<br />
Here are some random thoughts on my mind. <br />
<br />
1. Go outside, and if you see someone, take the random person and make
out with him/her, and say: "Yes! I finally got my dramatic kissing
scene!" <br />
<br />
2. Lay on your stomach in a puddle and scream: "I'm drowning, I'm drowning!"<br />
<br />
3. In the pasanger seat of the car, roll your window down, stick your
tongue out, soaking the driver: "I wonder why dogs only do this when its
sunny out!" and laugh.<br />
<br />
4. Make a farting noise, and say "Hear that thunder roar!"<br />
<br />
5. When your outside, run around (reading lyrics) and scream words to Singing in the Rain.<br />
<br />
6. Make someone laugh. Then look at them: "Gosh, your face is all wet. Suck it up, stop crying!"<br />
<br />
7. Sit outside, and read an old book, and keep yelling "DAMN YOU, SKIES!
WHY IS IT SO FUCKING WET HERE!" when your pages get soaked.<br />
<br />
8. Gather all the family electronics, and lay them out on the grass on the curb, and let them get all wet.<br />
<br />
9. When the family sees say: "I told you that (baby sibling/cousin/hated younng person) was evil!<br />
<br />
10. Sit on the corner at the sewer, and hold out an empty can of soup
with a sign on it "Poor, and Wet," and hope you don't get kidnapped.<br />
<br />
11. Tell everyone around you that rain actually signifies the zombie
apocalypse and that the term "acid rain" actually means rain that turns
you into a zombie. Then put your hand outside the door, or window, and
walk like a zombie. (Basically, start a fun/play zombie apocalypse.) <br />
<br />
12. Collect all the neighborhood cats/felines and place them outdoors to go insane.<br />
<br />
13. Place an empty inflatable pool anywhere outside that you can, and
watch it fill up. Then place your younger sibling/a friend's younger
sibling in it and tell them to go swimming.<br />
<br />
14. For any cooking that requires water, place the bowl with all other
necessary ingredients in it, let the water fill up, and make somebody
nasty baking!<br />
<br />
15. Go to the local pool, and bang on the doors because you want them to open, because it's <i>so hot outside</i> and you <i>need</i> to cool off in the pool.<br />
<br />
Also, let me tell you that these are in no way ethical, or moral and
performing the listed actions show a lacking in propriety and maturity.
There's no reason to do any of these; they're just immature tactics to
LAUGH at. Not attempt.<br />
<br />
<br />

Before I start to enumerate the ingredients. I want all my readers to know that Cupcakes are just small cakes. If you wish to make a bigger cake, just utilize a bigger baking pan, this ofcourse will alter the baking time. The bigger the pan, the longer the baking time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
If you find the cupcake too puffy, the amount of flour in the recipe may decreased from 3 to 6 tablespoons. You may want to experiment with a small batch first.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
If you want more height for your cupcake, 3 to 6 tablespoons of flour may be added to you recipe. Increasing the oven temperature is another factor that can affect the puffiness of your cupcake. Just keep in mind that when you raise your oven temperature to 400F or 200C, baking time will be shorter.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>BUTTER</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Use butter for your cupcakes for best results, either salted or unsalted butter may be used. Salted butter may not really affect the taste of your cupcakes, It also has a longer shelf life than unsalted butter. Margarine can take the place of butter but it will not taste as good as cupcakes which used butter. Shortening may also be used, which usually results to a higher cupcake. The addition of butter oil is suggested if shortening will be used as fat. Start with a few drops since oil_based food flavors are very potent.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
I strongly advised not to stock up on dairy products,just purchase what you will use to avoid wastage due to its short shelf-life.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
One bar of butter weighs 225 to 227 grams, equivalent to 2 sticks of butter or half a pound.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>EGGS</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Use fresh, large eggs for baking. A fresh egg is thick,not watery. One large egg is equivalent to 1/4cup or 55grams. 60grams with the shell.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>SUGAR</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Granulated or table sugar is best used in these recipes. Different sizes of sugar granules affect the weight of sugar. Some may weigh 180grams per cup while some may reach up to 205grams per cup.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b>Sugar</b> <i>(Confectionery)</i></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Confectionery, Icing or powdered sugar is the same. Usually used for making icings.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
115grams = 1cup.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b>Sugar </b><i>(Brown)</i></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Use light to medium color brown sugar. Dark brown sugar taste like milasses. When measuring, pack well with a spooon. When inverted into your palm or any flat surface, it should conform with the shape of measuring cup and hold its shape for a few seconds.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
220grams=1cup,packed</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>BAKING POWDER and BAKING SODA</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Baking powder and Baking Soda are leaveners. They make your cupcakes rise. There are two kinds of baking powder: Single acting and Double acting.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b>Single acting baking powder</b> reacts when heat is present while <b>Double acting</b> reacts when it comes in contact with moisture and heat. Both types may be used.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Baking Soda makes chocolate cupcakes darker.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
4grams = 1teaspoon Baking Soda</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
3grams = 1teaspoon Baking Soda</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>SALT</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
I used iodized salt. It dissolves much faster than any type of salt but feel free to use any salt of your preference as long as it has a fine crystalline structure.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
6grams = 1teaspoon Iodized Salt</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>FLAVORS</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
I use vanilla flavor in general. Vanilla comes in diferent forms like extract, powdered or oil based. Use whatever is readily available in your area. What I prefer though, is Pure Vanilla Extract. It cost more but the aroma is heavenly. I sometimes combine vanilla butter oil for stronger butter notes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Use a measuring spoon for Vanilla Extract.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>FLOUR</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Use all purpose flour, not self-rising flour. There are also some recipes that use cake flour.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
There type of flour are available in almost all supermarkets.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
125grams = 1cup All purpose Flour</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
90-95grams = 1cup cake flour, sifted</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>COCOA POWDER</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
When it comes to cocoa powder, I make sure I use the best brand in the market since I am a Chocolate Lover at heart. Alkalized or Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder results to a dark chocolate color and has a robust chocolate taste.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Do not use sweetened cocoa powder, that is only for drinking. Remember to sift cocoa powder beafore measuring.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
90-95grams = 1cup cocoa</div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
<b><i>MILK </i></b><i>(liquid)</i></div>
<div style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: purple;">
Fresh or whole milk is the best. You can also try mixing evaporated milk with water. I tried using water instead of milk, the end result will be puffier cupcake but it will lose its creaminess. So it's up to you to experiment.</div>

