3rd Marital Anniversary

On November 22nd in 2009, we filed our marriage paper!!!
I cannot believe it has been already 3 years since then!!!
(Our wedding and marriage days are different.)

On 11/22, my darling booked a restaurant called HI. SCORE Kitchen. He said he found the restaurant at groupon and was 20 bucks per person!!! Regardless the price, foods were amazing and they came with all-you-can-drink menu (incl. alcohol). Worth the price XD



The restaurant was very cozy and we had a good time talking with each other.



I was so busy that I didn't even post about it this year, so I made a quick post ;)

---------------------------------
How to Make Churros

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 6 doughnuts

Ingredients:
((Churros))
100g (3.5oz.) bread flour *you can use all-purpose flour or cake flour
A
* 150ml milk
* 20g (0.7oz.) unsalted butter
* a pinch of salt
1 egg
a few drops of vanilla extract
vegetable oil for deep frying
((Cinnamon Sugar))
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
3 tbsp. granulated sugar

Directions:
((Churros))
1. Cut parchment paper into six 5-inch squares.
2. Put A in a pan and bring to a boil.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and sift in the flour all at once. Then mix well with a wooden spatula or spoon until smooth.
4. Add beaten egg little by little and mix well. Then add vanilla extract to add flavor.
5. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large (0.6inch) star tip (do NOT use a round tip or the batter will explode!!!). Pipe rings onto the parchment papers. OR you can squeeze out the batter directly into the oil, cutting it with scissors.
6. Deep fry in oil at low (170C=338F) for about 4 minutes until golden brown (flip them 2 or 3 times). Remove the parchment papers when they start to come off. Place them on a wire rack to cool.
((Cinnamon Sugar))
1. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon powder in a Ziploc bag. Add churros (while they are still warm) one by one and shake until thoroughly coated.

You can dust churros with confectioner's sugar and serve with hot chocolate sauce :)

Best to eat on the day they are made!!!

I layered nutmeg flavored ground beef & pork and cinnamon flavored Kabocha (Japanese squash). I used holly leaf cookie cutter for Christmas, but you can cut out any shape. This nice pumpkin color is perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving, too!!!

---------------------------------
Spicy Meat Pumpkin for Christmas & Thanksgiving

Difficulty: Medium
Time: 40min
Number of servings: 20cm (8inch) pie dish

Ingredients:
((Kabocha Sauce))
500g (1.1lb.) Kabocha (Japanese squash)
A
* 60ml fresh cream
* 1 egg yolk
* 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
* 1 tsp. honey
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* cracked black pepper
((Meat Mixture))
150g (5.3oz.) ground beef and pork mixture
100g (3.5oz.) chopped onion
1 clove chopped garlic
B
* 1/2 tsp. nutmeg powder
* 1/3 tsp. salt
* cracked black pepper
1 egg white
((Toppings))
bread crumbs
grated parmesan cheese
olive oil
pink pepper
parsley flakes

Directions:
1. Scoop out the seeds of Kabocha, wash (you don't have to drain well), place it on a microwavable dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on medium (500W) for 3 minutes to make it easier to cut. Cut the Kabocha into large chunks (make sure you can cut out the skin with your cookie cutter later), cover with plastic wrap again, and microwave on medium (500w) for 5 minutes until tender.
2. Carefully scoop out the Kabocha flesh with a spoon. Mash the Kabocha using a fork while it is hot. Then cut out the skin with a holly leaf cookie cutter (or any cookie cutter of your choice).
3. Season the mashed Kabocha with A.
4. Heat 1/2 tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan. Saute the chopped garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped onion and saute on low heat until softened.
5. Add ground beef and pork mixture and cook until no longer pink. Season with B. Turn off the heat and let cool completely. Add egg white and mix well.
6. Preheat the oven to 220C (428F). Pour the meat mixture in the pie dish. Then pour the Kabocha sauce on top. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and some olive oil. Then arrange the holly leaves made of Kabocha skin around the edge of the pie dish.
7. Cook in the oven at 220C (428F) for about 20 minutes until the top is golden.
8. Sprinkle with parsley flakes, and garnish with pink pepper (to resemble holly berries).
