Ladled

My encounter with  swirled white chocolate  chips was in a flourless brownie made with beans. 

Today I attended a birthday celebration. The cynosure was a  fresh fruit chantilly  cake. Layers of cake with layers of fruits. Fresh fruit tastes great when cut and even more if it comes with some sauce. But there are times when apples taste better uncut. Have you realised how a fruit triples in size when you cut it? It seems its a few bites and then into the trash with what little can be let to cling to the core. But when the knife comes into the picture, 'divide and rule'.. not so easy. I had some  chicken tikka masala  today and I ought to learn to make it. For some reason the gravy of chicken tikka masala and paneer butter msala, runny with tiny fried onions reminded me of  animal style fries at in n out burger . I also had lamb in mint sauce curry. Yesterday I made salmon curry in tamarind sauce and fried onions. Grilled Salmon over rice was the first dinner that I had in US at Ramada Inn when I got stuck at an airport. My friend told me about aspa...

Recently I wanted my parents to try rotisserie chicken. But whats available is too bland for them, so I decided to make a curry of it. I liked the taste but it also seemed like omelette just like how chicken gyros from Pita heavne had tasted.

Taken by  Moulded Snow Flaked Cake , I gathered it along with  Taiyaki  (only after biting into I realised that it had a stuffing - custard) and  tapioca mung bean cake . Before getting them billed, I just asked of the layers of each. The assistant said that the snow flaked cake has mung bean and durian in it. He asked me if I had it before. i told him that I heard of it. He asked if I liked to sample the fruit before I buy the cake. I am glad he did. When I smelled the fruit it was like cashew nut fruit and worse. A fluffy coffee milano. Tapioca Mung bean cake on the left.

Mini Green Tea Puff cake and another pastry from Desir bakery Wow wat an idea. A great cake inside a flaky crust layer on layer on layer...

With  a name like  kaleidoscoops , you will enter the store and ask the assistant for whats their special. And she says we dont have any today. while all you want to know is whats their best and you think how hard can it be to figure it out from the tags and the actual icecream there. We tried the  Caramellow . It was icy. The only problem is you have to wait for your sweet drink to melt a bit. Arizona's heat can be put to some use. Once liquified, it tastes sweet and icy cold. Their display had little cones of icecream as a party platter. They had some tiny buckets with candy and decorations. Some icecream pies and icecream cakes.
