Please build a house on a plate or a tray so that you can carry back and forth the freezer. Make sure your plate or tray will fit in your freezer. You can put in the fridge, but the freezer sets a little quicker!
Put in the freezer for about 5 minutes between each process to make it easier to work.
40 DARS White Chocolate & 9 DARS Milk Chocolate will be used for glueing. Use DARS White Chocolate to glue the parts. (Milk Chocolate will look messy.)
Place each chocolate in pastry bags, melt them in hot water, and make a tiny cut on the tip.

Directions:
((Foundation: 20min))
Place 4 CHOICE Biscuit on a plate. Pile 6 MARIE Biscuit on top of them. Repeat the steps to make the foundation. (Use DARS Milk Chocolate to attach the inner foundation.) Then attach 8 CHOICE Biscuit for the walls. (Use DARS White Chocolate to attach them.)
Freeze for about 10min to set.
((Parts: 6min))
Chimney: Cut KOEDA bar in half and attach them together to make a cylinder.
Door: Attach 1 Peanut Chocolate Ball on 1 MOONLIGHT Biscuit.
Windows: Draw windows on 2 DARS White Chocolate with DARS Milk Chocolate.
Freeze to set.
((Roof: 30min))
Make 2 pyramids of DARS Chocolate.
Gently attach 8 CHOICE Biscuit to make the roof.
Freeze to set.
((Finish: 50min))
Attach KOEDA Milk Chocolate on the roof.
Attach the door and the windows.
Freeze for about 5min to set.

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!!!
