it KANI't be more easier than this!!!

I deviated from the usual green salad that I make as a side dish for Thursday night dinners where we usually have some fried or oven grilled meat because I had run out of dressing and couldn't find my favored bottled Balsamic Vinaigrette. I had a big bottle of mayonnaise though and thought of making kani (crabstick) salad instead.

The recipe for kani salad I found requires fresh mangoes, fish roe and sesame oil - all of which I don't have but I still went on to make the salad and the result was a no fuss yummy salad!!!

Kani Salad

Ingredients:

1 carrot sliced into matchsticks size

1 cucumber sliced into matchsticks size

1 small head of lettuce shredded into bite size pieces
3-4 sticks kani (crabsticks) shredded

3-4 tbsp of mayonnaise (more or less depending on your taste)

How to:

- just toss everything in a bid salad bowl and enjoy!!!!

super easy right!!!

so easy it was featured in Abu Dhabi Tempo's Dishes for Dummies

the crabstick and fresh carrots gave the sweetness to every bite of the salad which I think was the purpose of the mangoes.

pudding new life to stale bread!

Today while checking out our ref I found 2 left over buns from last week's lunch. They were stale and hard but do not have any molds - I did not want to throw them out so I rummaged through the pantry for any other leftover stuff I could use to make bread pudding. I found a couple of merengue - I did not know of any recipe for bread pudding using merengue but what the heck, I will just throw it in there too instead of throwing it out... There was also a bit of pink sugar left from a previous baking project... I have some milk, eggs, a packet of raisin and nuts... PERFECT! lets make bread pudding shall we? Bread Pudding Ingredients: - about 2 cups left over bread - 1 cup milk - 1 egg - sugar to taste - toppings of choice (nuts, dried fruits, chocolate etc.) How to: - cut the bread into small pieces- in a ...
