jiggly java

summer is here and what better way to cool down that lazinf around with your favorite drink. I am still hung over making jello (still - because the last experiment I did was a failure *sniff*) so armed with new vigor I decided to make coffee flavored jelly which I will then add to a cold mocha drink.

Mocha Coffee Jelly Cooler
ingredients:
- 2 packets 3 in 1 (cream, coffee and sugar) coffee mix
- 2 packets black coffee mix
- 1 packet unflavored clear gelatine powder
- enough water as called for in the coffee mix
- a few squirts of chocolate syrup
- milk
- sugar to taste

how to:
- prepare the jelly as per package directions and flavoring it with the packets of black coffee. Chill until set. Cut into cubes when set
- prepare the drink by dissolving the packets of 3 in 1 coffee mix in half a cup of hot water, add a cup of water and half a cup of milk to make two cups.
- add chocolate syrup and sugar according to your taste. chill.
- to assemble, fill half - more or less to your liking- of your serving glass with the jelly cubes and pour in the mocha drink. Ice cubes optional.

cool drink with homemade banana bread - now my belly fat jiggles!

beefy buns

Nothing goes well with a big bowl of hot and hearty beef noodle soup than soft and fluffy steamed buns!  This dish reminds me of my childhood fascination of the vibrancy of a busy marketplace. During summer vacation, before going to work, my mom would take us to the market to buy our meals for the day and the corner noodle shop was often than not our main stop. We would order a couple of servings of beef noodles and steamed buns... I would often discreetly watch the people inside the shop - fascinated by the diversity of the patrons coming and going. There are families dinning out for a treat... couples maybe on a date... lone diners and working people like my mom dressed in office uniforms. Our take away package seems to come too quick for me to enjoy my time people watching and making my self dizzy going round and round on the bar stools. With a plop the server would hand us bulging bags full of hot soup and that would be the signal ending my market adventure as my mom wo...
