I know in the Philippines maple syrup is not always available and so I asked for a substitute for it. Here’s an easy substitute for maple syrup.
you will need...
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon maple extract (or vanilla extract)
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup boiling water
here is how....
1. Place the granulated sugar in a heavy skillet.
2. Heat until the sugar melts and turns brown (keep the heat very low so the sugar doesn’t burn).
3. Meanwhile, place the brown sugar into a heavy saucepan.
4. Pour water over the brown sugar and bring to a boil (without stirring).
5. Add the caramelized white sugar to the melted brown sugar in the saucepan.
6. Simmer, stirring often, until the syrup has thickened.
7. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter and maple/vanilla extract.
This makes about 1 cup.
Enjoy eating guys c:
It's been awhile since I had featured another blog. Now I had made my choice for some time and I found this unusual blog of a virtual restaurant named Manong Ken's Carinderinderia. I don't know the name of the owner but I have been dropping EC's and he is known to me as a good photographer too because I often visit and comment at his works in uncommon photographers where his photos of photograpehrs are posted. He also has four different blogs among them is Tribung Pinoy. I love his shots on his camera, now I found out that he cooks too when I saw it in his Carinderia Blog. Here is the sample of his blog. To know more of his recipes and pics, visit his blog by clicking at the names above.
Siesta Saturdays (My quest for Maricris black dress)
10 comments Posted by iceah at Saturday, January 03, 2009I miss doing this Siesta Saturdays at Maricris's Zen Ventures. Our mission for the day is to find the perfect dress for her to choose from. I decided to post it all here and write the links as well. Hope you would like and enjoy my choices and suggestions for you c: Here goes....
My 1st choice is this elegant dress with a waist wrap belt.
this will make an illusion that you have a slim waist...
(a fav, I so like it because it is perfect for me hehehe :p)
The 2nd choice is simple front yet lovely back design.
Link here
3rd choice is simple yet elegant with the shape of the body is seen plus the shoulders are on emphasis.
4th choice is a halter type like the 1st the back is somewhat emphasized.Link here
5th choice is somewhat separate like blouse and skirt not of the same material still looks elegant c: also a fav c: Link here
6th choice not the long gown type if you don't want it to be that formal c: Yet looks elegant, sleek and sexy still c:link here
7th choice is one of my favs too. Not the usual simple trapeze cut, not too fit yet shows sexiness even shows off your sexy legs c: link here
8th choice is a scoop neck design. Like the one on top, not too formal yet not too dressy. Simple yet sexy c:link here
9th choice is a white beaded black gown where the colar bone and the waist is also emphasized here c: link here
Last choice is something I would not choose to wear cause it's not my type but when my hubby would tell me to wear it why not c:

I had fun doing this because I was like having window shop c: hope you enjoyed viewing it. I wish this had been a great help for Maricris too c: Hope you found your perfect "it" dress...
