Chocolate.

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. :)

Marshmallows Craze.

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!

Mad Week.

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…

For Rain…

… 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

  1. Combine A – F.
  2. Stir together G, H, and I, and then mix well with No. 1.
  3. Work in J. Make sure it disperse well.
  4. Add K.
  5. Spread the mixture into about 1/2-inch thick on greased cookie sheet. Cut into small checkerboard pattern.
  6. Bake until uniformly golden brown, approximately 50 minutes. Note: The original recipe didn’t provide temperature so I used about 180 degrees Celsius.
  7. Remove from oven, and let it cool for 10 minutes. Break the squares apart, stir them around and return them to the oven.
  8. Turn off the oven. Leave the kibbles in it and stir occasionally.

Hopefully yours turn out better than mine, Rain! :)

Homemade Dog Kibbles.

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.
