I'm going shopping. SIMMER DOWN MAN!

Amber those cakes look awesome! Sorry about your carpal tunnel. I have it too from all my years of typing and counting money. It's very frustrating sometimes when you're trying to get a hold of something and can't.

Thanks booty! She was so excited. From Thursday on all she could talk about was "my mickey cake" this and "my mickey cake" that. She's kinda mickey/minnie obsessed. My mom said she wanted to take pics to work to show people because they'd want to order them. I said no freaking way! Then, my grandma was like "what? you don't want to make extra money? shame on you!" They'd want to pay like $9 for one and then complain when I would tell them $50. The freaking ingredients alone were more than $9.

I'm making chocolate & chocolate caramel truffles for my dish this week. They use cream which is close enough to milk for me. I'll be sure to take pics before I let anyone eat them.

[Nessa 23]

I made a coconut ice cream:

Part I:

in a pot mix and stir until it thickens:

- 3 egg yolks

- 1 can sweetend condensed milk

- 1 can milk (use same can of condensed milk to measure)

- 1 tsp coconut extract (not really necessary, but it gives a special taste)

set aside and let it cool off.

Part II:

- 3 egg whites

- 3 tbsp sugar

- 1 can media crema (mexican cream similiar to table cream)

whip the egg whites until it's firm. add 3 tbsp of sugar (or less so it won't be too sweet) and 1 can of media crema.

Mix both Part I and II, add 1 to 2 cups of grated coconut, stir. Put in a 8x8'' dish. Freeze it overnight and voila!

so here's the truffle filling before it chilled

here's a few of the finished truffles...I didn't want to forget to take a pic so I moved them before the chocolate was set all the way and got fingerprints on them

[Nessa 23]

omg that looks amazing, chef ambypoo. send me some

[Amby 490]

they're actually super simple to make!

[Nessa 23]

when i was part of my dance group, we'd make bonbons filled with strawberry or coconut or grapes to sell, like this:

[Amby 490]

that looks yummy too!

what should our ingredient be this week? something simple again? maybe just butter? or do you guys want to wait until it starts to get cooler outside again and we're spending more time inside?
