Since I borrowed the book “Essencials of Roasting”, I have been itching to try some of the recipes on the book. But a part of me actually refuses to exactly follow the instruction. I find myself always have a tendency to modify the cooking time, replace the ingredients or change the flavour. So when I [...]
I grabbed a bag of fresh chestnuts from Go Troppo while shopping in Fyshwick this morning. For a moment, my mind naturally and unconsciously went miles away and the image of old times of Beijing, the place where I was born and brought up, came up so close to me and took over my breath [...]
我 看老公馒头吃得有点腻了。也不怪他，天天早上一个小馒头，虽然我的馒头做得基本象那么回事儿，但水平也高不到天上去，更何况我也不是特别有天赋的人，一个 馒头还能搞出七八种花样。那天，他可能是看到了别人的Blog里介绍怎么做发糕，于是受了不少启发，突然觉得可以把馒头换换发糕吃了，所以开始敦促我学习 怎么做发糕。 我周日一天做了两种发糕，一种是直接蒸的，要用Baking Powder，就是所谓的泡打粉；另外一种是发酵后蒸，要用干酵母粉。我比较蠢，开始没有意识到我家其实根本就没有泡打粉这玩意儿，所以放了一丁点Baking Soda，结果又是用搅拌机打，又是洗盆刷锅的折腾了好久，蒸出来的东西吓死人，简直就是黄绿大霉糕，能吃但是绝对很难吃，没有怪味，但是也没有什么好味 儿。我郁闷了一会儿，重新又研究了一遍菜单，才发现了Baking Soda的问题。 下 午我反正也不气馁，继续做第二种，把面粉、玉米粉、干酵母和糖混合后变成面糊，然后发酵一两个小时。发好后上大火蒸，没想到蒸出来的东西还真象那么回事 儿。发糕切开后的横切面特别有感觉，就是糖放得太少（这是根据老公的旨意），不象小时候吃到的发糕那么甜。口味上比较清淡确实是个比较大的遗憾，不过想想 自己的年纪和体重，少吃口糖也就忍了！ 其 实这种发糕做法非常简单，还不用象做馒头那样需要后续揉面和刀切出形状。只要面糊一旦发好，直接上锅蒸就行了。只是我没有合适的模具，装面糊的容器什么 样，蒸出来的发糕就什么形状，厚度有限，不太美观，和我小时候校门外面小商小贩推出卖的发糕没法比（虽然据说那个东西比较脏）。不过自己做的发糕，感觉比 较“神奇”，嘿嘿，挺好玩儿的～

As Saturday I was so slack, most of the housework was left to be finished on Sunday. I started with making soy bean milk, then washed two loads of laundry, made some Chinese Buns for next two weeks and tried the new recipe of Apricot Slices (No baking) that my workmate gave to me. When [...]