This street food staple gets a better-for-you, whip-it-at-home upgrade. Just fry, skewer, and dip!<br />
<br />
Fish balls is one of my favorite snacks when I was young. My mom
made very good fish balls but I never learned from her….*sigh*. The
flavour, texture and taste was just superb. My fish balls just can’t
measure up to hers. Nevertheless I am just very happy that I know how to
make them and my family likes them very much.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span id="more-11416"></span><br />
To make nice fish balls, the type of fish used is the most important.
Back home we use Dalagang Bukid, also called <span class="st">Yellow Tail Fusilier</span>. It’s very
simple, easy and delicious. It’s especially good served with rice. <br />
<br />
Here’s my simple and easy homemade fish balls using dalagang bukid/<span class="st">Yellow Tail Fusilier</span>.
You can try with other fish too. If you use frozen fish, you need to thawed it first and then pat dry before adding the rest of the
ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients: </b><br />
400 to 500 grams fish fillet (any fish may be used; we used dalagang bukid for this recipe) <br />1-inch piece ginger, peeled <br />1 cup diced carrots<br />1 whole garlic, minced<br />1 egg, beaten<br />1 1/2 cups cornstarch<br />1/2 cup cassava flour<br />salt and pepper to taste<br />8 cups fish stock<br />oil for deep-frying<br />
<br />
<b>Cooking Procedure: </b><br />
<strong>1</strong> Poach the fish fillet in salted water with the ginger.<br /><br /><strong>2 </strong>Once cooked, flake the fish to make about 4 cups of flaked fish.<br /><br /><strong>3 </strong> Place the flaked fish, carrots, garlic, and egg in a food processor. Purée until smooth.<br /><br /><strong>4</strong> Transfer to a bowl and add the cornstarch and flour; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.<br /><br /><strong>5</strong> Form into 1-inch balls. Simmer in fish stock until opaque. Drain.<br /><br /><strong>6 </strong> To serve, deep-fry in oil until golden brown. (Freeze uncooked balls until ready to cook.)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05652914093213491920noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4076761210066841835.post-78381598267645158562012-06-23T21:28:00.003+08:002012-06-23T21:28:35.964+08:00Baked Macaroni<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<strong>Baked Macaroni</strong> is a pasta dish that makes use of
elbow macaroni as the primary ingredient. At first look, this could be
mistaken as the famous <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">Macaroni and Cheese</span> but there is more to this dish than just having pasta and cheese.<br />
<br />
Meat
is one of its most important components. Ground beef is usually used
but others prefer ground pork, ground chicken, and even minced ham.
Being a tomato based pasta, Baked Macaroni uses diced tomatoes (or
tomato sauce) and tomato paste as well. Capsicum (or bell pepper) and
paprika are optionally added to add more flavor and aroma.<br />
<br />
The
description above makes a regular Baked Macaroni but adding the Mornay
sauce (or white sauce as we usually call it) makes it more special.<br />

<b>Sweet and Sour dish</b> — particularly sweet and sour pork is a Cantonese
dish that was introduced by Chinese migrants to the West in the early
part of 20th Century. Since then, it evolved into variety of dishes
with the same basic ingredients — sweet and sour sauce. Some are
prepared with chicken and some are prepared with seafood such as fish
and shrimp; sweet and sour meatballs dish is just another twist.</div>

Preparing sweet and sour meatballs is very simple and don’t let the
long list of ingredients and procedure scare you. I only organized it
in a way where you can serve it quickly right after cooking. There are
two different methods of cooking the meatballs. You can deep fry them
or bake them—just like what I did here. By the way, this is also a good
appetizer for your next party. Just cook the meatballs and serve them
with sweet and sour sauce without the veggies.</div>
