I started writing when I was 8. My mom got me a journal where I could rant (prob so I won't be an annoying brat). I stopped writing for 8 years until the pen and then later on the keyboard called on me again. I blog because I like writing and that's just about it. Hope you get inspired though... Bite the apple!
I love eating champorado, but i've never tried making it from scratch. I just usually get a box from the supermarket during the rainy season.
My friend, Ottie, sent me some of her homemade champorado. We eagerly ate it after doing some gardening. Oh wow, it's definitely homemade and not out of the box type of champorado. It was thick, chocolatey and the right level of sweetness.
I forgot to take a proper photo of the food, haha. She also sent me leche flan which we'll have for dessert later. You can order her yummy food through her page (https://www.facebook.com/share/1CjoTdzA2a/). You can also message her if you want to send it as gifts.
Ahh, Christmas is just a day away and for our last "Recipes for My Son" video I thought I'd share Miggy's leche flan. He finally agreed to film it the other day (took me months to convince him!). He was still perfecting it I guess, haha.
It was Titay who taught him how to make leche flan. I remember we were still living with my parents that time. Titay also moved in with us and so I snagged the chance to have her teach Miggy how to make leche flan.
Miggy eventually started making it at home and I found this old photo of him. This was back in 2011 and I think it was his first time to make it on his own. He's our designated leche flan maker and I only learned how to make it when we were apart during the pandemic.
Found a few cans of Alaska condensed and evaporated milk which we got for free from the Coffee Home Brewers event. Got some eggs and asked Miggy to make us some leche flan. We'll make a second batch this weekend so we don't waste the milk (we'll giveaway some hehe).
And yes, Miggy has perfected his leche flan. Our favorite since it's not too sweet. Here's how he makes it.
I normally do my kitchen experiments on Saturdays, but since we went out yesterday I was too tired to do anything when we got home. I've been meaning to try making leche flan for a few months now. I never tried because Miggy knows how to make it. It was Titay who taught him how to make many years ago so I didn't make an effort to learn.
One reason why I also hesitated making leche flan is it requires so many eggs! I got a huge tray of eggs a few weeks ago and needed to use it up by this weekend. So I thought it's the perfect time to make leche flan.
I told Sweetie this afternoon that I had an egg project and was going to spend most of my time in the kitchen. I didn't want to tell him in case my attempt failed. I toiled over it for almost two hours and it came out like a normal looking leche flan hehe.
So here's how Sweetie reacted to the special dessert I made for him --
Ingredients (good for 2 pans)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
10 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
1 can evaporated milk (392 g)
1 can condensed milk (390 g)
Melt sugar with water in a pan. Place in lyanera and let cool.
Mix egg yolks vanilla and stir slowly then add the evaporated milk. Stir in condensed milk slowly. Strain until mixture is smooth. Pour mixture in 2 lyaneras and cover with foil. Steam in low heat for 30 minutes.
