More Macarons

Lemon shell and raspberry jam. Can't stop makin em! I don't really like the taste of them any more but it's so fun to make with all these combos! And this is another picture of the lychee black tea macarons but it's of the mini's.

FINALLY the Feet

These are the macarons that I made today, and last week. Finally got them almost right. Greentea macaron and pecan macaron with green tea meringue. I was gonna make the pecan pie filling but didn't have the right supplies. Man these babies are so fragile, I keep accidently cracking them. Thankfully they are filled inside instead of being hollow. I will keep working. At the end of today I felt very tired of macarons and baking, but tomorrow I will get the right supplies for the ganache and will kick ass. I have like 12 egg yolks that I am at a loss to what to do with them. I have so many ideas as to what to bake! I just hope that people like them.

Some potential combos: Azuki and Green tea, chocolate cheesecake, green baked tea azuki/white bean, mango, lychee etc. Lots of recipes to try! And since I am not working this week I will be baker girl. I wonder if I should try any other baked goods...It's easier to just make the same thing to refine and you have the same ingredients to use. We'll see. Toodles.

Let them eat bread!

I had a dream that I was a baker. So the next day I baked lots of bread! I love foodwishes from hungrynation on youtube, so I used his recipe for ciabatta bread. It took 18 hours to ferment or err whatever it's called. I also tried to do his pizza dough recipe (also 18hrs), but my mom was stupid and turned on the oven to warm up the house while my dough was rising, killing the yeast. So that project failed. Then I got impatient yesterday so I made some faster rising bread. I made these french rolls (seen below). The dough was quite nice, and it was pretty easy to work with. Today I excitedly prepped my ciabatta dough for baking. The dough looked just like in the video, and that was exciting. Unfortunately the product wasn't exactly the same, but still quite good! So last night, frustrated after my pizza catastrophe, I made a quick pizza dough and left it in the fridge over night. That dough had hundreds of good ratings, but for some reason didn't work very well for me. I had to add a bunch of extra flour, and the gluten strands were really weak feeling. Anyway, in the morning it was quite elastic and cool, so that made me happy. I made the pizza and it was quite good. The bread just finished a couple of hours ago. Pictures below! Also, I added some random food pics from the past two weeks. Just Japanese new years food.

I really want to try dutch crunch and baguettes soon! Shit I have so much homework to do. Adios Amig(a/o)s

WINTER BREAK PROJECT #1

I am off for winter break! How exciting. I finished this semester the strongest I ever have.I'm super happy about that. I really want to cook more and sew more this break, but I dunno how possible that is. This project could be my first and last, I dunno! But I spent a couple of hours trying to make a bomber hat from a threadbanger tutorial. I tried it before and it was ugly as fuck, but I KINDA learned from my mistakes. I mean, I fucked up pretty bad in some places but. haha. Anyway here it is my buddies.

Mash-ed Pote-to

I feel like whenever there is a shitload of shit to do, I cook something. Bad habit I suppose, but cooking is so fun and the product is tasty. Today I made some garlic mashed potatoes. Practicing for Thxgiving :P
Also, this is soup my mom made the other day. It was a chicken, spinach and something soup. So delicious.
