my lunch
It seems that I am getting one of my wishes from my Big 3-0 list. :D
After baking cookies and lasagna last time, I had the chance to baked blue marlin for lunch awhile ago. As usual, I got my simple recipe from Allrecipes.com. I’m glad the husband liked it and I am making one again in the future for his baon.
For the recipe, please continue reading…

My Little Cook
I love baking! I have better chances in baking than cooking ordinary meals like Tinola or Adobong Manok. Actually, I haven’t had any success with chicken. Nakakahiya!
Anyway, I started baking again and made use of the oven this time. We’ve been using the Turbo Broiler since we got back. Started using the gas oven last Christmas.
For the holiday season, I made lasagna for the family. I never had the chance to take some step by step picture but I ‘d like to share something else. I baked cookies and had the chance to do some photo opps while preparing and baking :) I’ve tried baking oatmeal cookie when we were still in the US but never perfected it. This time, I believe, I did it! Thanks to more wiser me. *LOL*
Anyway, I made two different type of cookies in two consecutive days. On the first day, I made Oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and on the second day, I made Chocolate cookies. All recipes were from Allrecipes.com with some adjustments.
I went on doing the adult style cake this afternoon which, sad to say, was a failed attempt. I actually got an accident as I got burnt with the molder and I tipped it over crashing the second cake (I made two layers). I did not make the chocolate gnache anymore since the cake was ruined.
So there, no picture for this one. *buhuhuhu* It’s going straight to our stomach. :D
Okay, I have to blog about my cook fest yesterday before I get out of this room today.
My youngest sis who has been requesting me to bake her a cake since April 2007 (I think) is here in Manila and asking for it again. (Not whining here). I am supposed to make it last Sunday but the little princess got sick that day. So I have to postpone it until the following day (yesterday). But as I’ve said before, I was too dizzy yesterday but my mom was super persistent. So fine, I made the cake after lunch. Good thing I didn’t feel dizzy while making the cake, I was actually having fun. I didn’t make the same cake I did for the little princess’ 5th month birthday. I made it kid friendly since my sister’s going to share it with our niece and nephews. I haven’t had any news from them about it. I hope they liked it (not to the point they want me to make another one again, hahaha! Feeling!) And since I only made one yesterday, I’ll be making another batch for us today. This time, I’ll be doing an adult style cake. By the way, kiddie style cake = I used the filling as frosting too. For the adult cake, I’ll just use the filling as filling and I’ll make chocolate ganache for frosting.
After baking, I cooked the husband’s lunch viand for the following day come dinner time. I made him Five Spice Beef and Broccoli which I hope he’ll like. :)
