Someone took what was mine-Hi Dad.

How does it feel to have one?
I believe having a king seated on his throne.
To have on my own

not to disinherit what was gone.

You put me to the test

thus I was hungry by your love to manifest.

I asked myself “who are you now by the way?”

Life could be more meaningful If only you chose to stay.

Part of me shred from you

there’s no way to blame.

So many changes in me

years of absence, I’m now a lady.

Thanks to mama,

she became my superhero-wannabe.

===============================

hahaha! I made a poem in such spontaneous time. I was in bed, awe of such blessings given to me and in an instance something came to me and write all of these. perhaps my hidden confessions bursting in tears and laughters cause I’m done with it .I’m in bliss, Thank you God. Just wanted to share my little dramas in my life. That’s it :)

In 3, 2, 1 Lez go Ferrero Macarons!

This is another successful baking day for me. I have decided to make my own version of Ferrero Macarons. I'm on cloud nine indeed, but I would be happier to give out these cookies to you. (Yes You!) For now since I promised to give some samples to my friends I made exactly small amounts just for the taste test. 

Here's a sample of my Ferrero Macarons.

I would like to share some precise information about Macarons:

From Wikipedia: A macaron (French pronunciation: [makaˈʁɔ̃])[1][2] is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies.

The confectionery is characterized by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference (referred to as the "foot"), and flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth.

I want to have my own/customized packaging! haha! Friends, wait for your sample macarons. :)

Exotic Coco-Mango Part 2

I've been so busy in the kitchen lately specifically in dessert area. I've been practicing my craft and since I'm too bored at home I've decided to focus on honing my skills instead. 

In continuation of my previous post on Exotic Coco Mango Cake,it has something related with this cake. It has the same flavor however I made it a little different on the presentation. This is actually a birthday cake gift to the one special to me. I made it simple and presentable. 

I made chocolate garnishes. Thanks to Gelato Tv for educating me on Youtube. For those who wants to learn how to make chocolate garnishes, go here Gelato TV

I made a dacquiose!

Exotic Coco-Mango Cake

From google: Dacquiose(French term) French dessert cake made with layers of almond and hazelnut meringue &whipped cream or buttercream.

I have managed to make a dacquiose! whew! This is my first time so I was a bit nervous so I studied carefully my recipe and did some deduction with the measurements. I had canker sore since I had to taste them every time I finished a layer but here you go I made it. Was totally happy with the result. It is composed of Almond dacquiose, Coconut with Rum cream and Mango jelly inside.with chocolate and mango bits on top---Exotic Coco-Mango cake.

Hope you like it! 

The day I made French Macarons!!! :p

Red Berry Macarons

It was weeks before I had time to bake again and gladly I alot a day just to make my fantasies happen. I made macarons, almost spent half of the day baking. I super enjoy it even I had to do all duties on my own. Being a baker at the same time a dishwasher. But when you're having fun it's all worth it. So, basically its the same flavor with different presentation and size. 

French Macarons in 3.5 diameter in size, a literal bite size sweets.(Buttercream filling and red berry jelly)

My mom said I should work a little "pulido" since she saw I went beyond the border. Hehe!

Incubus - Promises, Promises

I'm not a fan of Incubus but when I heard this on the radio something struck me with this song. I googled the lyrics since I didn't know the title. Listen to it clearly, its very still and chillax. Here's the lyrics.

Lyrics to Promises, Promises :

I'm only 23 for another hour, give or take

I'm a fan of yours and I need a good mistake

I'm not a sinner or preacher, all I have is slight of hand

I do magic tricks for all the boys in the band

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?

I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance

I'd rather give up than give in to this

So promise me only one thing, would you?

Just don't ever make me promises

No promises

I've never done this before, promises, promises

But I'm enjoying the illusion and the things my body says

Now you see me, now you don't, oh how well you disappear

What are you running from and may I interfere?

Baby could I be the rabbit in your hat?

I'd swing if you'd hand me, hand me the bat

I'm on the road of least resistance

I'd rather give up than give in to this

So promise me only one thing, would you?

Just don't ever make me promises

No promises

Fasta Pasta Night.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

Chicken Linguine in Ricotta Tomato-Cream Sauce

There's nothing better than a dinner of creamy chicken and pasta to satisfy my Italian cravings. Last time when Jon was still around we sought for Japanese dishes, he's into ramen and I'm into Sashimi. We can get along since we have dissimilar food fantasies & the good news "No one to share with"! ha ha ha! However, truthfully there are times when I have the motivation to cook,thus ingredients are all out and prepared having no worries but proceed to cooking. It would indeed less hassle for me( which I sounded not like a culinary student) But when things clashed all you have to think is to make a delicious dish. A delisyoso dish which hit all the right buttons of the guest.

Originally, I was planning to cook Chicken Pappardelle yet can't find pappardelle pasta so I substitute linguine instead. Chicken Ricotta Tomato-Cream Pasta is basically composed of: Linguine(Noodle), Chix, Bacon, Garlic, tomato, Ricotta cheese, sun dried tomato in oil packed, dry white wine, heavy cream, lemon, red pepper flakes, S&P. :) Fast &flavorful night!Try it at home! :p
