Bread in Cream

Assalamualaikum!

I havent blogged for 2 months. Sorry for the hiatus!The wedding was a blast.Everyone was so cute!Teehee.And now we have Ramadhan!Its a month of moderation but thankfulness.So whats new?I have another blog called Anggerik's Classics.I love skirts!Ho yeah.I'm done with 3 skirts alhamdulillah..another 5 to 7 ish more things to sew.boy oh boy!Then i'm also taking French Classes at the moment.Fun, but its extremly hard to pronounce the words.Apparently the teacher said i/we prnounced the word faux differently everytime.teehee.Beats me.They have gazillion letters in aword but pronounce only half of them.Oh well..

So i made bread pudding weeks ago.Last Eid, my friend made this really creamy bread pudding.She used baguette instead of normal bread.ITS SOOO GOOD!I tried looking for the recipe but i simply can't find it but i stumbled upon this one recipe.Its a fruits bread pudding or something but i omitted the fruits completely.=)

Bread Pudding and Custard Sauce

7 slices of bread cut into small pieces

4 large eggs

3/4 granulated white sugar

4 tablespoon of butter

4 cups of milk

a dash of cinnamon and vanilla

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degree Fahrenheit
2. Butter or spray the baking dish with oil

Custard

Using an electric mixer,beat the eggs and sugar on high until its thick

Add the cinnamon and vanilla extract

Beat in the milk

How to assemble the bread pudding

Arrange the bread in the baking dish and pour the melted butter on the bread.Then, pour in the custard slowly.Make sure each and every one of the bread is covered in custard.Keep the extra custard aside.

This bread pudding is baked in a water bath.Put the baking dish in A BIGGER baking dish and pour in boiled water in the cavities between the two baking dishes and put them in the oven.Bake the baby for about an hour.(Mine took longer)

So there you gooooo!Super Duper Easy Peasy.

I should have used a bigger baking dish and more bread because i ended up with extra custard.My mum heated it on the stove and turned into a sauce.

Apparently i DID NOT butter the baking dish.hurmm

So till then,

Bonsoir!

Assalamualaikum!

I just got back from kampung.Seriously EVERYBODY IS GETTING MARRIED!The villagers don't have to cook for the whole week because there were rewang and kenduri everywhere.I love weddings!I love the food especially.But boy!I definiley have forgotten how fattening they can be!(I'm going for a walk after this no worries).After living in Montreal for 8 months and not eating heavy Malay dishes that often,I'm suddenly not used to the thick,santan-y,oil covered dishes.I haven't been eating a lot of meat back in Montreal because we are trying to adopt the less-meat-eating plan.I am used to eating tofu and veggies and now in Malaysia,we don't eat a lot of those..The idea of stuffing your face with cholesterol is a bot sickening..

I think i've mentioned that i'm definitely in love with aubergines.I LOVE THEM.I REALLY DO!
So I tried making grilled aubergine salad and it was YUMMMYY!

Grilled Aubergine Salad

3 Medium Aubergines
1/2 of red and yellow capsicums
1 large tomato
3 tablespoon of oliveoil
A handful of parsley
black pepper
chili powder
Salt

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit
2. Chop the veggies
3. In a bowl,put in the chopped aubergine and cover it with water.Add a pinch of salt and let it swim for a few minutes.
4. On an oven tray,drizzle the veggies(except parsley) with olive oil and add the black pepper and chili powder to taste.
5. Bake them for 15 minutes (if you like to be a lot mushy,then let it stay in the oven for awhile longer)
6. Put them in a bowl and add more olive oil,pepper,or chili if you want to
7. Add the parsley and toss them well.

Bon Appetit!

If i have goat cheese,i would have definitely shred some on this salad!Plus if its too oily,feel free to reduce the amount of olive oil.I'm crazy about olive oil too!=)
Have fun and eat healthily!
i'm 20 and i'm not getting any younger.Its never too young to start being careful with what you eat!Eating healthily doesn't mean stopping indulging yourself with glorious food.Just indulge yourself moderately.Moderation is always the best!=)

Till then,Salut!
