One of my top favorite movies is Edward Scissorhands. It is a melancholic story about "someone" who just wants to be whole...

LAVA CAKE

I love lava cake, I love warm brownie cup. I love that I can make them immediately when I'm craving for them. And I love watching Thomas Joseph's cooking videos. 'Nuff said.




PREHEAT OVEN TO 230°C


PREPARE 1/2 CUP SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE



AND 1/2 CUP (OR 1 STICK) BUTTER

  

CREATE A DOUBLE BOILER


PUT CHOCOLATE
  

AND BUTTER
  

MELT


UNTIL SMOOTH


TAKE 2 FULL EGGS


AND ANOTHER 2 EGG YOLKS ONLY


 COMBINE EGGS IN MIXER


AND BEAT 


TAKE 1/4 CUP SUGAR


AND COMBINE


BEAT UNTIL PALE


TAKE THE CHOCOLATE MIXTURE


AND COMBINE TO EGG MIXTURE
(LITTLE BY LITTLE TO AVOID COOKING THE EGG)
   

TAKE 2 TABLESPOONS OF ALL PURPOSE FLOUR


ADD TO THE MIXTURE AND BEAT FOR A FEW MINUTES
  

UNTIL FULLY INCORPORATED


PREPARE 4 RAMEKINS


GREASE WITH BUTTER


AND LINE WITH FLOUR SO THE BATTER WON'T STICK


OR LINE WITH CHOCOLATE POWDER AND SUGAR INSTEAD TO MAKE IT SWEETER


PORTION OUT THE BATTER


AND BAKE FOR 8-12 MINUTES


8 MINUTES TO GET MOLTEN LAVA CAKE


(FLIP AND GORGE)


 OR 12 MINUTES FOR WARM BROWNIE CUP


(TOP WITH COLD ICE CREAM TO COUNTER THE WARM BROWNIE)


ENJOY!!!

LUMPIA!!!

Made lumpia today. :3 The most basic one. I didn't find shrimp (yummy) and I didn't buy cheese (mas pampa-yummy).

Ingredients:
1/2 kg minced pork
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced carrot
1 egg
3 tablespoon toyo
salt
pepper
lumpia wrapper


Procedure:


So.. combine all ingredients, except the wrapper of course, in a bowl.




Take out the wrapper and separate one by one. Prepare water on the side (or egg).


Take a small amount of meat, and start rolling..


TADA!!! Forgot to take a picture of the whole batch. I made 50 of them. And guess what? I had a lot more left over meat mixture. So I made meatballs!

I added breadcrumbs, took a spoonful and rolled into balls. Yields 14 more. Cook in medium heat and drain of oil.


BUSOG....... *burp* (excuse me!)


How I make the sauce will be for next time, kanang magluto nako sa lumpia.. Basin ugma puhon o Biernes..

I have been taught to make sure I keep the lumpia shanghai rolls in the same height and width para gwapa. Food is truly more inciting when it's presented beautifully.

end.
