Fiesta Friday #411

I’m in trouble. It’s just about a week away from Christmas and I haven’t finalized my menu. Unlike Thanksgiving, which the family has firmly decided as the best meal of the year and therefore pretty much set in stone, our Christmas menu keeps changing year after year. Sometimes we do ham, sometimes prime rib, sometimes turkey... see, all over the place. I’d like to, once and for all, come up with a menu worthy of the occasion that everybody is happy with. So I can just repeat it annually. At ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #410

I forgot to share with you what I made for Hanukkah. As always, we like to commemorate the holiday by serving fried foods. The fried food of choice these past few years has been sufganiyot.

Sometimes I even fill them with Nutella. All versions are delicious! All fried foods basically are delicious, lol. Once in a ... continue reading...

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Day After Thanksgiving! That’s my Thanksgiving dinner up there ↑. As always, I enjoyed the side dishes more than the turkey, though this year's turkey was particularly delicious. Most likely because my family did wake up early to help me prepare for the feast this time. The daughter's gravy was dee-lee-shish! Let's hope for a repeat, and maybe a three-peat, fingers crossed. Now... onto Black Friday... Don’t buy too many things! That’s my new ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #407

I finally made something worthy of a conversation. Right, right?! Pumpkin-shaped soft buns stuffed with more pumpkin, what can be more irresistible than that? If you love pumpkin, that is. Even if you don't, I think you would still appreciate these bread buns. Shaped like miniature pumpkins (so high marks on the cute factor), these pumpkin buns are made soft and fluffy by the Tangzhong method. And then, they were stuffed with pumpkin custard. So when you bite into the innocent-looking ... continue reading...
