Me cooksta.



Today's dinner. I love karee and while I would not eat it on daily basis, at least once a week sounds pretty good to me :D I don't know how to make real curry but I can make pretty damn good karee, even if I say so myself. In reality it's just chopping up the veggies (in todays case carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes) and cooking the meat, tossing the lot into a pan big enough and adding water. After everything is cooked properly you'll just add the ready cubes of saucemix and wait a few minutes until the sauce is done. Serve with rice and everyone will love you :D
Anyhow, today was vegetarian food for once but I'll admit it, I do need meat in my menu! Sorry pigs and cows ://

For dessert we made some lemon tart, just because.



The recipe is actually my Mother's, from way back, but it's delicious! It has a spongecake bottom topped with tangy lemoncurd and in this case, whipped cream. Notice my expert piping *snort* I think this was actually the first time for me to pipe cream. I've done chocolate stuff and a bunch of royal icing for the gingerbread houses last Christmas but cream... well, another first I can cross over on my list.

Speaking about cakes and stuff. Miia, my older sister, has her 30rd birthday on Friday. We'll be going out with her and some of her friends for a dinner and Samuli Putro-show. Me and Eve got Mom to buy us some foodcolors and things so we'll be trying our hands on the so-called "rainbow cake". Google it. I found a bunch of recipes for it but the best one seemed to be the Martha Stewart-one. It seems doable enough but I'm not gonna get cocky just yet X)) we'll use Italian meringue in between the layers and to top it off, it just can't taste bad!

I might have some news, too, but that'll have to wait a bit. Until that, tata!
