Mamahaw ta!

the best combo for a sumptous breakfast

Mamahaw Ta - translated in English as Lets' eat breakfast.

I'm your chef on thursday mornings and this is the best combo for the day.

Fried eggs, fried hotdogs and fried dried fish  from Surigao thanks to our dried fish sponsor Kuya Jerry.

How about you what did you ate for breakfast?

Happy thursday morning to all.

Our sin is a barrier that separates us from God (Isa. 59:2). But “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus took care of the barrier to God’s love by His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection (Rom. 5:8-17; 8:11). Now He longs for us to experience His love and accept this gift.

My heart is stirred whene’er I think of Jesus,
That blessed Name that sets the captive free;
The only Name through which I find salvation,
No name on earth has meant so much to me. —Eliason

Through His cross, Jesus rescues and redeems.

My Leche Flan Flop

I wish my leche flan looked like this one.....

I bought a can of condensed milk and saw a leche flan recipe. It sounded so simple I decided to buy 8 eggs, a can of condensed milk, 1/4 kilo white sugar, and 3 pcs of  small llaneras to complete the whole puzzle of making the master piece.
I felt excitement, I was so thrilled I hurried home to make THE LECHEN FLAN.

I started making the caramel without water and the white sugar and left it on the pan, and did my egg yolk separation and mixing the condensed milk.  After I mixed the egg yolk and the milk thoroughly I went to get the caramel and to my surprise I saw a stone like thing with the laddle immovable...tsk tsk tsk now what? I reheated the hardened caramel and placed it in the llaneras and poured the eggyolk mixture covered it with foil and the steamed for 30 minutes. It was a tense waiting moment,  I kept testing it using the toothpick to see if it was done. I tried eating one llanera and it was soso though it may not look like the one sold in restuarants but to me it tasted like one, hehehehehe. And in the morning, I had difficulty  removing the leche flan from the llaneras coz I realized I used very sticky caramel for that, I have to remove it from the top part of the flan coz it was really hard. The taste was soso also and \i have decided in my heart that I would make a better leche flan, I have another leche flan recipe and I just hope it would be good enough.

Rating for my leche flan: 3 ( 1-10 and 10 being the highest)
