[非公開] hawaii helps
Baking in Hawaii is so so so different from baking in Japan, well, in my kitchen in Japan anyway.In Japan, I don't have a "real" oven, my "oven" is the size of a dormitory microwave oven. Sure, it can toast, bake, broil and microwave, but because of its size and because the element only heats the perimeter of the oven, I can only bake on my turntable (if I want things cooked/baked properly).Whi..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-07-17 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] coconut milk banana muffins
With the last of the coconut milk, I made some muffins.I used my favorite muffin recipe (minus Earl Grey), and subbed coconut milk for regular milk.Since the coconut milk was sweetened, I also left out the sugar for the muffins.The recipe also called for a banana and lemon juice, but I left the lemon juice out.For a nice twist, I also added a handful of 60% chocolate chips.

[非公開] "food matters" and it is "so easy"
Two weeks ago, the weather was crappy...it rained for two days straight! It rained so much that there were a lot of landslides. (Luckily not in our neighborhood)To keep myself entertained indoors I decided to try some new recipes.From "Food Matters" by Mark Bittman...I tried the "Nutty Oatmeal Cookies". Instead of chocolate chips, I added nibs and in place of butter I used olive oil.My oven is..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-06-03 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] re-do
The first time I tried this recipe, I didn't know what I did wrong. But as I surfed around the web, I had a feeling that I may not have creamed the butter well.So, this time around, I made sure that I creamed the butter well.But when I added the flour...it was still really dry.Not as crumbly as my first attempt but dry.I followed some of your tips and added some milk working it in and the dough..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-04-19 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] me-li-le poom!
Okay, so there was the "mantra" Me-li-le-pi Om!Now I introduce you to "Me-li-le Poom!"Mexican Lime, Lemon, Poppy Olive Oil Muffins.I found some blue poppy seeds at the gourmet supermarket (Seijo Ishii) and since I had some lemon in my refridge, I decided to "re-try" this muffin, this time remembering to add the lemon juice.I loved the popping of the poppy seeds in my mouth and the citrusy-ness.T..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-03-21 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] the blob
I had copied a recipe for these dried cherry scones by A.B. from a cookbook that my mom had.I cut the recipe in half because I only wanted to use 1 egg, but some how the dough was really, REALLY watery.I used vanilla sugar and subbed milk for cream but didn't figure that the milk would make the dough THAT watery...I guess I could have added more flour or something to get it thick enough to roll ..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-03-18 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] salvaged
I had a recipe for pecan nib cookies bookmarked for some time now.Since the weather was bad on Tuesday, I decided to stay indoors and tried it. I cut the recipe back because I didn't need 48 cookies around. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the dough came out to crumbs, I tried to press it together into a log, but it just fell apart.After letting it rest in the refridge (part ..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-03-13 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] me-li-le-pi om!
"Me-li-le-pi Om!" Is a Zen mantra...not!The weather on Thursday was cold and rainy so I stayed indoors and tried to keep myself entertained by making some sunshine.The "mantra" stands for Mexican Lime Lemon Pistachio Olive oil Muffins...I shortened it because, well, it was too long! (See what happens when I stay indoors all day long??...)I've been intrigued with many posts about olive oil cakes..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-03-08 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] jalna's brownies
It is Valentine's Day, where guys "rule" and women have to profess their love for them by giving them chocolate...ha! (though I did buy some chocolate for Satoshi) Still, I guess I'll look forward to White Day.I had bookmarked this recipe awhile back and finally got around to making them.I kinda altered part of the recipe because I was lazy to take out some butter from the freezer (so I added o..Our Adventures in Japan|2010-02-14 12:00 am推薦 -
[非公開] Cookies and stuff
Since I figured out how the oven on this thing works it’s been awesome. I never knew how to use it and I never actually looked at the controls on my microwave before or else I would’ve figured it out. Stupid. Anyway, used up the last of the cookie dough – that 1 batch made a lot. I think I am going to make focaccia tomorrow or the next day and eat it with a butter tomato sauce penne.Cory's Japan Blog|2009-11-30 12:42 am推薦
