and stayed at their sweet home for one night. (Thank you, Eric&BH!!!!)

Their kids are so lovely.

We went to eat the famous beignets in Cafe Du Monde.

They also took us to a pretty cake shop called Sucree. Their cakes are so pretty but costly…

Too bad that I couldn’t take a lot of pictures because my camera was broken during the trip. (my 節儉 husband fixed it after the trip... :p)

Christmas Eve’s Party @ Uncle Ken and Aunt Agnes’ Place

 

Past Christmas eve, we went to their place for party. I made a strawberry mousse cake.

Cindy's Wedding Cake

This is my first time making a wedding cake. Thank Cindy for giving me this opportunity. It took me 1 1/2 days to finish this cake. The cake is vanilla flavor with various fruit mousse fillings. (strawberry, apple, and mango) No one would know what kind of flavor they were going to have.

Another closer picture. Thanks Edison for taking pictures for me. For my blog visitors, if you took any picture for this cakes, please send me an e-mail. Really appreciate....

Thanksgiving Night at Johnny&Gina's Place.

We went to Johnny&Gina's place on Thanksgiving night.

I made a small mango mousse cake and fruit tarts this time.

Here're the pictures.

Joseph and I stayed at their house until 11:30pm and went to the outlet at 290 to see the crowd people.

Here's the 實況.

(Fairfield Exit)

It took us 10~15 min to exit hwy 290 and another 15~20mins to find a parking lot.

We did not buy many things but it was really a good experience to see how crazy ppl are.

圓球麵包&肉鬆捲麵包

These were made long time ago... They were made for Joseph's worship team's breakfast. I also made 包子. The reason I made so many kinds this time is to appreciate all co-workers' hard working.

I really like the round buns. It was tasty and cute. The trick to make it so 圓 is I left the dough in mini muffin pan.

Here's the 剖面圖~~ The left one is custard flavor and the right one is red beans. (again. I used red bean can.)

終於成功了~~~^____^~~~

老公再幾個小時就要回來了(凌晨), 所以得做些麵包給他當早餐。

一直以來麵包和土司是我做點心上面的障礙, 唯一比較拿手的吐司只有波特吐司, 經過了幾次不同的食譜, 終於發現我的麵包一直扁扁的原因, 結果好像是酵母粉放太少, 我參考的食譜大部分都是台灣的, 所以酵母粉又跟這裡不一樣, 這次做的時候多放了一點, 然後改用溫水代替涼水, 效果變比較好, 發酵的比較成功, 但是在做波蘿麵包的時候, 好像還是有點扁扁的....

順帶一提的是, 這些蔥都是產自"陳家菜圃"喔~~ ^__^
