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!

dressing up desserts

I had just purchased a half gallon tub of ice cream and wanted to dress it up by making waffle cups. I knew it is made of the same batter as pancakes but without a waffle cone or cup maker I have a general idea on how I can make it into a basket shape and make it crispy. So I started by making pancake batter (again feeling lazy I used boxed mix) and thinned it bit with a little more milk. I cooked them as you would a pancake but since it was a thin batter you have to be careful in flipping it as it is more delicate.  When it has cooked I arranged them on an inverted slightly greased muffin pan then I bake them at 100 degrees until they were crispy - I did not want to bake them at higher temperature for fear of burning them so I baked at a lower temperature for longer time. dessert time!!!!

caramel apples!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
