Zucchini corn fritters

I just realised that 2013 is  going to be over soon *sigh* a sign of relief or annoyance, not so sure right now. Anyway what matters is the present and the future. I have a lot of posting to catch up with I know. Last week and this week was a bit hectic. The other day I come across the question: if you could have an item from Harry Potter, which would it be? Without hesitation I would pick the time turner. It would be so handy I guess, not to change the past but to get to do so many other things I wish I could do, if this make sense. I miss Harry Potter days so much- it was mostly like the so-called golden age era for me. Alright it is not that long time ago, but it feels like so long time ago and like yesterday at the same time.
Back to topic, last Friday I made those zucchini fritters. They tasted so good. I did not expect them to be so yummy.
Will post the recipe soon.

Puto 'steamed rice cake'

I made these the other day. These steamed rice cakes are normally called 'poutou' in Mauritius and are traditional cakes for the Chinese new year. They are meant to smile when they are ready. I never like them before but I started to when my mum made them. I really do not know 'the' recipe and still working on it. I just googled for a few and tried the one most appropriate for me in terms of ingredients. I think that the ones I made were rather too dense, not light and fluffy as they should be. Most of them did smile though, which is great. When I say smile, I mean like they open and form a smile-sort of. Taste-wise it was okay. I will definitely come with a version I like. For the time being I will post some pictures to show what I am talking about.

 

Oh and I did put red colouring but I guess the brown sugar simply overtook the colour and that's why they turned out brown.

Oven baked chicken breast

This is what I made the other day, pretty much to try oven baking (?) some chicken, that is, without frying. Well, it turned out to be great. I love eating chicken breast (don't I sound like such a carnivore nanana). I think it is a great way to cook chicken. Interesting.
