French Baguette

This is the recipe that I used and let me just say this....it is not as easy as following a recipe. It is difficult!

kneading the dough was difficult, the dough was very wet

molding it was difficult, as you can see in the pictures. The shape is weird.

The bread did not expand the way i expected

The crust was tough but it taste good

The crumb was okay

In other words, not good!

Carnitas Tacos

I made this a while ago and this is a repeat. The last adventure was documented here https://foodmolecule.blogspot.com/2017/01/pressure-cooked-deconstructed-carnitas.html

It is almost impossible to find soft taco wrap made with corn. The only corn tacos are the hard tacos which I was thankful for. I also bought some white cheese (paneer) to go with it. The closest thing to queso blanco

Tres Leches Cake (3 milk cake)

Make a sponge or chiffon cake, soak it in 3 kinds of milk and you get this cake.

Rather than making the sponge cake, I bought one instead, to save time and effort.

I mixed 1 can of evaporated milk, 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk and 350ml of heavy cream and a splash of rum. Fast forward, I can actually reduce the amount of condensed milk to 1/4 can and it will still taste good. 

For the cream topping, i whipped 470ml of cream with 2 tablespoon of granulated sugar. 

I soaked the cake overnight; making sure I added enough milk mixture.
