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

whole-y moley wheat bread!!!

 I have been trying to master making bread using whole wheat flour, my first attempt was a complete failure even though I followed the recipe exactly. I don't know where I went wrong but the 'bread' didn't rise even after a couple of hours. I still went n to bake it and though it was edible to texture was not fluffy as shown in the you tube video tutorial but very dry and crumbly - almost like the puto seko of my childhood...  I continued to search for recipes and finally decided on combining methods from 2 recipes - and it was a success!

The mixture will rise and be frothy - add the rest of the flour and mix just until combined, rest again for 30 mins -  turn the dough ...

flan for one

It might be because I only cook for two people that I always have some ingredients left over. Half a tin of red kidney beans from making tacos, half a head of broccoli from a stir fry, a quarter of a box of coconut powder from making curry... everytime I try to make something it is almost always guaranteed that a quarter or half of this and that will be left over and the most recent is half a can of sweet condensed milk that was left over from when I made chocolate sauce. I stored it in a small bottle and tried to think of a way to use it up. I first though of using it for a sweet cheese muffin but that recipe only called for a few tablespoons so nope - not that recipe - I wanted to use every single drop of this sweet milk. Then while reading an article about the difference between a creme caramel and creme brulee I decided to make leche flan or creme caramel. Creme Caramel (for one) ingredients : - half a can of sweet condensed milk - 2 eggyolks - 1/2 cup sug...
