February 13, 2012

I tried to get in the Valentine’s mood with this post. I haven’t made any cute heart shaped food this year [maybe I'll plan for next year's V's day] so this is all you will get from me *update: my friend Micaela just pointed out the heart shaped baked donuts I made yesterday. OOPS.* I think [...]

Last Saturday I went to see the sakura [cherry blossoms] with my cousins. Sakuras only grow in Constanza and the trees are taken care of by the japanese community.

Eggnog Bundt Cake with Vanilla Rum Glaze

December 3, 2011

Yesterday I said on my FB page “eggnog = no thanks!” and most people agreed with me, both on Twitter and FB. Two of them told me to try coconut nog which im guessing is a version of puerto rican coquito, but I just don’t like the thick pudding-like texture and the flavor of eggnog. [...]
