Porridge (vanilla) and apples with cinnamon
This is my husband's favorite dessert. When he sees vanilla rice porridge at the grocery, he would always ask me to place some in our cart. He's like a kid when he's having his porridge. Not only that he enjoys it like a kid while eating it, he would always say: "my grandma would always make this porridge for me" and that would be followed by his visits to Oma (grandma) what other food she would prepare for him and so forth.

I tell you, I was jumping like crazy when this box finally arrived!
This happens when you meet good people online. I really am blessed because a certain brunette from Texas sent me this box with her self-baked Blonde Brownies or Blondies. She sent out boxes to few of us lucky online buddies. I am so sorry my dear readers because you're are not able to taste this brownies- they're gorgeous, simply gorgeous!
Since I started this foodblog, it has been a wish to taste my foodblogger-friends' go

I guess this was one coconut dessert that I really love. Not just the coconut pudding that you can eat but also the steamed pumpkin that was used to house the pudding. Glorious dessert!

3 eggs
300g coconut milk
pinch of salt

I thought it was about time to search for another carrot cake recipe ( I love carrot cakes!...btw, so sorry again for the long absence...I had the usual yaddy yadda :sick: ) , though I have my usual recipe, I decided to try one of those carrot cakes out there which I know are much tastier than my usual. Once again, I flipped the pages of Jamie Oliver's COOK with Jamie and this is what I found. I must say that it was a hit to both my bestfriend Christa and I because we found the mascarpone with

I sure did took a long vacation, eh? It wasn't because of my usual tardiness but for few valid reasons.
Back in October 2006, my husband's gout has progressed that he just couldn't eat what he wanted (and of course I couldn't cook what I wanted to :( ) My husband had to avoid food rich in Purine like fish, shellfish, poultry, meat (the list goes on and on and on) so it was quiet in my kitchen until christmas, which by this time my husband's already taking pills for his gout, just to prevent it
