Making a Fig Tart.

Figs aren’t in season now. I made this in August. And, I ended up not having enough to layer the top; that’s why it looks a bit sparse. LoL.

Why get your hand messy? Eat it in dip form!
Although… I’d use some chicken I cooked myself instead of what the recipe suggest. (^.^)

My aunt never fails to buy these corn snacks whenever she goes to Japan. We’ve got (from left to right) cheese, prawn mayonnaise and chocolate here.

Japan snacks are always a fun adventure. From reading the package, these are called umai.

Martin Yan rocks. I always order this when I go to Lao Shanghai in Chinatown Chicago. I’m definitely going to try making this. It looks easy, right?

Watching the America’s Test Kitchen on Create tonight....

Watching the America’s Test Kitchen on Create tonight. It’s the Greek recipe episode. While I love the show, they are driving me nuts with pronunciations.

English lesson: The ‘e’ at the end of the word marinade elongates the second ‘a’. Why are they saying mari-nod??? Do you say lemon-nod? And, on top of that, Bridget says ‘marinating’ just fine. Wouldn’t it be mari-nodding if it’s mari-nod? smh

Spanakopita…. he says span-ah-cope-uh-tah. Do you order puh-tas? No, you order pitas (pee-tah)! Correct pronunciation here and here.

Why I’m complaining? Because they kept saying both words so matter-of-factly. If you’re a cooking show, and doing a Greek themed episode, at least get the pronunciations correct. And, if you’re America’s test kitchen, get the English pronunciations correct. I’m just sayin’.

Sincerely,

A Chick That Cooks/Eats A Lot of Greek Food and is Anal About English

Lighter (weight-wise) Beer?

americastestkitchen:

Beer for Backpackers: When it comes to hiking, every pound matters. The people at Pat’s Backcountry Beverages were tired of shouldering the weight of the beer they took on their hikes, so they created a way to have both the booze and a light pack. Their line of soda and beer concentrates (out in early 2013) are much lighter than a 12-pack, and can be reconstituted with water in their carbonating bottle to create an instant sparkling beverage.

Make a Two-Tone Pattern On Your Cake

Powdered sugar and cocoa powder can be used singly or in combination to give a frosted cake a polished look. When using stencils of any sort, freeze the cake for 15 minutes before decorating. Powdered sugar will gradually dissolve, so apply this fancy decoration just before serving. Gather six jar lids, varying in size from small to medium. Place the lids facedown on the surface of the cake in a random arrangement, letting some hang over the edge. Dust the cake with cocoa or confectioners’ sugar. Remove the lids, grasping them by the lip and lifting straight up. Rearrange them randomly again, then dust with a contrasting color, using confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, or very finely ground nuts. Remove the lids carefully. Click here for more cake tips.

Because a simple inquiry about a pic makes a person silly and is cause to not be a nice person towards someone. The anonymity of the internet…. I tell you. They are both rude. The anon for sending it, and the blog for posting it knowing I could see it.

I want it now.
