schnitzel, my schnitzel

A few weeks ago I was walking under a light snow fall in Vienna. We were only there for a day tour, luckily our tour guide and driver were kind enough to squeeze showing us the main points of interest and for a finale, led us to Figlmueller for an authentic taste of the iconic and legendary Viennese Schnitzel.

It took almost an hour for 6 orders of schnitzel and potato salad to come to our table - we were thinking how difficult can frying some meat be? well now with this video I now know why, and in all fairness it was the best schnitzel I have ever had to (including the one's Ive had during my first trip to Austria in Tyrol a few years ago) and the potato salad that we ordered with it is THE perfect accompaniment to it.

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
