Wah normally takes care of the syrup boiling part of marshmallow-making, but since he’s away for a week, I decided to do it myself. Turned out a little dense – but not too much to affect the yumminess. I purposely got some gourmet 100% pure cocoa powder for these, and they turned out bitter-sweet. I thought little niece wouldn’t like it, but she said this is her favourite of all marshmallows that we’ve made. :)

We’ve been having some crazy marshmallow-making fest lately. We’ve made the common vanilla marshmallows, and have made lemon too. I love lemon marshmallows better than vanilla ones. But I still have a few flavours to test out.
Can’t wait to have 48 hours a day to spare!

The week started off with plenty of unexpected voluntary work, and before I knew it, it’s already Thursday. We made an appointment with my grandma to learn how to make bak-chang a.k.a Zongzi at her place on Thursday, so off we went. It was fun, and the Zongzi that we made turned out pretty awesome – although technically it was my grandma who prepared the ingredients and all and we only had to wrap and tie it up, but that was the difficult part! :D
I could finally sleep in a little today, and will have to start attacking those pile of work that has been left behind for days. If only we can have 48 hours a day. Hmm…
… and others who might be interested. Here is the recipe that I used to bake those dog kibbles. :)
Ingredients
- A – 6 cups flour (4 cups wheat flour and 2 cups all-purpose flour)
- B – 1 cup powdered milk
- C – 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- D – 1 cup wheat germ
- E – 1/2 cup brewers yeast
- F – 1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (I used sea salt)
- G – 1 large egg
- H – 1 cup canned pumpkin (I had to omit this as I wanted to make some but didn’t have pumpkin with me)
- I – 4 tablespoon safflower oil (I just used sunflower oil)
- J – 3 cups cooked, ground meat
- K – 2 cups water
Instructions
- Combine A – F.
- Stir together G, H, and I, and then mix well with No. 1.
- Work in J. Make sure it disperse well.
- Add K.
- Spread the mixture into about 1/2-inch thick on greased cookie sheet. Cut into small checkerboard pattern.
- Bake until uniformly golden brown, approximately 50 minutes. Note: The original recipe didn’t provide temperature so I used about 180 degrees Celsius.
- Remove from oven, and let it cool for 10 minutes. Break the squares apart, stir them around and return them to the oven.
- Turn off the oven. Leave the kibbles in it and stir occasionally.
Hopefully yours turn out better than mine, Rain! :)

Been trying to whip up some homemade kibbles for the dogs since… a month ago. They normally have half a cup of those higher quality commercial kibbles each for breakfast. I’ve been wanting to make some healthier ones to replace that. This is the second attempt but I still can’t get it crunchy enough. It’s more like soft cookies – though the dogs still love them. By the way this is one of the many reasons I love my dogs. They don’t complain about my cooking.
