pie crust

two crust


one crust

Honestly, I’ve never tried cooking any recipe but sometimes I read recipes that caught my attention. I am going to share about what I learned today. It is about pies and pastry making. I learned that there are two types of pies: the one crust pie and the two crust pie.

The one crust pie is lining a pan pie with a thin layer of pastry dough and then bake. A cooked filling is poured into the shell and cooled. Sometimes, the feeing can be topped with meringue or whipped cream if desired. There is another way, it is to pour uncooked filling in the unbaked shell and bake them together. Another variation is to place the unbaked pastry dough on top of cooked or uncooked fruits, vegetables or meats in a deep dish instead of serving as a lining and then they are all baked together.

The two crust pie I when a thin layer of pastry dough which serves as the lining is filled up with a filling of one’s choice and covered with another thin layer of pastry dough which is sealed and fluted at the edge and baked.

crispy kang kong

This is crispy kang kong of mang inasal. I used to hate it a lot because I was thinking that it tastes like leaves but then my fiend bought some and let me taste it. I was wrong, it taste like Lays or some kind of potato chips. After that day, whenever we eat at mang inasal I make sure that we order some. I like it now. It was served with mayonnaise but I don’t like mayonnaise (hihihi).

my grades

I am so thankful to God because of my grades. I am very happy because He always hear my prayers.

poochie

This is poochie when he was small. He is so cute that time and I remembered that the first time I saw him is after my retreat when I was in fourth year high school. He was cute back then and vey fluffy and white. Now, he’s gotten old and I am very thankful that he is still with us. I don’t play with him that much but I love him. He is guarding the house and he is very smart. He barks when he needs to pee and poo outside. I hope he’ll be with us in the years to come.

new year 2011

These are foods that my mother prepared last New Year 2011. Sorry, we don’t have nice tables and presentations. We have ube, biko, buko salad, leche flan, pancit malabon, embotido, liempo and fruits. My new year is not that happy and not that sad. It is the same feeling as last year. I waited until 12 midnight and then went outside for a minute or two and then went inside and then ate the feast and then wait until the noise went down and then sleep. Honestly, I hate January because t is the start of everything.

Christmas giveaways

These are my giveaways to my friends last Christmas 2010. I was able to give it on the resume of the class, key chains for my girl friends and bracelet for my guy friends. The bracelets for the girls were given to my relatives as Christmas gifts. It is so hard to know what they want as gifts but we have no choice. We don’t know what they want so some of them were given a bracelet. My mother bought a lot of gifts for the children but it is not enough because there are so may so some of them were given cash. The bracelets that are made of beads(the fourth picture) are all mine(hihihi).
