Old American Power Rangers clip of a dream sequence. Bulk and Skull become Hot Dog Ranger and Burger Ranger. It was.... horribly campy. XD
Made a Jambayala recipe today from my cookbook. Season chicken with spices, sautee with sausage until browned. Simmer with red onion, bell pepper, and canned tomatoes. Pretty simple. Too hungry to take pics.
Fell down the rabbit hole. Caught a link to this video from Imgur:
I don't even like tiramisu, but maybe it'll taste better if I make it myself. TMM won't have any issues eating it all himself, anyway.
I opted for this recipe since the video doesn't have any quantities.
I was actually going to buy premade marscapone, but I couldn't find it at the market and didn't feel like hunting it down. I plain forgot to get the ladyfingers. Eh, how hard can it be to make my own?
Marscapone cheese was ok, it's currently sitting in the fridge to thicken, so we'll see how it turns out.
Ladyfingers... I usually don't have a problem with separating yolks and whites, but I kept breaking the yolks. I don't have a stand mixer, and the immersion blender with whisk attatchment was overheating... as a result, I couldn't get stiff peaks from the whites and my batter was too runny to pipe. Ended up just baking it as a sheet cake like in the video. Might not have poofed up as much, but it still tastes like ladyfingers! Letting them get a bit stale first so they don't turn to mush with assembly. Now, we wait...

They morbed before morbing was even a thing.
Cheers!
I met a very attractive lady from Sicily once at a Japanese toy convention. She REALLY loved Starscream and came to my house to give me some home made tiramasu for breakfast, amongst, ahem, something else for the main course too...
I don't even like tiramasu, but now, I can't look at any without some rather fond, if strange memories...

I'm jealous of a woman TMM never met... lol.
All assembled! There's some gaps due to not having enough ladyfinger cake, but oh well. The marscapone/custard mix is delicious. Had some leftover whipping cream, so used that instead of heavy cream for the whipped filling. Didn't bother with the caramel layer like in the video. I did do semi-sweet chocolate shavings, though! Gonna try a little bit tonight after it's set. I'm exhausted. I don't want to do anything this complicated for awhile...

After 6hrs in the fridge...
It's actually really good. Maybe it's b/c the coffee/rum flavor isn't too strong and there's cocoa/chocolate shavings on both layers. The cream and whip is super light.
I actually like it. This is so weird, I've never liked any tiramisu before. I do expect it to get stronger overnight, so we'll see if I still like it then.

In case if anyone else is crazy enough to try this...
Ladyfinger recipe. Next time I will seperate the eggs first, then get them to room temp. Maybe add a pinch of cream of tartar to whip up the whites.
Marscapone cheese recipe. This was easy, used a coffee filter instead of a cheesecloth. Worked fine, just had to be careful with the paper ripping when scraping off the cheese.

Macky-Ds in Japan's got some special "One Piece" food up.
I chose the "Chicken Tatsuta Burger with Yuzu-Flavoured Grated Daikon Radish" and a Happy Meal (to get a Japanese-styled toy car, like a Japanese police car, etc) for my nephew.

The burger was ok, but like many (Japanese) McDonald's burgers, there was too much sauce in it, causing the meat and sauce to slip easily out of the bun.
Steamed Japanese pancakes with lemon yoghurt/ricotta cheese and caramel, alongside freshly made lemon squash.
Japanese pork katsu curry.
Cold Japanese soba noodles, with sobatsuyu broth and kakiage tempura (onions and veggies).
Tonkotsu ramen (champon).
Japanese mixed grill and BIG beer.
Ramune yoghurt float and coffee jelly float from McDonald's Japan.
Cute Pokemon cakes!
Limited edition Japanese doughnuts.
Nepalese and Indian curry with Nepalese beer.
On the way home, we chanced upon a Thai food festival, so it was rude not to support the local Thai population...

My girlfriend doesn't usually eat much but she INHALED the lemon pancake and immediately ordered a second one, this time with ALL the fruit.

Mmm, Pad Thai. I will also take one of everything you posted except the beer and coffee jelly.
Made this from the 2nd cookbook. It was really good, nicely balanced and a tad sweet. Just needed a few more mins in the oven, used a glass pan. Will probably double the recipe next time. The top left is from a different recipe, didn't want it to get confusing.

Nice! I am not a fan of coffee jelly either. In Japan, they eat it in sandwiches with cream...
Made Kalua slow cooker pork. Had half a head of cabbage that needed to get used, and wasn't up for corned beef again. This is greasy and salty, but good with rice/buns/etc. I did use less salt but it's still strong. I just love slow cooked meat and how it falls apart at the slightest touch.
Would cans like this be able to be sold in 7-11s in the US?
While not in 7-11 perse, I have seen them in grocery stores.
Depends on the state. Here in RI, only liquor stores can sell booze. Some other states do allow general stores to carry it. Not sure about 7-11 specifically, though.
