Pizza crusts and shortcrust pastry... Basically I have problems with pastry so here's Chef John's No-Knead Pizza crust.


yes.

I am, eventually, going to attempt making Kuih Akok and Onde-Onde...

Akok, which I like to eat straight out of the fridge:
Ingredients:
9 large eggs
1 coconut, extract cream equivalent to 1 bowl
2/3 cup sugar
70-80 gm rice flou
Method:
1. Beat the eggs lightly with sugar
2. Pour in coconut cream and mix well
3. Add in flour
4. Heat the brass mould
5. Spoon mixture into mould and close the lid
6. Remove when cooked.


Onde-onde:
Ingredients:
250 g Glutinous rice flour
200 ml Pandan juice (Blend 10 Pandan leaves with 220 ml water.)
150 g Gula Melaka (Palm Sugar), finely chopped
100 g Grated coconut
A pinch of salt (or sea salt)
Method:
1.In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour with Pandan juice and knead lightly. Pinch a small piece of the dough (about 40 g) and drop it into boiling water.
2.When the dough rises up the surface, remove it with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water.
3.Mix it back into the main dough and knead well to form smooth dough.
4.Cover the dough and set aside for about 15 minutes.
5.Mix the grated coconut with a pinch of salt and steam for about 2 – 3 minutes and let it cool completely.
6.Bring a pot of water to boil.
7.Pinch a small piece of dough (about 15 g each) and flatten lightly.
8.Fill the center of the dough with gula Melaka.
9.Roll them in your palm to form a smooth ball and cook the glutinous rice balls in the boiling water.
10.When the rice balls float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and shake off the excess water.
11.Coat the rice balls with grated coconut and serve immediately.

If this works, you can expect some to be served on the day of my open house because I'm lovely like that. AND Sirap bandung because it's awesome.

Rest easy that the obligatory Raya poem will make an appearance eventually, fasting started out well but I still need to drink more water.

Things to do:
- Source out Some cartoony photos of a bunch of characters and some topography maps for The Expanded Screen (ES)
- Do all ES readings in prep for Tuesday's class.
- Buy a sketchbook for Make and start sketching things
- Sketch out idea for the 'paper' portion of Make and hopefully not get overambitious
- Design two different ideas for the same house, zoning, examples of images and types of materials to use for the house for Light Trap (LT).

Really, now that I've written all those tasks down, it's not that much of work actually...

EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL from Joanie Lemercier (AntiVJ) on Vimeo.

I made cake in a cup. No, not a cupcake. A chocolate cake... in a cup.

I made too much and it overflowed and I stood at the kitchen counter eating the cake that spilled over. There's still a lot left in the mug. I got full.

Recipe:

4 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp self raising flour
1 egg
3 tbsp vege oil
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp nutella

nuke it in the microwave for about 2 minutes... or 3 et voila! OMNOMNOMNOM...
I'm gonna try turning it into a brownie next time...

Since it's Saturday in the wee hours of the morning. 8PM tonight is Tapas night! YAY YAY!
It's been a while since I had a proper shindig.
