In My Kitchen

I think this was my 4th batch of pandesal/dinner rolls . The key is let dough rise and knead as much as you can. I found out also that by putting the baking dish on the very top rack inside the oven. It helps to even up the color, on my first try I put it in the middle rack it end up cooking the bottom of pandesal faster than the top. The bottom is crunchy while the top look like its not even cook yet. This is very easy to make. 6 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup white sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup cooking oil 2 tsp dry yeast or 1 packet 2 cups lukewarm water 1 tsp white sugar Soften yeast in lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon sugar added.

Another one from my other blog. Posted while I was pregnant. This craving thing is still going on. Did you know that when you are carrying a boy you tend to eat more than carrying a girl?

Well, I always cooked too much, now I have to eat it until tomorrow. I'll let you in a little secret, I don't like leftovers; except for cakes and such...he he he. Lumpia mix: pork, shrimp, carrots, onions, and eggs with banana catsup for a dip. Pansit is mixed with pork, carrots, and green beans. And before I forget I had fruit salad for dessert. Pilipino style fruit salad: fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, cream, and evaporated milk. Yummy, hubby likes it too.

I used plantain banana to replace sabang banana kasi may local grocery store doesn't sell them. Cut them to pieces kasi masyadong mahaba, dip in brown sugar and deep fry until golden brown. It taste like my moms. Well heck I don't even know if it taste the same. I've been out of Philippines for a very long time and I don't know what the local saba taste like anymore. Here are the pictures, I even put it in skewers...he he he. Yummy! I ate to much today. I still want tinapang tulingan, padalhan nyo naman ako....waahh
