Last Saturday, April 26, 2008, we had a little gathering at the residence of smiffytheninja aka Alyssamarie. The occasion? Just a chance to hang out with friends and family. Well, the day before that was my loving grandfather's death anniversary. Also, a week before that, Uncle Ray, smiffy's father, was "crowned" as Fourth Degree in the Knights of Columbus. And two days before that, our friends from Cebu came back from their 3-week vacation to the Philippines. They are from Cebu but they visited Bohol for 3 days. Also, I have friends from LA and from New York who are now settling here in California so I was thinking that was the chance for them to meet my family.
Since Thursday ug to Saturday morning, I have been baking and cooking for the party, although my Tia Edna ordered most of the food in the Pinay restaurant. Hapon aka ytesski baked Mint Chocolate Cheesecake and cooked Shrimp Scampi. Since I have all the time to tinker in the kitchen, I made a lot of stuff:
Torta. Funny, the kids call my torta, muffin!
I have lots of egg white from the eggs I used when I baked the Torta since I only use egg yolks in it. I made a version of Peanut Kisses but instead I use pecan nuts. Oh, I never thought the kids would go nuts in this delicacy! It was a trial but I was so glad the kids loved this Pecan kisses!
Butterscotch. This is C2H4's favorite! I made this because my friend Amy requested this delight. I used to bake this for friends when I was still working in the bank and I have to say that Butterscotch is my "claim to fame" in baking although I prefer Mango Squares better than this. Mango Squares, Maring Bella's favorite.
To be continued.
