The way I see it

First off just want to say I'm not very good at making perogies. I've tried 3 times now and I would have to say that they have got better each time. Here in Malaysia we have a small problem with getting the right ingredients for any western cooking job. for these bad boys I was really at the mercy of one particular ingredient - sour cream! The grocery store near my house doesn't always have sour cream in stock or perhaps it is a hot item and I never knew.  I better get off my rant and on to my post. I used a very simple recipe for the perogies The shell  4.5 cups of all purpose flour (I used a bit more) 3 eggs 2 cups of sour cream 2 tbsp of butter 2 tbsp of oil (or more butter if that's your thing) salt (you need a couple tsps or so) basically you mix the wet items then add them to the flour (I thought it was more difficult) make a ball or two and let stand covered for about 10-15 mins The filling 4-6 baking or other large potatoes 1 cup of cheese shre...

My sauce line is terrible Generous but not too generous cheese Pictures speak louder than words so I'm gonna shut up for the most part. A meaty pizza Ok this is a bit of an experiment with some frozen dough I found at Giant supermarket and a variety of other ingredients.  The meaty pizza may not look it but it has a beef sauce, ham and chicken salami. it also has mozzarella and cheddar cheese. The sausage and mushroom pizza has two types of sausage but only mozzarella cheese.  Unlike a lot of pizza I've seen in Malaysia, I put the mushrooms on top so that they will cook... that's how I was taught! A sausage and mushroom pizza  The quiche was a bit different.  I've never made this myself my mom always helped me! so I cooked some ham and mushrooms together until they were well cooked (picture one) and added eggs, milk, butter, flour, and some cheese. That was the recipe ingredients and it came out very rich I got your filling righ...

I decided to make some odd christmas cookies the other night - snowballs. I am really not sure how famous this cookie is or even how many variations there may be, but what can you do? First things first... create a standard sugar cookie dough then crush some candy canes and mix them thorughly into the dough.  Form the dough into a ball, stare at its majesty and take a picture. Using WASHED HANDS(you just took a picture) rip pieces of the large dough ball and roll them into balls. put the balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Space your balls about an inch apart - no one likes sticky balls! If two of them clump together don't panic, although if you' ve got more than three you may want to seek help. Bake your cookies for about 10 minutes at 190 C or until your balls are golden and lightly browning on the edges. Give the balls a minute or two to cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Congratulations we have snowball cookies! Tune in next time for 'baste m...

In my many travels to find imported food I have picked up my share of bad food. Today's post however, is not about green tea oreo cakes or fermented bean paste it is about rotten chicken. Chicken generally is not one of my favourite things to buy as I am extremely finnicky about it. So thos weekend I thought I would roast a whole chicken I was at KLCC and thought I would buy a whole bird at the 'cold stoage'. Big mistake. The chicken itself according to he packaging was 100% grain fed and anti-biotic free... trust me when I say it could have used some anti-biotics... or at least deodorant! It was in a sealed bag that was then wrapped in cellophane.... needless to say it smelled fine and the date? Why it was packaged on Saturday... not a bad deal! When i got home i opened the bag and released a horrible ungodly stench. The rank stank was so awful the only thing i could do is get the thing out of my condo. Thankfully, I was able to do that quickly. So let this be a warn...
