Hello Everyone!
I have two cooking... experiences to talk about. I guess I'll start with the most recent one, which was this morning.
Chocolate Banana Wontons
I was craving crepes with bananas and nutella, but as goes for most cravings, I usually get them when I am feeling particularly lazy, so I did not feel like making crepes. But alas, light bulb, etc, we had spring roll wrappers in our fridge! So like any normally person I decided to use that instead of crepes. The spring roll wrappers were very hard so I soaked them in water which made them very slimy. I spread some nutella on the wrapper, then sprinkled some diced bananas on, then topped that off with more nutella. I made two more and then I heated up some oil in a pot. A trick that my mom taught me today to check if the oil is ready, is to sprinkle a little bit of water in the oil. If it crackles and pops it is ready. So one at a time I fried each little wonton ( I decided to call my creations wontons, I'm not exactly sure what is defined as a wonton ... but I'm sure this qualifies). The first one worked pretty well, but the other two kind of fell apart and the last one did not get cooked very well and became saturated with oil, I think I did not have the oil hot enough. I toweled the wontons off and took a big bite of the first one. It was amazing! Crunchy on the outside fried banana on the inside surrounded by melted nutella ! Yum! It was like banana chocolate bliss, the banana had so much flavor! As for the other two, they weren't as good, but I don't care because the first one was so good. In my opinion, it was better than a crepe stuffed with bananas and nutella. I would add a picture but I ate the first one before I remembered, and the other two were quite ugly.
Greek Yogurt with Blueberry Syrup
This next one I made yesterday. We had Greek yogurt in the house, which made me really excited because the last time I had Greek yogurt it was so delicious and smooth, like some sort of pudding. So boy was I surprised when I took a bite of the Greek yogurt we had, and it was super sour! Since I served myself a big bowl of the stuff I figured I had to eat it. I decided to make a quick blueberry syrup to make the yogurt sweeter. So I threw a couple handfuls of blueberries in a pan with some water, sugar and vanilla. I brought the mixture up to a boil and poured it over the yogurt. And it was really good! But I have now learned to serve myself a small amount of something before I'm sure I like it.
<3 Meera!
